This week's poll asks:

Should New Zealand follow the lead of Alabama and ban all influence of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 from our laws and practices?

*I consider that Agenda 21 is a means of controlling nations by stealth and removing their sovereignty. Brian

*Insiduous crap. Dave

*A No Brainer. Christopher

*Global domination has always been the aim of the United Nations . Desmond

*The UN is not to be trusted. The UN are liars and manipulaters and I don't want them to be involved in telling me what I can and can't do. Neil

*When are we going to say "enough is enough?" Pam

*One world government has been prophesied in the Bible, so we know its coming. However, that doesn't mean that we should roll over for it; its time may not be for a while yet. These socialist ideas are anti-Christ. Individualism and prosperity, with plenty for everyone, is how things were always meant to be. Control is anti-God. Jane

*The UN (United Numpties) are the world leaders in Antihumanism. They need to be wound up now for the betterment of all mankind. Maurice

*Time the UN was consigned to the rubish bin along with any politician that promotes it. A one world government will not make your or my life any better, just the reverse. Neville

*Our politicians these days prefer to kiss arse and smile and shake hands. Claire

*Concerned that this subterfuge is going on..pity helen is with united nations..she probably helped to form it!! Jane

*Banning Agenda 21 is just as radical an action as its adoption is implied. The environment is changing (good and bad), and that change impacts traditional national boundaries more and more, requiring more global solutions. Timothy

*WE should get as far away from any UN policies as possible. Everything they advocate has a hidden agenda and yet in the areas where action is really needed such as Syria, Rwanda etc etc the Un is totally ineffective. The organisation is corrupt to the core and a giant waste of money. Ronmac

*Congratulations to our Police for their efforts. For the sake of NZ and all citizens, keep up your surveillance of these liars. Cecelia

*No wonder this country is stagnating, but those in the U N couldn't care less. Ivan

*NZ desperately needs legislation to protect the property rights and personal freedoms so hard-won by our forebears. What started as a trickle of Left Wing attacks on these freedoms, is rapidly becoming a flood. The UN has long been a cover for Socialist/Communists to advance their agenda of a one world government - Marxist of course. It is no secret that the leaders of the two main Communist parties in NZ are now embedded in the Green party and its associated groups. Many in Labour are closely involved in this global threat - The way that Helen Clark and her friends have wangled their way into positions of international power is an indication of how deeply embedded these people are in "the system." Unfortunately local governments throughout NZ are dominated by people of the same ideology. For many the "green" label is merely a cover for their bright Red agenda. They talk loudly about consultation and democracy but in reality are really believers in Marxist dictatorships. Their noisy "rent-a-crowd" mates are pandered to by the overwhelmingly left-leaning mass media. Duncan

*Influence of the UN in domestic matters is already being promoted by socialist groups. This is destroying our freedom and the Kiwi way of life. Peter

*Control at all levels is very evident and I do not like any of it! The United Nations are a very dangerous organisataion! June

*Yes, Yes, YES. In a free world, those that want to live by the Agenda 21 rules should be free to do so but not free to impose on the rest of us. Peter

*A farmer friend of 40 years told me the other day that Waikato Reginal Council sent him a letter saying; he needs to get consent from their office to remove any bush 45 center metres high and beyond, as they want to check there maybe insects they haven't found yet. Friends! "The luniticks are running the asylym". Max

*We don't seem to be getting much up to date and objective information from the mainstream media. As far as I can see our politicians who are supposed to be representing our interests either don't know or don't care about the intrusion of UN damands and mandates into our laws and daily life. We need to have a healthy distrust of our politicians - both national and local. We elect them so they should answer to us. Denis

*Ban ban and more banned. Wayne

*I often think we as a country should reconsider our memebership of the Un as it seem to be incapable of carrying its basic function, the prevention of war. Hugh

*We are already over governed now. We do not need this. Frank

*Quite unbelievable what is going on. We should ask Aunty Helen to watch 4 us ??????? David

*And ban a whole heap of other stuff from the UN as well, including the indigenous peoples treaty. And while we are at it, convince our parliamentary dunderheads to get rid of all the PC rubbish foisted on us. Next thing is they will want to disarm us. Ray S

*The UN would be better employed in solving thr disputes if the middle east. Graham

*Yes! Hell YES! Please feel free to undermine any National MP like Smith, et al who subscribe to this socialism by stealth. There are plenty to choose from as 50% of the National Caucus supports this socialist power grab as does 65% of Cabinet. Peter

