In his 1985 book Shadows Over New Zealand, the former Communist Geoff McDonald revealed how the Maori Sovereignty movement was using Marxist strategies to gain power:
“Marxists understand that the key to destabilising New Zealand is to show how badly the Maori is treated. The big lie must be built up, until enough people believe it to enable the damage to be done. There is no Maori oppression at all. But that would not stop them from going ahead with their propaganda. Facts or truth have no relevance to Marxism. Anything can be said to help create the conditions amenable to the collapse of society. However absurd or grotesque the charges being made against white New Zealanders, if they are not answered they will be believed.”
That’s exactly how it played out. Over decades, separatists have gained positions of power and influence through division and deceit.
Key milestones in the seventies included the introduction of State biculturalism to divide New Zealanders by race, and the establishment of the Waitangi Tribunal as a permanent commission of inquiry into contemporary breaches of the Treaty.
A decade later, the Tribunal’s jurisdiction was extended to include already-settled historic claims, giving rise to the multi-billion Treaty gravy train.
The eighties also saw the establishment of separatist education through taxpayer-funded Maori immersion Kohanga Reo early childhood centres and Kura Kaupapa State schools.
This was the time the fabrication that Maori are a Treaty ‘partner’ with the Crown gained traction, with special Maori consultation rights and privileges included in the new Resource Management Act.
In the nineties, when MMP was introduced, instead of the Maori Seats being abolished – as recommended by the Royal Commission on the Electoral System to prevent an over-representation of Maori in Parliament – they were retained. As predicted, with 27 percent of MPs now of Maori descent, the reserved seats are discriminating against non-Maori New Zealanders, denying them fair representation in Parliament.
The early 2000s saw today’s multi-billion-dollar tribal business corporations granted a special exemption from the crucial ‘public interest’ test in charity law so they could gain charitable status and avoid paying tax.
By 2011, tribal leaders were on track to gain control of New Zealand’s entire coastline and Territorial Sea including ownership of the country’s priceless seabed minerals and veto rights over all coastal activities – and a decade later, they had co-governance of freshwater, health, and other public services.
As Geoff McDonald warned, New Zealand had become victim to a classic Marxist “march through the institutions.”
After the 2020 election, exercising unbridled power and revolutionary zeal, the Ardern majority Government’s army of activists within the State sector unleashed Labour’s He Puapua agenda for tribal rule onto an unsuspecting nation.
As the Maori language and culture began dominating public affairs, New Zealanders became increasingly aware that a tribal takeover was underway.
By then, all key institutions had been ‘captured’, including the public service and wider State sector, the courts, the mainstream media, and many private organisations – especially those associated with religion, arts, and culture.
It was in this context that the 2023 election resulted in Coalition parties promising to reverse race-based laws and practices.
As we approach the end of their second year in office, the question that is top of mind is whether enough is being done to derail the tribal juggernaut.
This week’s NZCPR Guest Commentator, the former Judge and Law Lecturer Anthony Willy outlines his concerns:
“In the runup to the 2023 election National, ACT and New Zealand First appealed to its voter bases and swing voters by promising to reverse this insidious destruction of New Zealand democracy and social norms as they had previously existed. It gave voters a stark alternative to Ardern Marxism in which she substituted separatist Maori interests for the ‘working classes’ and used those interests to destabilise the existing order.
“Our democracy is under threat from the notion of ‘partnership’ between the Crown and the descendants of a few tribal chiefs who signed the 1840 document. The academics and partially educated wokeocracy who advocate for this race- based society never pause to reflect that anybody seeking to destabilise any working political system in any of the dictatorships or theocracies including Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran would be found guilty of treason and punished accordingly.
“The Prime Minister is there to safeguard the institutions which brought him to power. It is his job to ensure that any threats to those institutions are promptly and firmly met by the necessary legislation and by publicly speaking out against them.”
These are strong words – and rightly so. New Zealand is now suffering the consequences of decades of political kowtowing to a vested interest group committed to subverting democracy and seizing power for their own enrichment.
As the former US President Barack Obama once warned: “Ethnic-based tribal politics has to stop. It is rooted in the bankrupt idea that the goal of politics or business is to funnel as much of the pie as possible to one’s family, tribe, or circle with little regard for the public good. It stifles innovation and fractures the fabric of the society. Instead of opening businesses and engaging in commerce, people come to rely on patronage and payback as a means of advancing. Instead of unifying the country to move forward on solving problems, it divides neighbour from neighbour.”
