Property rights in NZ? At about 30.

Prior to the Princess jetting off to sunnier climes again for yet another holiday on the taxpayer dime, she set property rights in New Zealand back centuries.

Here's a scale of where countries sit on property rights:

Each country is graded according to the following criteria:
  • 100—Private property is guaranteed by the government. The court system enforces contracts efficiently and quickly. The justice system punishes those who unlawfully confiscate private property. There is no corruption or expropriation.
  • 90—Private property is guaranteed by the government. The court system enforces contracts efficiently. The justice system punishes those who unlawfully confiscate private property. Corruption is nearly nonexistent, and expropriation is highly unlikely.
  • 80—Private property is guaranteed by the government. The court system enforces contracts efficiently but with some delays. Corruption is minimal, and expropriation is highly unlikely.
  • 70—Private property is guaranteed by the government. The court system is subject to delays and is lax in enforcing contracts. Corruption is possible but rare, and expropriation is unlikely.
  • 60—Enforcement of property rights is lax and subject to delays. Corruption is possible but rare, and the judiciary may be influenced by other branches of government. Expropriation is unlikely.
  • 50—The court system is inefficient and subject to delays. Corruption may be present, and the judiciary may be influenced by other branches of government. Expropriation is possible but rare.
  • 40—The court system is highly inefficient, and delays are so long that they deter the use of the court system. Corruption is present, and the judiciary is influenced by other branches of government. Expropriation is possible.
  • 30—Property ownership is weakly protected. The court system is highly inefficient. Corruption is extensive, and the judiciary is strongly influenced by other branches of government. Expropriation is possible.
  • 20—Private property is weakly protected. The court system is so inefficient and corrupt that outside settlement and arbitration is the norm. Property rights are difficult to enforce. Judicial corruption is extensive. Expropriation is common.
  • 10—Private property is rarely protected, and almost all property belongs to the state. The country is in such chaos (for example, because of ongoing war) that protection of property is almost impossible to enforce. The judiciary is so corrupt that property is not protected effectively. Expropriation is common.
  • 0—Private property is outlawed, and all property belongs to the state. People do not have the right to sue others and do not have access to the courts. Corruption is endemic.

I'd say by pandering to the Mangere mob of stirrers she has put property rights at 30 in NZ where 'expropriation is possible'.

30: 
Property ownership is weakly protected - check - the government doesn't believe in your rights as some are seen as more equal than others.
The court system is highly inefficient - check - try keeping your project on track through the courts to enforce your rights.
Corruption is extensive - check - read koha will fix anything from mythical monsters to colonisation.
The judiciary is strongly influenced by other branches of government - check - read ToW con-artists with their ever outstretched hands prevail at all levels of government and society.
Expropriation is possible - check - just ask Fletchers about where their project stands now that the rabble rousers have encamped upon their land.


Going on her previous utterances, to paraphrase

"Property rights? You'll know when you see one"

A concerned citizen writes...

Their are likely to be a fight with the Natives soon at the Bay in consequence of Honi Heki having again cut down the Flag Staff and taken away all the Blocks and ropes belonging to the same the sooner it comes to a fight the better as they have now got so saucy there are no living for them.

The Governor is such a Weather Cock that it is not safe to do anything, as the Mauries may come and destroy all one has in the Country, and still you have no redress he is again sending to Sydney for Troops and says he is determined to give them a thrashing this time I sincerely hope he will do so


Came across this excerpt in an 1845 letter from a concerned citizen

He notes that the government of the day is useless, incapable of decision, swinging this way and that whilst he opines that idle natives are not good for would be colonising settlers.  And only 5 years after Queen Vic made them all British subjects to stop such carrying on.

Fast forward 174 years, as we watch Bastion Point 2.0 unfolding, I see nothing has changed, with many idlers and fellow travellers coming to 'destroy all one has in the Country'.

Possibly the 'saucy' are still in need of a good thrashing.  They got away with Bastion Point 1.0, now a new generation of idlers is trying it on.

Reading between the goverment lines...

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says it would be inappropriate for the Government to intervene as the local iwi ... is supportive of the development

From my reading between those lines:

Nice to see this openly transparent transformative government would intervene on a property owner of a legally held property should affected parties not enjoy the the patronage of  the local stone age tribe.

Elsewhere I note these same local tribes are to receive a bribe koha in the form of a quarter of said property for nothing for their patronage of the project.

Have you noticed the new fashion trend in NZ?

Every second ad on the telly now features a hijab (or similar) wearing adherent of the religion of peace in the background hordes.

Seems NZ's Princess has started a fashion trend amongst the ad creators.

Can you feel the wokeness?
