What Exactly Will the Regulator's Draconian Powers Replace?Well of course free speech - the right to speak your mind - will be off the table. In other words, the ordinary process of discourse will be muted by the fear of arbitrary punishment. This will supersede the NZ Bill of Rights, which was designed to guarantee our freedom of thought, conscience, expression, and religion. The proposals will compromise the right to remain innocent until proven guilty. In other words, a person we have never met in a remote bureaucratic office can pronounce us guilty and silence us, regardless of circumstances and truth. It will be the rule of little minds.