*Another insidious, slimy socialist system for us to fight against, where are going to get the strength? Monica

*Didn't realise that some of the States were doing this - fabulous! Bruce

*I hate the rotten communist/socialist bastards. Wish Key had the spine to lead action against this insidious UN organization. Helen

*I would like to stop all aid, tax exemp for religions? Also remove New Zealand from the United nations all together, as not being one of the glory six whats it even matter, it's a joke, fix our home and let others fix theres aide also. Onslo

*Kiwis are politically naive. Opposed to asset sales but since 2002 1.78m ha have been sold to foreign forestry - to be boosted by a labour/green stronger ETS. We have an ineptocracy. Peter

*I agree; The rights and the right to democracy in N.Z are being eroded more and more every year. People who get themselves into positions of power seem to think their position gives them superior wisdom. They then believe that N.Z. citizens loose their power to think and act as their consciences or intellegences tell them to. Lois

*I agree with the sentiments expressed. N.Z. citizens are being treated with contempt. Their rights and opinions are being stealthily and cunningly taken away from them. It is time to stop this travesty of injustice. John

This week's poll asks:

Should New Zealand follow the lead of Alabama and ban all influence of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 from our laws and practices?

*P.C. has gone overboard in N Z we are being continually bullied by thosse that belive they are Gods and we should not have a voice and take what they tell us aas gospel
Over the years past things have gone around and around and the rubbish pushed onto us to believe is creating more and more miney for the rich and the poor are getting poorer.
Time to act and say enough is enough as I heard on the radio the other day, we are a small country trying to prove to the big Countries we are right and they are wrong. we have lost so many businesses that have found it impossible to keep afloat because of Free Trade being handed out to other Countries which supply us with teh rubbish they cannot sell elsewhere Try finding anything made in New Zealand nowadays.
We will soon be dictated as to when we can eake up, go to sleep do chores go outside etc.
Wake up and say enough is enough. MARYLIN

*NZ should withdraw from the UN altogether. Elizabeth

*We need to demand from our politicians at all levels that they cease and desist from intruding into private lives and private property along the lines of Agenda 21 or any other "slippery slope" UN proposals undermining our democracy. Rob

*There is NO WAY that we want domination by government either by UN or NZ. Roy

*This is a massive liberty-threatening agenda that should be opposed at all cost. The main architects were Mikhail Gorbachev and Maurice Strong, a Canadian socialist and U.N. bureaucrat. Don

*I would say YES if it were possible to retain the provision for population control. In the 1950 s there were only 2 billion of us, now there are 7 billion plus. Anything however ludicrous which could even vestigially delay the disaster yet to come is worth retaining. Peter

*WE DO NOT WANT GLOBAL CONTROL! Nick

*Absolutely totally yes! We don't need this form of totalitarian gummint intruding on us under the guise of the green agenda. Caroline

*Yes, yes, and yes. Agenda 21 is an insidious attack on our sovereign rights as New Zealanders. There are any number of bizaar "rules" put in place in local body regulations to prevent us from enjoying practically every freedom associated with owning our own land. These are stupid rules that have been put in place, mostly by the "watermelons" (green on the outside but red in the middle) who have infiltrated Local Body organisations. Imagine having some pimply faced zealot dictating what colour you can paint your house? Who was the nitwit who demanded that we all must make development contributions amounting to many thousands of dollars ... not for a development, but for permission to build ones own house on ones own land, providing ones own water, sewerage system, installing ones own front gate culvert crossing etc etc etc. What the ........??? I shall call it public insolence! What do we pay rates for ... There is no possible fair or just reason for the Council to demand all the fees that they demand. Thank God National and ACT are sorting out the stupid Power of General Competence when we all know that Councils specialise in the Power of Incompetence!!!! Dianna

*There is more than enough interference by the UN in the running of our Country one of the worst being the UN Protocol on the Rights of Indigenous People which gives the so-called indigenous people of NZ the right to whine in perpetuity. Agent 21 will just expand this process under the guise of "sustainability" and protecting the Planet. Doug

*We should be taking NZ back for hard working NZ'ers. Ian

*Too much control. Melva

*Ban anything that has to do with the UN. Clark is a traitor, it's all about her. Why I ask everyday did Muriel Newman get out of politics. She is the only way we know what is going on. Makes me sad watching NZ given away to Maori and everyone else. Thought John Key would be different but it's just more of the same. Chris

