Councils are Ceding Sovereignty to Iwi – This is Treason There is a major power shift happening under our noses — power moving from elected representatives to unelected and unaccountable iwi and hapū appointees. Hobson’s Pledge has warned for years that Mana Whakahono ā Rohe agreements (MWRs) are undermining local democracy. Captured councils and iwi are rushing them through before the Government’s RMA reforms. Right now, the Far North District Council is prioritising multiple MWRs with five iwi and even one hapū — while trying to avoid public consultation. The RMA refers to iwi authorities, not hapū. Brave whistleblower Councillor Davina Smolders has exposed that the Far North agreement explicitly cedes sovereignty. Clause 2.0 states: "The Parties recognise the significance for Te Rūnanga-A-Iwi-Õ-Ngāpuhi of He Whakaputanga o Te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni as a declaration of the status of Māori as the sovereign people of Aotearoa/New Zealand.” Local councils should not be ceding our nation’s sovereignty. This is a massive constitutional issue. Enough is enough. Kiwis are easygoing, but now is the time to act. We’re hearing this is being pushed nationwide — iwi urged to lock in these deals before RMA changes. Once signed, they’ll be nearly impossible to undo. This is coming to a council near you. We can stop this brazen power grab, but we need to work together. Minister Chris Bishop must amend the RMA replacement Bills to end these MWRs and make clear they won’t stand, no matter when signed. Elected power belongs to elected officials — no one else. Minister Simon Watts (Local Government) also needs to act to halt the shift from elected to unelected. We’re fighting back by publishing ads in newspapers up and down the country, since mainstream media won’t cover it. These agreements entrench iwi governance, not just co-governance — race-based preferential treatment, conflicts of interest, and control over planning, assets, and ratepayer money. Roads, footpaths, and water are taking a backseat. Far North, the agreements are being pushed through committees stacked with unelected iwi/hapū reps negotiating them. Massive conflict of interest. This is the deliberate replacement of democracy with unelected iwi elites — while ordinary Kiwis are shut out. I’m disgusted and determined to alert every New Zealander. If this is happening in your area (Far North, Taupō, Taranaki, Bay of Plenty, etc.), spread the word. Talk to family and neighbours. Democracy only works when we use our voice. Let’s use ours — loudly. This is your money, your democracy, your future being signed away without consent. Will you support me? Get behind the resistance. He iwi tahi tātou. We are one people.

Of course the suicide claim is an odious lie, a self-evident absurdity that no remotely numerate person would entertain for a moment. (Over a half-decade, out of 15K British youth on the waiting list for the UK's only pediatric gender clinic, a total of four children committed suicide.) Of course even if it were true, it is a nonsequitur that has zero bearing on whether boys should compete against girls in sports rather than in their own sex category. In neither case would male or female athletes be responsible for anyone ending their lives anymore than a coach who cut a student who feels like he cannot live without being on a varsity athletic team is responsible for that death. Of course it's the same cheap emotional blackmail and bullying from a cult that brainwashes children to yearn to be chemically castrated and dismembered and programs them to coerce parents into consenting to the sterilization of their children with threats of suicide being deployed by a major candidate for the governorship of California. Of course Tom Steyer is indifferent to whether anybody is being helped or harmed by his ridiculous grandstanding, or whether what he is saying is false or true. Of course he is content to know nothing, repeat mindless talking points handed to him the woke staffers, and bask in his virtue and goodness. All of it reveals a person devoid of moral and epistemic integrity who has no business leading anything.

Iranian hairstylist Ami Moghadam received death threats for posting videos of women receiving haircuts on Instagram. So she decided to troll the Islamic Regime and their oppressive mandatory hijab laws in the most epic, hilarious way possible. 😂

@BillboardChris If they can sell the biggest lies, the cheap ones sell like hotcakes. A standing lie like that is incredibly valuable to the left, they'll fight to keep it.

