Our Chief WEF negotiator got outplayed by the Indians. 🤡 We should've let them walk away. Not all over us. This is the worst deal in New Zealand's history. 🛑 rnz.co.nz/news/political…

🚨#Khalistan flag raised and a “Khalistan Declaration” announced outside a Sikh centre in Adelaide. #Australia says it supports India’s territorial integrity and monitors extremism—so why allow such events, and what is its real stance?

Disgusting @MarkMitchellMP @chrisluxonmp Ya fucking all know whats happening overseas, and you let this shit happen in NZ

NZ immigrants are also able to access the Kainga Ora 5% loans scheme - it's WRONG on every level ⬇️

There is no depth too low, for the National Party to stoop to.

From the NZCPR website The recent appointment of ten unelected iwi representatives with full voting rights onto a Council Committee of just six elected Councillors is a stark illustration that the tribal takeover of Local Government in New Zealand is now well underway. But before we examine a prominent King’s Counsel’s findings that this development as unlawful, we should first ask a more fundamental question: how on earth has it come to this in a supposedly democratic country? To answer that question, we need to revisit the egregious betrayal of voters by Jacinda Ardern’s Labour Party after the 2020 election, when they campaigned on one set of promises only to deliver something entirely different once elected to office as a majority government. At the behest of their powerful 15-strong Maori caucus, Labour unleashed an effective tribal takeover of New Zealand – without any mandate whatsoever from voters. The blueprint for their betrayal had, of course, been mapped out a year earlier under the guise of a plan to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. However, the He Puapua strategy to replace democracy with tribal rule by 2040, was deemed to be so radical that it was kept secret from their New Zealand First Coalition partner – and from the public – until the 2020 election delivered the Party the opportunity to implement it without scrutiny. The mainstream media was even silenced, through the announcement of a new $55 million Public Interest Journalism Fund that required recipients to promote the “Te Tiriti partnership” fabrication – which was the central tenet of He Puapua – as a condition of their funding. Naturally, the cash-strapped, largely left-leaning media sector welcomed the handouts and were only too willing to facilitate Labour’s wishes. To embed the “Te Tiriti” agenda within the state sector, Labour turbo-charged the Office of Maori-Crown Relations, which had been set up in 2019 as an agency co-managed by tribal leaders, giving iwi power brokers access to the entire State sector. Over 200 staff were deployed to undertake a mass “re-education” campaign, forcing Government agencies to adopt “Te Tiriti”, and compelling employees to sing waiata, call New Zealand “Aotearoa”, and speak the Maori language. A key objective was to embed the partnership agenda within State sector decision-making bodies, since that gave unelected and unaccountable tribal representatives the balance of power through the right of veto in all “co-governance” arrangements. It was through this mechanism that Labour orchestrated an effective tribal takeover of our country. As the demands of iwi leaders escalated, major public sector reforms were undertaken. Without warning – and right in the middle of the pandemic – the country’s District Health Boards were disestablished and replaced by a centralised system co-governed by Maori that elevated race above clinical need as a deciding factor in patient health care. Maori control of the country’s freshwater was orchestrated through Three Waters, which centralised community water infrastructure and assets to enable co-governance. And the long-standing democratic right of communities to reject council decisions to establish Maori wards without public consultation was abolished to enable the tribal takeover of Local Government. Private sector agencies were also targeted through new laws that required regulatory bodies to impose Te Tiriti partnership requirements onto real estate agents, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, charities – and even re-registering societies. As the 2023 election approached, the public became increasingly alarmed by these developments, but were reassured by pledges from National, ACT