*Definitely a disruption to sound economic development. Just another gravy train! Mark

*Yes ban this we are becomming puppets to non productive people polticans it has to stop. Geoff

*This is scary! We must stop this. Barb

*Common Sense. Albyn

*Well done Muriel. I was beginning to despair that you did n't know what was going on, that the UN is essentially a United Nazie outfit and the WHO is a World Homocide Organisation aiming to elliminate 90% of the world population,by any means possible but mostly by, denaturing of good, allopathic pharmaceutical medical toxins and vaccines. That what physicians are used for to destroy our immunity and perpetuate chronic degenerative diseases. Keep up the good work,I am right behind you and will spread you message. Emanuel

This week's poll asks:

Should New Zealand follow the lead of Alabama and ban all influence of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 from our laws and practices?

*Let's throw off the whole insidious and mainly underground tentacles of the UNO. Lately we've had the clandestine arrangement whereby the Maori racist Sharples furtively sneaked off to the UN to sign us up to the Indigenous People's Rights Treaty: that un-mandated action sanctioned by Key and presumably his cabinet. When was the last time either main party sought our approval for any UN agreement or treaty? Now we are feeling the affects of this increasingly invasive Agenda 21?
Now and for decades past we have been bereft of strong, trustworthy leadership; that is a leader who has been prepared or able to put New Zealand first! Frank

*Locally based practical solutions to a "problem" will be accepted and made to work. As opposed to perceived big brother policies from a distant area with no local input. Gary

*Get out of un altogether. HANS

*And drop Kick the ETC rapidly at the same time. A withdrawl from the UN itself although unlikely would be a step in the right direction. Philip

*NZ does not 'fit' into the same scenario as many of the over-populated, under-acheiving countries of the world and is more akin to States like Alabama, who in their wisdom, have banned the controlling scheme known as Agenda 21. Jayne

*Thank you for pointing out the Hamilton City Council Agenda 21 promotion. This is worthy of some serous questions to our local politicians come next election. Chris

*While I do believe we have to create better solutions to many facets of life, certainly not under Agenda 21 or any UN driven initiatives. We seem to be in the age of very few secretive powerful people wishing to have a one global governance which t is very hypocritical as ruling power is held by very few. There is no freedom for the masses. Self determination is killed off.
Even if this latest push for one world government fails another will rise in it's place until something finally shocks humankind into taking life much more seriously but adopting decent initiatives. I have hope for the future but to get there will be very grueling due to leader, political & economic deceit so hidden and diabolical we will have to support each other in groups to get through the coming potentially very rough periods (we can influence any outcomes with education awareness and action before it happens or emeliorate it). Margaret

*What ever happened to sovereignty? We should be able to make our own decisions regarding our countries future. Lets tell those leftist morons to stop interfering! We should not be held answerable to faceless people we individuals can't even communicate with! Andy

*The doomsday people have been around for years and few if any of their predictions ever come true. Colin

*The UN's hidden agenda is world domination by a One-World Government. Keith

*Let us all be responsible for our own actions - good or bad. Mary

*Well done! Your comment not before time. Samuel

*Already our society has been damaged and changed beyond repair by laws many people didn't want. Cheryl

*ABSOLUTELY!! Helen Clark is where she is in the UN because of the policies she inflicted on NZ. Problem is we do not have a govt with enough guts to reverse any of these policies. Unless the Govt takes a stand we will be faced with the continual drip feeding of UN policies and our Grandchildren will wake up with a one world govt. Maurice

*And stop paying its UN dues until the present corrupt leadership (which includes the "sainted" Helen Clark) are thrown out and unable to impose their agenda on our lives and on our pockets. Lech

*Emphatically - YES! Make no mistake, there is a socialist scheme to take over TOTAL GOVERNANCE of the WORLD. It is already well under way. You thought communism was dead? WRONG! It has just put on wolve's clothing in the form of concern for the environment. Socialists, greenies (aka melon-heads) Unions et al are all assisting to further this aim. None of these people are elected by the public. They get the nod from the socialist leaders. Helen Clerk is a prime example. Remember what a controlling bitch she was? Well that was nothing - she is after more and more power and is steadilly climbing the ladder. We need to keep absolute 100% control over our own country. We do not want these dictats from the reds automatically included in our laws and the running of our lives. The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance and New Zealan and Kiwis are fast asleep - failing to see what is happening to their freedom. Auntie Podes

*The United Nations is about as useful as The League Of Nations back in time.Perhaps there time would be better spent cleaning up there own backyard. John

*Absolutely YES!!! I can see why our former prime minister sold NZ out to the UN and secured herself in a high ranking position at the UN. We must follow the lead of Alabama and ban Agenda 21. Steve

This week's poll asks:

Should New Zealand follow the lead of Alabama and ban all influence of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 from our laws and practices?

