The only way I see it working is increased powers of detention for licensed Security staff. Issue is those staff will be underpaid and under trained. Pay the police appropriately and hence attract new people to the role.

And when attempts to "arrest" both of these individuals fail (with the distinct possibility of violence in attempts to do so), to whom do NZ'ers think the pent up anger, hate, frustration, and violence of this cult will be directed towards, if the Justice Minister's proposals are realised in law?

Imagine thinking that tyrants voluntarily give up their power.

I've been reading the crimes act, looking forward to the bit in there that will let me arrest anyone out in public with a cough and not wearing a mask

It's absolutely stochastic terrorism.
Part of me wonders if he's escalating so he can claim religious persecution when the inevitable backlash kicks him in the arse.

Some responses: "Arrest them, they should be boiled in oil." "And bring back hanging" "High treason deserves the death panelty for all the lives lost because of jab" "face a military court, at Gitmo, for treason" "dogs" "monsters" "mongrels" "demons" Evil" "Let's go get them" "a manup po po patrol"

Treason and military courts really highlights their lack of education, understanding, logical thinking or ability to research basic principles

They're just regurgitating the US rubbish, with no idea what it means. Send them to Gitmo? Seriously? Dumbarses.

I really do wonder how long before this applies in AoNZ 😞
