@aniobrien @kaiviti_cam I personally think you should be able to use what ever insults you want. Her crime was hypocrisy, not homophobia.

Over the past few weeks NZers have been told it’s apparently fine for the political editor of our state broadcaster to call a gay man a “faggot” because it happened a year ago & discussing it is supposedly “political”. Now we learn a recent former Labour staffer was behind a TikTok account using homophobia as a punchline. At what point are we allowed to acknowledge that homophobia comes from the left & the right? Either slurs & anti-gay abuse are bad, or they aren't. The selective outrage is tiresome.

Look at these flags flying outside NZ Parliament today! These are the five flags for IDAHOBIT Day - International Day Against (supposedly) Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia. IDAHOBIT Day is 17 May, so are these flags going to be flying for 4 or 5 days just to mark ONE day? I'm guessing that Pink Shirt Day probably comes into it as well, because there can never be enough virtue-signalling. What the actual heck does Parliament fly these flags for? I was told that they probably weren't going to be flown again this year. Bear in mind that the Speaker has refused permission to fly the Women's Suffrage flag on 19th Sept each year to commemorate NZ being the first self-governing country in the world where women achieved the right to vote (for the inevitable bitter blokes who hate that women can vote - get a life). Why is the Speaker okay about these done-nothing-special flags flying, whilst refusing one which represents an actual world-first achievement? These TQ+ flags should be nowhere near government buildings. All they represent is an ideology.

@aniobrien @Obstrepero21153 I would imagine if we naturally let population decline happen and housing got a lot cheaper people would be inclined to have more children

My 5 year old boy does football training. At the end of the session they do a ‘man of the match’ type thing. My boy is always desperate to win it. He often doesn’t. I explained to him the other day that he didn’t win simply because he wasn’t good enough. That he deffo could win, but he just needs to be better, try harder, be more focused etc. One of the other mums heard me & was aghast at what I said. She told me she is going to get ‘runner-up stickers’ for all the kids who don’t make it. I said no thanks, not for my son. Kids need to learn that they can be the best, but they must apply themselves & dust themselves off when it doesn’t go their way. No consolation prizes, no ‘everyone’s a winner’ etc. There are winners & losers. Wanna win - do your best. Can’t make it? Don’t worry, go & smash something else. Play to your strengths & never, ever play the victim. If more parents & institutions had this attitude, the country would be in a better place - if I say so myself 😉 Cc @KonstantinKisin x.com/KonstantinKisi…

@AkkadSecretary I was in Kosovo during conflict when it got up to 45 degrees. If you had a glass of water you would immediately sweat it out. With hot tea it would stay in your system longer to hydrate you. I found it weird too. Cold water and you instantly start dripping like a tap.

@realitymayhurt @NZMAGAMike I’ve got nothing against this if it’s on a specific Māori orientated course. It’s just got zero benefits for what I’m trying to learn. Even worked with a couple of Maori guys and they were nothing like how the course suggested I should treat them. Good guys.

@AverageDad40 @NZMAGAMike I agree it's just silly. If you're a Māori business owner, go ahead. No-one else should have to take part in Māori tikanga unless they're on a marae. Employees can buy their own lunch!

Who in their right mind thinks a compulsory course in Māori spirituality is relevant to every single degree? I’m talking to you, Auckland University. What do Māori gods have to do with a law degree? Absolutely nothing. But guess what? If you don’t chant along to their spiritual hymn book, you’re not getting that diploma. That’s right—your future, your career, held hostage by the “spirituality police.” This isn’t progress; it’s a return to the Dark Ages, where superstition trumps science, and critical thinking is drowned out by the sound of drum circles.
The CAUCASIAN CAUCUS@NZPakehaParty

