Dear Editor I always laugh when I hear the Maori party talk about racism in New Zealand because as a non-Maori 72-year old I have lived with many racial issues. When I was at school a Maori student could be the Dux of the school but I couldn’t be
Dear Editor Yesterday’s article #metoo Has a Lot to Answer for spoke well to the hypocrisy of TVNZ in its handling of the Kamahl Santamaria episode. Aside from showing how warped TVNZ’s priority-setting is by their placement of this story at the top of the 6 o’clock
Dear Editor What a joke it is that Auckland claims to be actively working on its air pollution when all over Auckland more and bigger speed bumps are appearing everywhere and Auckland Transport claims to be out of money? I am astounded by what Auckland Transport is doing in the
Dear Editor The Reuters report of 20 May concerning the FDA’s approval of Pfizer booster doses for children exemplifies the lack of objectivity typical of mainstream media reporting on the vaccine narrative. In justifying continued Pfizer shots for children, the FDA claims that Covid cases are on the rise.
Dear Editor Politicians are inviting electricity chaos in Australia by promoting the closure of coal-fired power stations, but also promoting more electric cars – more demand, less supply. And Green energy is a wild bull in the electricity china shop. Around mid-day on most sunny days, millions of roof-top solar panels
Dear Editor We were warned that the Resource Management Act gives councils the authority to effectively strip landowners of their private property rights by designating a property as a Significant Natural Area (SNA). We were warned that the Wellington City Council’s Draft District Plan has proposals to put this
Dear Editor There is a concerted drive underway to discredit all except the MSM. TV One is running a series warning about ‘fake news’ news, with the standard ‘Guilt by Association’ process of describing a clearly deluded view (‘Green Lizards from the Planet Zog taking over the world’ type of
Dear Editor New Zealand already has Co-Governance. When Kiwis go to the polls on election day, they as individuals elect a Government. That is Co-Governance. The Treaty gave Maori Chieftainship over their own private land. It also gave them the right to sell their private land, which they did. They
Dear Editor Like many others, I’ve been considering for some time what can be done to change our political landscape. The other evening I had an idea triggered by a conversation with one of my five brothers. What about a ‘No Confidence’ Party? One of our problems is that
Dear Editor Examining Putin’s lies: 1. Putin said his army was only near the border of Ukraine for military training and that he would not invade Ukraine. 2. Then he said he was only sending in ‘peacekeepers’ to stop any conflict in Donbas – yet his army is now well
This letter was originally sent last week to the Editor of the NZ Catholic. Dear Editor I am writing to voice my concern about two cartoons run concurrently in issues 631 and 632, which appear to be addressing the anti mandate protests in Wellington, where the protesters are personified as

The article quotes Dr Leighton Watson, a mathematician as stating, “But there are 27 times as many vaccinated people in New Zealand as unvaccinated.” According to government data https://www.
Dear Editor It has been some time since I wrote the letter concerning the New Nation Party, which was published on the BFD website on Tuesday 8 March. When I originally wrote the letter, I had not heard back from anyone associated with the Party. I have now received my
Dear Editor I have read your articles in the past as they have provided me with a sense of balanced normality; however, I now find myself reading articles that seem to “rubbish” the right-wing parties. OK, both ACT and National leaders may have some failings (so do many people) but
Dear Editor I have been a long time supporter of ACT and also a strategic National voter for many years. Like many BFD readers, I am disillusioned and disgusted with both ACT and National and their leaders. Their failure even to acknowledge those who are standing up for the basic
