Having seen the disastrous influence of UNDRIP in Canada, the continued existence of the He Puapua framework that Labour put in place to implement the Declaration in New Zealand represents an existential threat to our future. It's time that threat was removed.
It cannot be too strongly emphasised that the body of the common law is predicated on the basis that it is written down in a form which is available to all New Zealand citizens and in that way is knowable in advance of any course of action on which a citizen intends to embark.
The BBC’s crisis serves to remind us that credible media isn’t a luxury – it’s a democratic necessity. We should not have to put up with biased media. Journalism should be independent, impartial, and balanced. Their mission should be to inform, not manipulate.
And by the way, as a member of the media, my faith in the BBC has been really eroded by what's just happened - not just because they sliced together two pieces of Trump's speech to make him say something he didn't say, but because they knew it and sat on it for so long.
Ngatiwai’s actions were unacceptable. Their breach of the law was a deliberate criminal act, which put in danger one of New Zealand’s most iconic reserves. They should be prosecuted with the maximum penalties imposed as a deterrent to others considering similar action.
New Zealand is no longer one people, but divided into two separate races, not united but ‘partners’. The full project of apartheid with separation of governments, rights, and laws has been set down the He Puapua report.
The picture of rapid and disastrous consequences of colonisation which is basic to many grievances that have been paid off by Treaty settlements and to continuing claims for special treatment is supported by questionable population estimates.
In the third decade of the twenty-first century, approaching 200 years since the formation of New Zealand, the country is divided by race; this ‘partnership’ is intended by its most determined supporters to result in apartheid, a dual system of government.
If the “Deep State” is defined as a power-base within a government that operates in pursuit of its own agendas and goals instead of those of the country’s democratically elected leaders, then New Zealand has a serious problem. Our public institutions have been captured by a form of cultural Marxism that embraces race-based identity politics and Te Tiriti social justice.
Community disillusionment over councils going off the rails was on full display last weekend as voters reshaped local government in the 2025 elections. Across the country, high-spending councillors were booted out and replaced by those promising more responsible financial management, greater community engagement, and increased accountability.