Not one grave was found. This unbelievable hoax continues. The lie is so big, they don’t know how to get out of it.

Retired District Court Judge David Harvey on the under-16s social media ban - and the question the government still won't answer: "How are you going to verify everyone's age?" His piece in LawNews lays it out plainly. To keep under-16s off social media, every adult has to prove who they are. This is likely to include name, address, phone, date of birth, government ID, facial biometric - all attached to your platform activity, all stored, all sitting in one place. What gets built isn't an age check. It's a comprehensive identity infrastructure that happens to check ages. And in NZ's case, it would be run by the Department of Internal Affairs - the same agency that issues passports, runs the Digital Child Exploitation team, the Digital Violent Extremism team, content classification, and anti-spam enforcement.  The EU model Harvey examines has at least 27 independent data protection authorities, constitutional privacy guarantees, and architectural separation between functions. NZ has none of that. His conclusion: "the DIA should have nothing to do with the age verification proposals." Worth reading in full 👇 lawnews.nz/administrative…

This roadrunner doesn’t just show up — he knocks on the door like he’s coming over for a visit. When she opens the door, his tail feathers go wild like an excited dog, and he proudly hands over his latest “gift” (this time, a yellow leaf and a twig). Once she takes it, he’s off again to find her something else. It’s become their daily little ritual. What makes it even sweeter is that she rescued him when he was hurt. He never left after he recovered, and now he brings her gifts every day like a thank you she never asked for. Have you ever had a wild animal decide you were their person?

No surprises some bright spark from MBIE thought spending 3.5 million on telling people how to save fuel was a good idea. Then they claim it has a return 😆😆 honestly get rid of 50 % of them- NO one will notice. More of them we have the more money they waste.

Just because we keep building more shelter beds and tiny home villages doesn’t mean people actually stay in them. That’s why, despite all the spending and new capacity, our streets never look cleaner or safer. Homeless drug addicts continue to roam the city, loitering in parks and using fentanyl and meth in plain view. Nicholas confided that the policy at the tiny home villages is remarkably lax: residents are only required to stay there two or three nights a week to avoid eviction. That means they’re still spending four or five nights homeless on the streets. @MayorofSeattle @SeattleCouncil @ExecZahilay

@Filhab3 So sorry Jo. That dog was special. The bond you and your family had with Bentley doesn't just go away.

Morning all I want to thank everyone that reached out about Bentley he crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday ♥️we took our time to help the kids navigate it ♥️ he was so peaceful and the vet was so incredible I can’t respond to messages as I broke the bottom of my phone ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Phyllis was incredible. I didn’t know of her until The Handmaid’s Tale made her sound like some kind of evil witch. Then a couple of years ago, a friend sent me some videos of her interviews and my jaw hit the floor. Women should have listened to her! We actually had more rights.

@SlimWiggy For decades I only tangentially heard *about* Phyllis Schlafly, without observing her speak myself. Leftists had me convinced she was some idiotic buffoon. I only learned about two years ago from watching this exact program: the woman was brilliant. Warm and elegant, to boot.

The best part is this actually continues, with Friedan attempting to berate Schlafly for benefiting from 2nd wave feminism. Schlafly worked her way through college during WW2 and had attended Harvard. Feminists still pull this, thank us for rights your great grandmothers had or be shunned.

Phyllis Schlafly lays out precisely why the leftist/Marxists had to introduce "trans" while the mother of 2nd wave feminism repeatedly fails to answer a basic question:

Dr Hyde is a Hutt Valley gynaecologist - which is a worry because he is also one of the experts supporting the view that men can physically become female 🤔

@discobiscuit900 @dellavaris That's a "mangina".

Dear Auckland- your new bridge design has been leaked. Apparently called “Ākarana poti hepapa kia ora he pēhea te piriti kuia me ētahi kupu tāpiri kia āhua rerekē” you’ll pay a $1000 levy per year and $5 koha each time you cross it
