For the Integrity of the Parliament and the Citizens of NZ

 

To the Governor General of New Zealand
Representing our Sovereign and Head of State – Queen Elizabeth the Second.

For the integrity of the New Zealand House of Representatives, the citizens of New Zealand, and to allowed continued confidence of the Queen to our Parliament where there can be possibly none right now, I ask that you dissolve the current Parliament and order fresh elections in six weeks.

While leaks do happen from and within our Parliament and the State apparatus, leaks that come from the Government Communication Security Bureau that was had concerns to 88 New Zealand citizens being spied upon without their knowledge by the GCSB is a very serious situation.

For a Minister of the Crown (that operates in the name of the Queen) to leak such serious information where our citizens are affected is beyond reprehension. Beyond reprehension as it damages the very integrity of being a Minister of the Crown (operating in the name of the Queen) who we trust with our confidence in such sensitive matters like the GCSB affair. The breach by now former Minister Peter Dunne damages the confidence of the citizens towards the state apparatus and the Executive Wing of our Parliament – the highest authority in our land (as it can effectively over rule our courts). For Peter Dunne to remain as an MP in this parliament after such a reprehensible breach in my opinion brings the House now into disrepute.

Thus I would call on the Governor General to dissolve this Parliament and seek a fresh election. This fresh election would allow a new mandate and Parliament to occur. This would also allow the nation to put behind a very sorry mess that has occurred. To not call for a fresh mandate belittles our faith in the Parliament and would cause loss of confidence from the Sovereign against the Parliament as well.

Of note in that message above I have noticed a small number of National Party members through social media effectively lashing out and acting like near sycophants in this matter. The questions are quite simple:

• How did Peters claim a scalp but you can not claim his
• Can you blame for 5.4% of the population for voting NZ First. This is a democracy not an autocracy or plutocracy just because someone voted the way you did not want them too
• Does that artillery piece with the phrase “aim to the far left John” do the Party any favours or does your behaviour also bring the party into disrepute with no only members but the wider public. There is a difference between Satire and disturbed behaviour, that photo being the latter of the two especially on a serious day like this
• And what would you have done to Dunne with him so implicated in the report on leaking security information that had concerns in regards to 88 citizens being spied on unknowingly. Probably nothing so long as you get to stay in power…

This message was written as a concerned citizen seeing Parliament being effectively brought into disrepute and upsetting the governance of this country. Honesty and Transparency should be held at the utmost. Lets start afresh and get on with the job as the people want.
