I understand your point of view.
From my perspective it is clear than in 2009, a judge ruled that the NZP behaved in an ultra vires manner. When those that hold power exceed the limits of their power and are adjudged to have done so by the judiciary, whose laws are they sworn to enforce, does that not given one pause for thought?
It's by no means only one side that is capable of "trying to get around things with fancy arguments" (or in the NZP's case 10 years ago, simply just doing it anyway). Whilst I too seek continued partnership with the NZP, they do hold all the cards and in addition have limitless tax payer funds to finance any legal challenges against them.
That's not fair. Laws currently on the books (although perhaps unused), coupled with certain prevailing attitudes from their present and former associative representatives with the MSM as a convenient mouthpiece, it all seems to me to be far too convenient a state of affairs.
The Law Society's rebuttal of Richard Lincoln's application not withstanding.
