Corruption in New Zealand's Justice system?

Corruption in New Zealand's Justice system?
2022 Dec 9

I long ago abandoned the naïve belief that my dear home country ofNew Zealand was free of corruption.

30 November 2022 Justice Layne Harvey heard the initial case and set the date for the urgent hearing for the following Tuesday. [https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/politics/supporters-gather-as-health-nz-heads-to-court-over-baby-guardianship-after-parents-request-unvaccinated-blood-for-heart-surgery/]

6 December 2022 Justice Ian Gault heard the case.

Why did Justice Harvey not continue with the case?

Ian Gault joined legal firm Bell Gully in 1993 and joined the partnership in 1997. 6 December 2018, he was appointed to the High court. [https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/appointments-judges-high-court]

(You see that right, it was four years to the day since he was appointed judge to the High Court. I have no reason to believe that is anything other than a coincidence.)

It would be naïve to think that after 25 years Ian Gault has no current connection with Bell Gully.

Why is that relevant?

Pfizer is the manufacturer of Comirnaty. Comirnaty is the mRNA 'vaccine' most in use in New Zealand and therefore. Bell Gully represents Pfizer

Justice Gault:

“Dr Morley’s evidence (including her reply affidavit) is that there is no scientific evidence there is any Covid-19 vaccine-related risk from blood donated by donors previously vaccinated with any New Zealand approved Covid-19 vaccine, and there are no known or suspected harmful vaccine-related effects of blood from a vaccinated individual to a recipient of any age, after millions of transfusions around the world,” Justice Gault said. [

I note he did not say the evidence is that it is safe. For perspective: In 1960 there also was no evidence that smoking was bad for peoples health. 

Is Dr Morley to be believed? The parents laywer Sue Grey had witnesses that contradicted them. [https://odysee.com/@FreeNZ:d/6185280FreeNZ-ICW-SueGrey-BabyWillsCase-Odysee-720p:5]

Conflict of interest

Bell Gully represents Pfizer. Not only do they represent Pfizer, they represent Pfizer over the product at the center of the parent's concerns - Comirnaty.
Justice Gault worked for 25 years to Bell Gully.
Pfizer's Comirnaty is at the center of the risk of what may be in blood.

NZ blood themselves say:

What about the safety of the spike protein in the blood transfusion?

The spike protein is present in vanishingly small quantities in the blood in some people for the first two weeks after their mRNA vaccine. The chance of finding spike protein in donated blood is very small, and it will be in the picogram range if it is there at all. It is not found in the blood after this time period has passed. There is no evidence that this represents any risk to recipients.

[https://www.nzblood.co.nz/knowledge-hub/covid-19/covid-19-vaccines/] 

So they know it can last at least two weeks/fourteen days.

Would not common sense say that you take the least risky option, especially for the health of a baby? 

It is very important to understand that an ‘absence of evidence’ is not the same as ‘evidence of absence’.  NZ Blood can say there is ‘no evidence’ but is that because no-one has looked and there is no evidence full stop?  Or does it mean someone has looked and determined through meticulous study that vaccinated blood is safe in the short and long term?

By the way (screenshot taken 2022 Dec 09, 9am).

O- is the universal donor. Baby W's family had organised 20 O- donor, just like NZ blood is currently doing.

I am not saying categorically that Justice Gault is corrupt. But dear reader, can you see that he at the least has an apparent conflict of interest? Would it not be natural for him to lean favourably to those of the from the firm he worked for, for many years?

Would I be out of place for questioning his integrity for not stepping down in favour of someone with no links to any pharmaceutical involved with covid-19 products?

I am not a lawyer, but I hear that the presiding judge is the same judge who has to give leave to appeal or/order a stay of the decision. That is crazy and opens the system to corruption.

So, do things look corrupt to you?

Fewer Children is not good for business

Fewer Children is not good for business.

Last year I was in the Professional Accounting School (PAS) for my professional membership for NZICA

The case study for PAS 2013 was based on Summerset Retirement villages.

Their business model depends on there being at least as many new retirees, as those that die. That is dependent on there being sufficient children being born to replace those that die.

I know from statistics around the world that currently areas of Europe, Asia, and North America have fertility rates that have dropped below replacement. I went to the NZ statistics website to see what the situation is here.  Below are quotes from NZ government statistics website.

If nothing changes, what is basically going to happen is that when those born in the 1960’s start to dominate the death statistics NZ’s population will be in decline. Before then NZ will have already been closing schools because of the declining school age population.

Immigration is not a long term solution as the counties most immigrants come from: the UK is in the same boat as us, and China, with their decade’s long one child policy have a worse problem.

Looking at the worldwide statistics, almost every country that still has a fertility rate above 2.1, it has declined. ( The world Fact book ) there are in fact two countries that have a fertility rate below 1: Macau and Singapore, that means that each generation is half the size of the one before (plus immigration)

 I collected below from NZ stats last year.

Reading this article prompted me to post this to my blog today.

More governments are worried about fertility rates Shannon Roberts | Demography is Destiny | 14 January 2014 The developed world is not reproducing at the rate necessary to ensure the replacement of generations. Read more...

