@ltg1810@richard53450679@v_j_freeman The judicial system does not know. They make a judgement on incomplete information.
That process will never be certain.
@ltg1810@richard53450679@v_j_freeman Why do you feel the need to be abusive. Don't respond to me if you just want to call people names.
Your argument becomes abusive when you claim something as true that I never said.
@ltg1810@richard53450679@v_j_freeman I don't condone the foul language and would rather it did not occur after my comment directed at others.
Your comment is incredibly flawed. It is fallacious. You make an inaccurate premise. I never claimed the evidence "proved no consent".
Arguing like that causes frustration.
@ltg1810@richard53450679@v_j_freeman Your logic is failing you. I never said what you are claiming.
The prosecution need to prove there was no consent.
@clairemcilvenna Obviously not.
The legal system doesn't require corroborating evidence. As such the process is flawed and almost everyone doesn't know the truth.
@JuniDebonaire@PronouncedHare The so-called "Principles of the Treaty" are not written in the Treaty. It benefits us all if we know what those Principles are.
@JuniDebonaire@PronouncedHare Te Tiriti guarantees the same rights. It makes sense to make it clear what that means.
As I said quibble with the wording if you want. However, it is impractical to have "Principles of the Treaty" written into law without those same Principles being defined.
@JuniDebonaire@PronouncedHare "Nothing in this Act amends the text of the Treaty of Waitangi/te Tiriti o Waitangi."
Did you read the Bill?
The Bill explicitly confirmed Te Tiriti.
"The Crown recognises, and will respect and protect, the rights that hapū and iwi Māori had under the Treaty of Waitangi..."
@JuniDebonaire@PronouncedHare Definitely terms is a good thing. Quibble about the definitions of you want but the principle was not only good it was essential.
