There have been some disturbing developments in NZ lately, and as Christians we ought to be aware of them and think carefully about their significance. Cam Slate of the BFD has highligrhted them in a post provocatively entitled “It’s Official, New Zealand Is Now a Dictatorship“. He highlights disturbing things that have happened in the last week. I quote:
- The entire country was locked down under Level Four rules.
- The Government passed regulations to enforce mandatory masking.
- The Government passed regulations to require compulsory tracing.
- The Government via the Police abrogated Health exemption cards to compulsory masking.
- People who were protesting were arrested, charged and placed under house arrest with no access to internet capable devices
- The Government sets up and encourages people to use a snitch line to dob in neighbours, friends and family
- Media are operating as Government snitches
- The Prime Minister and her un-elected Health Czar have suspended parliament unilaterally.
To that, I would add the government’s anti-parent approach as demonstrated in the conversion therapy bill and the Ministry of Health’s advice that children between 12-15 do not need parental consent for the vaccine. Go and read Cam’s whole article on the BFD.
Also check out the press releases from Judith Collins and David Seymour. Suspending Parliament at such a time is unconscionable.
