From the perspective of the most crisis-ridden prime minister in our history, surrounded by a party of idiots who will resist any meaningful reversal of immigration and climate policies, Europe might offer him a way out.
Cultivating a culture of courage, a willingness to hear one another’s ideas, can throw a wrench into the whole censorious groupthink machine.
Figures from the International Visitor Survey show international tourism contributed $12.2 billion to the economy in the year ending March 2025, up 9.2 per cent on the previous year.
This is not only intellectually dishonest – it is corrosive to New Zealand’s diverse and democratic fabric. We call on New Zealanders – especially those in leadership positions – to reject such partial narratives and demand a discourse grounded in facts, integrity, and universal human rights.
The judiciary must be protected from improper influence. This arises through the separation of judicial power and maintenance of judicial independence. But how does that work if the A-G not only appoints new judges, but also holds six ministerial portfolios, creating a swathe of legislation?
This isn’t about hate. It’s about honesty. And if the only way these programmes can survive is by pretending there’s no criticism, lying about protest threats, and dismissing concerned parents as “bigots”, then maybe it’s time they were pulled out of schools altogether.
The agribusiness elite have had their say loudly with this report (which is subtitled “Turning talk into tasks”). It’s time for the rest of New Zealand and our political leaders to assert the public interest.
About time these truths are acknowledged in a public, authoritative manner. Masks don’t work. Lockdowns don’t work. Fauci lied and helped cover up damning evidence.
What Carney offers is the illusion of movement. What Canada needs is a reckoning. Until we face it, nothing will change – except the world around us.
Like the good lackeys they are, media outlets are beating up the BREAKING new variant story, to which the general public response has been LMAO.
Maybe, just maybe, we can turn June into a month that celebrates everyone under one flag.
If Jacinda Ardern writes another memoir, a more appropriate title might be “The Authoritarian: How I Left New Zealand Divided and in a Mess.”
At last we have a government that appears intent on dealing with the factors that have caused house prices to rise much faster than incomes over decades.
A recent fracas involving a government minister at a music event simply shows that an artist is allowed to provoke, but cannot be provoked.
Like Ardern, the WHO must be revered as the single source of truth for the whole world. Other countries should join the US to shift the focus to chronic diseases. This will better serve the needs of people instead of aiding and abetting the pharmaceutical industry’s goal of profit maximisation.
