David Seymour wants to disband the Human Rights Commission – technically ACT aren’t fascist, but their shirts are sepia
HRC – A Useless Organisation Proposing Another Useless Organisation
“The Human Rights Commission is nothing but a Wellington managerial-class quango desperately trying and failing to justify the funding it receives from taxpayers. It’s time for it be abolished,” says ACT Leader David Seymour.
“One of New Zealand’s most serious problems has been met with one of New Zealand’s most serious wastes of money.
“Today they released a report, following a two-year inquiry, where their key finding is that housing is a human right and their solution is to create another useless organisation to act as a ‘watchdog’, and integrate te tiriti o waitangi into policymaking.
“There’s not a single recommendation that would, you know, make it easier to build more houses. Which is the fundamental issue here. ACT on the other hand has a detailed GST-sharing policy that funds councils to provide infrastructure, and will cut red tape around building.
“Time and time again, Paul Hunt and the hapless Commission have proven they have no clue. They trot out tired left-wing platitudes and talking points and barely even try to dress them up as something resembling genuine policy work.
“They fundamentally misunderstand human rights. A human right is only meaningful if someone fulfils a duty to furnish that right.
“A human right to housing is meaningless unless someone fulfils the duty of providing you with housing. The Commission couldn’t tell the difference between a hammer and a nail.
“If it was as easy as the Commission makes it out to be, ACT would simply say “it should be a human right to not experience a cost of living crisis” or “it should be a human right to not have to dodge hundreds of potholes on the highway” or “it should be a human right to not have to put up with a Labour Government until the election in 100 days.”
“It is shameless that they have spent two years on the taxpayer dime ‘investigating’ this issue and still can’t come up with a single solution. A group of fifth form economics students could come up with better in a few periods, that would cost taxpayers a lot less and the students might even learn something.
“The Commission is at best irrelevant and at worst dangerous. It has become a highly-politicised, left-wing organisation, and when it comes to actually helping people with human rights, it doesn’t help at all.
“ACT sees no purpose for it and would abolish it completely.”
Look, I’m not saying ACT are fascist, but amputating Pacific, Ethnic, Māori, Women’s and Youth political voices ALONGSIDE the Human Rights Commission make their shirts a shade of Sepia doesn’t it?
A light chocolate? A bark?
Sepia, chocolate or Bark, whatever the shade of shirt colour, it is a brown though right?
Not over the top fascism, that takes too much effort and we are far too laid back a culture for goose stepping, but we enjoy a casual fascism in NZ.
A gun centric, public service mutilating free market level basic bitch bigotry we are talking about here right?
Amputating the political voices of Māori, Women, Youth, Pacific and Ethnic Kiwis ON TOP of killing off the Human Rights Commission ON TOP OF ankle bracelets on 11 year olds ON TOP OF allowing the gun nuts to abolish the gun registry ON TOP OF billions into prisons ON TOP OF vast cuts to welfare ON TOP OF sacking thousands of public servants ON TOP OF vast tax cuts to the rich ON TOP OF a referendum to redefine the Treaty and force it upon Māoridom which will spark a civil war.
These are extreme policies which will cause enormous social dislocation and a level of violence that will make the Parliament Lawn protests look calm and rational.
ACT are drunk on their own sense of power and are promising ever more radical change which they intend to implement, no matter how many riots it inspires.
They are wide eyes acolytes who are believers and I don’t think the vast majority actually understand their policy platform and how dangerous it will be to implement.
You’ve all seen how useless Luxon is, there’s no way he’s going to be able to stop someone as smart as David Seymour getting everything he wants in a post election negotiation.
We will get 100% ACT policy with no filters.
The country needs to understand what that looks like before they vote.
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.

