Serious questions need answering on NZ-India FTA For six months, we have been warning that the India-New Zealand FTA would, under current policy settings, mean open slather immigration from India to New Zealand. We have recently discovered that there has been an abrupt change of course – with changes being made to immigration settings which target Indians and Indians alone. Officials have warned Ministers that these changes could have impacts on our bilateral relationship with India and our reputation as a place to do business, and be open to legal challenge or retaliation from India. We have also seen evidence of officials discussing the importance of these changes not being publicly announced for fear of the Indian reaction. This discriminatory treatment, approved by the Minister of Immigration, includes: - imposing on Indian citizens a labour market/economic needs test that doesn’t apply to citizens of other relevant FTA partners; - precluding Indian citizens from applying for a temporary employment entry visa from within New Zealand, an option available to citizens of other relevant FTA partners; - treating Indian citizens worse than the citizens of other relevant FTA partners when it comes to their partners and children; and - precluding Indian citizens from counting work experience on a temporary employment entry visa towards residency requirements, a right extended to citizens of other relevant FTA partners. The Indian Government has the right to know about National’s intention to treat Indian citizens in a discriminatory manner relative to citizens of other FTA partners, such as China, Thailand, or South Korea. New Zealand First would have preferred that the India FTA not include any migration concessions whatsoever. But if the Government has negotiated such commitments it is only fitting and proper that it be transparent with India about how it intends to apply them – and in what respects it intends to treat Indians worse than Chinese, Thais, Koreans and nationals from other New Zealand FTA partners. We suggest that if additional restrictions are applied to Indians travelling to New Zealand under this FTA, the only consistent and principled step would be to apply these restrictions to citizens of all FTA partners. This, sadly, is palpably not the approach being contemplated by our coalition partners and Labour – and they need to explain why. These issues will be important to both the Indian Government and to New Zealand’s Indian community, who will be concerned to ensure that Indians receive equitable treatment to people of other nationalities. Labour is now complicit in National’s plan to treat Indians inequitably. But it is not too late for Labour to change course and oppose this shoddy FTA. We urge the Prime Minister, the Trade Minister and the Immigration Minister to make clear to India, before the FTA legislation is passed into law, about the ways in which they intend to implement this FTA differently from our previous relevant FTAs. We look forward to the Prime Minister, Trade Minister and Immigration Minister clarifying these matters publicly with urgency, so as to avoid any potential trade retaliation, legal action, or reputational damage. There must be equitable treatment for citizens of all countries coming into New Zealand under our various FTAs. Discriminatory treatment is not the New Zealand way.

This is true for all advanced Western countries. Probably too late now though for the UK whose demographics are now its destiny ☪️

“We are going to have a multi-racial nation in Singapore. This is not a Malay nation. This is not a Chinese nation. This is not an Indian nation. Everybody will have his place here, equal: language, culture, religion.” — Lee Kuan Yew, August 9, 1965 LKY’s quote echoes Aristotle’s account of the polis as the highest koinonia, or community, formed not by blood or mere aggregation but for the sake of eudaimonia, the good life, through justice as its binding principle and the cultivation of virtue among citizens. A regime, or politeia, endures when it serves the common good rather than faction. Lee took a vulnerable, divided entrepôt and deliberately constructed a modern polis. He rejected ethnic clientelism, imposed equal rules under law, rewarded merit, and built habits of discipline and cohesion so citizens of every background could pursue security and rising prosperity together. He treated nationhood as a fragile achievement that required constant defense against stasis. Aristotle warned that when a politeia no longer aims at eudaimonia for the whole but instead manages competing interests and erodes the civic ethos, it decays into factional strife and eventual collapse. And Lee showed what deliberate counter measures look like in practice. America today is moving toward the condition Aristotle feared and Lee refused to accept. Identity based claims increasingly displace equal rules, merit yields to group outcome, and trust in shared institutions frays. Without a conscious recovery of the principles that once sustained our own politeia, namely justice applied without favor, habits of self-government, and a civic ethos oriented toward the flourishing of citizens as one people rather than rival tribes, America risks the very stasis and hollowing that have undone polities throughout history.

@ShaiNavot TOP is rebooted as a Labour side brand designed as an easy coalition partner. The gushing media endorsements look anything but organic. Shady stuff

People losing their minds that our democracy is functioning like a democracy. Yes a new party is (finally) getting some media coverage when National, NZ First, Labour is all over the media Every. Single. Day. You seem to be fine with that though. Selective.

And wait until you find out about these two…. Kayla Kingdon-Bebb + James Shaw.. Kingdom- Bebb is a senior TOP candidate, and is also one of the Authors of co-governance report - Hepuapua - which is based on UNDRIP, which is legally reaffirmed in Luxon’s Nation destroying Indian FTA, backed by Act and Labour. Despicable clowns.

Chris Hipkins - Labour Party Leader lives with Toni. Toni and Lees-Galloway share a business together. Lees-Galloway is the manager of TOP. Is the Labour Party the snake supporting TOP? The links are certainly all there. The Greens are toxic for Labour, this their escape plan?

Having escaped the Chinese Communist Party’s control in China, I immigrated to Australia seeking freedom and a better future. Instead, I now witness a nation founded on Christian faith, values, and Western civilisation rapidly descending into communism — and worse still, compounded by the growing influence of Islamism. Why bother?

No one is switching from Act, NZ First or National to vote for TOP. They are cannibalising the Greens and Labour. Considering how far-left TOP is, their support is coming from the Greens.
Holyhekatuiteka@2ETEKA

Laws this morning : “TOP is of course a leftist party aided and abetted by the metropolitan MSM who identifies with them” but them breaking 5% is INEVITABLE - and this poll is a dire warning for the centre right. National should have dumped Luxon’s ass months ago and went to an early election, the cost of living will be worse in 4 months time. Both National & Labour have two crap leaders, whoever swaps first will probably seal the deal. Luxon, so typically has weakly come out this morning with “ a vote for TOP is a vote for Labour” - he needs to rule them out completely. NZ has never had its ‘teal moment’ like Australia did two elections ago, when disguised greenies harvested votes from both the left and the right. Concerningly Luxon last year stated that he would welcome a teal movement here in NZ, and noted that National itself has a ‘blue green’ movement, that like him worships the Green death cult climate con. National has been too soft, too safe, too meek, too mild, too little too late. Luxon continues to display the political skills of a boat anchor by vowing to bring in digital ID and his social media ban. Total muppets. Act the other half of the Indian tribute band is falling fast in the charts, while NZF continues to do all the heavy lifting and has a leader with the best approval ratings of ALL parties. Since December - Nats and Labour are down 10 points - the two big parties are bleeding out - people are going elsewhere and want CHANGE - even if it’s worse they want to break things up. Only NZFirst can get the CR coalition over the line in November - Luxon and National would do well to keep that front of mind. National have been sleep walking off a cliff ever since the 2023 election.
