I CRIED TODAY....AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO YOU NZ HERALD JOURNALIST DEREK CHENG.... I cried today Hot, wet, salty tears that sprang from my eyes without warning and caught me by surprise. I have built a cage around my heart, as an act of survival, after 5 years of living a life filled with relationship with New Zealanders maimed and bereaved through the (MANDATED) Pfizer mRNA in New Zealand. Occasionally the "heart cage" withers and a flood of emotion rushes in, despite my best efforts at self protection....to allow me to continue to do this (quite literally) heart breaking advocacy work. Today was that day. After five long, relentless and seemingly futile years of trying to engage their interest....New Zealand's most widely read newspaper FINALLY published (in print and not behind a pay wall) a true story about the reality of Covid vax harm and ongoing suffering. Not a single ad hominem attack upon the injured person. Not a single, sly byline insinuating their story is misinformation, or the machinations of a half baked "cooker" anti vax conspiracy theorist (there words not mine). Journalist Derek Cheng knows who I am...he knows about the work of The Health Forum NZ. I wrote to him and told him, several weeks ago. I also sent a number of Official Information Application responses and other resources. I did not hear back from him....but something, somewhere along the way has connect with both his mind AND his heart. This is for you Derek Cheng.... For you this is just another story For us....and for the THOUSANDS of New Zealanders whose lives will never ever be the same again, as they battle to live a worthwhile life with chronic Pfizer mRNA injury.... Your decision to become the first New Zealand journalist to actually practice the art of Investigative Journalism.....to write the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth....with ZERO crushing, gaslighting ad hominem destruction heaped upon the Pfizer injured. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts May this open the flood gates. Silent No More Silenced No More NB If YOU have a child or teenager in New Zealand who was "forced" to take two Covid shots to obtain a vax pass to continue living life, or as a result of employment mandates PLEASE SEND YOUR STORY TO DEREK CHENG Let's show him that Ashley's story does NOT stand alone Email: derek.cheng@nzme.co.nz Lynda Wharton The Health Forum NZ thehealthforumnz.co.nz email: thehealthforumnz@protonmail.com April 18th 2026 IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO PUBLISH YOUR CHILD/TEEN PFIZER INJURY STORY ON OUR SOCIAL PLATFORMS - email thehealthforumnz@protonmail.com @RCR_NZ @nzdsos @nzherald @TheTributeNZ @KiwiAly @MurfittTauranga @c_plushie

@Strange_G @Wildnfree1984 Wellington City is not defined by Jacinda Ardern. Thanks for courtesy for those who didn't buy tickets.

@Wildnfree1984 It’s Wellington 😆😆🤣

This is 🤯 🤯🤯 1500 people brought tickets & lined up at the St James Theatre in Wellington tonight, to listen to Jacinda Ardern launch her book. John Ansell & a contingent stood peacefully outside with signs about Vax & 💉 injuries to be insulated by the fans 🥴 #nzpol

ACT is asking if we will support their local government members bill which would protect democratic accountability in regards to unelected members on council committees having voting rights. We do support Cameron Luxton’s bill, but there is a reason why it’s a members bill and not a government bill when Act is already sitting in government - and NZFirst are not the ones stopping it. NZFirst does not support co-governance in any form full stop. We have been consistent and vocal about fighting against co-governance. Its ironic that ACT was part of the National/ACT/Maori Party government in 2010 when they passed a law installing the Independent Maori Statutory Board in the Auckland Super City which directed unelected iwi representation to sit on the council - the Far North District Council issues of today are a direct result of that. On the bright side it’s better too late than never - we’ve always said imitation is the most sincere form of flattery and we welcome them on board - but knowing your history is better.

@grok what has @nzfirst done to oppose digital i.d?

Options. 1. Keep Luxon in place and watch Winnie become PM 2. Replace Luxon annd watch Winnie become PM.

@BrianTamakiNZ Yes, That’s Why 🇳🇿New Zealand First Is Calling For An End To Unfocussed Immigration. No More Pizza Chefs

@TheRedbaiter No objections to this in principle. It is the underlying agenda that gives me the skitters.

Asked why he's giving priority to the U16 social media ban over kids accessing porn sites, Prime Minister Luxon says he's going to get to that. (and other things) At yesterday's presser, although media asked a slew of questions on progress with the bill, not one related to how the proposed legislation might impact upon adults and their right to freedom of expression. This is clearly far from Mr Luxon's mind too and its just one more reason why I find him increasingly irritating as a political leader. Another is his constant slogans. Many of them meaningless. For example- "Kids need protection in the real world and they need it in the virtual world too". This is just the worst kind of humbug. On a par with his constant references to the Australian legislation, which has turned out to be useless and he must know this. And anyway, what is the National party doing following the lead of authoritarian left wing govts as in Australia and other parts of the globe? It should be anathema to them. It fits in with his off-putting public embrace of the extreme left Anthony Albanese, who he describes as a "good mate". Really Mr Luxon? No National leader should be good mates with a closet communist like Albanese.

