The Voters Deliver a Wake-up Call
The time for complacency is over. And this should be a wake-up call for the coalition: they should see the referendum result as their failure to rid the country of the influence of He Puapua.

To Reinstate Democracy in New Zealand
If democracy in New Zealand is to endure, these race-based structures must be dismantled by the coalition. It’s time to draw the line and take our country back.
They Are Losing Our Trust
The coalition has a lot on its hands, but it is in danger of throwing away the next election because it is losing the respect and trust of voters. ACT and New Zealand First are raising legitimate concerns about the coalition’s direction. National needs to listen and learn, before it’s too late.
Door Opens for Tribal River Claims
Putting the nation at risk to prop up a dangerous and highly destabilising law that was promoted by a party that is now openly advancing anarchy no longer makes sense.
We Must Dismantle This Separatism
Will National and Prime Minister Luxon step up to this challenge? If they don’t, their coalition partners will.
This Is a Critical Decision
Let’s not underestimate the significance of the 42 council referendums (see below for the full list of councils).
The Anatomy of Welfare Dependency in NZ
All government social service contracts for the able-bodied should not only be tied to measurable outcomes that reduce state dependency, but lucrative race-based funding streams must be eliminated as well.
To Reverse the Cultural Takeover of NZ
It is now time for New Zealand to mobilise – and take back control of local government.
The State of Local Government
The coalition cannot ignore this state of affairs. They not only need to include in their reforms legislative provisions to remove advisory groups from councils, but they actually need to get on with the job.
It Is a Question of Sovereignty
Since one parliament cannot bind another, the coalition needs to realise it no longer has to prop up a dangerous and highly destabilising law that was promoted by a party that is now openly advancing anarchy.
Time for a Stocktake
Let’s hope that in 18 months’ time the coalition has succeeded in growing the economy, generating jobs, and raising living standards, and also successfully instigated what we voted for at the last election: equality under the law in a colourblind society.
Budget 2025
Frank Newman, an investment analyst and former local body councillor, has examined the budget from a business perspective and raises concerns about the flagship ‘Investment Boost’ policy.
Good Policy Requires Courage
Where is the party with the courage to set New Zealand on the path to a better future – one where the good of New Zealanders is put first, and where there’s no kowtowing to vested interest groups demanding special privileges.
We Need to Transform the Education System
The weaponised ‘Te Tiriti’ provisions in New Zealand legislation are dangerous and should be purged, starting with education.
They Are Radicalising Our Parliament
Will the coalition accelerate the tribal takeover of our country by agreeing to introduce tikanga into parliament, or will they honour their election pledge to voters and reject it?
