    Meng Foon falsely called the Police racist, and then refused to act when Te Pati policy said "It is a well known fact that Maori are genetically superior"

    Who is the Commission accountable to? Unclear. Can we vote them out? No. Who is accountable for the Bill of Rights Act? Parliament. Can we vote them out? Yes. I'll take Parliamentary Sovereignty, thanks. Not that keen on the specialist bureaucracies.

    An interesting interview, ACT still putting in the work for NZer's. Agree with their stance on HRC, The Treaty does need defining going forward so that every citizen has the same opportunities, not race based or race biased. Activists don't want it fair and equitable because it doesm't suppprt their cause.

    The treaty is no longer relevant. It was written between two peoples, Maori and the British. NZ is no longer two peoples.

    The NZHRC say discrimination is ok if its positive discrimination. They are pro not anti discrimination.

    A new broom sweeps clean....take out the trash ...for too long we have complained about the stench but no one has taken out the rubbish. Awesome work Act party !!! Thankyou for working for ALL New Zealanders and seeing racist activism and destructive divisiveness as abhorent, wrong and long overdue for a deep clean. Thankyou for rooting out the bad smelling rubbish. Act isn't afraid to not only talk about it, stand up to it, roll their sleeves up and actually do something about it . Well done Act party members we appreciate your work . !!!

    We do not have any human rights left. Look at what Jacinta did! How to get people in government that are common sense and not totally invested in what they may collect.

    Wrong. More accountability for all government departments. Correct the wrongs and do your jobs. There is F all accountability across the board with all government agencies and departments.

    We need the HRC but they are so woe and weak. The issue is that they have no powers under the law. They need a hard line approach, severe fines (at least $100K minimum) ad the ability to issue those fines with out the need for court action
