Law should never have anything to do with anything called 'principles'. These are subjective whereas law is not. Allowing the subjective into law allows for interpretation which ever way the parties may wish it.

Maybe this is what the people behind this want. The ability to re-interpret law to manipulate the outcomes to their favour?

In our current ethnostate, CRT driven clown country this comes as no real surprise but the push back upon this must be hard and real.

Oh sock it to him why doncha? Well done Sean! What a gormless twit you made Ron Paterson look. What a gormless twit he is! No let's tell it like it is. The man is corrupt. ( Possibly my last chance to be so rude as the Government has free speech in the gun)

Anna, principles have lots to do with law. The principle of equity, for instance, runs through English civil law. You may be thinking of something else here.

Barend, that is why the where in quotes.

Anna of course was referring to the 5 mythical treaty principles dreamt up by Geoffrey Palmer.

Well said, Sean. Those legal roosters have been brainwashed to the point where they think that a racist approach to the law is appropriate for this country. Absolute nonsense of course, and all dreamed up be Geoffrey Palmer, and strengthened by legal idiots who seem to be unaware of the advantages for all of the Principles of equality before the law. How Patterson could be regarded as an appropriate person to chair that panel amazes me. but maybe his appointment was carefully arranged by those who be3lieve in racism!
