Educated in India and Canada, Ramesh Thakur has had an amazing career as an academic, lawyer and government adviser.
He has taught in universities in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Singapore.
He offers broad commentary on judicial “adventurism" and growing tyranny, India, Pakistan, China, the U.N. and W.H.O..
His advice on global affairs would unquestionably aid the NZ Government in some of their misguided ideas.
We share a medical professional’s submission to the second Covid Inquiry, and we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