and New Zealand First, that if elected, the tribal influence would be removed. Coalition Agreements promised the Maori Health Authority and Three Waters would be abolished, local government petition rights would be restored, Treaty principles would be removed from legislation, He Puapua would be stopped, no race-based laws would be enacted, and equal rights would be restored. But the new Government underestimated just how deeply public officials had been captured. Many of the nearly 20,000 extra bureaucrats hired under Labour were committed He Puapua advocates who are now pro-actively sabotaging the Coalition’s attempts to dismantle it. While some flagship projects were axed, the ideological machinery remains firmly embedded in the State sector, which explains why so many Coalition Bills – even those supposedly designed to reject race-based provisions and restore equal rights – still end up prioritising tribal influence. The much‑vaunted Fast‑track Approvals legislation is a glaring example. Despite all the tough talk, it still mandates that local Maori are notified of projects, and that ‘expert panels’ include a member ‘qualified in a Maori worldview’ – which in practice means someone sympathetic to iwi demands. This has now resulted in a five-month delay for the Santana Minerals application for a gold mine on the West Coast – and an alleged demand from iwi for a $180 million payoff. In other words, instead of the new legislation treating iwi the same as everyone else – the race-based privileges included in the law are now creating the same problems of delays and blackmail that crippled the Resource Management Act. It’s the same story with the Marine and Coastal Area Act amendments that were introduced by the Coalition last year. Instead of removing “tikanga” or Maori custom from the legislation – since that was the reason the law went off the rails in the first place – it was retained. The predictable result is that the Coalition’s reforms are on track to make no material difference at all to case outcomes, leaving New Zealand’s coastline still likely to fall into tribal hands. In fact, if future claims follow the pattern as the first case heard under the new law, the only option to save the coast is if ACT and New Zealand First pledge to repeal the Marine and Coastal Area Act and restore Crown ownership of the coastline – in the national interest – by reinstating the 2004 Foreshore and Seabed Act. The RMA reforms are following the same disastrous pattern. Instead of terminating all Treaty-related agreements with iwi that councils have entered into over the years, the Planning and the Natural Environment Bills intend carrying them through into the new legislation. This means favoured iwi will still be able to demand cultural assessment reports – at the applicants’ expense – and hold out their hand for “compensation” to sooth their cultural needs, like $180 million from a mining company. And with the draft legislation signalling all existing iwi agreements with councils will be carried forward, there’s now a rush of new arrangements being established up and down the country, ahead of the law change, as iwi engineer themselves a privileged status in Local Government decision-making into the future – not to mention the gravy-train of lucrative financial rewards that brings. All of this is in spite of the 2025 High Court ruling in Hart v Marlborough District Council confirming that local councils are not part of the Crown and therefore have no Treaty obligations beyond what Parliament explicitly legislates. In other words, these far-reaching “partnership” agreements between iwi and activist councils are not required by law. Yet because the Coalition has failed to make this explicit, many local authorities – including activist councils like Whangarei, where voters deliberately removed Maori seats – are now about to “embed” Te Tiriti partnership obligations across their entire operation. As mentioned earlier, the latest egregious power grab involves the Far North District Council’s decision to appoint 10 iwi representatives with voting rights onto its Te Kuaka Committee for Maori Strategic Relationships, which had just six elected council members. While appointing a majority of iwi representatives to over-ride decision-making by a minority of elected councillors, would appear to be undemocratic, it is, however, permitted under the law: Clause 31 (1) of Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act states “members of a committee or sub-committee may, but not need be, elected members of the local authority” and 32(1) enables the granting of voting rights. This week’s NZCPR Guest Commentator, King’s Counsel Gary Judd, argues that the appointment of those ten iwi representatives is however, unlawful: “The first purpose of local government, stated in s 10 of the LGA is to enable democratic local decision-making and action by, and on behalf of, communities, and the role of a local authority such as FNDC is to give effect to its purpose (s 11). A local authority must act in accordance with principles set out in s 14. The first is to conduct its business in an open, transparent, and democratically accountable manner. Another principle is that it should provide opportunities for Māori to contribute to its decision-making processes. That doesn’t mean, hand over decision-making to iwi and hapu. That runs completely counter to the requirements for democratic decision-making and democratic accountability.” He accuses Councillors – apart from whistleblower Davina Smolders – of “engineering a transfer of power to iwi and hapu, no doubt in pursuance of the claim to have sovereignty over the north. The mayor and all but one of the elected members are promoting or supporting this unlawful transfer of power or are cravenly standing by and allowing it to happen.” What’s worse, is that the Minister of Local Government, Simon Watts, has been persuaded by his public service advisors not to act: “I have received advice on the Far North District Council, and it does not meet the threshold for Ministerial intervention. It is a local matter, and it needs to be handled locally…” This is not what people voted for when electing the National-led Coalition Government in 2023. Voters expected the Coalition to defend democracy and prevent the iwi takeover of councils. Since the Local Government (System Improvements) Amendment Bill is currently in front of Parliament, a Supplementary Order Paper amending Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act to read “members of a committee or sub-committee MUST be elected members of a local authority” could be included in that Bill to fix the problem. Furthermore, by making the change retrospective, all existing arrangements between iwi and councils would be abolished. And to be sure that no iwi agreements are carried forward to corrupt the new Planning and Natural Environment legislation, since those Bills are still in front of Parliament, an amendment could be added to the effect that any iwi arrangements with Councils would lapse as soon as the new laws take effect. This would ensure that activist councils cannot continue to advance an iwi power-grab through the back door. These recent attempts by iwi leaders to control local government show just how serious this tribal takeover has become. Just because the government changed, it doesn’t mean New Zealand is safe. Quite the opposite. With the framework for tribal rule already in place, iwi are now proactively hunting for every opportunity to impose their controls onto an unsuspecting public. This is why other related election pledges, yet to be addressed – such as repealing or replacing Treaty principles in twenty-three pieces of legislation and overhauling the Waitangi Tribunal – need to be completed before the election. It’s also why any party that pledges “to remove all race-based initiatives from legislation” as a bottom line during the election campaign, should be supported – because they understand that the only way to guarantee equal rights is for a nation to have colourblind statutes. It’s what a number of OECD countries have already done – including Sweden, Finland, Austria, Holland, France, and Belgium. New Zealand now needs to now follow suit. What this disastrous chapter in our history reveals is not only that the Labour Party can longer be trusted, but that tribal leaders have become increasingly deceptive and greedy in their relentless push to undermine democracy and grab power and public resources for themselves. Furthermore, this saga underscores how critical courage and resolve are in any political party that claims they are defending our democracy – and it also reminds us just how vital independent voices like Gary Judd KC have become in calling out unlawful overreach and standing up for the rights of all New Zealanders.

