    My family settled in NZ in 1838, and we are proud of our heritage and history. I will be the first one to fight any change to the our political status. It just doesnt make sense.. there is no benefit to being a republic, and a lot to lose.
    So maybe you can name me a single benefit of belonging to the monarch? I can think of one, we compete in the commonwealth games as well as the Olympics! Cool right.......

    Even the name of the "Commonwealth games" makes you wonder surely? "Common Wealth", in simple terms that basically means a competition for all people of the same wealth... As in owned by the one person.... As in the Queen owns you, me, us, the land. Seriously if you buy any land in any commonwealth nation you buy the lease off the queen. At any stage the government (acting on behalf of the Queen), the Brittish army or any other person/organisation representing the Queen can legally take your land for what every reason they want. And that is 100% legal.

    Being part of the Commonwealth means nothing for trade either, England is in the European Union which is pretty strict on imports from any country, whether they are in the commonwealth or not. Our exports to England are taxed fairly highly compared to what an export from Germany to England would be.

    Yeah man, you are correct. In our jurisdiction it's eminent domain but don' be mislead - republics have the same thing. Ultimately the State/Crown controls all land and can take it in the name of the public interest. You don't think republics can take land for motorways? Or for hydro dams?

    Funny how people get brainwashed into believing that the Status Quo is the way that life has always been and that there is no other way!

    Right now the world needs a financial paradigm shift to free up and support whatever political "ism" they adopt and actually start to move forward again!

    The treaty and the monarchy are probably best abandoned and left with the paradigm of the past or simply carried forward as recorded historic facts.

    The old adage "money makes the world go round" can't work if all the money is choked up and stifled by a now defunct debt system!

    Take a chance make a change and move right along with the flow of the new age, it just might be more fun than you ever imagined!

    Stay as we are and just wait for the chaos of the final financial collapse .... social disorder and civil disobedience will run riot!

    yes. 100% legal, 100% unlawful.
    the crown CLAIMS by legislation all this shit. and i'm not kidding, in one act or another it says "the crown claims all the land and the animals thereon"
    what you get when you "buy a house" in NZ is fee simple title, that title comes with conditions (you MUST pay rates, you MUST not construct tall towers or drill for oil, or keep sheep if your title indicates a muncipal zoning etc etc etc) the crown retains alloidal title, which is why they can march in, put up pylons, house troops, whatever.

    the only way a claim stands as fact is if it goes unrefuted. (or, supported, at very least consented to)

    so, your homework today is to find out exactly what legal construct/fiction construes "the crown"
    and how and why you do what you're told (by parliamentarians et al) when NZ Legislation/statute states, quite clearly, that "this act binds the crown" - surely for that act to be binding on you, you'd have to be an actor, and/or, employee, delegate, agent or the owner of "the crown"...

    as above. but the governments, as they exist today, don't give half a flying fuck about "public interest"

    Not very long ago some of our laws did not bind the Crown. For example local authorities could not strike rates on Crown land meaning that some councils missed out being able to spread the load across the whole district.

    Geoffrey Palmer bless his cotton socks believed this was wrong and pursuaded Parliament to start binding the Crown. Quite right too.

    As for the Crown/State taking land, its much more difficult these days. The last major effort was under Muldoon to build the Clyde dam. Compare that with the governments recent efforts (Meridian) to create another hydro scheme in the Waitaki Valley. The RMA and local land owners made it so difficult, the scheme was abandoned which clearly shows governments can't just grab land even when they want to.

    Sorry Winston, the scheme was abandoned because of lack of suitable foundation on which to anchor the powerstations on the canals!

    The water hammer effect of the column of water under emergency shutdown procedures would have dislodged and destroyed them!

    The prohibitive costs incurred by RMA just to get to that stage of the investigations was also a contributing killer for "that" particular scheme!

    My understanding is that the term "Crown" refers to the Crown Bank of England,,or the Templer Bank in other words.
    What ever the truth is,so long as New Zealand remains the property of England in what ever form,,,they own us.
    I could see the logic in changing that,,,and it has nothing to do with the continuing chip on the shoulder about the place of Maori people in NZ society.

    The Bank Of England is "not" owned and has nothing to with the Crown or the British government or people!

    The Bank of England is a private independent financial institution!

    Fear not you are not alone ... most people think it belongs to England!

    Thanks,that's a very interesting link.
    Learn something new every day

    Then again,I didn't actually belive the British Gov't owned NZ,just the bank of England which also appears to own the UK.
    On another site I visted they make the claim that the Queen is a major share holder in the bank of England.
    I didn't really make any connection myself to the Bank being owned by the English Gov't as such,,that just came across wrong.
    It sort of goes around,,if it's true and the Queen is a major share holder of a bank that has so much power over NZ,,then in effect we are owned by the English,,,she is a pom right ?,,,,or
    Solution,,fuck them all off and watch the shit happen.
    What ever,,we only live for so long and it could be the best show for a long time.
