EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Any day now, I am expecting the woke to cancel jury trials as the verdict from the home invasion victim who managed to fight off two offenders and then chopped off their finger, case is found not guilty.
Juries can’t be trusted to uphold woke law when repeated home invasions to pensioners should be tolerated and any fight back is prosecuted by police. Sarcasm.
Nice one, NZ Herald who is capitalising on this case to link the headline to Waikato Open day. Not subtle at all.
So now we can do vigilante style justice or is that only for Pakehas? Also based on my experiences of being in court (and I have been there many times) our old Judges many of them are racist so even trail by judge ain’t the best as they tend to give light sentences even for murder. I’m still waiting for the racist pamphlet delivering couple from Nelson to have their name suppression lifted. Although I am not holding my breath cause white privilege is very much part of our judicial system.
Interesting step in our trade practices y- question the system of ‘free trade’.

New Zealand has fired a warning shot at Canada over dairy tariffs, kicking off a dispute resolution under the trans-Pacific Partnership pact – the first of its kind.
Canada’s dairy tariff rate quotas (TRQs) set out how much dairy product can cross its border tariff-free.
Canada’s dairy tariff rate quotas (TRQs) set out how much dairy product can cross its border tariff-free.
Trade Minister Damien O’Connor said New Zealand had today submitted a reqeust for consultations under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), a free trade agreement both countries – and 10 others – are signatories to.
It is the first time such a dispute settlement has been sought by any country under the CPTPP.
“New Zealand considers the manner in which Canada is implementing its dairy TRQs to be inconsistent with its obligations under CPTPP,” O’Connor said.
“Many of Canada’s dairy TRQs remain unfilled and this represents a tangible loss to New Zealand’s dairy exporters.”
“The value to New Zealand of this lost market access is estimated to be approximately $68 million over the first two years, with this expected to increase year on year as the size of these quotas increase under CPTPP.”
