Is the Peter Davis, Sociology Department, Auckland University signed to this letter aka Mr Helen Clark?

Try asking Ros Noonan, Chief Human Rights Commissioner - who described the Bill:

...as a "dramatic assault" on freedom of expression and the right to participate in an election and concluded emphatically that it breached the Bill of Rights Act 1990...