*The UN is an insidious and evil organisation. It's aim is control of us all and One World Government. Anything that originates out of the UN has an agenda that should frighten us. Good for thos American States which have made a stand against them (the UN. We should do the same but, somehow I don't see it happening. Apathetic Kiwi's need to stand up to any government who bring UN policies into law in our country. Lynn

*Finally, have we the gumption to stand up and and say a loud NO to the growth destructive policies of the looney left. Peter

*This has infiltrated by stealth into our local body systems, with staff being trained in what techniques & language to use. eg Hamilton city council. It is time to lop the heads off this hydra while we still can, & before the 'sheeple' can be indoctrinated. Bazza

*I for one am sick of living in a nanny state and a PC world. Let's stand up and be counted. John

*We are being taken for a ride on this UN Agenda 21 misinformation. Roy

*Agenda 21 is the total destruction of National, economic and personal sovereignty. It is a primary tool used by the U.N. (global elite/bankers) to implement a global communist super state. It is their Trojan Horse and it has worked just as effectively as the original. People really need to research this situation, get a grasp of the big picture and start taking action against this communist agenda before it is too late. If as a nation we don't, in a surprisingly few years, expressing views like this will be a serious threat to ones liberty and life. Robert

*Most definitely, let common sense prevail. Barbara

*The less central government in our lives the better. One day the big brother syndrome will go too far. Bob

*And dont let Len Brown any where near agenda 21...too late! Damn. Steve

*YEEEESSSS!!!! I have read and heard of things like this but you never know how seriously to take it! Are the people talking about it a bunch of 'alarmist?' or 'conspiracy theorists?'. Then I start to notice how ever encroaching the government is becoming in our lives and it seems to be escalating. Now that you are alerting us to it Muriel I know that there is no reason to doubt it anymore. My god, how on earth do we over come this!? Trina

*I am tired of our government being accountable to the UN rather than its own people. Martin

*This is a top down governance system that very few have knowingly voted for.This insidious system has been gradually implemented thru local govt. The green washing has been introduced into schools, universities, and now being pushed into business.
The Agenda 21 system is not well known. Thanks to you Muriel,you are one of the very few who have explained publicly what the agenda actually means. Not that long ago you would have been branded as a conspiracy kook.
The Green agenda is two fold.
Firstly the real green agenda is not about the environment, its about earth depopulation. This is serious stuff, who is going to be the first to die?
These depopulationist people are in parliament, many NZDERs vote for this system, thinking that the Green party actually stands for the environment.
The Green movement has been and is being infiltrated by the communists.

Secondly , Green is a theolodgy, worship of the mother earth god, Gaia.

The Greens are to be feared, they are anti business, very well funded and are very much part of a wealth transfer regime.
Most of the above will be denied, but any who wish to do their homework will uncover their agenda.
The next Govt will be green driven, as they will hold the balance of power. Watch out SMEs. Ross

*Yes, ay once, if not from last year. Eneka

*We should not be controlled by the UN or any goverment. Ronald

*Your commentary makes very interesting reading. Royce

This week's poll asks:

Should New Zealand follow the lead of Alabama and ban all influence of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 from our laws and practices?

*Damn sure we need to stop this control that is sneaking in and taking away our rights. John

*Yes tell Helen Clark and her lesbo cronnies to get LOST. Mike

*Absolutely. We should go further and withdrawfrom the UN immediately before they completely destroy our way of life!! Who needs them? They are welcome to keep Helen Clark as a parting gift from us!! Jim

*Too much govenment control inhibits living standards. Bob

*I'm sick and tired of theorists trying to influence the way we live and act. Brian

*Or at least modify their application to NZ appropriate laws. Colleen

*What a load of hogwash. Of course we have to look after the planet we call home but we also have to have employment. This is just a "headless chook" way of achieving it. Tim

*This smells just like ….. The New World Order, The Illuminati, The World Bank, The Bilderbergs etc etc ie Sneaky, Underhand and very Corrupt, a lot like our very own DoC who are already very well established and doing their very worst for all of us here in NZ. Tony

