The universally unconstitutional war on drugs

The reversal of the onus of proof in drug-possession cases is incompatible with the rule of law and is therefore unconstitutional in all jurisdictions.

Ethnocide - A Crime Equal to Genocide: Submission to Navi Pillay by Michael Anderson

New Zealanders must 'speak out' about omitted rights or be reduced to 'numbers'.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 19/05/2011 - 7:44pm

Summary

New Zealand has been taken over by a 'bicultural' tribal elite, largely by virtue of birth, under the Treaty of Waitangi and manipulating human rights in their favor. The human rights omissions kill people and leave many with lives barely worth living. They have an anti-human rights philosophy, 'discriminatory collectivism', which aims to destroy individual and collective potential and any bottom-up challenge yet human rights regards the individual as a person (and spiritually, I believe, God regards the individual has having a 'name'). But there is still hope.

Converge 2011 Day 3: Protestors return to unlawful Curtin Detention Centre - DIAC and SERCO disgrace themselves

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 25/04/2011 - 10:30pm

The Department of Immigration and Citizenship has continued its criminality in its unlawful establishment under the instruction of the Australian government of Mandatory Detention Centres, such as the unlawful establishment that is the Curtin Detention Centre.

Hunger strikers, sit ins, petitions by brutalised souls cannot inspire the Government, DIAC and Serco to allow their visitors to meet them. The culture of secrecy and silence is unbelievable. The layers of racism in Australia continue unabated.
