I have just listened to this. Obviously there is some very dirty
dealing going on to advance the interests of a few greedy people at
the expense of the rest of us. Anyone who values their civil rights
should be extremely concerned.

We don't have rights in NZ. Most acts of parliament over rule
the Human Rights Act. The Human Rights commission isn't
a body defending Human Rights abuses because most abuses
internationally are by government, and this department of
government involves itself in the standardization of human
rights of all government departments. So if they make a wrong
call about human rights,
turns out their the people you go to fight the wrong
interpretation of human right protections most likely
wrote it!!!!
So if you have a human rights problem, a real one, and
you take it to the commission they will gain bonus points
for settling the case, but if you have a bogus claim
(valid also but exposes the government as an abuser) as
its against their previous stance then
you won't get a day in court, or nothing, or some
white wash tribunal. Because the
'government' knows what is or is not a human right!!
That's just stupid. Governments are the major abusers
of human rights!
Which is a fundamental problem since the Human Rights
Charter clearly sets out that government need to provide
citizens with due process. How is stacking the Human
Rights arena with a government funded organization that
sets the Human Rights standard of the government and
hides any cases that were won! How are we to grow
a Human Rights social understanding if they dictate
what is Human Rights, and cover up any cases where
government was found wanting! Hardly a society
of understanding of Human Rights when government
never gets taken to court and exposed!
So don't expect anything but a dirty game from the
big parties, Its not National good Labour bad, or
Labour good, National bad, its Labour and National
sweeping their common problems under the carpet
when it comes to Human Rights Abuses.
Child poverty is a direct result of the Human Rights
Commission shuting out the concerns of the poorest in
New Zealand. Could a man with a legitimate case
for ACC compensation have been sent to jail unless
the ACC knew the the HRC was NOT a feckless road. No!
And do we get to hear about that abuse? A half minute
sound bite on the TV. But not one page on the HRC
website declaring the case history of such obvious
breaches of Human Rights.

What�s the problem again?
You know how lobbyists for rights holders and similar people point to
�rampant piracy� as the reason why we need to ditch inconvenient
things like basic civil liberties and reverse centuries of
jurisprudence that say we�re innocent until proven guilty and not the
other way round?
Those claims have never been backed up with solid figures, and
evidence is mounting up that the piracy allegations are lies, plain
and simple.
What�s more, the entertainment industry isn�t doing too shabbily
despite the worst recession in decades. In fact, NZ FACT and the likes
call the New Zealand film and TV industry �burgeoning�, saying it
contributes �an immense $2.5 billion� to the national economy.
The music industry seems to be doing rather nicely, thankyouverymuchly
too, judging by annual reports such as the APRA/AMCOS one for 2009
that show turnover and distributable income going up �in a difficult
year�.
Tell me again why we need draconian laws to police and terminate
internet users� accounts? Explain why the New Zealand public should
put up with secret counterfeiting/copyright talks that could see
overseas interests dictate our laws when there appears to be no need
for such things.
