@JosephMooneyMP Dude most of the replies are born and bred new zealanders stop coping

An extraordinary - and blatant - foreign influence campaign to interfere with New Zealand politics using social media as a vector - this account with over 122,000 followers (describing himself as being based in England), began a sustained attack less than an hour after I published a post calling out the nonsense being stirred up about our FTA with India.

@actparty this is pathetic, not good enough

ACT’s immigration policy restores the basic bargain that New Zealand was built on. People are welcome here if they contribute, respect our democratic values, and help build the country.

@actparty We need remigration and until then we aren’t voting

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 ACT is announcing new policy to make immigration work for New Zealand. One that welcomes people, but only if they share values of tolerance, freedom and democracy, help build infrastructure, and play by the rules. “New Zealand is a settler society. From those who arrived in open boats 700 years ago, to those who arrived at Auckland Airport this morning, our country has been built by people willing to make a journey to try and build something better,” says ACT Leader David Seymour. “Immigration has enriched New Zealand. In less than 200 years, New Zealand has gone from a series of isolated villages, to a network of modern cities connected by road, rail, air, and sea, with electricity, the internet, and the three waters. “Each wave of settlement has also built the Kiwi character that is respected around the world. Kiwis are recognised in everything from business to sport to peacekeeping as resourceful and thoughtful, firm but fair people who keep their word and can fix anything. “Today, Kiwis who are proud of our settler heritage are asking themselves why something doesn’t quite feel right with immigration. ACT believes their suspicions are correct. “Successive governments have let a skilled-migration system become a general-purpose labour tap. They have failed to enforce the rules they set. They have allowed infrastructure to fall further behind. And they have asked too little of people who want to benefit from the Kiwi character without supporting it. “The rate of settlement has overwhelmed the ability to provide infrastructure. Dunedin took 180 years to build, but we add the population of Dunedin in a couple of years while we struggle to build a hospital in Dunedin itself. “We are told that the immigration system is a strict one focused on delivering the right skills to New Zealand. On paper we do have a strict system, but even those who want to believe that cannot see it. Too often they shake their heads and ask, if we have a system targeting skilled migrants, how did a guy who can’t even find an address on GPS get here? “We recognise there are different issues in urban centres compared to rural New Zealand, where populations are lower and it’s a lot harder to find people willing to get up first thing in the morning and do a hard day’s work on the farm. “ACT’s policy restores the basic bargain that New Zealand was built on. People are welcome here if they contribute, respect our democratic values, and help build the country.” ACT’s six-point plan is: 1.⁠ ⁠Deport serious offenders ACT will ensure Resident Visa holders convicted of offences carrying sentences of 10 years or more can be deported no matter how long they’ve been here. This goes further than the Government’s current proposal to extend liability to 20 years. 2.⁠ ⁠Skilled visas for skilled jobs Accredited Employer Work Visas are meant to fill crucial skills gaps, but too often the gaps close and the categories remain wide open. ACT will have each skill category automatically expire every year. To remain open, they would need to show up-to-date evidence of demand. 3.⁠ ⁠Opportunity, not dependency ACT will introduce a five-year welfare stand-down for all residence class visa holders. That means no jobseeker support, accommodation supplement, or income-tested benefits for a migrant’s first five years here. 4.⁠ ⁠A fair contribution for infrastructure ACT will introduce a $6 per day infrastructure surcharge on temporary work visas, on top of existing charges. This ensures migrants contribute to New Zealand’s infrastructure from day one, before they start paying tax. The fee is expected to raise around $80 million a year, while remaining more affordable than comparable visas in Australia and the United Kingdom. 5.⁠ ⁠Stronger English language requirements ACT will extend basic English language requirements to all AEWV types. Lower standards will still be permitted for seasonal workers. 6.⁠ ⁠Enforce the rules There are 20,980 known overstayers in New Zealand right now. ACT will establish a dedicated overstayer enforcement unit within Immigration New Zealand. Platform employers such as Uber and DoorDash will be required to verify and report work rights. Employers who facilitate overstaying will lose their accreditation. Mr Seymour says the policy is designed to rebuild confidence in immigration by restoring fairness and accountability. “People are rightly cynical about politicians promising to slash migration numbers. In 2017, Labour campaigned on reducing net migration by 30,000. NZ First campaigned on reducing net migration to 10,000. The rest is history. “The two parties formed a Government, and after two years of their Government net migration had risen to 80,000. If it wasn’t for COVID closing the borders, they would have held the record for migration under one Government. “We need an immigration system that recognises New Zealand’s heritage as a nation of settlers. We need new migrants to grow and develop, but that migration must work for New Zealand. “Success requires a common set of expectations; respect our freedoms, uphold our democratic values, contribute to infrastructure, speak English, obey the law, and fill genuine gaps in the economy.”

