The Gene Technology Bill 2024 is a questionable piece of legislation being ramrodded through Parliament by the PM and Minister-of-Just-About-Everything, Judith Collins.
Numerous
genuine experts are sounding the alarm at maximum volume . . . and trying to match the speed of their research and efforts with the speed at which the various vested interests are trying to get it through.
Thus, it's way beyond my current appetite to try to capture all the coverage and all the latest developments, BUT I will gladly point readers to one of the latest deep-dives into the whole issue (actually, it's downplaying it to call it just "an issue").
Online newspaper, The Daily Telegraph New Zealand, has just published its first Part of its in-progress three-Part series, titled 'New Zealand Teeters on the Brink of Irreversible Catastrophe'.
Not without good reason, the publication's editors believe every New Zealander should read the Series and appraise themselves of what's being pushed through behind deceptive wording and closed doors.
The author states:
"I have done the best I could with an extremely complex Bill, under unreasonable time constraints, as submissions must be in by 17 February 2025. This, in itself, shouts a vulgar, unnecessarily rushed piece of legislation that has the potential to irreversibly alter all living things, including human beings, in our country. (No politician or corporation has the authority to do that.)"
The author's research has been guided by
"some outstanding professionals, particularly the astute qualified barrister and solicitor of New Zealand and NSW lawyer, Katie Ashby-Koppens, who devoted an enormous amount of time to helping me unravel the furtive way in which the Bill was written."
'Little to No Safety Precautions for Gene Tech Use on Humans (read: Kiwis)'
Part One of the
Telegraph's three intended articles focuses on what is widely seen as the most concerning parts of all, from the proposed legislation . . . which is provision that "grants the New Zealand regulator the requirement to rely on approvals of overseas regulators to authorise genetically-modified injections for New Zealanders. Similar reliance on the ‘overseas regulator approval’ is ear-marked for the Medicines Act, which would see little to no national safety precautions considered for authorisations of gene technologies for use in human beings."
Yes, concerning stuff. And it's only the start of it. If you thought this was "just" about trashing New Zealand's non-GMO competitive market advantage for the enrichment of the vested parties and their well-paid lobbyists, you'd be wrong.
There Goes Our 'Clean, Green & Untainted' Competitive Edge in Export Markets
It not only demolishes New Zealand's to-be-treasured, clean, green and untainted, competitive status on the world stage, it also "removes choice from Kiwis by not requiring GM produce to be labelled".
If memory serves me correctly, that exact issue has been one that has been at the core of massive outcry in other jurisdictions around the world.
Part One alone is one the most detailed, best-research deep dives you'll read . . . and it accurately describes a dystopian nightmare in the making.
Above-mentioned high-profile barrister and solicitor Katie Ashby-Koppens is quoted as saying:
"This Bill is an integral part of globalist control of the world and New Zealand. This is now clear for all to see. No longer hiding in the shadows, the World Economic Forum, the United Nations or its purported agency of health, the World Health Organisation and their funders, big pharma, biotech companies, Bill Gates, and Larry Ellison, are paving the way for there to be no barriers, limited questions and virtually no regulation for their gene-altering products to be administered to New Zealanders, our animals, our flora, our fauna or our agriculture."
Part One of the Daily Telegraph's three-Part Feature series is chocka block with links to even more high-credibility deep dives from, again,
genuine experts. That is,
not the mainstream media type of "expert" or those drawn upon (and often, indirectly or even directly funded) by government. Instead,
real ones.
There are just SO many tracts from this explosive article that I would like to put before you by way of prompting you to read it, and to
read it in its entirely (you and yours, deserve that you should know what the powers that be are up to).
But try this for starters:
Quoting again from the article:
"What clearly stands out is that if the government intends, with this Bill, to make it easier for biotech companies to get their products into NZ, or produce them here, it may well lead to enforced mandatory medication of hazardous gene technology injections (and other substances as outlined above) as we saw in the ‘Covid-era’.
"If so, then that is:
- In violation of
The Nuremberg Code.
- In violation of the
New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990
and Human Rights Act 1993.
- In violation of The Hippocratic Oath.
- In violation of the Precautionary Principle.
- A violation of the genetic blueprint of life and all that we hold sacred."
With kickers including, but not limited to:
- Broad exemption from any and all liability for "the Regulator, any employee or agent of the Regulator, any enforcement officer, or any members of the committees".
- No requirement for any Minister or regulator to disclose any, or even any potential, conflict of interest - nor even any meeting had or to be had with any party that stands to benefit from this Bill.
Well done,
The Daily Telegraph New Zealand. May this
excellent piece of coverage make its way into the inboxes of every awake and alert New Zealander - and may they have the backbone to stand up and say, "NO" - albeit the vested interests have made sure that - with their February 17 deadline for submissions - their timeframe for doing so is as short as it could possibly be made.