After fifty years of embedding racial privilege deep into the State’s legislative framework, tribal leaders are not taking the Coalition’s attempts to remove their leverage lying down.
And with such grave concerns swirling around, it’s easy to lose sight of the progress the Coalition is making.
Some of the obvious changes such as abolishing tribal control of water and health through Three Waters and the Maori Health Authority were actioned within their first 100 days.
Fulfilling other election promises is proving more difficult.
In December 2023, then Public Service Minister Nicola Willis was briefed on options to deliver the Coalition’s commitment to ensuring public sector agencies have their primary name in English and communicate in English.
Instead of adopting a blanket approach, the Minister’s more nuanced methods have failed in institutions populated by radicals.
It’s surely now up to the new Minister Judith Collins to hold those chief executives to account: either comply or resign.
With a Public Service Amendment Bill in front of Parliament and open for submissions until 31 August, the Minister has an ideal vehicle to not only deliver its purpose – eliminating Ardern-era identity politics from the public service by removing all references to “diversity”, “equity”, and “gender” from the law – but to reinforce the English language message as well.
This is an important issue for the Coalition because it has become symbolic of He Puapua for many New Zealanders who have had enough of being force-fed Maori language and culture.
As state-funded broadcasters, Radio New Zealand and Television New Zealand in particular need to be brought into line – and quickly for the sake of the Coalition’s credibility.
Another agency that has been radicalised and needs to reined in is the New Zealand Geographic Board, which is undermining English to the point of absurdity where many Maori language replacement place names are not only unrecognisable to the vast majority of New Zealanders, but also unpronounceable.
New Zealand First, which introduced the prioritisation of English into the Coalition Agreement, and remains concerned about the continuing use of “Aotearoa” instead of “New Zealand”, has drafted a Private Members Bill: “The ‘New Zealand (Name of State) Bill’ confirms that ‘New Zealand’ is our country’s official name, and it is only Parliament and the people, not bureaucrats, government departments, or officials, that have the authority to make decisions about the name of the country.”
Whether this will become a government initiative remains to be seen. If not, New Zealand First will carry it through to election 2026.
A key Coalition pledge to strengthen the Marine and Coastal Area Act to deliver what Parliament originally intended – namely a minority of successful claims in remote areas, instead ofthe entire coastline – is expect to become law in October.
While Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith is confident his amendment will produce the desired outcome, given it was derailed by activist judges in the Supreme Court, we remain concerned the process may continue to be sabotaged. Their latest bombshell decision to allow Maori to control the country’s major rivers justifies our scepticism.
Accordingly, the NZCPR will not only maintain a watching brief of court cases to ensure the new law delivers what’s been promised, but we will continue to call for Chris Finlayson’s flawed law to be repealed and the foreshore and seabed returned to Crown ownership.
Meanwhile, the Government’s review of legislation that includes “the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi” has identified 32 laws where such reference will be replaced or scrapped.
One of those is the Education and Training Act, which, along with changes to the education curriculum, is expected to finally halt the indoctrination of New Zealand children with Ardern-era He Puapua propaganda.
The Waitangi Tribunal, which has been radicalised to promote Maori supremacy, is also under review, not only to refocus its operation, but to add balance through new members.
In local government, while the right for communities to have a say on the establishment of Maori wards has been restored, locals will still need to work hard to ensure they are abolished in October’s referenda.
The Coalition, through their Local Government Reform Bill – which is open for submissions until August 27 – is refocussing councils on the basics by removing their need to take into account the social, environmental, economic and cultural wellbeing of their community.
Since recent Court judgements and legal opinions have clarified that local government is not the Crown and has no duties as a signatory to the Treaty, there is no requirement, for councils to accommodate Maori demands for ‘Treaty partnership’ agreements. Such privileges should be revoked, so councils can once again genuinely work in the best interests of their community.
It is hoped candidates advocating such action will gain a majority on new councils.
Although the Coalition is progressing resource management reform, the fact that “Recognising and providing for Maori rights and interests” is contained within their draft National Policy Statement on Infrastructure raises concerns that tribal groups will still be able to hold projects and the country to ransom.
Tribal engagement has become the biggest roadblock to progress in New Zealand.
