Thanks David. It’s certainly an important discussion. There are many many people supporting what you’ve got to say. I respect Winston but I don’t think he’s right in his approach on these principles and of course Luxton well Luxton but certainly it’s fair that a lot of national party people would be supporting you. I see Victoria University are running a course on how to put a submission supposedly of course against your bill now I think that’s incredible. They shouldn’t be allowed to do that. They need to be a political. There’s a lot of issues that have come out of this whole saga which is stopping the country from moving forward. I booklet going out to every home in New Zealand would be a major advantage. I would’ve thought at any rate, thank you very much.

'Tino Rangatiratanga' is a ubiquitous/universal concept .‘Tino Rangatiratanga’ denotes the concept of ‘Absolute Sovereign Mind’ or ‘Individual Liberty’ or ‘Self-Determination’ or ‘Free-Will’; in that everyone inherent of being human holds the inalienable right and privilege above which is not human, to think and make decisions based on their thinking in determining their actions and thus become the arbitrators of their mind to the consequences of their actions.

[@susanpockett4314]

I did NOT vote for Act (I voted for NZF and remain happy with that decision). But if this year's doings DO start a serious discussion of the role of the Treaty of Waitangi in NZ's constitition, I agree that this would be a very good thing. A three sentence treaty scribbled one evening by an employee of the British Crown and signed over the next few weeks by some (far from all) of the then rangatira of Maoridom is no basis for the constitution of a modern democracy. Personally I think it's long past time for NZ to exit the British Commonwealth altogether and become a Republic, with a constitution that is basically the presently "unentrenched" Bill of Rights Act 1990. I think this basic proposal should be further discussed next year and put to a binding referendum at the next election.

Have you been following the progress of the Gene Technology Bill? David Seymour has just supported it through to its first reading in the house. Section 50 gives government the right to forcibly vaccinate or apply any mRNA treatment or use any GMO on any NZer, even against their will, and overrides the NZ Bill of Rights. A new regulatory body will be established and when that body deems it necessary, (if two overseas authorities deem it necessary), then the NZ body MUST direct that such actions be taken against anyone in NZ, including possibly the entire population in the case of a pandemic or where a risk of pandemic is deemed to exist or become likely.
