@MM Nov2 11.24am:

“As new New Zealand citizens are not currently required to swear any such thing, I am not sure why this might be a problem.
But perhaps all New Zealand adults should take such an oath to support democratic beliefs. Might be a problem for our resident national socialist, though.”

The New Zealand Oath of Allegiance: Oaths and Declarations Act 1957
Internal Affairs Citizenship Ceremony
Ceremonies
Legal Requirement:
Section 11:
Applicants who are approved for the grant of citizenship must attend a public citizenship ceremony and take the Oath of Affirmation of Allegiance to become a citizen, unless the Minister agrees otherwise.
Regulation 7 (3):
Applicants must take the Oath or Affirmation within 1 year of the date of being advised by the Department ( Internal Affairs ) that their application has been approved…(abridged)

New Zealand’s Oath of Allegiance”

“I, [name], swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.”

In Maori:

“Ko ahau, ko [name] e oati ana ka noho pūmau taku pono ki a Kuini Irihāpeti te Tuarua me tōna kāhui whakaheke, e ai ki te ture. Ko te Atua nei hoki taku pou.”

That’s right, Kevin – the Australian oath under discussion is much more sweeping.

When Obama signs into law the new two-year budget deal Monday, his action will bring into sharper focus a part of his legacy that he doesn’t like to talk about: He is the $20 trillion man.