*The UN is surly pushing for global control. Joan

*Yes get the global government out if our lives. Tim

*Yes - but find one political party or local body council in New Zealand with the guts to even propose such a banning of Agenda 21. John

*All forms of social engineering should be outed for what they are. There may be the odd good idea in there but one needs to fully understand what's driving this agenda before embracing it. Philip

*Surely common sense must prevail! Con

*If the UN did what it was instituted to do, the problem in Syria could have been fixed ages ago! As they see themselves powerless where they are meant to operate, they have wondered into areas where fat-cats can get even fatter. Ted

*A no brainer really, but many NZ'ers as a result of decades of globally mediated and socially correct "science", education and popular media, have been taught not too think too deeply about anything. In the mean time, such things as foreign ownership of land and assets merely serve as acceptable distractions or means for social division and therefore continuing control. In contrast recent immigrants, who have learned not to trust the agendas of their native “socialist” governments, are far more patriotic and shake their heads at us in disbelief. Brian

*The following words from the Alabama legislation are an essential component of the rather simplistic reply called for in your question.
"The State of Alabama and all political subdivisions may not adopt or implement policy recommendations that deliberately or inadvertently infringe or restrict private property rights without due process". Victor

Former World Bank managing director Graeme Wheeler is to be the new
Reserve Bank Governor, taking over after Alan Bollard's second five-
year term expires on September 25, Finance Minister Bill English
said today.

Wheeler's selection as an outsider was a "notable move" and could
point to an agenda for more substantive changes at the Reserve Bank.

This week's poll asks:

Should New Zealand follow the lead of Alabama and ban all influence of the United Nations’ Agenda 21 from our laws and practices?

*Wake up Kiwi's before it's too late. Investigate Magazine June/July also has an article about it. Adrienne

*The only thing we need to take from Agenda 21 is control/reduce population growth, wealth sharing to prop up communities that cannot sustain themselves is a waste of resource, (how un PC is that!) the rest of Agenda 21 it is leftist dreamland stuff and would not be required if we slowed/reversed our “breeding” rate. John

*This is a whole life plan controlling our country, land, resources, industry, jobs, education, children, and YOU. Read Rosa Koire's book Behind The Green Mask and go to her website Democrats Against U N Agenda 21 Sustainable Development and we should remove from office any person in New Zealand perpetuating this plan. Rowena

*Do those fools at the UN not realise that without farming we all starve? The collapse of the former USSR showed that large scale socialism does not work. How many more failed experiments does it take to get them to see the truth? Kerry

*My son wanted to paint their new beach house a grey/blue. The town planner said no I (NB first person singular!) want you to paint it brown! Albie

*NZ is a small and isolated country with little if any significant impact on the global environment. Instead of blindly following and implementing the wishes of the UN, we should be developing our own policies to provide a better fitire for our country and its people. Charlie

*I have only heard references to Agenda 21 here, I am a permanent resident in the USA. News here is very localised and I listen to the BBC news and you get more good news from the BBC about this country. I find it almost un believable as to what national is getting up to and it is time for people to vote for what they want and not a party. Please get rid of MMP Purchase of land worldwide should be for bonifide residents and at best foreign can onle lease for a maximum of 25yrs before reapplying. Thats my point of view for this week. Graeme

*OF COURSE. Any sane Government would never have agreed to these conditions in the first place.
Failure to rectify this situation will in time, by political stealth, remove our freedoms, certainly our individuality; and impose a centralised dictatorship which will ensure that any opposition will never see the light of day, let alone a seat in the United Nations.
Agenda 21 was fostered by Helen Clark, no doubt it added to her C.V., its rules and regulations sanctioned by the then Labour administration, (and now by the National Government) without reference to what the Public of New Zealand thought or wanted. Another Nanny State imposition “For Our Own Good”!
Laugh away Lenin “You never had such an apathetic, lazy, or self centred people such as us, for your ideology to come into fruition.” In the dictatorial Agenda 21, we have the re-birth of Communism.
This country politically and internationally, is paying a huge price for the absence of a written Constitution and an effective Upper House, to provide necessary checks & balances on the power of our Politicians.
It is now time for a Right Wing Party (Not Act) to contest elections against the three major socialistic parties of Labour, Greens and the Maori controlled National Party. At the same time instituting an Anti Agenda 21 campaign to save what is left of our fragile democracy.
Perhaps in Alabama the South has risen again! Brian
