Legal Beagle: Terrorism is already illegal, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
These are strange days Ian, harking back to Steve's WWI post above, those bikers remind me of the legendary enthusiasm for warring a century ago:

Hard News: The Hager saga continues, in reply to Paul Campbell,
Haha, Earlier last year David Beatson couldn’t find much legislation:
Oh, and I can’t see anything at all in the CAA rules to protect the privacy of anyone on, or under, your flight path.
As long as it’s not a police drone.
The Privacy Commission says it is keeping an eye on the issue, and is applying its code for the use of CCTV footage to drones.
Here are the Privacy and CCTV: guidelines (PDF):
Under principle 3 of the Privacy Act, you need to make individuals aware that you are collecting their personal information and why. So you need to provide what is sometimes called a ‘collection notice’ or a ‘privacy notice’. A privacy notice will tell people:
• that the information is being collected;• the purpose for which the information is being collected;
• if you intend to pass the information on to others, and if so to whom;
• your name and address;
• whether the collection of the information is authorised or required under a particular law; and
•the rights of the individual to access and correct the information.
I doubt Fishface would have the courtesy to notify you, so my guess is that the courts may take quite a favorable view of badger action if it were Slater’s private drone. However, when they are conducting their news activities they are exempt from the privacy act, The Press Council, the Broadcasting Standards Authority and the courts govern the news media. End of the day Paul, if you don’t damage the equipment and the badger doesn’t damage the equipment, it sounds like good sport.

how NZ law handles people who down invasions of their privacy
Details on new UAV rules are currently being worked. On Lentino, a pilot who owns a Helicopter rental company as well as Instra Corporation which has revenue of around $20 million, one may guess that given Slater’s bent, the privacy being invaded might involve traffic accidents. when people are too vulnerable to down anything.
If none of the above, this has proved effective for generating chatter about Freed. Thank you National Radio and NBR.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Rob S,
Yes, which would really grate, her reaction there being quite understandable, her verbal response though, quite farcical:

Having spent a couple of nights exploring this, prompted primarily by your messages as asgardnz, I’ve found your research very thorough. This site is very convenient for linking from (as shown at the bottom of the page):

For those of us inclined to learn more or facing these same issues and to better counter flippant scepticism I hope you can provide more sources Grant.

NBR has a piece, with some background info on Tony Lentino.

Legal Beagle: Terrorism is already illegal, in reply to Mike O'Connell,
I was pleased David Parker brought these kinds of issues to light in the NZMSM Mike, Graeme said:
While New Zealand has not designated Islamic State (or ISIS or ISIL) as a terrorist entity, this is because it doesn’t need to.
From Wikipedia here is a selected list of designated terrorist organisations with their designating countries:
Continuity Irish Republican Army UK/ US
Irish National Liberation Army UK
Irish People’s Liberation Organisation UK
Orange Volunteers UK
Provisional Irish Republican Army UK/US
Real Irish Republican Army UK/US
Red Hand Commando UK
Red Hand Defenders UK
Ulster Defence Association UK/US
Ulster Volunteer Force UK/USOf these (some defunct), here are the relevant inclusions on the NZ police list Graeme linked to:
1.RIRA
Real IRA
RIRA Ireland
2. Continuity Irish Republican Army
Continuity IRA
CIRAKeeping that up to date would be a full time job. So basically where you say:
and if I say went to Lebanon to fight for Hezbollah
This move is as you realise, in part at least, an effort to remove our right to fight for anyone, anywhere, in any unsanctioned capacity.

Henry the radio star a hard sell
A more reputable outlet might have gone with::
“Henry the bigoted nong a hard sell”

"What I would say, with the greatest respect to those individuals, they don’t see the same information I see.”
What I would say is that if you have real information that someone in New Zealand is planning to behead someone, best get cracking on ways to ameliorating that specific threat than waffling on to us about it. At the end of the day, an amended law is simply not adhesive enough to keep my head attached to my body.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Her fury was directed at Key: ‘‘If you are the person that is charged with telling me this then that says an awful lot about the person that should be doing it, and I am utterly disgusted.’’
A spokeswoman for Key said it is his intention ‘‘should Ms Collins be cleared in the current inquiry, to recommend to the governor-general that she be granted the use of the title ‘The Honourable’ for life.’’
Just because we might end up having to say it, doesn’t mean any of us believe it Judas.
