Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to reject any International Health Regulations amendments and pandemic treaty agreement reached at WHA77 or thereafter, until the findings and recommendations of the rescoped COVID-19 Royal Commission are received, and New Zealand has the opportunity for public digestion of any proposals for regulatory amendment.

Petition reason

Once upon a time Common Sense was having a discussion with Mr. Know It All. Common Sense argued that; “it is prudent, and even wise, to assess our pandemic problem utilising the power of the critical human mind to interrogate the matter with appropriate questions designed to allow one to apprehend the matter.” Mr. Know It All stated that; “The rest of the world will be reaching agreement in May 2024 and New Zealand will be left out like a leper!” Common Sense's retort; “Common sense is rare."
