This is beyond stupid. A lot of practical questions were not answered in the article…

- What is the date of birth and gender of this "legal person"?

- Is it a New Zealand citizen?

- How will the river enroll to vote? How will the river pay it's fines when it fails to vote?

- What will happen when the river breaks its banks and destroys property, and someone sues it for damages? Will it be in contempt of court for not showing up to appearances?

- If New Zealand enters a major war, can the river be drafted for military service? How do you fine or imprison a river for draft dodging?

- Where the river releases it's fluids at the beach, is it engaging in public urination?

- If a policeman issues it with a lawful order, and it fails to comply, can it be arrested?