@NZNationalParty You can't call your communist / globalist party the NATIONAL PARTY from decades ago. It's nothing of the sort. GASLIGHT me HARDER.

🔵 Simeon Brown's doing the victory lap this week over fast-tracking 100 overseas-trained doctors into GP roles. 🥼 He says he's building the future workforce. The Medical Council's data says it's a stunt. ‼️ Anyone in National want to defend these numbers? Thread below. 👇

TOTAL REPLACEMENT 😱

OK. A parliamentary petition is underway to have @mjdutt removed from New Zealand. The reasons are here. When this goes live, signatures can be added. I'll post a link 👇

@chrisinstalbans @franks_lawyer This is exactly the type of bullshit people are tired of.

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.

90 Years of decay @NZNationalParty An item with 47 likes from 7,500 views and 131 comments says I'm not alone in thinking National is hypocrisy in action, using words about a proud past as if they were still real today.

Britain is waking up. But it might be too late. Immigration policies, FTA’s and climate alarmism have destroyed the motherland. NZers won’t unite while many wave the tino rangatiratanga or🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ flags. #divideandrule

Dear Christopher Luxon, @chrisluxonmp This morning on NewstalkZB you were asked about Nigel Farage’s surge in the UK and the clear anti-mass-immigration backlash that just delivered a political earthquake in Australia. Your response? “That’s just a grumpy few… people are playing politics with immigrants.” As a lifelong National voter, I have rarely heard a more tone-deaf dismissal of legitimate public concern. Because the grumpy few you wave away are not fringe agitators on social media. They are the silent majority of Kiwis who have watched their country change at breakneck speed while being lectured that any unease makes them right-wing or racist. You and your colleagues have spent years telling us how “highly skilled” the new arrivals are and how lazy and unambitious Kiwis have become. Yet your own government’s figures, and the brand-new India–New Zealand FTA, now classify Domino’s pizza workers, yoga instructors, chefs, and AYUSH practitioners as “skilled” migrants eligible for dedicated visa pathways. Net migration is still running at tens of thousands a year, with India one of the largest sources. Housing, hospitals, schools and roads are groaning under the weight. Wages in retail, hospitality and trades are being undercut. And when Kiwis point this out, the official line is that we’re just not trying hard enough. That’s not evidence-based policy. That is propaganda dressed up as economic necessity. Worse, it is selective. You and your MPs have been photographed wearing turbans and paying respects at temples and gurdwaras in search of ethnic bloc votes. That’s not “celebrating diversity.” That is ethnic vote-bank politics of the kind you accuse others of. When a junior National backbencher last week screamed “foreign political interference” because he was merely quote-tweeted by an overseas account, the absurdity was complete. The only foreign interference National seems to worry about is the kind that doesn’t deliver you donations or diaspora ballots. Meanwhile, you lecture us about the dangers of social media while your government rushes through under-16 bans modelled on the EU’s Digital Services Act - conveniently timed before the election. Elon Musk’s purchase of X has been one of the most significant pro-democracy acts of the past decade precisely because it broke the stranglehold of legacy media and government-aligned censors. Yet your instinct is to regulate and restrict rather than trust New Zealanders to think for themselves. That tells us everything about where your priorities lie. The latest Poll of Polls gives the current coalition an extremely high probability of surviving November. That is not because of any great love for National. It is because enough Kiwis still fear a return to the Ardern-era madness. But loyalty has limits. A great many of us who have voted National our entire adult lives have reached them. We will not reward a party that sneers at our justified concerns about rapid, unmanaged immigration from one particular country while simultaneously courting that same community for electoral gain. We will not vote for leaders who dismiss the very real pressures on housing, wages, infrastructure and social cohesion as the whingeing of a “grumpy few.” So here is the practical reality, Prime Minister. Kiwis with a functioning brain will party vote NZ First - the only party in your coalition that has consistently treated immigration numbers as a serious policy lever rather than a virtue signal. In the electorates many of us will still hold our noses and give National the local vote to keep the left out. But the party vote is no longer yours by default. You have mistaken quiet frustration for automatic loyalty. That era is over. The “grumpy few” you mock are the backbone of the National Party’s historic support. Keep dismissing us and you’ll discover exactly how quickly a safe coalition majority can evaporate. Yours, in genuine disappointment, A former National voter

@JosephMooneyMP We as a country need to have an honest discussion with regards to repatriation of foreigners back to their countries of origin. The problem you have outlined only compounds as more migrants arrive, refuse to return and ultimately drain resources when they are old.

@JosephMooneyMP Misleading. If NZ was a functioning society those 2.3 million would be taxed to fund social goods such superannuation. Instead those 2.3 million are taxed so the Ardern-Luxon regime can redistribute most of it to the Maori gangs and to a tidal wave of third-world immigrants.

Papatoetoe Intermediate School took a trip to their local Sikh temple. You are looking at the future of our country right here if we do nothing. This is population replacement, wake up NZ.

@NZNationalParty This was what voters wanted 2 years ago! Anything positive that national & ACT are doing/proposing at the moment is too late to stop the inevitable. This desperate bid to reverse nat/acts poor polling a few months before the election is blatantly obvious. Time for some cosplay !

National is stopping wasteful spending to get the books back in order and reduce the size of government.

Who should control South Island water?
