Stop the Stadium's latest notice to members is heavy on invective, with the organisation's new president taking the opportunity to attack the New Zealand justice system following recent defeats in the courtroom.
The organisation had two unsuccessful court hearings this year - a High Court bid in April to stop Dunedin City Council funding of the Forsyth Barr Stadium, and a Court of Appeal hearing challenging the April ruling.
The battles left it with $9740 in court costs, a decision by the courts Dave Witherow labelled as "malevolence".
"We no longer have a justice system," Mr Witherow told members.
"We have an injustice system, rotten at every level . . ."
He described the High Court hearing as a "farce", and said the Court of Appeal "simply rubber-stamped the decision of the High Court".
"The justice system is dead, and so, it seems, is normal democratic practice."
Asked if it was fair to label the whole system rotten on the back of Stop the Stadium's experiences, he said his views were not just based on those experiences.
"We will certainly be able to defend our view of the justice system," he said.
However, that issue would not be one Stop the Stadium would be concentrating on in its campaigns.
