We are familiar with the saying, "If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear."
That sounds okay until the Government decides to change the law ... and backdates it.
And, it does this under urgency and, you, the people, have had no real say in the matter.
We now have two Acts of Parliament that were passed in this way in the past 18 months.
One was the amended GCSB which was passed to legalise the Government's illegal acts against Mr Dotcom and the armed raid on the Tuhoe of Urewera.