Muplihati Muplihati ●Auckland University’s Indoctrination Scam: Who’s Buying This Garbage? Alright, let’s cut the crap. Auckland University has officially lost the plot. Their mandatory Māori spirituality course is nothing but state-sanctioned brainwashing, and if you’re too scared to say that out loud, congrats—you’ve already swallowed the Kool-Aid. Hinemoa Elder, Tracey McIntosh, Dawn Freshwater, Margaret Mutu, and Te Kawehau Hoskins might want to believe they’re cultural pioneers, but let’s call them what they really are: peddlers of woke nonsense masquerading as academics. This isn’t about education anymore; this is about turning universities into ideological echo chambers where dissent isn’t tolerated—it’s eradicated. Who in their right mind thinks a compulsory course in Māori spirituality is relevant to every single degree? I’m talking to you, Auckland University. What do Māori gods have to do with a law degree? Absolutely nothing. But guess what? If you don’t chant along to their spiritual hymn book, you’re not getting that diploma. That’s right—your future, your career, held hostage by the “spirituality police.” This isn’t progress; it’s a return to the Dark Ages, where superstition trumps science, and critical thinking is drowned out by the sound of drum circles. You can thank Hinemoa Elder, Tracey McIntosh, Dawn Freshwater, Margaret Mutu, and Te Kawehau Hoskins for this absolute dumpster fire. These individuals are leading the charge in turning universities into temples of indoctrination. They want you to believe that studying Māori mythology will somehow make you a better engineer, doctor, or business professional. Spoiler alert: it won’t. What it will do is waste your time, insult your intelligence, and make you question why the hell you ever enrolled in the first place. And let’s be real here—this isn’t about preserving culture or honoring tradition. It’s about power. It’s about control. Elder, McIntosh, Freshwater, Mutu, and Hoskins are using Māori spirituality as a weapon to silence anyone who dares to question their agenda. Don’t like the course? You’re “culturally insensitive.” Think it’s irrelevant? You’re “racist.” It’s a brilliant tactic, really—if you disagree with them, you’re automatically the bad guy. Welcome to 1984, folks, where free speech goes to die and woke doctrine rules supreme. Let’s talk about the students who are forced to endure this nonsense. These are the future doctors, lawyers, engineers—the people who will actually keep the country running. And instead of equipping them with the skills they need to succeed, Auckland University is force-feeding them spirituality that belongs in Sunday school, not a university classroom. This isn’t education—it’s a joke, and the punchline is that you’re paying for it with your tuition money. It’s time for Elder, McIntosh, Freshwater, Mutu, and Hoskins to step down. They’ve hijacked the university’s curriculum, turned it into a platform for their woke crusade, and are holding students’ futures hostage in the process. If Auckland University had any shred of integrity left, they’d fire these individuals and put an end to this embarrassing farce. But integrity, much like common sense, seems to be in short supply these days. Here’s the bottom line: this course needs to be obliterated. It’s a relic of a misguided, woke agenda that has no place in a modern, secular education system. If Elder, McIntosh, Freshwater, Mutu, and Hoskins want to preach, let them do it on their own time, not on the university’s dime. The students of New Zealand deserve better. They deserve an education, not an indoctrination. And it’s about damn time someone said it.

@realitymayhurt @NZMAGAMike Google how many cultural Māori restaurants there are. So few I would never work in one anyway. Why didn’t they just have a case study on a plumbing store or something. It’s all just rubbish around providing Kai to make Māori employees comfortable

Calling someone a homophobic slur allegedly in retaliation, is clearly not “banter.” If TVNZ and the press gallery executive had handled the situation better, Maiki Sherman might well still have her job. Trying to downplay unacceptable behaviour is not a great look.

They are not stitching Roles that were once played by white people now being played by Melanated people for nothing. The beautiful truth but ugly for you who are upset by this is because in the real beginning that your Bibles left out, was that it was always Melanated people ruled everything before we.......you. All of your great superheroes and King/Queens you have come to love in movie and beyond that are all Melanated people. Kingship passed down from the 1 light to us and then we shared it with everyone who evolved out of us. More changes like this movie is coming and beyond this. Dont be mad just open your eyes Melanated people never lied to you, your own people did.

$2,467 A WEEK — ABOUT $128,000 A YEAR That is the estimated taxpayer-funded support for one single mother with 13 dependent children, before any extra hardship, disability, childcare, food, school, emergency housing, or one-off assistance. Core estimate: • Sole Parent Support: $521.52 • Family Tax Credit: $152 for eldest child • Family Tax Credit: 12 x $124 = $1,488 • Accommodation Supplement: up to $305 Total: $521.52 + $152 + $1,488 + $305 = $2,466.52 per week That is about $128,000 per year. Punchline: At 13 children, the welfare system is no longer a safety net. It is a full-time taxpayer-funded income. stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360975…
