Take Back Your Freedom

Take Back Your Freedom

I do not want to punish local businesses like bars and restaurants who are doing it tough under this government. They are mandated to check COVID passes, so it is not their fault. I have to admit, I can’t always be bothered though. Struggling on Sunday at a café

We Did the Mahi, Where’s the Treat?

David Seymour ACT Leader New Zealanders will be asking themselves why the Government is maintaining the current COVID-19 restrictions now that 9 in 10 adults are fully-vaccinated. Jacinda Ardern promised New Zealanders fewer restrictions once we got to 90 per cent double dose. Now we’re here, but the Government

In Part 1, The BFD | Freedom’s Just Another Word for…Control I outlined our recent experience at a restaurant and being unable to dine there in the absence of a QR code passport despite having Ministry of Health documentation verifying our vaccination status. As a bit more background, the

Happy Xmas, War is Over

Walking through the Queensgate Mall in Lower Hutt on Saturday, I realised that I was the only person without a mask. I don’t mean in the shops, I mean walking the aisles. Yes, you read that right. I did not see another person without a mask walking the halls

Freedom’s Just Another Word for…Control

On the evening of day three of the new vaccine pass, we set out to host business clients at a local restaurant. Despite being double-jabbed for the purposes of travel and freedom (as we were promised) we were unable to dine there. Instead, we found ourselves on the outside looking

Time to Drop Labour’s Student Politician Fantasy

David Seymour ACT Leader Business NZ’s refusal to back Labour’s so-called Fair Pay Agreements should be a wake up call to the Government- it’s time to drop the damaging policy. Even the name Fair Pay Agreement is totally dishonest. People are forced into a contract they didn’