By their own definition ACT want to abandon our human rights.
Will anyone even notice if these departments are gone? Most people had more human rights before they existed than they do now!
What has changed is the corruption of the political process. The major parties only want corporate rights, mass surveillance and censorship — with some window-dressing of ‘woke’ word salad.
The department would presumably remain as a one-man organisation, because otherwise that particular group can no longer speak at the U.N. Human Rights Council.
100%
Reading Seymour speech makes me more inclined to vote for hom. A report that takes two years to write and then tells uspatitudes at a cast of ?????
Seymour is right. Get rid of it and the women’s (that is anyone who says they area women) Ministry.
Remember the two mill given to the HRC to process conversion therapy complaints?
These people are complete parasites ie HRC
The HRC level of competence in delivering anything is on par with a student debating society.
Bleating about things should be free, not cost us millions
The human rights commission is becoming a sham. Look at their lack of leadership of woke fads. They are out of touch with reality and not doing a good job. In principle I am for human rights commission, but since in NZ they seem more harmful and woke led than helpful to human rights, they should go. They have put woman’s rights backwards with the latest woke fads, that allow men to say they are a woman if it suits them and rapists can now choice to go to a woman’s prison.
No leadership of child abuse with kids being put on puberty blockers and then having body parts cut off as teenagers. Around the world the kids (many of whom are autistic and have other issues) are left permanantly disabled by the state sponsored woksters agenda.
Any voice of reason, from the wokesters in NZ government positions on this topic? Nope, they are pretty much useless and a waste of space – actually going in the wrong direction and creating a cult like fixation from Wellington.
Chloe Cole – puberty blockers at 13, double mastectomy at age 15.

‘NHS trans surgery damaged my body for ever — it’s not safe’
An autistic patient who reversed his transition is suing over treatment given to young people with gender dysphoria

Have NZ authorities banned or put anything forward to stop this state sponsored woke gender agenda in NZ – nope. They seem to be enabling it – and it’s spreading to the ministry of education who seems to be encouraging kids to think that puberty blockers and transitioning as a kid is ok as part of the curriculum! The ongoing lawsuits, mutilation of children and changes of mind from kids around the world, lack of research on the drugs and amputations and flawed studies, seems to prove otherwise!
In NZ the ring leader of the torture and murder of the teenager – was trans. Too little research and too much woke fuckery, silencing of the facts and lack of rigour in this space. Before diagnosing the latest fad, maybe look at other factors that might be the issue – before the kids become adults with major problems.
We have militant trans activists that fractures a elderly woman’s eye socket at a speak up for woman’s protest, and was initially reported that the perp would get diversion. Apparently if you are in the trans community, violence is ok in NZ, and supported by the highest cult like devotion in government. Watch this space because the guy that punched out James Shaw who he didn’t seem to agree with, got jail.
People arguably inciting violence in this gender space have herald columns!
Nothing from human rights commission!
100% Save NZ
saveNZ. 100%. Winston Peter’s calling out what’s happening in schools with so-called sex education scenarios was not before time, and as far as I know, he is the only person of stature who has.
Perhaps Winstone should have given shameless Jones some sex education, so he wasn’t tempted to watch porn and then be dumb enough to charge it to his work credit card.
Seems to me that Jones was giving himself a bit of education there; no need to waste Mr Peter’s valuable time on him, kids matter more.
So, Seymour is a hom does that stand for homosexual or homophobic the very people you don’t want to exist (based on your comment) Anker perhaps you need a W in front of your name.
I think Anker’s finger strayed from the I to the o which is next door just like some people press post comment repeatedly by mistake.
Was a passenger in a car when writing my above comment
Bugger off covid. The trans movement isn’t only misogynistic it’s homophobic .
Read about the lgb alliance in the UK and how Mermaids a trans group took them to court to try and stop their charitable status. LBG all good by me.
The ludicrous and authoritarian 2SLBTGTIA + is harmful for gays and many lesbian women know it
Yes anker I mean wanker
That’s childish mate. Is that the impression of yourself you are aiming for?
No it’s an impression of Bob, the most childish.
So where the fuck was the HRC when Jacinda was mandating Covid vaccines against Medsafe and MoH advice with the ensuing discriminations that ensued. If that wasn’t a bell weather moment for the HRC then what is.
Agree even though I am all vaxed up
Yes, your right Stephen the right wingers are scaremongering, but many News Zealanders are not as naive as they think which is why National aren’t polling higher despite Labours faux pas.

Godwin’s law? Or more fear-mongering?
