We are Anonymous, and we have a message to convey to the New Zealand Government.

Over the past several months, we have observed the situation in New Zealand, regarding the Copyright Amendment Bill with growing concern. From the Department of Internal Affair's July 2009 announcement, that Internet filtering would be introduced nationwide, to the discovery in March 2010 that Internet filtering had been used without the knowledge of the New Zealand public; the gravity of the situation has become clear.
On the 24th of March, we fired our warning shots, though they went unheeded.

The Copyright Amendment Bill stands against the basic ideals Anonymous holds true.
We believe that a policy in which one is assumed to be guilty before innocent is unlawful and unjust.

We do not believe that one, when accused of copyright infringement, should be questioned by their Internet Service Provider and eligible to pay a fifteen thousand dollar fine, unless proven innocent.

We do not believe that one, when accused of copyright infringement, should be sentenced to six months suspension of internet usage, unless proven innocent.

We do not believe that one, when accused of copyright infringement, shall be called a criminal in the eyes of the government for the simple act of accessing information, unless proven innocent.

We do not believe that a government should overlook a popular vote showing that 89% of it's citizens are against the Copyright Amendment Bill.

For these reasons, on Wednesday the 27th of April at 3pm New Zealand time, we - Anonymous - will stand in support of all New Zealanders. We will stand in defence of human rights worldwide, and we will protest this attack on civil liberties.

New Zealand, you are not alone.

We are Anonymous
We are legion
We do not forgive
We do not forget
Expect us
