Make no mistake, this tyrannical Labour Government has made no secret of its desire to restrict free speech in the most draconian ways possible. Just like Justin Trudeau‘s despotic regime, our own has confirmed that they will be ramming legislation through Parliament before the next election. They want to silence us.
After years of debate over whether New Zealand should have a law more explicitly banning hate speech, the Government is on the verge of announcing legislation.
That’s a “promise”, according to Justice Minister Kiri Allan, who also told TVNZ’s Q+A today that she is taking a hard look at New Zealand’s often-criticised name suppression laws.
“I will be making announcements on hate speech by the end of this year,” the MP said as she briefly addressed the issue during her first appearance on the current affairs programme since taking over the justice portfolio in June.
“I guarantee that I’ll be introducing a law that I intend to have concluded and put into law by the next election.”

So there we have it. The Government will change the law next year to criminalise more speech. Make no mistake, they are coming for us and conservatives everywhere. They want us silenced, and hate speech laws are how they will do it.
Every single country that has implemented this legislation has seen citizens having their doors kicked down by jack-booted police intent on punishing hurty words, images, jokes and satire.
If implemented, I have zero doubt that it will be used to report numerous people on the centre-right to the Police on the grounds that their views on race or gender constitute hate speech, including us, our authors and our commenters. They already try to get people banned from campuses for having non-woke views, sacked by employers, de-platformed and de-monetised. Now they will have an extra weapon with the Police.
This is why it is vitally important to stand for freedom and stand with us. We will fight for you, but we need the resources to do so. That can only come from you.
At The BFD, we tell the other side of the story…without fear or favour.
We follow the facts wherever they may lead – even if that conflicts with the official narrative of the establishment and elites.
We see that the mainstream media pretend to be impartial but increasingly they behave like political parties. They don’t admit their own political bias, and they are anything but neutral providers of the news. They are the enemy of freedom.
At The BFD we fearlessly take on that “Media Party”. We tell it like it is, and we examine the world from a different perspective – a side of the story you won’t get anywhere else.
Unlike most of our competitors, we don’t take money from any government. We depend on viewers like you to crowdfund our independent journalism and NewsDesk. It’s harder to run a media company that way. But it’s the only way to be free from editorial interference behind the scenes from controlling despotic regimes.
Our worldview is generally conservative – we believe in freedom, and judging people based on their individual merit, not the colour of their skin, their religion, their sexual orientation, or where they come from.
We fight for freedom of speech both for ourselves and for those with whom we disagree – that’s how freedom of speech works. We believe any and every idea ought to be open to criticism and debate. And we’re not afraid to champion people who have been forgotten by the establishment.
The BFD is one of the few media outlets that have the power, freedom, and reach to challenge the views presented in the mainstream media. We wouldn’t be where we are today without your support and participation.
It is now in these dangerous times that you should put your money where our mouth is. Sign up for a membership, or donate to our NewsDesk below.
The fight is going to be epic. Will you step up and help us fight?
