England is the home of every New Zealander. The Empire did not make new nations. Rather, it made new states with England at their core. New Zealand is England; Australia is England; Canada is England! Through our blood and hearts, England will always live and march onward.

Things can be better than they are. Strive for more and push forward!

Scott is 100% correct on this, it's a point that is not well understood today. Those of us of British descent are here largely because our ancestors were Britain's unwanted unemployed, unskilled and underclass, not part of some patriotic ferver to colonise the world and spread...

@WillelmusDux Reflection of naming conventions at the time. This was just after NZ separated from the colony of NSW.

@Johnnydaboomer What's up with the Irish naming?

Remember your heritage...

POV: They’re all going back. @RemigrationNZ

@nz_sovereignty @RemigrationNZ Gem, keep them coming!

@winstonpeters New zealand once remigration has concluded circa 2035.

We would like to congratulate the ACT Party for realising, within just a few days of supporting the Indian FTA, that immigration is an issue that kiwis actually care about. A good effort with the policy, but unfortunately it doesn’t even touch the sides. We would encourage ACT to watch this space for when NZFirst will be announcing what a real and comprehensive immigration policy actually looks like.

@winstonpeters Remigration or nothing, no more red meat, Peters...

@NzFubar @richpianagroyp @KajensAngel @JosephMooneyMP I wonder if you'll feel the same once you're afraid and alone in a home surrounded by people who don't speak your language, nor care to know your name

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.

@JosephMooneyMP Is it so hard for you to conceive of solidarity between kin that it must be foreign interference? Despite your blabbering to the contrary, we can not be reduced to an economic zone. Our ties to Britain can not be severed, and when you abuse one of us, you abuse us all.

@actparty Not good enough...

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.”

It's going to be a Tintin-esque white boy summer

@CowsMad31877 @JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian Quit fedposting retard

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

@JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian Don't play stupid, you know the difference between a Dominion and a Colonial territory.

@ZoomerHistorian India was also part of the British empire. Are you also claiming that India is yours by birthright, you could move there tomorrow, and be completely at home and accepted the second you stepped off the plane?

@Pukeko65 @JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian How proud will you be to be a New Zealander when it gets harder and harder to actually find one in your town?

@JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian Trolls Joseph or uneducated lefties. I just ignore them

The average Nat MP, bury them forever...

@JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian Yours is the disgraceful and outdated attitude, you betray your ancestors with your weakness.

@ZoomerHistorian This is not your country mate, it’s mine and those of us who live here and fight for it every day (and have done for generations). You can take your disgraceful attitude somewhere else.

@JosephMooneyMP @ZoomerHistorian You're a gutless traitor. Rather than provide for your people through investments within the nation, you'd much prefer we sink under the sea of foreigners more than happy to work for less. We desire more out of life than working three jobs for weak men, and so you punish us!

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

@nzfirst Memes that are 15 years out of date will not distract us from the fact that you are dodging your duty to defend the demographics of our people. What good is a strong economy if its fruits are taken off shore by foreigners and big businesses? Remittance tax and remigration now.

@NZNationalParty Our children will now suffer to find basic tier 1 jobs due to overflow. You've imported scab labour to undercut wages. Your time is over. We will cheer as you dissolve and see everything you've wrought dismantled piece by piece

This is a once-in-a-generation agreement that gives NZ exporters unprecedented access to 1.4 billion people and an economy set to become the third-largest in the world. It means more jobs on farms and orchards, it means more money coming into local communities, and it means more opportunities for your family to get ahead.
