John Robertson: The Secular State Under Seige

We are bearing witness to a profound, state-sponsored betrayal of the secular contract, a calculated metaphysical coup where a gutless managerial elite has allowed Māori spiritual beliefs to aggressively colonize our legal system, our policy frameworks, and our classrooms under the dishonest camouflage of "culture." Let’s drop the polite, cowardly euphemisms and name the rot with absolute precision: by embedding explicitly theological concepts like tikanga, wairua, and mauri into central government statutes, local regulations, and corporate policy frameworks, the state has established a toxic, selective soft theocracy.

Hugh Perrett: Tikanga is NOT law , is not a legal system and has no role to play or place in our legal system

Final Consolidated Legal Submission

TO:  Hon. Chris Bishop, Prime Minister Luxon, and Ministers,

Further to my earlier submission , I wish to restate the constitutional position with clarity and precision.

When Māori chiefs willingly, voluntarily, and without coercion signed the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, they “ceded FOREVER the ENTIRE SOVEREIGNTY of their country” to the British Crown. In return, they were granted “the rights and privileges of British subjects”, which necessarily placed all inhabitants of New Zealand under British law, which became the law of New Zealand.
