Mark Harris - our statute law is whatever our parliament wants it to be-
"who do you think the state is? It's *us" as a collective entity."Uh, no, actually: (links coming. We have lightning storms.)
Sacha, I'm well aware of the larger range of participants in the justice system. One of my sisters was heavily involved in Restorative Justice - the only Maori thing she could ascertain was "give everyone a chance to speak, state their position, & views" which isnt paticularly Maori.

Whoa back, lawyers! But you know what I mean-

Jackie, the sister next to me had a much-loved golliwog, knitted/constructed by our mother (which is the first time I became aware our mother could plait.) She was red, black, and white & woollen - the golliwog I mean (just in case some of you are thinking I might have Mennym-like ancestry!:P) She was called by my sister "Milly-Molly-Mandy" (there's an ancient kids' book by that name I understand) and she stalwartly, blackly, redly, whitely, saw my sister through some very trying times...