The cost of race-based payoffs is now millions – if not billions – of dollars. If the Coalition is serious about growing our economy, they must free the country from this cultural insanity. All race-based consultation should be removed, including from fast-track legislation, National Policy Statements and the RMA replacements.
The point is this: After fifty years of appeasement, tribal groups have become powerful and dangerous. They see themselves as de-facto rulers, and if things don’t go their way, they do not hesitate to bully and intimidate, demand and threaten, and with very deep pockets, resort to legal action through a ‘captured’ court system, until opponents cave in.
Stopping the tribal takeover is what National, ACT and New Zealand First promised to do when they agreed to prioritise “Ending race-based policies” in their Coalition Agreement.
By “ending race-based policies” and expunging all references to “race” and “Maori” from our Statute books (excluding Treaty settlement legislation), New Zealand would join over half of all OECD countries that have adopted a similar “colourblind” approach.
As Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith reminded us recently, “The Crown is sovereign. The Crown is simply the representation of the democratic will of the people of New Zealand.”
Exercising their sovereign power and restoring democracy by eliminating race-based policies and ending the tribal takeover is what New Zealanders now need the Coalition to do.
Will National and Prime Minister Luxon step up to this challenge? If they don’t, their coalition partners will.

THIS WEEK’S POLL COMMENTS
| but they are far too slow in implementing what were pre election promises | Russell |
| not fast or far enough | Paul |
| To be clear, NZ is still heading in the wrong direction because the Government is failing to address the radicalism and separatism quickly enough. All the Government has done is slow the descent into the chaos created by the Ardern Govt and the other appeasement governments before it. It has not done enough, fast enough to turn NZ in a more positive direction. The current government needs to be bold, be clear, and take decisive action to stop the rot. Some ideas for them: 1) abolish the Maori seats, 2) Make Maori businesses pay the same tax as all other businesses, 3) Ensure all official documents (etc) do not pepper the text with Maori words that many do not understand – either put the Maori words in brackets after the English words or provide a separate, Maori-only version of a document. | Gary |
| As long as we have Mr Peters &Shane Jones & David Seamore in this coalition I believe that National Party will have the support to carry on & Get New Zealand back on Track !!! | Michael Andrew |
| I agree completely with sam`s comments.Well done,at last someone giving some answers and not just parroting on about the problems we all know are there but not providing any solutions. We have just been given a blueprint on where to start.The annoying part is the current govt will be aware of what is needed, they can’t be that thick surely. However to implement the above a new government is a must. So lets get together and execute stage one – wipe out moari wards in local govt. (this October)Thats a start then in the General election next year vote in an ACT / NZ 1st government. They can then start implementing Plansam. That would at least be a start. One country one people one language. And the name of that country folks is NEW ZEALAND. | Brian |
| but only very marginally. Too little and potentially too late. | Lynda |
| The coalition is moving (in the right direction) far too slowly! | Warren |
| The Treaty needs to be consigned to history and a true democracy re-established. One country, one people and one law for all. Stop all racial division and race-based payments. Each tribe and sub-tribe should be made to form companies in which all tribal members receive shares based on the amount of tribal blood they have. The more blood the more shares. Then every year they can have shareholders’ meetings, pay taxes and take their part in society. The ones at the top won’t like that!! For the first time in their lives a lot of maoris will receive financial benefits from the proceeds of their tribe’s treaty settlements!! | Gerard |
| We desperately need a leader like US President D.Trump instead of the woke, weak variety we seem to have here. He campaigned on what he would do in office and now he is delivering on those promises every day. | Monica |
| Got needs to stick 2 it’s promises 2 colour blind all legal and local body laws. Mouri seats need 2vb abolished. All people living in nz need to have the same rights under the law | Michael |
| they need to act more Quickly | MORRIS |
| I personably think John Key has too much behind the scenes involvement with the National Party. His involving NZ in the UN indigenous agreement has set a course not in NZ’s best interests. | Chris |
| Yes we are going in the direction BUT we are going to SHOW about it | Geoff |
