THE ‘ACT PARTY AND NZ FIRST AGREEMENT IN THE THREE PARTY COALITION THAT NO HATE SPEECH LAWS WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN NZ’

WHAT IS CHSA = Countering Hate Speech Aotearoa. (Scoop NZ 22/3/2023). Soop News Media NZ reported in March this year that SHSA plans to undertake work on Hate Speech Laws, this work is being performed by the NZ Law Commission. Paul Goldsmith National Party’s response to this was “he announced that he had directed the NZ Law Commission NOT to  advance with  the report on the adoption of Hate Speech laws in NZ.

The CHSA was formed with  the goal of promoting Hate Speech Law’ Legislation referring back to the Christchurch Lone Wolf Terrorist attack of March 15^th 2019. However CHSA focus much of their work particularly around LGBTQ1++ community, the rights of Transgender, inter-sex, gender diverse, non-binary.

The Chief Executive Paul Thistoll stated the Hate Speech Report will cost $200,000. CHSA is a non-profit Organization and CHSA was in talks with institutional donors to help fund the cost of the Report. Further research has found that mostly small donations have been obtained by CHSA. Sean Hendy donating $5.00. Sean Hendy – Auckland University, authored the book Silencing Science in 2016, an interesting read where scientist were being silenced on certain information that was never reported, published for the public of NZ to see.

Paul Thistoll is the main leader of CHSA describing the organization as an ‘open collective’ (Socialist). ACT Party and NZ First have concluded that there will be no implementation of Hate Speech Laws in NZ under their watch. Paul Thistoll CHSA described himself as an ‘entrepreneur  He had already written to the Minister Of Police and the Police Commissioner stating that police current posture on Hate Related Incidents are correct and lawful and should be continued”

Johnathan Ayling of the Free Speech Union in an interview spoke referred to Hate Hubs existing under the new 3 Party Coalition governance. 29^th March 2024 (The Press-Stuff NZ) Carmel Sepuloni  referred to Hate Speech as she referred to Paul Spoonley Co Director of He Whenua Taurikara, the National Centre for Countering Violent Extremism up until December 2023.  He was part of an independent panel advising the Police Commissioner and members of Te Raranga on a Police led project  on Hate Crime in NZ

The  NZ Law Commission was established in 1985 under the NZ Law Commission Act its principle function are ‘to keep the law of NZ under review in a systematic way- to make recommendations for reform and development of the Law in NZ. The NZ Law Commission is described as an Independent Crown Entity as defined in the Crown Entities Act 2004. The Minister responsible for the NZ Law Commission is Paul Goldsmith. The NZ Law Commission acts as an advisor to Ministers. (If Paul Goldsmith is responsible for the NZ Law Commission how is it that the Law Commission is still going ahead ? RED FLAGS.

THE NZ Law Commission consists of Judges Senior Practicing or Academic Lawyers (From the University Law Faculties). Are appointed for a fixed 3 or 5 year term. Researching further on the NZ Police Website have found  a heading titled “HATE MOTIVATED CRIMES”. Police  record all reports of ‘Hate Motivated Crimes’ incidences based on a persons perception.

A PERSONS PERCEPTION is the different mental processes that individuals use to form impressions of other people, the different conclusions they make based on their own impressions. The categorizing of a persons behavior, thus making predictions what people are like, and what they are likely to do, this allows people to make snap judgement and decisions that can lead to biased or stereotyped perceptions of others. (A process to perform an opinion) If people have a mental health condition, dementia this then can charge the way they perceive things to be, how one person perceived something may not be the way another person perceives it through variables, and subjective thoughts. (This is not evidential information its predictive)

The Police website makes direct reference to ‘A Persons Perception’ if they feel hurt, unsafe because of race religion, sexuality, gender, age, disability they should tell some-one. (NOTE : FEEL not experience- Not Evidential) Report it to the Police or one of the Police Partner Agencies -It is important to report it to the police because (1) This information may be looked at when sentencing some-one in Court (What some-one thinks can be held against you in a court of law upon sentencing)

(2)Police Website adds:- Individual Reports add up  and can show a bigger problem (Big Brother State Thought Police have you on record because some-one perceives that are hurt because you said something to them)  (3) Everyone has the right to make a report to the police as to what they perceive as hate speech, this includes family members witnesses colleagues of anyone else.  (4) Police will record this as Perceived Hate Speech whether there is evidence or not).  The person reporting the ‘Perceived Hate Speech’ to the police as given a Police Reference Report Number.

