and so the saga continues I previously blogged on how the Electoral Commission referred Te Pati Maori to the Police for not filing their annual financials statements by 30 June 2024, as required by law.
Their party secretary is Lance Norman (a manager in one of the Tamihere organisations) and I wonder if he realises the personal risk he is at.
S210J(2) of the Electoral Act says:
A party secretary is guilty of a corrupt practice if the party secretary, without reasonable excuse,(a) provides the Electoral Commission with annual financial statements for the party after the late period; or
(b) fails to provide the Electoral Commission with annual financial statements for the party.
The late period is 15 working days from the deadline, so 21 July 2024, which we are three months past. So Mr Norman could be charged with a corrupt practice, not just an illegal practice.
And what is the penalty?
either or both a term of imprisonment not exceeding 2 years or a fine not exceeding $100,000
The fine might not be a concern as he could be reimbursed for that, but if I was Mr Norman I’d be very worried about the possibility of jail time, unless he has a reasonable excuse for not providing the party’s financial statements as required by law.

TPM taking over from the gangrenes as the gift that keeps giving...
MP calls submitter “fucking racist”
The Herald reports:
Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris is under fire after he was heard saying “f***ing racist” following a submission at a parliamentary select committee on amendments to foreshore and seabed legislation.
Act says it has raised the remarks with the Speaker as a matter of privilege. The privileges committee is already considering whether Ferris misled the House with comments he made last month.
This goes beyond rudeness. Select Committees are about allowing members of the public to have their say on proposed laws. To have an MP verbally abuse submitters like this is disgraceful.

As he obviously has zero understanding of what the word racist means we can write him off to just being a useful but stupid parrot.
Also worthy of note is he has grown up with more things in his favour and being able to access than a non-maori of the same age.

One hopes with the hikoi underway.That the minister of social development is cutting the benefit of those who should be actively seeking work.Facial recognition cameras would be handy.
