Mothers who support ALCP are unreliable parents judge says


The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party have formerly laid a complaint
with the Solicitor General regarding the unlawful conduct of Judge David
Burns.

Burns claimed that "If Ms X attends and supports the Legalise Cannabis
Party the likely influence is that she supports consumption of that
substance."

ALCP remind the court that no unlawful activity is undertaken or
condoned by the party. His allergations are highly defamatory against
the defendant and the party.

"That is in direct contradiction to her obligations as a parent because
it affects her reliability as a mother," David Burns said.

This judge is unlawfully intervening in the democratic process by
stating that any mother that supports the ALCP is an unfit parent.

Supporting the ALCP is absolutelly no justification for criminal
charges. This ruling could prevent thousands of mothers from supporting
an entirely legal political party.
