"There were very few New Zealand flags in the crowd" I don't know, it's almost like we're not hyper-nationalist flag fetishists like Australia or the USA, but no lets have a sports team logo because reasons.

Yeah I figure if we just make it red and blue instead of black we'll see a lot more flags at our national games (which we will watch with our mates while drinking beer and having meat pies) despite the fact that our national team's colours are not red and blue

[quote="Investigation finds 'multiple failures' at Mt Eden "]An investigation by the Ombudsman into an assault at Mt Eden remand prison has found multiple failures by Corrections, which in turn has told its contractor Serco to apologise to the injured prisoner. The segregated prisoner was assaulted twice in early 2013 by mainstream inmates who got into the yard but the jail's inquiry into how it happened didn't begin until October that year. The assaulted prisoner's lawyer, Craig Tuck, told Checkpoint the man was knocked out, as well as suffering other injuries. Ombudsman Dame Beverley Wakem has finished her investigation and castigated the Corrections Department for failing to properly look into the assaults. Mr Tuck said his client was one of many who had contacted him with concerns, wanting to be moved from the prison. He said it had highlighted bigger, systemic failures within the running of the prison. Mr Tuck said CCTV footage had either disappeared or was destroyed.[/quote]

I obviously have pretty formed opinions before this but the New Zealand Government is actually literally starting to slip in 'highly classified court sessions' or 'secret courts' or 'whatever book title you want to compare it to' provisions into legislation. I am just going to drop my wig into conversation and encourage all readers to come right down to Tūrangawaewae :  The Attorney General has 'casually' proposed amendments to add "Closed material proceedings" or "Secret Courts" or "book title reference of your choice" to Health and Safety legislation and is already enshrined in our TICSA legislation (it is from there I was originally interested and concerned). These provisions allow for special advocates who are to mediate between the accused and represent them but keep the evidence being used to convict them and to keep that information confidential as necessary/sought by the Government Agency at hand. This does not substantially address the inherent unfairness of keeping evidence secret from the accused being used to convict the Government will suggest is still necessary. I imagine said person saying there are always cases that cross over national security and we can't discuss EVERYTHING that is relevant to the case, even in health and safety. Like a soldier getting injured in a not--unclassified place or exercise, maybe they are claiming ACC for repetitive stress injury from operating a Drone or something. We don't want to disclose the location, or the nature of the drone operation table in the case. They will make it sound trivial or something. Realistically, someone would say, that these provisions would affect very few people and probably at worst be used against that nominally pro ISIS Maori guy who was on the Herald Front Cover when he tries to pop the Waihopai dome cover and there isn't a jury willing to basically refused to convict. No one really feels bad? Still yet, there are mounds, mounds, of scholarship and lived experiences that indicate these expansions of secrecy in the Courts are not good for freedoms, liberties, human rights and so on and completely ripe for abuse and have a chilling effect on the population that are in sum, contrary to our principles of justice and rule of law. Even if they can be effectively put into practice, the harms and weakening of trust in our court process and democratic processes I argue outweigh the gains of the legislative policy. As soon as some moderately bad things happen, these provisions will be exercised with greater strength and with more ease than we can easily expect now. The best form of legal resistance is to promote the idea that cases can only be decided on fully admitted evidence. Perhaps, some sort of confidential information can be allowed to deny you bail, but it cannot convict you, or sentence you based on that information. The Law Society themselves have indicated some attention to this issue and willingness to resist the adoption of special advocates and closed material proceedings: " “However, it should always be a measure of last resort. A closed material proceedings and special advocate regime should only be used in very limited and carefully defined circumstances.” The Law Society says that in all but the most unusual of circumstances, the Crown should be able to make its decisions and prepare its case without substantial reliance on “national security information”. " - Law Talk Issue 870 --- Given the High Courts track record with name suppression I am not sure how they may fare difficulties of keeping high profile cases secret enough to the liking of the provisions above. I had some other ideas but I will just say please inform your friends in not-excessively dramatic terms and resist this noise, no godwin is necessary
