Objection!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: In 2021 a group of prominent academics got ’cancelled’ for daring to oppose changes to the school curriculum that put all mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge), which can incorporate spiritual elements, on par with empirical science.

KC Gary Judd, a QC/KC for 29 years, got similarly hammered for opposing the introduction of tikanga, or Māori societal lore (not ‘law’), as a compulsory subject for law degrees.

Activist PC judges are now steadily pushing these concepts into the legal system with their rulings, such as with the decision to allow activist and amateur arborist Mike Smith to take Fonterra to court, effectively for ‘causing global warming’ with Smith, under tikanga ‘rules’, allowed to take the case ‘on behalf of the land and sea’.