| This coalition administration is taking the nation in the right direction, but very slowly. Too slowly. Luxon, and the entire National Party, are too timid and weak to confront moari. The PM and his party need to step up. Act and Seymour have a clear direction but the Nats hold them back. Lots of talk but little action. | Gavin |
| They’re going in the right direction but need go go harder | Colin |
| Generally but too slowly. They have left their budget balancing run too late, and too little to make a difference. Cutting back the overheads associated with Government spending now will only serve to upset marginal voters and the left. | Paul |
| They were heading in the right direction but seem to have stalled. I suspect Christopher Luxon is the reason | Jerry |
| Luxon/national is waiting for the economic cycle to improve to claim credit. Not leadership; and that is not fixing the real problem, it is simply waiting for an upturn in the cycle, which Countries/Governments no longer control. What the Government can control is the following: Reduce bureaucracy staff numbers by a third or 2017 levels. Reduce DEI. That is legislate against race based hiring, laws/ legislation that give effect to or consideration of the TOW, special groups, etc. Reduce red tape and regulation to free up business activity now. Remove the power of the Iwi Chairs Forum and any laws that requires a so called Sovereign Government to Consult, before doing anything. (continuing partnership myth) Increase productivity by reducing DEI, huge payouts for consultations, make it illegal for companies to pay special groups for power operating licenses to do business. Remove council maori wards and unelected peoples who hold up decision making. Remove the TOW Tribunal tomorrow. Make English official language within the public service and on all documents. Reduce MP numbers and the over hang by getting rid of race based seats. People voted to remove Maorification of the country, the division, the polarization. Distrust of Governments and institutions is huge. If National/Luxon was serious on fixing the economy he would start with the above. Business confidence would grow, people would feel united under one language, one flag and as one country on the rise. So Simple, yet nothing happens, why? They are Out of time. National/Luxon is tinkering around at the edges and will feel the effects at the next election. Ardern mastered the art of ramming through Radical laws, none of which National has adequately over turned fully, all still with maori oversight. ACT and NZ First may just get the opportunity next year to govern for change, then we will see if they are capable of strong and real leadership to make the real and meaningful changes to save the country. Doing the same over and over is insanity. National is too slow, they are stringing us along until the next election. | sam |
| but needs to take bigger steps faster | Chris |
| How about doing what they promised in the electioneering, like dumping He PuaPua | Denis |
| wrong direction driven mainly by luxon and the national party with NZfirst dithering on not doing what they both promised in getting rid of all this hori BS so its only ACT showing any guts to stand up to the separatists. now luxon has got into bed with hamas it shows he cant even remember the mass slaughter of many people enjoying life by a group of terrorists, hes lost the plot, not the PM of Israel who we need to sort out our bunch of no hoppers. | Richard |
| Yes – but far too slowly!!! | Ron |
| Only a little bit to the right direction. I’m not confident that they will ever complete the task. For instance, there is the need for this coalition Government including all future Governments to recognise that water is a vital element to human life, as is the air we breath, and as such can never be owned or controlled by any individuals or groups and can never be financially charged for. Water rates are in place to pay for the delivery infrastructure and the operational management. But not the water itself. Maybe the exception is if water is to be exported for financial gain. Then it probably should be taxed. | Garry. |
| Not doing it quick enough | Astrid |
| Luxon and the National Party are the handbrake. Luxon has to go. He is incapable of making decisions. | Alastair |
| The Civil Service ‘tail’ is wagging the Parliamentary ‘dog’, and has been doing so for many years. Luxon lacks the commitment, or indeed, the strength to correct this. He is not the man for the job, and should stand aside, after ensuring that his successor will not continue his kow-towing to his salaried staff! | TOBY |
| They need to do much more to protect the rights of ALL New Zealanders with high priority on preventing Maori’s from introducing tribalism. | Derek |
| but are not being forceful enough to implement change | Noel |
| in general yes,but too slowly for my liking.the cultural juggernaut needs its feet and legs taken to by a chain saw without appeasement of any kind. It is simple there is no place for race based anything,the words Maori and Pakeha should be excised from our language including all legislation. It seems hHe pua pua is steaming full ahead with most government departmental heads ignoring the advice to do otherwise.I guess they are the highly paid usefull idiots carl marx used to refer to. | gale |
