Meaning of terrorism
1. the unlawful use
of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians,
in the pursuit of political aims.
Peter Wakeman views that
New Zealand must not do extradition's to countries that have
the death sentence, do not follow international law, and/or
can kill people in any country without war eg. USA Drone
strikes.
Wakeman views international agreements New
Zealand makes with other countries taking our rights away.
Elections mean less unless New Zealand can pass law and
act in the interests of New Zealand.
Housing issues need
Government to provide debt free money to pay for building
and not private banks who mostly create debt as money.
Wakeman views the international agreement as not helping New
Zealand with increased food, housing and living costs.
The
Mt Albert by-election voting ends this Saturday at 7pm,
Peter Wakeman hopes for a great turn
out.