@TheRedbaiter I would not disli

What a privilege it is to carry heavy grocery bags, to have laundry to do, to sleep in freshly changed sheets, and to eat your favorite meal. What a privilege it is to laugh, to love, to be cared for, and to begin again. It’s a gentle reminder that a meaningful life isn’t built only on big milestones, but on the small, often overlooked moments that quietly sustain us.

@chrisluxonmp Not without first priming the recipients. You need trust established so this falls on fertile soil. This is not how things are. Win-Win is a process, not a pronouncement.

This is a massive opportunity for New Zealand.

@chrisluxonmp Publish the full FTA so we can decide.

@AntifashKiwi @nzfirst You are right, yet it makes a difference as do the other issues by being named accurately. A reference point also for those coming after us.

@nzfirst And suddenly everyone's material conditions improved, even more so with legally defining what a woman is, something all very serious grown ups were waiting to be told by an out-of-touch old man who visibly could not care less about people.

Winston Peters: English is finally officially legislated to become an official language of New Zealand.

@nzfirst Thank you.

Only a society in an unstoppable moral and spiritual decline would arm schoolgirls with rape alarms instead of dealing with the primary problem which is the rapists.

@newstart_2024 Not a future event. We do this moment to moment. Context is everything.

Once the full AI hailstorm hits, podcasts might be the least of our problems.” Joe Rogan just nailed the unease a lot of us feel right now. He said we’re heading into an era where you won’t even know what’s real online anymore. In that fog, the only thing left that might matter is whether the person speaking to you is doing it honestly — connecting in a real, human way. He predicts we’ll move away from trusting digital content and back toward public speaking and working ideas out together in person, because that’s one of the last places where authenticity can still be verified. “We’re already in the fog,” he said. “We haven’t hit the fucking full hailstorm of bullshit that’s coming our way.” It’s a raw take on how AI is going to force us to rethink what counts as real communication. How do you think we’ll handle truth and trust once AI makes it almost impossible to tell what’s genuine online?

New Zealand — one of the world’s most respected dairy powerhouses — just became the FIRST NATION to KICK OUT Bill Gates’ fake milk labs, exactly as stated in the text overlay. Gates-backed synthetic milk facilities were developing lab-made liquids designed to replace real cow’s milk using engineered formulas grown in tanks. New Zealand took a firm stand and removed these facilities entirely, protecting its farmers, protecting its dairy identity, and defending the purity of real milk. A country built on natural, grass-fed dairy refuses to accept laboratory alternatives pushed by billionaires claiming to reinvent food. The message is clear: real milk comes from cows, not petri dishes. If the top dairy nation on Earth rejects fake milk, what does that say about the direction of the food-tech industry?

Hey kiwis. Our government & councils can only get away with co governance if we sit around & do nothing. A strongly worded letter to the local MP, or a couple of X posts mean nothing. Get together, refuse to pay the rates, & we need lawyers to step up & support the cause 👍

