If a line-by-line review had been carried out, Coalition Ministers would have been shocked to discover Labour’s toxic He Puapua programmes are still operating. De-funding those including “Rautaki Maori” policies to deliver preferential hiring practices for Maori. would not only have helped the Coalition to deliver on their election pledge to “Stop He Puapua”, but it would also have saved millions of dollars to reduce spending and pay down debt.

Nicola Willis described Budget 2025 as a “No BS” Budget. That’s true, to the extent that it lacked the stratospheric BS that characterised the political spin of the Ardern/Robertson budgets. That was the good news. The not-so-good news is that the budget lacked substance and was devoid of the economic reform that this country needs to reverse its long-term economic decline. It tinkered with the problem.

Quality reform is now called for. But where is the party with the courage to set New Zealand on the path to a better future – one where the good of New Zealanders is put first, and where there’s no kowtowing to vested interest groups demanding special privileges.
The current welfare system has over the years piled mountains of debt onto the shoulders of today’s children and young people, who as a result, should be marching in the streets in protest. The crisis of New Zealand’s unfunded obligations is about to hit us hard. .

New Zealand has one of the world's longest running democracies, but the Maori seats have been weaponised to destroy it. Will the Coalition accelerate the tribal takeover by introducing tikanga into Parliament, or will they honour their election pledge and reject it?
The Court’s role is to interpret and apply the law as Parliament has enacted it, not to substitute its own judgment for that of elected representatives. As the UK Supreme Court has shown, respect for democracy demands judicial discipline, not activism.
In the interest of national security, the country’s coastal marine area needs to be nationalised in the public interest by repealing the Marine and Coastal Area Act, cancelling the claims, and restoring the 2004 Foreshore and Seabed Act, so New Zealand’s coastline and Territorial Sea will be owned and controlled by the Crown on behalf of all New Zealanders.
Proposed Treaty of Waitangi-related work by the Coalition Government includes: a review of treaty clauses in 28 laws, a law change to refocus the Waitangi Tribunal back to its original intent, and a decision on where to next for the Marine and Coastal Area Act after a 2024 Supreme Court decision to ease concerns about a tribal takeover of the entire coast.
