Typical for me… I procrastinated and worried so long about this proposed new Legislation that I allowed the deadline for public submissions to creep right up to the final hours.
I was forced to hastily throw together a very ruff submission which I have just dispatched through the Government Submissions engine here.

I must apologize for the poor quality of my submission.
I could not allow this Bill to pass into law without raising some sort of protest.
Here it is below…

Tim Wikiriwhi.

To The Committee.

I oppose Judith Colin’s ‘Gene Technology Bill’ as a most dangerous and subversive proposal that not only threatens to destroy our nations reputation for producing the safest and best food in the world, it also seeks to enact laws that trample the New Zealand Bill of rights under foot, by permanently legislating away New Zealanders rights to refuse medical treatments. This is esp outrageous given the whole world is trying to recover from the massive damage done to the national economies of the world because of Gross Mismanagement of the Covid 19 Pandemic including thousands of Deaths and injuries caused by the Vaccines.
Let us not forget Covid 19 was a genetically modified organism Engineered in a Lab!
That Judith Collins has included these sections in her bill that directly attack New Zealanders rights, and seeks to set up very lax non-parliamentary processes whereby medications and other intrusions can be imposed upon us exposes her ( in my opinion) as an extremely corrupt politician that does not have the peoples interests at heart.

The very purpose of having a Bill of rights is supposed to be a safeguard of citizens rights that blocks legislation like this Gene Technology Bill from being passed into law!
I call upon this committee not to allow this violation… but instead to reject the Bill because it seeks to contravene and nullify the New Zealand Bill of rights.

The notion that New Zealanders should surrender our rights to the determinations of an unelected medical bureaucrat simply on the basis of ‘any Two foreign health agencies recommending some medical intervention be mandatory’ …. is an absolute travesty!
How easily will it be to find merely ‘two’ out of hundreds of ‘Foreign Health authorities’ that will recommend mandatory medical interventions!
The world is awash with such institutions that pay no mind to such things as the rights of individuals!
It’s ridiculous!
That is to place the medical determinations of New Zealand into foreign hands!
*We don’t give a dern what foolish and tyrannical decisions are made in foreign counties… or dodgy international bodies like the WHO!
We demand our National independence and rights be upheld including the rights of New Zealand Citizens to refuse medical treatments.

We demand Politicians like Judith Collins pull her tyrannical head back in and acknowledge the NZ Bill of rights!
That’s her obligation as a servant of the citizens of New Zealand.
We are a democracy. Members of parliament are supposed to serve us the people of New Zealand… not their own financial interests… selling out our country to giant international corporations.
New Zealand currently has robust legislation that protects our National interests in Farming and food production from the very real dangers that are inherent in Genetic engineering and Gene technology.

The current laws protect New Zealand farmers and Consumers from Genetically modified organisms escaping into our environment or being put into our Food by stealth.
The desire to do away with these safeguards comes not from the people of New Zealand but from Mega corporations ‘Big Food’… who are interested to taking control of our entire food industries… for profit for the fat few… with zero benefits for the general public.
The way this would work is Big Food will get to contaminate our environment with patented Frankenstein organisms… and push small farmers and families out of business and reap obscene profits for themselves… having destroyed organic farming in New Zealand… and farming as a Kiwi family way of life.

We The people are not ignorant of what Judith Collins is trying to do!
She is trying to force Genetically modified organisms and Gene technology on to us against our will.
We don’t want GE Food… we are not so stupid as to believe any of the bogus claims the GE Food will deliver any significant benefits to the average Kiwi.
That is just Bullshit propaganda they use to suck in Idiots!
We demand any Product sold in New Zealand containing GE organisms be clearly labeled so we can avoid purchasing such dodgy Corporate muck and instead support Pure NZ Goodness.
Big Food can bugger off! as far as I’m concerned.
We don’t need their patented junk.
New Zealanders can grow plenty of Fresh pure NZ Goodness enough to feed our selves and millions more the world over.
It is our reputation for Pure NZ Goodness that is under threat by power mad money hungry pig headed politicians who wish to sell our Nation out to Foreign Corporations, etc
It’s obvious who those interests are that Judith Colin’s really serves…. *The Mega corporations*.
People like her also wish to remove the requirement of GE labeling on all products sold in NZ.
Why do Interests like this always wish to remove such mandatory declarations?

Because they know *Consumers* don’t want GM Products! Ie Consumers will not willingly prefer GM food over Natural food if they can tell the difference!

So this is about deceiving the consumers… for the sake of Mega corporations and their Patented GM Crap!

Furthermore… *on the basis of property rights* We New Zealanders do not consent to GM Crops being grown here in NZ *because You cannot guarantee the GM/GE organisms and gene technologies will not escape into the wider environment…. contaminating the property and crops of others who do not want GM/GE organisms on their farms or in their food!

Therefore it is upon Libertarian first principles that I demand the Government prohibit all GM’GE organisms and Gene Technologies unless they are grown under such strict and secure conditions that guarantees they will not contaminate the property or crops of others.
The problem for Big Food and Judith Collins is that Robust protections that insist on rigid containment of Gene technologies make them unviable and unprofitable…
I say Hard Cheese!
The Big corporations want the people to sacrifice their rights just so they can make a fortune without bearing full responsibility for the risks their activities cause to others.
That is why Judith Collins seeks to do away with current Legal safeguards that impose strict controls on Genetically modified organisms and so-called ‘Gene technology’.

The potential for absolute disaster from removing current safeguards controlling Gene Technology is a massive risk.
That’s for fools.
We New Zealanders don’t want anything to do with it.
WE seek to protect our Brand as being ‘Pure NZ Goodness’.
That is a winning strategy that will guarantee our Products are loved and respected the whole world over.
We will not be fooled into sacrificing that for ‘Big Food’ Corporate Greed.

Tim Wikiriwhi.

Recommendations…

I hope The committee informs Parliament that you have received strong public opposition to this Bill. and recommend the Bill be scrapped, and that current protections that control Gene technology be maintained… not loosened.

Secondly that The Bill be rejected because of it’s tyrannical sections which empower Health officials to impose mandatory Medical interventions, with  contravene the New Zealand Bill of Rights, esp in regard to section 11 and  New Zealanders Right to refuse medical treatments…
