No reassuranc­e

- DENNIS CATCHPOLE

I was so pleased to read June Bright’s letter reassuring us that we can trust the Government over abortion, and euthanasia, and legalising drugs.

I feel so much better. Yeah right.

First of all, we do not have a legitimate government.

We have a government elected by one-man, Winston Peters, and that says it all. Who, based on his record, would trust him?

What happened to democracy?

If we look at overseas experience on all these issues, we will find that despite the so-called safeguards they are abused.

The fact is that man is not to be trusted with power over anyone’s life.

We have major problems in this country, called New Zealand by the way, not Aotearoa New Zealand.

I don’t remember us having a referendum changing our country’s name.

Suicide is already a major concern, we don’t need to make it legal.

Drugs are already a major concern, we don’t need to make it legal as well.

New Zealand has become a secular society and many in our society have no moral compass.

We live in a beautiful country, with most of our people being decent people, but we really do need to push back this leftist movement, who are determined to pursue social engineerin­g to our detriment.

Congratula­tions Barbara Linton for speaking out.
