Jacinda Ardern’s calls for censorship is a ‘war on freedom

[Wainuiguy]

I gave up hate a long time ago, it just takes too much energy to maintain.

These days I just accept that humanity is a lost cause and I celebrate the occasional exceptions to that state of affairs.

I recommend it, way less stress involved...

I think most people misinterpretted the entrenchment thing. I think most people support the Green's preference that water never ever be privatised, without realising the entrenchment clause was the government's way of ensuring that protection remained in place.

Without it, future governments can overturn any protections, and flog off control of our water to the highest bidder.

Probably Nestle, or Schweppes..

Then gods help anyone trying to capture rainwater. It'll be a  breach of copyright. Monsanto all over again.

No by doing it set a precedent that future governments could entrench their own policies thereby tying the hands of further governments.  There is already provisions within the bill to stop provitisation of water in 2 cases requiring a super majority of 75% for it to happen PLUS a majority of ratepayers voting for the sale.

Simple fact - they tried to sneak it in  in the dead of night under urgency, got caught and had to back track fast.
