Say NO to Aussie Rules!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1. As Wellington, Whangarei and Christchurch are now getting together their groups to join the movement it looks like by 21st of April we will have a national march. We desperately need a national co-ordinator to liaise with the various groups. Call me for job description on 09 377 2850 or email me on info@houseofradianceintl.com.
2. Anyone whose submissions have been refused hearing please make yourself known to me on Saturday by coming a little earlier. Please bring your submissions. Should we get press there we would like to make that point known to the crowd.
3. After speaking with David Sloan today of the Health Charter in Christchurch he raised a very alarming and overlooked point in this issue when it comes to advertising of health products section of the Bill. There is a suggestion that any material even books about Health that will be written and sold in NZ will also be regulated by this TGA dominated entity. Another name for CENSORSHIP! The more you dig the dirtier it gets.
Sue Kedgleys media release puts it aptly:
“We are being expected to pass legislation before it has even been introduced into the Australian Parliament, before we know any of the detail about how the agency will operate, or how many products will become illegal. It is madness.”
Help Turn the tide, assert your freedom, save democracy and demand sovereignty and show up to yell Our Health, Our Choice.

A message from Isabel:
** My request to speak to my submission has been refused by the Administrative Committee here in Auckland on the 10th April. New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland has been allotted only 3 hours in which to hear submitters and each speaker will have 5 minutes.
I think this is demonstrative of how the government regards the people whom it is elected to serve! ** [derisive snort]
It’s also very telling that much media focus has been given to the “anti-smacking” Bill over the past fortnight and almost a lid kept on the much more significant Therapeutic Products & Medicines Bill.
Someone replied to my earlier email as follows:
“Hang in there. A few weeks ago I presented my submissions to the City Council re objections to a proposed development in Stokes Rd in Mt Eden Village. There were so many submissions against the proposal that the Council had to have more hearing time this year. New information came to light during this process so the proceedings were delayed again and the material was forwarded to all the submitters.”
If the Auckland City Council can allow more time for hearings
for a relatively small number of people, the govt. MUST do
likewise for an issue that affects an untold larger number of people!
The Clark government is determined to have this invidious Bill passed. If YOU think it’s no concern of yours, please think again. I never thought 25 yrs ago that I would be dependent on vitamins & herbs to maintain my wellbeing & health but medicine can only “offer” me very dangerous drugs with their terrible side-effects & the drugs don’t cure. As I was, you may well find yourself in a position of being in need of nutrients & they will not be available IF THIS BILL IS PASSED.
If you have never been a political activist – now is the time to become one. Please fax your letter of objection of the passage of the Bill to the leaders of NZ First, United Future & all the MPs of those parties. Ask them to please vote against the Bill. Faxes cost of course, but MPs must reply to them – they can & do ignore emails. Please also fax your own MP [& others] about the refusal of the Select Committee to allow time for submitters to speak to their submissions: this is NOT “democracy in action”!! I suggest you check with your electorate office – my MP is in W’ton but his electorate secretary assured me that if I faxed it to the electorate office, she would ensure my MP received it without delay. Thank you all. Isabel
Media Release from Sue Kedgley of the Green Party:
Therapeutic agency plans opposed
Green Party MP Sue Kedgley will make a submission to the Government and Administration Committee today, opposing the Therapeutic Products and Medicines Bill.
“If this legislation is passed, hundreds of natural health products will disappear from our shelves, and become illegal, even if they have been safely used for centuries and have been approved by overseas regulatory bodies such as the US Food and Drug Administration,” Ms Kedgley says.
“More than 700 ingredients that are used in thousands of products on sale in New Zealand, are not permitted under the Australian regime. So far only 75 of these have been approved by the proposed new regulator. Many will not be approved and will become illegal.
“Why is the Government seeking to restrict our access to natural health products? If it gets through our Parliament, are people going to have people being arrested for selling natural products like kawa kawa?”
So little is known about how the new agency would operate that the legislation is essentially a leap in the dark.
“All the details of how the agency will operate will be set out in rules and orders which will be adopted after the legislation has been adopted. This means that the select committee is being asked to approve an unprecedented new, off-shore regulatory system, when it has very little detail before it on how the system will regulate.
“We are being expected to pass legislation before it has even been introduced into the Australian Parliament, before we know any of the detail about how the agency will operate, or how many products will become illegal. It is madness.”
Ms Kedgley will present her submission at midday.