IF THE REPORT IS INVESTIGATE: (5)If the report is investigated, there is evidence of a crime COULD have happened (COULD is NOT DID HAPPEN) through Hate, Bias, Prejudice. Police records all information on the Report for the Judge to consider when sentencing people in court (COULD IS A POSSIBLE  OR IMAGINED SITUATION)  (6) The Person making the report to the police can add further information to that report using the Police Reference Number.

IF THE REPORT IS NOT INVESTIGATED: This may be because what happened was not illegal but its still OK to report this to the police, because its important for future investigations by the police. (You have NOT committed a Crime yet your details and the event as perceived as a Hate Perceived Crime is still recorded by the Police.) Police record ALL Perceived Hate Motivate Reports whether evidence of a crime has been committed or not.

This information I have researched has been documented on the NZ Police Website under the heading of ‘Hate Motivated Crime’ But ACT Party and NZ First made a collation agreement with National Party that there would be NO Hate Crime Laws implemented in New Zealand under their watch.  NOTE: There is NO Legal definition of ‘HATE CRIMEOFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT 1982. HATE MOTIVATED CRIMES A PROACTIVE RELEASES (PUBLISHED APRIL 2024)  NZ Police Website. In keeping with the Open Government Partnership National Plan Of Action 2016-2018 Police have released information requests where it is considered they contain data and information that has wider public interest. (HATE MOTIVATE CRIME POLICE WEB PAGE). OIA Responses 2024

Refers to four OIA Request dating from 22^nd February 2024 to March 1^st 2024 siting 4 PDF’s  *Information requested were reports of hate crimes against Police officers nationwide since 2019, a breakdown of the offence and number per region.    *Number of reported hate-motivated crimes, broken down month by month and by region from 2022-2024 against the following protected characteristic:- Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation.

*A breakdown of Hate motivate crimes between January 2023- February 2024 by type of offence reported. * From information published by RNZ, provide a breakdown of any charges laid. The outcomes of the cases where a charge was laid.

NZ Police definition of Hate Crime is ‘any offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated, wholly or in part  by a hostility or prejudice based on a persons particular characteristic eg Race, Religions, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Age, Disability. The Particular characteristics referred to in this definition are commonly referred to as ‘Protected Characteristics’.  In the absence of specific legislative definitions, Police themselves (Govt Agency) have developed ‘working definitions’ in relation to Hate Crime, Hate Incidents and Hate Speech. These adopted Police definitions are from a broad landscape of definitions and terminologies across agencies and communities within Aotearoa NZ and Internationally, for specific police operational purposes.

Police definition of Hate Crime is Perception based’. Police are required to record reported in sub categories such as ‘Protected Characteristic’ ‘Perceived Prejudice’ and ‘Perceived Hate’. 1984 ORWELLIANISM REVISITED.  State Police policing the Sovereign State.

HATE MOTIVATE CRIMES REPORTED TO POLICE THAT HAVE BEEN RECORDED. From January 2022 to February 2024  434 Reported ‘Perceived Hate Motivate Crimes.

RNZ Reported 17^th April 2024 Hate Crimes motivated by Gender Identity doubled between 2022 and 2023. The data was released to RNZ under an OIA request A 42% Spike since the Posie Parker Visit. Police reported that the 95% higher than the two previous years since the Posie Parker Event. NOTE: Police Website..Perceived.. Could..Feel.. A persons perception. Evidence or not is reported and recorded by Police. Transgender Mob Rule was clearly evident at the Posy Parker event at Albert Park Auckland as police watched trans community at the event harass, assault, abuse targeting anyone that was not of the trans community.

After being assaulted by members of the Trans Community at Posy Parker Event as Police watched on and did nothing. I complained to the two police officers that I had been assaulted, although they had clearly seen what had happened, I then described this to them. Their response “Well, the Trans Community are passionate in what they believe in”. I added “Yep and so are Murderers and Rapists’. This is NZ’s Police State. Political policing of Law Abiding NZrs.

THE PRESS Reported 29^th March 2024 article written by Paul Spoonley Co Director of He Whenua Taurikura, National Centre for Countering Violent Extremism. Part of the Independent Panel that advises the Police Commissioner on the police- led project to ‘Better Record Hate Crime and Speech. David Bromwell suggest we call it ‘Harmful Communication’. But Paul Goldsmith said that Hate Speech Laws would not be pursued. BUT Police Website clearly shows ‘Perceived Motivate Hate Speech that is reported, whether evidential or not is recorded in detail by the police and kept on their files. But Paul Goldsmith says quite different that Hate Crime Laws do not exist. RED FLAGS. On the NZ Police Govt Website they clearly do.
