Submit!

The Transport and Industrial Relations has called for submissions on the Vehicle Confiscation and Seizure Bill and the Land Transport (Enforcement Powers) Amendment Bill. Two copies for each bill, by Friday, 3 July 2009, to:

Transport and Industrial Relations Secretariat
Parliament Buildings
Wellington

These bills are absolutely draconian. They punish the innocent, impose punishment without trial, undermine the rights of the accused, and generally trample all over the BORA so the Minister can grandstand about how "tough" she is. Even if you are not a boy racer and hate the obnoxious little creeps, you should care about this. So speak up, and protect your human rights from a draconian and authoritarian government!

Making a submission is as easy as writing a letter saying that you support or oppose the bill and stating the reasons why. If you need help, the Office of the Clerk has a handy guide here [PDF].
