Anker. Peters has an impressive track record evidenced on Wikipedia, and served as a good Foreign Minister. But like others, I voted NZ First mainly because of his concern about the trans active extremism, an ideological- based agenda, now part of the school curriculum, which is sexualising and confusing children. This seems to have emanated from gender-bender Greens, been embraced by loopy Labour, and the Nats have not had the gumption to openly address it, whatever they may say privately. Keeping blokes in frocks out of women’s spaces is just part of this. Little girls going all day without hydration because they don’t want to have to pee in a place where boys are, is actually a health issue.

Apropos of this, any politician who thinks that gender can be changed by a simple annotation on a certificate, shouldn’t be in Parliament at all. The only politicians who voted against the dubious Conversion Practices Bill were: Bridges, Brown, Lee, McClay, O’Connor, Penk,Reti and Woodhouse.

Reducing the issue to ‘Peters policing lavatories ‘ is not only ridiculous, but also misogynistic.

Well, I don’t follow the Natz so I get most of what they might do from here. (and boy, they are not easy reads at that). Next, I am not talking about withdrawing from anything, but my recent post just above spells out what I would like to see, in short, democracy in action that helps preserve our sovereignty and self-determination.

To put it another way, how many people would be happy for our Govt to give a foreign body authority over us, that our Govt then, cannot reverse! Kinda TPP on steroids, bearing in mind, that I am talking hypothetically here, at this stage. But, as this issue has come to light, then I am arguing that if our behind is not covered against such a hypothetical, then why not cover it anyway, just in case….bearing in mind, again, that covering our behind or not, should be up to us (voted upon) to determine anyway.

Again, this is a simple issue despite the amount of words I’ve needed to write to explain what I see.

But we elected National knowing there would was no policy to hold a referendum on withdrawing from the WHO.
Are you saying we should forgo democracy and bow to the whim of a very minor parties wishes?

Again, not heard of or perhaps I should say, never noticed Democracy NZ until now. On top of that, I don’t care to notice or know anything about them except for the passage you guys brought to my attention.

As for the passage – preserving self determination, sovereignty is really the issue I am pushing here. Either we have the ability to do this, and if not, then we need to do something about this.

Our Govt should have the ability to say yay or nay to any commitment they have entered in to, which in turn, gives us the ability to vote in or out a Govt that commits to something that we, the people, end up not supporting. This is what democracy should be all about after all.

The issue here is simple, to me. Don’t mean to offend anyone.

Peace.

what a load of paranoid garbage AO – can you name WHO legislation that has compelled NZ Government to over ride any domestic legislation or is it just bullshit?

Are you a member of Democracy NZ?

which makes you a conspiracy fuckwit.

Every time Andrew posts, we must remind everyone he is a conspiracy fuckwit
