Well, this is something that has to be seen in a wider trend of a Government that is not giving voice to New Zealanders, is not allowing them to be heard. It's a threat to democracy generally, because all around the world we see people losing faith in politicians. We see people losing faith in the democratic process. We see fewer countries practising democracy and those that do are not practising it as well as they used to. Don't take my word for it. That's Freedom House. They're based in Washington, DC. They've been studying democracy around the world, civil liberties, and political rights—they've been studying those since 1944—and for the last 15 years around the world, the respect for and practice of democracy has been in decline.
