1. NZ Human Rights is shockingly not legally bound to recognise legally any ‘human rights’ of any person who applies for anything, we found out last week from an immigration Lawyer!!!!!!!.

   My Son as a born NZ citizen was refused hisn human right to put in an application with the NZ Immigration department a few weeks ago.

   My Son advised me that two days ago asked for a review to have his application to allow his Germen Fiancee come from Germany for a short work visa while they await a permanent resident and get married but was told Immigration ‘does not recognise or is controlled by any ‘human rights provisions’

   My son then approached a legal consultant, ; – quote “An Immigration lawyer stated the NZ Human Rights do not apply to NZ Immigration”.

   So they confirmed they cannot intervene or consider even my son’s case to have his fiancee come in with a ‘temporary work visa’.

   Labour has a screwed up case with the drug dealer, Sroubek case but to refuse entry for a short term work visa for a member of a german born woman is also very suspect when he is still here after years?

   You cannot quote drug dealer, Sroubek should be given “human rights” when my son’s fiancee a legally bonafide citizen of Germany is not given “Human rights” to come here to get married and get a short term work visa!!!!! – where is the logic in that?

2. Our NGO letter sent today after yet another persons dies under a logging truck so we are supporting upgrading rail for freight to rid trucks from our single lane roads because they are a danger now far worse than ever before due to the number using our roads now.

   11th November 2018.

   Dear Ministers, Local civic authorities & rail stakeholders,

   We have written to you all multiple times since becoming our new Government requesting to restore our railway to Gisborne that was damaged after a storm in March 2012; – and caused by a lack of rail funding maintenance in 2011 on after funding was cut by Minister of transport Steven Joyce; – http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA1302/S00183/kiwirail-admits-lack-of-maintenance-led-to-wash-out.htm

   Sadly yet again we are reminded of what Julius Vogel planned for us all when he commissioned a NZ Government Surveyors map of routes where to complete the Napier railway from Wellington to carry on around the east Coast to Opotiki and Tauranga to Auckland in 1880.

   We have a Government copy of that 1880 surveyors map from the NZ Government surveyors office, and can be obtained from us by request by email to me ; —————– (omitted.)

   It is now time that we continue this long overdue plan for all our common interests of our common wealth, health, safety, security and wellbeing while lowering climate change emissions and saving of our environment.

   Review this report (below) in the Gisborne Herald to make you aware that road freight is not the answer here; – nor should it be used exclusively in our future.

   Yours truly;———

   State Highway 35 closed
   HIGHWAY CLOSED: SH35 was closed this morning after a fatal crash on the Tatapouri side of Makorori Hill that involved a loaded log truck and car. Police closed the highway here near the Makorori settlement turn-off and further north at Turihaua.
   A WOMAN died this morning when the car she was driving came into collision with a loaded logging truck on the Tatapouri side of Makorori Hill.
   Emergency services were called to the crash scene at 8.28am.
   The crash happened on the bend in the highway near the Tatapouri boat ramp.
   The woman was pronounced deceased at the scene.
   No other details on the crash were available this morning.
   Fire and Emergency NZ sent three appliances and St John Ambulance responded, along with police.
   A St John ambulance spokesman said the driver of the truck was not injured.
   Police closed the coast highway at the crash location
   Police immediately started a serious crash investigation and closed the coast highway at that location.
   The car the woman was in, and the truck, remained at the crash scene for some time as part of that inquiry.
   At the time The Herald went to print, police were unable to give an indication of how much longer that closure would stay in place.
   “The road is closed and motorists are asked to please avoid the area,” police said.
   Considerable traffic build-up occurred on both sides of the crash site.
   The closure is from Sirrah Street at Okitu north to Turihaua
   The highway closure was put in place at Sirrah Street at Okitu and at Turihaua to the north.
   It is the third fatal crash involving a truck on that section of the East Coast Highway this year.
   A 19-year-old man died in a crash that involved a loaded log truck and a car on SH35 on Makorori headland in mid-June.
   A 34-year-old man died when his stationwagon collided with a loaded log truck on the Makorori side of Makorori headland in late September.
   Police have not yet released further details on this morning’s tragedy.