I have seen so many people say "Winston is all talk, but achieves nothing." So I asked Grok to do an impartial list of their achievements since the Coalition government was formed. I asked Grok not to be pro or against, but just to give me a list. I will pin this! #nzpol New Zealand First’s domestic achievements in the Coalition Government (since November 2023) represent a strong record of delivery on their coalition commitments, putting Kiwis first, restoring common sense, and reversing divisive or ineffective policies from the previous government. Through targeted legislation, repeals, funding initiatives, and practical reforms, NZ First has driven progress on law and order, regional development, economic fairness, seniors’ support, education, health, immigration integrity, and equal citizenship. These changes have delivered tangible benefits for working families, rural communities, victims of crime, and taxpayers—creating a more secure, prosperous, and united New Zealand. Below is a comprehensive, categorized list of their key achievements, drawn from official coalition outcomes in the first two-plus years. Immigration & Employment: Skills-Focused System and Work IncentivesNZ First strengthened the immigration system to prioritise genuine workforce needs while getting beneficiaries back to work, reducing exploitation risks and supporting Kiwi jobs. Improved the Accredited Employer Work Visa to attract the right skills and workers New Zealand actually needs. Ensured Immigration New Zealand applies proper risk management and verification so migrants fill genuine shortages, not displace locals. Investigated an “Essential Worker” workforce planning mechanism for long-term skill and labour shortages. Strengthened obligations on Jobseeker work-ready beneficiaries (including sanctions and potential time limits for under-25s) to encourage workforce participation. Impact: A fairer, more targeted immigration system that supports economic growth without undermining Kiwi workers or public services.2. Public Safety & Law and Order: Tougher Consequences for CrimeNZ First delivered a suite of reforms to back victims, deter offenders, and support frontline staff—restoring accountability and community safety. Introduced measures to tackle youth crime, including consideration of a Youth Justice Demerit Point system. Reformed Fleeing Driver laws to reduce dangerous incidents. Amended the Sentencing Act to prioritise victims, treat gang membership as an aggravating factor, impose real consequences for low-level crimes like shoplifting, and remove concurrent sentences for offences committed on parole, bail, or in custody. Equipped corrections officers with body cameras and protective gear. Passed Protection for First Responders and Prison Officers legislation with minimum mandatory sentences for assaults. Introduced Coward Punch legislation creating a specific offence with serious penalties. Made it easier for New Zealanders (including prisoners) to obtain driver licences through supportive programmes. Adequately resourced community policing, including Māori and Pasifika wardens. Impact: Stronger deterrence, better support for victims and frontline workers, and a clear message that crime has consequences—contributing to safer streets and communities.3. Economy, Infrastructure & Primary Sector: Regional Growth and Practical ReformsNZ First secured major infrastructure funding and repealed burdensome laws, unlocking productivity, energy security, and primary sector potential. Established a $1.2 billion Regional Infrastructure Fund and a National Infrastructure Agency. Repealed the Natural and Built Environment Act 2023 and Spatial Planning Act 2023; amended the Resource Management Act 1991 to speed up consenting for infrastructure, housing, farming, and primary industries (including renewable energy, aquaculture, forestry, and mining). Created a fast-track one-stop-shop consenting process for significant regional and national projects. Cancelled Auckland Light Rail and Let’s Get Wellington Moving; reduced cycleway spending; committed to a four-lane Brynderwyns highway alternative (with private finance exploration). Delivered fuel security measures: study into requirements, urgent review of Marsden Point Refinery reopening, railway connections to Northport, dry dock business case, transitional low-carbon fuels, natural gas exploration restart, geological hydrogen support, and mineral resource opportunities (e.g., vanadium). In the primary sector: stopped the ETS review for market certainty; incentivised low-methane mitigations; preferred wool in government buildings; reversed the live animal export ban (with welfare standards); extended marine farming permits and removed productivity barriers. Impact: Boosted regional economies, restored farmer and business confidence, enhanced energy and fuel resilience, and cut red tape—laying foundations for sustainable growth and infrastructure delivery.4. Education & Health: Back to Basics and Patient-FocusedNZ First refocused services on core outcomes, removed race-based structures, and improved access. Emphasised reading, writing, and maths in schools; refocused curriculum on academic achievement (removing ideology-driven guidelines like gender/sexuality/relationships education); shifted Fees Free to the final year of study; maintained the Apprenticeship Boost. Abolished the Māori Health Authority; updated Pharmac’s model to better include patients’ voices with annual funding increases; required Medsafe to fast-track approvals (within 30 days of two recognised overseas agencies); recognised overseas medical qualifications; advanced digital tech and Nurse Practitioners in understaffed areas. Repealed the Therapeutic Products Act 2023; funded Gumboot Friday/I Am Hope to $6 million annually; repealed and reformed smokefree/vaping laws (removed denicotinisation, retail reductions, generation ban; banned disposable vapes; increased youth penalties). Impact: Stronger literacy/numeracy foundations for kids, faster and fairer health access, and practical support for mental health and seniors’ wellbeing.5. Seniors: Protecting and Supporting Our EldersNZ First kept promises to older New Zealanders and improved aged-care options. Kept the superannuation age at 65. Amended the Building Act and resource consent rules to make granny flats/small structures (up to 60sqm) easier to build. Progressed review of the Retirement Villages Act; investigated funding for new residential care beds; undertook a select committee inquiry into aged care (including early-onset conditions and asset thresholds). Explored enhancements to the Local Government Rates Rebate Scheme for SuperGold Card holders. Impact: Greater dignity, security, and housing flexibility for seniors—recognising their contributions and needs.6. Democracy, Freedoms & Equal Citizenship: Restoring Fairness and SovereigntyNZ First ended race-based policies, protected free speech, and strengthened democratic norms. Made English an official language, requiring government departments and Crown entities to communicate primarily in English (except Māori-specific entities). Committed not to change New Zealand’s official name without a referendum; supported a binding referendum on a four-year parliamentary term. Ensured publicly funded sports bodies uphold fair (biological) competition. Protected freedom of speech by ruling out hate speech legislation. Ended all remaining COVID-19 vaccine mandates and established a full independent public inquiry into the pandemic response (lockdowns, vaccines, social/economic impacts). Removed co-governance from public services; issued a Cabinet circular prioritising services on need, not race; restored local referendums on Māori wards. Impact: A return to equal citizenship, clearer governance, and defence of democratic freedoms—rebuilding trust that government serves all Kiwis equally. These achievements reflect New Zealand First’s consistent focus on practical, people-centred outcomes. By holding the balance and negotiating firmly in the coalition, they have helped stabilise the economy, enhance security, support regions and seniors, and restore a sense of fairness and national pride. The results are already visible in repealed bureaucracy, new infrastructure funding, tougher crime measures, and a shift away from ideology toward results for everyday New Zealanders. #nzpol #NZFirst #WinstonPeters
