Illegal Act

• It is my belief that under the pre-eminent constitutional laws that are binding on the New Zealand government today (1996), ie., Magna Carta, Common law of England, the principles and rules of equity and our nation' s founding document The Treaty of Waitangi, regulations of the Resource Management Act are not legally enforceable, neither are resource consents. Section 8 of the RMA is the coffin nail of the whole sorry mess. The governments of New Zealand have grossly abused their parliamentary powers by enacting laws that do not comply with accepted constitutional principles. Our District Council must accept that it is not an arm of central government, but a sovereign entity that owes its allegiance to the ratepayers of the Ruapehu District and this is fully supported by the above quoted laws. Local bodies must di vest themselves of regulatory duties that are rightfully the responsibility of central government and return to their role as an agency of the ratepayers, Political ambitions and empire building must be cast out in the interests of justice and equity for the ratepayertaxpayers of New Zealand.