| It would have helped if NZF and Nat supported Act’s Treaty Principles Bill. Luxon is pushing maorification and Potaka is his right hand man | Rose |
| They need to look at their election policies and make them law. | Don |
| It promised a lot more, but alas is too weak to do what needs to be done. New Zealand is for all inhabitants not just a selected few. | Frank |
| Personally, my gay Maori Husband and I are gonna love these changes for our new chinese and african orphans we bought | James |
| The CUNTry has gone so bad its worse i tought i couldnt get worese than the 1840 treaty of waytangi but luxton is so much worse than the LEftest commine in aus. | Bob |
| Right direction but a half arsed job. Luxon needs to man up and get some backbone and get serious about stppping this racial farce. | Richard |
| The problem is our PM – lack lustre Luxon! | Alan |
| they are gutless- all talk no do- all sycophantic globalist puppets, no better than the commie left. our votes are pointless | mark |
| National is the weak link in this coalition | Tony |
| its time to disestablish its Maori wards. | Jen |
| We need a strong and resilient government to remove all the race based policies as attempts by smaller groups are being met with serious intimidation | Alan |
| Unfortunately for many including myself the progress is too slow. The vociferous and biased voices of TVNZ Radio and other Government radicalised institutions need to be bought into line more quickly. | Jane |
| STOP stop stop Natioanal! | Maxwell |
| Luxon and his cronies bold face lied about what they would do once in power. Luxon is a follower of Ardern and Hipkins, he’s a closet labour supporter, and had no intention of stopping labour’s Marxist policies. | peter |
| But sadly needs to move quicker in removing all Tribal/ Maori from consultation, unelected Maori to councils & also government departments etc. Unless National does sadly Labour with its leftist partners will win the next election. | Derek |
| Yes but they need be firmer and do more in regard to eliminating race based policies and indoctrination from Government departments. | Peter |
| The Coaltion Government is hampered by National’s lack of courage or undercover socialism to change some vital rules. I have seen very little hard actions or results to bring us back to the “One People, One set of Rules” principle with the Crown to act on behalf of every citizen. Just huge amound of waffle and reviews. I won’t vote National or any other marxist, woke or racial activist party. | Leonard |
| The Government is NOT prioritizing Democracy | Ivan |
| They are falling at the race fence | Danny |
| They are not living up to promises made about agreeing to rid New Zealand of race based policies. There should not be any decision made that favour race, or ethnicity. | Elizabeth |
| Slowly and effectively – the biggest road block is Luxton. As a PM he is weak. | Mike |
| I would say Winston Peter’s, Shane Jones and David Seymour are…..NATIONAL PARTY needs to harden up and stop their own woke agenda. | Richard |
| BUT WAY TOO SLOW | Noel |
| If Luxon does not speak up and sort out all this maori BS National will suffer big time in the next election, my vote will be going to Act or New Zealand First | Robyn |
| National under PM Luxon are going in the wrong direction re maorification of everything and need to get on the same page as their coalition partners | Judy |
| The Coalition Government is toying with New Zealanders. Too many words that mean nothing. Too many distractions to avoid facing the tough issues. They need to just do it – make NZ a colour blind society. Btw health is still racist. On phoning Healthline on a Sunday 3,weeks ago, the recorded voice said press 1 if you’e Maori; otherwise leave a message & we’ll get back to you. Still waiting.. | Fiona |
| albeit more slowly than desired | Perry |
| They still don’t scrap the Extremists | Peter |
| they are just taking too long and being too gentle , they need to take it head on and make sensible hard decisions and most of the population will be onboard | DENNIS |
| But needs to do more and quickly | Gareth |
| in the right direction but it would happen a lot faster if National stopped being so woke & not wanting to upset anyone. We are a equal Maori have been paid out over & over again, It has to stop. As a country we will continue to go backwards financially & socially until a stop is put to all the marxest moarification of our great country. | Nigel |
| The direction is right, but the rate of progress is far too slow. Action is required now. | Peter |
| New Zealand is for all Kiwis | Stu |
| The National Party factor in the coalition seems determined to ensure very little changes as they have done in the past. Bolgers National had the opportunity to abolish the Maori seats. He refused to do so. Then the Key government signed U.N.D.R.I.P, & the Paris Acord. We the good citizens have been paying for that dearly ever since. Now the Luxon led Nationals are ensuring apartheid is entrenched by refusing to support the Treaty Principals Bill, that would have endorsed the ONLY principal, that is. we are now one people. Yet the voters still cling to the myth that National will make a difference.. | A.G.R. |
