If your rights can be taken from you, they are not rights – they are privileges.

Last month, Parliament passed the COVID Public Health Response Act 2020, stripping us of our (previously) legally protected rights.

It shocked me to see how quickly, and with no media protest, our rights were legislated away. This legislation, easily the most draconian ever passed in NZ, turns every person into a potential criminal.

Children can be removed from their home or be prosecuted, businesses can be shut down, houses can be entered with no warrant, enforced testing and worse.

All for a ‘novel virus' of which there are hundreds discovered every year. No mention of effective therapies such a high dose vit C (the public knew – the shelves were empty!). No mention of testing being virtually meaningless or death rate being linked to pollution levels and co-morbidities. No mention of our real health emergencies - heart disease, cancer, diabetes.

I say 'I do not consent!”
