(Politics) Petition to Governor General - No Royal Assent to Electoral Act Violations

**riffer** · 18th October 2006, 13:41

Passing on this email message to other like-minded individuals:

This situation has just unfolded in Parliament today and it scares the hell out of me personally.

What’s next on the Labour radar??

Our beloved leader Helen and the Labour party is about to ram through tonight’s sitting of parliament a law that validates all currently “illegal” expenditure from 1989 until now and makes the culprits immune to prosecution. Wouldn’t we all love to see retrospective legislation in other fields?! They have bullied all the small parties into line except for our green friends who have chosen to abstain from voting.

This is a gross abuse of power by an increasingly dangerous, albeit minority government.

Please digitally sign the petition if you don’t like living in a neo-socialist state where the incumbent does whatever the hell they want. Please spread this far and wide. In my view this is really really bad for a supposedly democratic nation.

Done.

Also check http://www.election.org.nz/electorates/index-2.html to see which electorate you're in. I expect an invalid electorate will invalidate the signature

All done!

Did you vote? If so then sign it... if not... then sign it anyway... I doubt they will check each and every signature... and whats the worst that can happen... they check it and then don't add it to the total count...
