While Budget 2026 shows prudent short-term management, it falls short of the more ambitious structural reform needed to put New Zealand’s finances on a truly sustainable long-term footing. While the direction is positive, the trajectory is tediously and unnecessarily slow.
What is very clear is that New Zealand can no longer justify basing major national policies on a scenario that has now been formally rejected by the very international body whose advice underpinned our entire climate agenda. A full and immediate political reset is essential - one that removes these flawed “implausible” assumptions RCP 8.5 and SSP5-8.5 before they inflict even more damage on New Zealand households and businesses.
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 hunting for every opportunity to impose their controls onto an unsuspecting public.
With hundreds of thousands of voters still undecided, the 2026 election remains fluid. In an environment of ongoing global uncertainty, questions over economic security, political stability, and constitutional integrity are likely to dominate voter decisions.
Last month’s Roy Morgan poll delivered a warning to National - and its Coalition supporters. It showed support for National had dropped 4.5 points to 26.5 percent - its lowest level since the last election. National’s representation in Parliament would fall from 49 seats to just 33. That loss of 16 seats, would take out all five list MPs - Nicola Willis, Paul Goldsmith...
The Middle East crisis has not only disrupted global shipping routes and fuel flows; it has revealed just how dangerously exposed New Zealand has become. Unlike many countries, we entered this crisis having deliberately dismantled our refining capacity, constrained our gas supply, and imposed ideologically driven climate policies that deliberately increased energy costs throughout the economy. The end result is a country acutely vulnerable to global shocks.
The case not only demonstrated that the Crown was unwilling to put tikanga on trial, but it also highlights how the growing use of tikanga in the legal system is distorting outcomes and undermining the principle of equal justice. In fact, when cultural assertions are used to override clear evidence and established legal standards, the Rule of Law itself is being undermined.
When it comes to the mainstream media, the public wants balance – both sides of issues so they can make up their own mind. They do not want the current Orwellian world where truth is labelled as misinformation and those seeking to hold power to account are hunted down and cancelled.
The Royal Commission argued that if MMP was adopted the Maori seats must be abolished: “In the form of Maori representation we have proposed for MMP, there would be no separate Maori constituency or list seats, no Maori roll, and no Maori option. All New Zealanders would vote in the same way for the party they wish to govern, and for a constituency MP.”
In spite of claiming they are committed to equal rights and opposed to race-based law, the Coalition is not doing nearly enough to protect New Zealand from the threat of tribal rule. What they should be doing is removing the partnership doctrine – along with race and culture – entirely from the State sector...
