King’s Counsel Gary Judd has been at the forefront of a battle to defend New Zealand from the actions of Maori tribal leaders attempting to force their cultural apartheid onto our country.
He’s defending the Rule of Law from attack by those pushing for
‘decolonisation’ by arguing that since
‘tikanga’ is an ‘amorphous spiritual culture’ and not law, it has no place in
our Common Law. And he’s appealed to Parliament’s Regulations Review Committee
to stop the compulsory teaching of ‘tikanga’ to new law students.
He’s also opposing a Court proposal to commence
and end each sitting day with a ‘karakia’ claiming it would breach the 1990 New
Zealand Bill of Rights Act. Since Court participants would have no option but
to sit through the Maori prayers, the proposal would violate their section 13 “right to
freedom of thought, conscience, religion, and belief, including the right to
adopt and hold opinions without interference”.
