The Herald reports:
The Supreme Court has ruled the majority of the Court of Appeal “erred” in a major decision that ultimately eased the test for Māori to gain customary rights for use of the foreshore and seabed.
Its just-issued ruling allows an appeal by the Attorney-General against the Court of Appeal’s decision last October, at a time the Government is pushing through contentious legislation to overturn it.
The Court of Appeal decision was appallingly bad, and was clearly going against the clear intent of Parliament. That is why Parliament moved to overturn it. It is good to see the Supreme Court, also overturn it (even if I am suspicious of their motives and speed).
The usual suspects have all called the Government racist etc for the law change to make sure the original intent stands. Now that the Supreme Court has done likewise, will they also be calling the Supreme Court racist?
The post So will they call the Supreme Court racist names now? first appeared on Kiwiblog.
