A Lesson On Freedom Of Association From New Zealand
Yesterday, Sir Roger Douglas had a speech about the Education Amendment Bill in the New Zealand Parliament. He greatly argued that in a free society an individual is free of association on all levels, including military service, labour unions or compulsory education.
The goal of a free society is to minimize violence, that’s why all forced associations must be abolished or at least very limited regardless how glorious their usefulness sounds.
By the way I’ve been quite surprised by huge money waste in this student associations on public universities, especially when New Zealand is ranked by Transparency International on the second best place in corruption and transparency level in the world.
He got it right
“They stole students money … They stole your money”
I cannot imagine how huge amounts are being wasted in different countries. I wish there were more politicians like Sir Roger Douglas.