| THey have no idea | Warren |
| If Govt did what they promised,then that would be the right direction.As it is at the moment due to lack of action in the positive, itis moving in the wrong direction. | John |
| Going in the right direction but really need to move faster to halt the moarification of central / local goverment which are still pressing forward with their ideologies. | Nigel |
| But not fast enough! | Chris |
| its actually sickening, depressing and downright rude how we are forced to tolerate the appearance of maori words, greetings and signage everywhere we look. A mere few percentage have a hold on all governments and enjoying their reign. Please note that as my own protest, I do not apply capitals to those who offend every New Zealanders right to freedom. Warm regards to those Colonials who were asked to come to NZ to save some tribes who now show their appreciation by robbing the country blind. | Sharron |
| it seems the WRONG direction with dialogue boxes popping up at self checkout stations completely in maori so who knows what a shopper is clicking on!! Even the Asian assistant had no idea and had to use her key to bypass it. Luxon needs to grow a spine and stand up to these cultural bullies because thats all it is, outright bullying. | Sharron |
| The right direction but too slowly. | Kevin |
| But tooo slowly | Bob |
| The question would appear to be – is the coalition taking the country in the right direction fast enough. | Sandra |
| Seem to be going nowhere, a lot of talk and not enough do. | Sheryl |
| Treaty industry needs reigning in ASAP voters voted for change | Brenda |
| If labour gets back in next election New Zealand is doomed because they would need the greens and the maori party to govern | Owen |
| FUCINDA is another WEF WHO UN paid off crook | Greg |
| Not enough effort is being done on all the Maori nonsence and the spending is getting out of control. Labour was bad but sso is Nat. | Barbara |
| In the right direction but oh so slowly. They need to pick up the pace. | Chris |
| Democracy has only one sovereignty! More work needs to be done. | Frederick |
| Luxon needs to stick with his election promises, or stand down | Gary |
| Their promise was to dismantle separatism in the first term, this looks very unlikely at this stage? | marty |
| New Zealand 1st needs to be the Government. Luxton is too weak, and a fence sitter. | matthew |
| Although he is doing a good job towards fixing the economic damage done under Labour/Greens, why is our Prime Minister such a wimp on all issues Maori? | Glyn |
| too slow for my personal belief, but it’s a juggernaut ! | Geoff |
| Far too slowly in, my opinion. | CLIVE |
| But way too slow. Need to get going faster before the next election. | Graeme |
| Yes but National should have backed the treaty principles bill | Evan |
| Clearly National is not the leading light as I hoped it would be. Without its coalition partners it would be hopeless but sadly time and integrity is not their friend | John |
| Until they dismantle all the maorificatoin as they promised,they are most assuredly going in the wrong direction. | Ross |
| The country Name is New Zealand And all this Radical element Pushing Hard to Claim to control Every move and Push Maori Control Must Stop Now | leo |
| I backed the coalition to put right the Arden mess but it has totally failed to do so. No support from me for National hereafter. | Thomas |
| Its pretty bloody obvious that National and to a degree New Zealand First , are weak kneed parties . Too afraid to stir up the euro-maoris who depend on intimidation and thuggery to try and push their agenda .What shame the enlightened Kiwi are not demanding the real issues like maori infanticide ,violence etc is not called into question . The haka ,so used in many inappropriate situations , I assume baby Ru had a haka performed over him , also the American tourist beaten to death by 3 thugs ,2 of which have yet to be charged ,was not a haka performed over his unconcious ,battered body ??? Common kiwis stop this rabble from destroying our way of life . | Ray |
| National must step up,before it is too late. | Ann |
| NZ First and ACt are Generally in the Right Direction but National seems conflicted. | Valerie |
| Not anywhere near enough done yet | Rodney |
| Reversing the maori tribal takeover and maorification of EVERYTHING just not happening. National seems absolutely lost and completely absent in this area.. Mr Luxon needs to stand up or step aside. Winstone or David need to be our prime minister. National are not completing what they were voted in for and promised. If the other idiots get in next year we will all be departing NZ. Last New Zealander to turn the lights off and let the part maori tribal wars begin. | Kevin |
| Right direction … but the Public Service must be ordered to carry out the directives of their respective ministers instead of subversively ignoring them. | Tony |
