KING’S COUNSEL GARY JUDD FILES COMPLAINT OVER TIKANGA MĀORI REQUIREMENT FOR LAW STUDENTS, WINSTON PETERS AGREES
A senior King’s Counsel has filed a complaint to the Government’s Regulations Review Committee over incoming compulsory tikanga Māori studies for law students.
Gary Judd KC told the Herald he did so because up until now the curriculum for lawyers has been made up of what he described as “proper law subjects”, such as criminal law and the law of torts.
“Tikanga is a system of beliefs, a system which indicates the way the Māori people who subscribe to tikanga consider is the right way of doing things. So it is quite different,” Judd said.
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters also weighed into the debate by supporting Judd’s complaint in a statement and social media post.
“Tikanga is not law. It is cultural indoctrination,” Peters said.....

DINOSAUR REARS UP IN TIKANGA BATTLE
Senior King’s Counsel Gary Judd KC has got into a social media fight with AUT Law School dean Khylee Quince over his call for parliament to veto the introduction of tikanga as a compulsory subject for law students.
Mr Judd says new regulations starting next year will compel law students to be taught a system which does not confirm with the rule of law.
Dean Quince said Mr Judd was an old racist dinosaur making a pathetic squeal in an attempt to preserve the status quo.
Mr Judd says that was stooping to gutter level, and law students should not be force fed woke indoctrination from some culture warrior’s slanted version of what tikanga means
