The consensus of opinion from those who attended ‘The Independent Outlook on the NZ Constitutional Review' meeting at Bureta Park on Monday evening,with a presentation by David Round, Chairman of the Independent Constitutional Review Panel (ICRP) was that it was an overwhelming success. ICRP was formed to counter the mischief being created by the Government (or should I say Maori Party) stacked Constitutional Advisory Panel which clearly does not have an open mind so that others who are actually independent need to represent the public interest. The message came across loud and clear – the Declaration of Equality (www.constitutionalreview.org) spells out what needs to happen to ensure there is one law for all and one class of citizenship in this country.
David Round is well versed and knowledgeable on Constitutional and Treaty issues. In excess of 300 people heard his message and hopefully took note of the implications. This was one of the larger Tauranga public meetings in recent years.
It is clear we, as New Zealanders, need to oppose separatism and bi-culturalism. New Zealand's democracy and our way of life is under serious threat. As Edmund Burke said, 'all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”. The ball is squarely in all New Zealander's court!!
