Ignore the Electoral Act - the Breach is the Oaths and Declarations Act 1957 No88

It looks like Winnie and his mob are trying to hide behind the 6 month deadline for bringing actions under the Electoral Act.

Incidentally, that deadline is still open for their 2007 return - the2007 Return they have helpfully brought to everyone's attention was false.

These Returns are submitted with an appropriately filled out Statutory Declaration. Statutory Declarations are governed by the Oaths and Declarations Act 1957 No88.

Wherein:
Unlawful administration of oaths
  • (1) No person shall administer, or cause or allow to be administered, or cause or allow to be received, any oath, affidavit, or affirmation relating to any matter or thing in respect of which that person has not jurisdiction or cognisance by some law in force for the time being.

    (2) Every person who wilfully acts in contravention of subsection (1) of this section commits an offence, and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $100.

Note ss. 2 of the Act - this is where the SFO, or the Police could prosecute NZ First and the signatories. They are not out of the woods by any means. This action could proceed outside the Electroral Act.

In Australia to lie on a Stat Dec is treated as perjury - I am not sure if that is the case in New Zealand. It is certainly an offence as outlined in the Act.

Who gives a fuck -


winston, Henry and all the rest (hopefully even Peter Williams)

have admitted that they are guilt of a corrupt of which the penalty is five years inside

the real question isn't about Winston any more:
it's whether Helen should be joining him -


OK - that's not a question either, is it


jail the lot of them!
