What a surprise…
ACT MP asks Parliament to limit use of ‘genocide’ when describing Gaza war
Despite being in a party committed to freedom of speech, Simon Court asked Parliament’s Speaker to consider restricting the use of the word “genocide” to describe what’s happening in Gaza.
ACT MP Simon Court has tried and failed in his bid to seemingly prevent MPs from using the word “genocide” in the debating chamber when referring to Israel’s war in Gaza.
Court raised the matter with Speaker Gerry Brownlee on Tuesday, saying the use of “genocide” risked denigrating the reputation of the House of Representatives.
“This allegation of genocide is made repeatedly in this House by members of the Opposition, and I’m concerned it might lead to violence against Jews in New Zealand,” he told the chamber.
Simon Court seems himself as a free speech champion but like all right wing free speech champions, he is nothing more than a dirty hypocrite.
Here’s what he had to say about protestors…
…and he’s now lecturing on the use of genocide inside our parliament!
Simon is a free speech hypocrite and is nothing more than a zionist pimp who is constantly demanding NZ bends the knee to Jerusalem.
The Right have always faked their support for free speech and here he is trying to remove the right for Politicians to use the word Genocide to rightfully describe the terrible murder that the Israeli’s have perpetrated against the Palestinians.
Simon represents all that is hypocritical in ACT and he is a disgrace.
The latest TU Poll shows ACT slumping to 6% because when you are a cross burning, banjo twanging redneck, you want your alt-Right culture war hate to be top shelf and NZF are providing that messaging far better than ACT can because David is the Deputy PM who can’t roll around in the sewer the way Winston can.
Court is ranked number 5 on the Party list, but with Allah’s help, if ACT’s vote continues to slide, he could be out on his arse in the next election.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
he would wellcome genocide right here in NZ .
You can’t take the ACT Party seriously anyway….
They are just a naive rag tag bunch of misfits….a weird mixture of child molestors, 40 year old virgins, gun fanatics, overfed climate change denying farmers …etc etc…who got into power through the backdoor by corrupting the MMP system…
The worst types of society all rolled in to one party …
The multi millionaires/ billionaires club that unwisely backed that lot have done their money and reputations bigtime!!
The Zionist people always claim that any criticism of what the IDF is doing in Gaza is antisemitic yet most of us are quite capable of distinguishing between what people do and who they are and any criticism is because they are doing evil things and nothing to do with their nationality.
It’s fair to say that all jews are not responsible for the Gaza Holocaust. There are many thousands of good jews worldwide who oppose the genocidal zionist entity.
‘israelis’ on the other hand… well, to quote the holocaust survivor Haim Bresheeth-Žabner:
“This is the most democratic genocide that we have seen in our lifetime… The genocide in Gaza is very different. It is very personal. It is actually done by hundreds of thousands of Israeli soldiers… This is even worse than the Holocaust caused by the Nazis”

You have to be pulling our leg, Simon Court! Have you put your brain into gear this morning? So in your mind, Genocide is just a word that offends you and your cohorts that we really shouldn’t use – diddums! Definition: “Genocide is the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, in whole or in part, through specific acts such as killing, causing serious harm, inflicting conditions of life meant to cause destruction, preventing births, or forcibly transferring children. Coined by Raphael Lemkin in 1944.” Genocide clearly means something very different to those of us who have a heart and a soul. Open your eyes you silly man and actually see what is happening here. This hatefest has been going on for years and years – it did not begin 7 October 2023! It is wanton continuous massacre/murder/butchery at its worst. Israelis hang your heads in utter shame – the sane world will never forget or forgive!
@ACT MP Simon Court. Still shooting himself in the foot then.
” Court went to Auckland Grammar School and then attended Unitec to study civil engineering.[3] At age 17, he was shot in the foot; Court said that this was after a cannabis deal his friend made went badly.[4]”
Look… ACT is roger and roger was labour and labour is the same fuckin’ thing man since 1990-ish.
ACT is oily financial carnage wrapped in day old news paper. ACT is what you get when super dodgy fucks try to hide the honorable rules of the public game.
ACT, like the other * MMP parties were conceived then manufactured by National to hide past crimes against our primary industry, which, thanks to them, is now fucked hence the panic from the polite, deodorant soaked halls of the crime scene also known as our parliament.
Farmers ( Economy) and @ Maori? (Treaty) You have to get together and form a union of solidarity to sieve through the crime scene that’s our 100 year old economy or we’re all going to go down the gurgler.
( Print this off. Stick it on the fridge. Thus mark my words.)
It does make one think that if he Himself is thinking in Such a Manner that what has created Him as a Monster???!!!
Would he have been one of those in NAZI Germany who controlled Human Rights to Free Speech and sent those who Questioned his Leader and him to Death Camps????!!!
In all reality I don’t think ACT and its MPs and supporters have any leg room in their Dictatorial requests and demands. After all THEY ONLY GOT 8.64% of the vote but deem themselves Thanks to Weakling Luxon to have 99.9999% of the control of government.
From the Fields to the Debating Chamber ACT shouldn’t think they have the right to Demand Anything. Just like the equally single digit in votes NZ First should expect any Entitlement.
But both NZ First and ACT appear to have been given Free Reign to do Whatever by an over-paid, part-time and practically Unemployable prime minister who is too WEAK to bring them(HIS coalition associates) to account.
In the end, he’s a member of Timothy Jago’s party.
If you’d happily rape a kid, of course you’re going to be fine with the zionists raping, torturing, killing hundreds of thousands of them.
Perhaps the facts don’t care about Simon Court’s feelings?
It takes a girl to ask nicely for a doing and when it’s finally the men’s idea it could happen. Meanwhile, this is the stuff of suicide.
PETERS, RESIGN
Imagine if Seymour did the right thing, over&over regardless of potential loss. Not so long ago he told the nation that Peters is insane. He’s never retracted that?
The incredible Tracey Martin new what she was doing when she escaped NZ First after she realised it was simply an Old Boys Club. As for ACT, they are simply NZ’s Clayton’s party, the party you have when you don’t really have a party…

Awful stuff. Just like nicky.preston@one.nz and her colleagues choosing to cancel peaceful protesters for opposing the genocide that Winston Peters loves so much.
Companies will always and forever do what is best for the brand and the revenue stream. They are completely amoral and every decision is a cost-benefit analysis. If they could profit handsomely from backing the Palestinian cause, they’d do it in a heartbeat, but they’ve calculated otherwise and so Acacia O’Connor is being binned because she believes the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians is wrong and that doesn’t gel with the image OneNZ prefers to present to the world. Clearly they care more about Winston Peters broken window than they do about genocide.
(Also, their service is still terrible and they continue to be a national telecommunications embarrassment.)

This Simon Court numnuts is a rank tosser. A piece of shit that needs to be flushed down the sewer into political oblivion.
And what about the Act politicians who used a dead child’s identity while advocating for harsher penalties for NZers who break the law.
It doesn’t help that he looks like Isaac Herzog.
