Last Straw

No Right Turn on the NZ National/ACT government’s oppos­i­tion to a new bill that would make it a national crim­inal offence for any New Zea­l­and polit­ical leader to “plan, pre­pare, ini­ti­ate or execute an act of aggres­sion” in viol­a­tion of the UN Charter.

… when Wayne Mapp says he doesn’t want our for­eign policy to be sub­ject to a UN veto, what he is really say­ing is that he wants to wage war in con­tra­ven­tion of inter­na­tional law and the UN charter — in other words, he wants us to be a rogue nation, just like the US…

Which seems to me to be a per­fect example of why we must pass the bill.