Quotes from NZ government Statistics department:

For most of the 20th century, the number of children has increased. However, in the next 50 years the number of children is projected to decrease by more than 100,000, reflecting the combined impact of lower fertility rates and fewer women in the childbearing ages.

http://www.stats.govt.nz/browse_for_stats/people_and_communities/Children/census-snapshot-children.aspx

New Zealand's total fertility rate has been relatively stable over the last three decades, averaging 2.02 births per woman. During this period, the total fertility rate varied from 1.90 births per woman (in 2003) to 2.18 (in 1991 and 2009). In contrast, fertility rates increased dramatically from the mid-1940s, peaking at 4.31 births per woman in 1961. New Zealand then experienced decreasing fertility over the following two decades.

http://www.stats.govt.nz/browse_for_stats/population/births/BirthsAndDeaths_HOTPYeMar12/Commentary.aspx

(As the average 2.02 births per woman for the last three decades is below the replacement level of 2.1, our population is going to decrease. It has only being going up because of net immigration and longer life spans. )

In the last century, New Zealand went through a ‘demographic transition’ from high fertility and high mortality to low fertility and low mortality. This means that people are having fewer babies and living longer. Since 1977, New Zealand’s total fertility rate has been in the range 1.9–2.2 births per woman. A rate below 2.1 signifies ‘sub-replacement fertility’, meaning that the population will not replace itself in the long run, unless offset by migration.

Although fertility in New Zealand has generally been below replacement level since the 1970s, the population still has considerable built-in momentum for growth. The number of babies born today is partly predetermined by the number of females born 20–40 years earlier, while death numbers are largely predetermined by the number of births that occurred 70–90 years earlier. Thus, despite sub-replacement fertility, natural increase added more than 30,000 people to New Zealand's population in most years since 1990.

This suggests that confusion has arisen between the current fertility rates and natural increase of population, and the long-term effects of sustained sub-replacement fertility. Natural increase in New Zealand will decline steadily over the next few decades, as the population gradually ages, driving an increase in deaths. If sub-replacement fertility is sustained, deaths will increasingly exceed births in many areas of New Zealand.

In countries such as Germany, Hungary, Italy, Austria, Greece, Poland, and Russia, deaths already outnumber births. This reflects the interrelated trends of sustained sub-replacement fertility rates and ageing populations.

An interesting article from the Economist on declining fertility http://www.economist.com/node/14743589

 Unfortunately it has a few problems: 1. The assumption that fertility will stabilise world wide – there is no reason to believe it will. 2. For countries with below replacement fertility, it makes no mention of the effect on the economy.

If a kid can, so can I

It has been a long time since I updated this.
I have now done 900km on my sofrider, so I better put something up about how it has been going.

To start with, if this kid can ride a front wheel drive bicycle, with practice why shouldn't I?

The Cruzbike sofrider.

http://cruzbike.com/sofrider
Now learning to ride it, the front is noticeably heavier - others have mastered it, with practice, so can I.
(just a little note for the curious - see the posted time below, here in NZ the time of post was Sunday 28 August, 10:06 pm.)

The name Wanderer was given to me by the friend of the daughter of the woman I was flatting with quite a few years ago now. I asked her why 'wanderer'? She asked in return, "don't you wander around exploring?" And yes I do.

And 'kiwicruzcyclist'? Too echo a friend - walking takes to long to get anywhere, and a car is to fast to see everything - so a bicycle is a better speed of travel. The bicycle in question is a Sofrider from Cruzbikes, which has recently arrived from the US, started putting together today and will finish tomorrow (God willing).
"But if the cycle is a cruzbike, why not kiwicruzbiker?" Because of the association of 'biker' with motorbikes rather than cycles, and in particular (motor)biker gangs.
(By the way - I can ride and motorbike and have a full license to ride one)

Something else about today which is important to me.
The present time straddles the 27 & 28 August (2011) which is the Memorias of Saint Monica and her son Saint Augustine (Bishop and Doctor of the Church)

Saint Monica (331 - 387)

She was born at Thagaste in Africa of a Christian family. She was married young, to Patricius, and among her children was Augustine. He had a brilliant intellect and uncertain morals and his wayward spiritual career saw him at one time a Manichee and then a Neoplatonist. With many tears she prayed unceasingly to God for his conversion and her prayers were answered shortly before she died. She had a deep faith and outstanding virtue and is a wonderful example of a Christian mother.

St Augustine of Hippo (354 - 430)

He was born in Thagaste in Africa of a Berber family. He was brought up a Christian but left the Church and embraced the Manichaean heresy, later seeing how nonsensical it was and becoming a Neoplatonist instead. He led a wild and dissolute youth. He took a concubine by whom he had a son, Adeodatus. He had a brilliant legal and acedemic career. At length, through the prayers of his mother, and the teaching of St Ambrose of Milan, he was converted back to Christanity. He was baptized in 387, shortly before his mother’s death. He returned home to Africa and led an ascetic life. He was elected Bishop of Hippo and spent 34 years looking after his flock, teaching them, strengthening them in the faith and protecting them strenuously against the errors of the time. He wrote an enormous number of works: the Office of Readings has many extracts from them. He was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Boniface VIII in 1308.
