   Comments: NZ isn't the USA, or Iraq, or Zimbabwe, or any other of the countries that try to thwart personal freedom in the name of national security. The Immigration Bill is just plain wrong and must be repealed!

   Comments: My oposition to this bill is complete. I have already sent communication to my representatives on this point so I will say no more.

   Name: Samuel David Richardson on Jul 21, 2008

   Comments: This bill is merely the first step down a very slippery slope. Limiting habeas corpus to immigrants is the first step. Further down the slope is limiting it to permanent residents. This bill makes a statement that there's no problem for a government agency to have the power to lock people away indefinitely without a fair trial. Anyone who holds that all people are created equal should be able to see that there's no difference between allowing this to happen to a foreigner and a citizen. The important thing to note here is how human beings are being treated as a result of this bill, regardless of what part of the planet they come from. I will fight against this bill as I would if the legislation proposed would affect citizens as well as immigrants.

   Comments: If you need a refresher on exactly why human rights (note: not kiwi rights) are important, then you shouldn't be in government. Read this bill and try and convince yourself otherwise; you will fail. Drop your support for this absurd and patronizing bill. Now.

    Comments: Discrimatory laws are not the answer. Was there no crime, no unemployment, no tension, before the arrival of 'immigrants' Were there no scapegoats! A country as new as New Zealand surely cannot feel that tightening borders and deporting relative new-comers is now a good idea when the legislators themselves only arrived and imposed their laws on the territory a few generations ago.

    Name: Jane-Maree Howard on Jul 22, 2008

    Comments: It's a worry... The non-transparency, 'secret evidence' provisions, and the amazing number of government bodies (any non-govt ones) allowed such non-accountable input into these procedures is likely to make the Ahmed Zaoui case conditions commonplace!

    Comments: No security concerns justify removal of basic rights such as the right to understand and test any evidence used against you in a court or tribunal.

    Comments: if you aren't an immigrant in new zealand, you probably don't have to go back too far to find someone who is... the tangata whenua haven't even been here that long.

    Comments: This bill is an atrocity and reeks of the horrid reality of the Bush lead Government forcing other countries to follow their lead in taking away peoples basic human rights. The Government does not have the right to prevent people from justice and freedom. If I want to be treated like a criminal I will go and rob a bank. I should be able to enter back into my own country with out being treated unjustly. I already refuse to enter the US for any reason due to their outrageous demands of bio security. Myself being a kiwi and my partner a Canadian we believe in social justice and we will leave NZ indefinitely if this bill comes in to effect and move to a country that is not going down the path of fascism and where democracy actually has a place.

    Comments: This may be the most poorly drafted, slipshod bill introduced to Parliament since... well, since the Electoral Finance Act anyway. It's disappointing that the Government don't take more pride in their work.

    Comments: This bill attacks basic freedoms, prevents natural justice, and violates universal human rights. It will put Aotearoa in breach of its international law obligations. It is an embarrassment to our nation. We are proud of rubbishing backward-thinking concepts. From the right wing and libertarian sect, we see Labour, National and Act supporting this Bill, because to them, a human right is only of value if there is an economic issue attached.
