There is a link to a petition.

I have a video ready to go, just taking final thoughts to consider.

I have written some brief summaries of worrying elements of the bill (well – written/shamelessly copied). These can be accessed under the “brief summary” links section on the right of the page.

If anyone wants to write a summary of another element, please feel free to do so and post it in the comments section on the main page. I’ll make it into another page and place the link. I’m just tired, so i’m stopping for now.

All the people above who said they thought the Immigration Bill was a terrible idea, please go to the site and sign the petition.

Standardistas – if you could have a post tomorrow morning directing attention to the site that would be great. Steve – I’ll send you a copy of the video once it’s final.

Anyone else who wants it, feel free to rip it and send it far and wide. I’m going to start emailing it all directions tomorrow morning, as well as to the various media/human rights groups.

Cheers.

I’m just creating a petition statement – opinions of the below please?

—

We call upon the elected officials of the New Zealand Government to withdraw all support for the Immigration Bill. We feel it grants unchecked power to government, and should not be allowed while it continues to attack basic freedoms, attack natural justice, and violate universal human rights.

I have what is probably, without an ounce of ego, the single best protest movie ever made.

maybe a few ounces of ego.

ounces, tons, who’s counting right?

Anyway, I still need ideas for what to actually put ON the site once people go there.

If we’ve got a whole lot of horrified people, who want to do something very quick and simple – what do we give them?

A form email would be ideal – who knows how to do that?

That, and a big list of people who oppose it. One of those “enter your email address and you’ll be sent a confirmation link” things.

I’d like to release the movie tomorrow night, which means there needs to be something working by then.

Those damn im’grints and their abnormally large handicapped families… gosh, I just don’t know how we’ve made it this far!

Basically you think that persecution is a terrible thing… yet you’re damned if you’re going to let anyone being persecuted escape from it. You’re the hypocrite.

That is the last time me and many many of my friends will ever vote for Labour. I realise he is only with Labour to capture the muslim vote, but all he did, fortunately, was turn a lot of people off. I see he is still with you – what uneducated selection board chose a neanderthal like that to represent Kiwis who mostly find Sharia law totally abhorrent. Being tolerant to the intolerant gets you in hot water.

Any party or bill that negates NZ ending up like Britain who cannot get rid of terrorist leeches because of overtolerant western attitudes, whose taxpayers are forced to financially support these dissidents and their abnormally large families who have a high overrepresentation of intellectually/physically handicapped children)gets my tick.

Having lived (as a married white woman) in two Islamic countries and visited many more I would suggest the Labour party do a bit more homework on issues such as this.

However, I do find it funny to think of Mr. Choudry having to associate (and Gasp! – maybe even having to shake hands with) so many of those that his ideology hangs, throws from rooftops, pushes walls on top of – can’t think how the poor chap sleeps at night. What a party of hypocrites!

Even funnier was the time when NZ posted a female to Malaysia as our defence liason representative. (Under a Labour govt. of course)

Better ideas and web-design expertise still welcome.

I need a website/blog/whatever to provide a place for people to register opposition to this terrible bill.

It needs to be as simple as hell. I can provide a concept.

All I want is basically a completely black page with “record your details here to indicate your opposition to the immigration bill’s attack on human rights” in the middle. Under that, a box for a name that people can fill in. If under that we could have a huge scrolling list of all names so far that would be awesome, but I’m not greedy – just a counter would be fine.

At the bottom, how about: “New Zealand is a free country. Let’s keep it that way”

Can anyone help? I’ll have a shot at it tomorrow if not, but I’ve never done it before, will be a bit of learning. Busy with the publicity material for now.