@JosephMooneyMP @real_lord_miles @ZoomerHistorian Dude we know you live in Southland paradise but we live in Auckland with thirdworlders ):

I’m conscious of the aphorism that arguing with a fool makes two, but this was literally the view I had of the “terrible decline” of New Zealand when I stepped outdoors yesterday. I don’t know about England (I’m guessing that’s your piece of paradise), but I’ll take my homeland any day.

An MP in New Zealand dismissing concerns about the replacement and genocide of White people in New Zealand as ‘European social media angst’ Vermin

Every problem in western society is instantly solved by 1) executing violent criminals 2) repatriating foreigners If “democracy” stands in the way, then I don’t want democracy. If “diversity“ is offended, then I don’t want diversity. Somebody press the easy switch already.

@JosephMooneyMP New Zealand is mine by birthright. I could move there tomorrow like my great grandparents did and be completely at home and accepted the second I stepped off the plane. New Zealand is an outpost of British civilisation and I am British.

@JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian .

@ZoomerHistorian There is no “replacement and genocide of white people in New Zealand” mate. Grow up

@JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian Easy for you to say in Southland lol

@JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian Fuck you traitor

Just a regular reminder that Sir Oswald Mosley wasn’t the bad person he was painted out to be. Most normal people have these views, in all honesty. We just want to be left alone whilst not exploiting others in foreign nations. Pretty normal ideology tbh.

The goal is to opt out of the “forced swim test” altogether, not to swim the longest. A non-fearful rat on HRT and premium chow won’t evolve as long as it exists in a cage. Evolution depends on environment, not lab results. Until you understand this you will remain a Sissyphus.

@binoffishery NZF won’t do anything we need remigration

Keep seeing "nzf voters rabbid' Of course we are. We are facing an invasion of indians like we have never seen before in nz. We can see whats happend to the u.k,canada aus and dont want to follow their path. Tbh why aren't you rabbid

@Seabvb Stop talking like an american african it’s disgusting

fuck niggas aint on no smoke both made assumptions, one blocked me. enjoy the cognitive dissonance retard

@Seabvb @Jamesrs2025 My British ancestors built this country from the mud and sticks and died in multiple wars for our nation and third worlders like you have the gaul to speak to us like this. Be quiet pest.

@Jamesrs2025 your nationalism is not based on the world today it is based on who your ancestors are correct?? Their efforts have absolutely zero representation in the world today other than the armed forces and anzac ceremonies dude

New Zealand didn't exist until White people created it.

The cost of avoiding structure is that every day has to be renegotiated from scratch.

@Choco_Cat777 @An_Misanthrope @UpdatingOnRome The church used to be unified, the first millennia there was only one Church. And from our perspective we are not intertwined, you guys think our sacraments are valid though. And what do you mean philosophy from the Son, laws from the Father? Everything is triune.

@MrAttoway @An_Misanthrope @UpdatingOnRome So if Rome comes from Greek, wouldn't a combination result in a more unified Church? They philosophy from the Son and the Laws from the Father? That's how I typically see some form of Catholicism. I understand our Churches are intertwined and miracles do happen in both.

Help.

@Jamesrs2025 @EerykMcRae @TheZeitgeistNZ @ZogRespecter @antipodean_man Do you want to have an X space debate one day about Roman Catholicism, can do in a couple weeks. It’d be civil I’m a christian too but am not RC.

@EerykMcRae @TheZeitgeistNZ @ZogRespecter @antipodean_man I've been on the scene for years bro... Yes, Catholics are subhuman. Because Catholicism is the ultimate truth, so you will become more properly human and aligned with God the more Catholic you become.

William is second only to National in terms of spreading "bulldust" online about the Indian FTA. I find it baffling he can acknowledge the need for remigration whilst running defence for National and attacking the only party in Parliament not in support of mass immigration.

The highest authority is ecumenical councils which is a universal council of bishops yup. Rome also lies on Greek philosophy, but more Aristotelean. In some sense Rome is more greek in their focus on statuary compared to the Hebrew rooted Iconography of Orthodoxy. But yes also we are less “legalistic”.

@MrAttoway @An_Misanthrope @UpdatingOnRome I just googled it, what I'm understanding is that the Orthodox primary operates from a council of Bishops with a primary focus on philosophy stemming from Greeks rather than the Legal construct from Rome like what Catholics falls as. Is that correct?
