The Rule of Law is in trouble in N.Z.

By a man who knows what he’s talking about:
‘..The basis for these (Maori) claims rests solely on the proposition that the claimants are to some extent of Maori descent. If successful therefore they are thus in clear breach of a fundamental component of the Rule of Law. If such claims are to be granted solely on the basis of race, then what next. No member of the society any longer has the protection of the equal treatment component of the Rule of Law, and as a concept regulating the conduct of the affairs of society The Rule of law is fatally compromised. The inevitable consequence is that New Zealand will cease to be a society in which the Rule of Law is paramount, to one in which race based privilege or some other criterion depending on which group is seeking the privilege, becomes the deciding factor in who gets what benefits from society, and what opportunities are open to whom…’

    Unfortunately he starts very badly indeed:

    Liberty and equality, two of the catch cries of the French Revolution, are precious and fragile commodities

    Liberty as we all know has nothing to do with the French Revolution and everything to do with the American Revolution.

    Equality – well he’s right there: “equality” is the heir of the French Revolution, of Robespierre, of the Paris commune, and of the guillotine. Equality leads directly to communism, so to the very antithesis of liberty.