| They don’t seem to be going in any direction to do what they promised. | Ian |
| Not enough as per their pre election promises. Luxon is either too weak, scared or wants to head in the same direction Helen Clark did. Look what I did to NZ so pick me for the UN! | Chris |
| At this time, I would mark the Government as no direction, marking time. Don’t wait too long | Ken |
| Luxon is a woose. Too afraid . to carry out the needed leadership. | Peter |
| BUT, I cannot trust the National MPs to give total support to this cause. I doubt that the PM has the gumption or desire to do what “is right”. | William Thompson |
| But not fast enough | Sue |
| I AGREE WITH MACHIEL UNLES YOU TAKE A STRONG APPROCH YOU WILL FAIL SO STRONG MEASURES ARE ALL THEY UNDER STAND NOT THE WISHY WASHY ATTITUDE THAT HAS BEEN SHOWEN SO FAR | ADRIAN |
| Yes, the right direction but so slowly it’s glacial and so slow they will likely lose the next election and condemn NZ to being the Zimbabwe of the South Pacific. | John |
| In the right direction but too slowly. One country, one people! | Pieter |
| At a far too leisurely pace | Kevin |
| I wasn’t sure the Coalition was doing much at all until I read your article, now I feel more positive about the way we’re going. | Sherrin |
| Luxon has let National supporters down by pandering to Maori. Get some balls and do what is good for the country. No separatism by race. One country, one people. David Seymour has the right attitude. He would make a great Prime Minister. | dianne |
| LET THEM GET ON WITH IT | Noel |
| There is insufficient change from the Labour train wreck. As long as it is lead by National coalition is too weak to deal with the apartheid policies and structures that have already become entrenched | Frank |
| Yes but the Coalition Government will need to get a move on as the next election is just around the corner. | Tom |
| Yes, in many respects but there is still too much equivocation, mixed messages and limp-wristedness. | John |
| but way too slowly, pussyfooting around issues that need fixing NOW! | Janine |
| Not strongly enough in the right direction. They also need to tell, yes Tell, the judges that the govt makes the laws, and it is up to the courts to uphold those laws. The Supreme Court is way out of line in my opinion | Gail |
| New Zealand had been steadily heading in a generally central direction until Ardern government altered direction to the extreme left. Theoretically we should move to the extreme right to counter the left heading but the coalition government is too afraid to make such a move. The result is that we now have a new centre which is between extreme left and what was the previous centre. Basically we are still way left and those who were slightly right of previous centre will now be deemed extreme right! | Martin |
| It is heading in the right decision but to slow don’t think National are strong enough, hope more will be done before next election | Denise |
| I cannot give a firm or definitive answer to this, because it depends on which party is driving the debate at any particular time. The National party seem confused, then NZ First give mixed messages as do Act at times. Therefore how can you accurately answer such a question. Therefore, in light of this, I answered, “wrong direction” | Peter |
| Only on the edges!! | RICHard |
| Far too slowly. National need to *MAN UP* or get out. | Richard |
| Read Anthony Wiley’s excellent article before you vote – The vote question is not clear to me. | Maurice |
| If National is sitting on the fence they should get of. If NZ continues to be directed by false ness, then we will get more of what we are getting.- Just when are we going to geet honest and tell the truth. | Maurice |
| Co-governance looks like it has been turbocharged. Luxon is weak and timid when confronting Maori. | Lindsay |
| Very slowly. | John |
| Right direction, but needs to move further and faster. The PM needs to read the room and make some clear policy statements about all citizens having equal rights. Why does no one mention that the Treaty changed maori to British SUBJECTS and as subjects they are subject to the laws and personal responsibilities of a citizen (subject) of New Zealand. The seditious claptrap we hear today arises from a modern reinterpretation and it is holding the country’s development back. | Francis |
| This question, which crops up in polls everywhere, annoys the heck out of me. There are two totally diametrically opposed viewpoints that might tick ‘wrong direction’. It needs to be followed up with a ‘why?’ to have any meaning. | Priscilla |
| Nats too weak, from the top down. Time for someone to step up. | Lawrence |
| Its started but is very slow. National is the handbrake. Luxon is being given bad advise on treaty issues by the people who run the National party. Be like Trump, get in there and do it now. Especially with Act and NZ1srst backing up. Go in hard and fast and show so leadership for once. | Peter |
| BUT they still need to go a lot further and smash APARTHEID in NZ. So far they have only taken baby steps. | Geoffrey |
| They are blind to the consequences of full scale initiatives and probably scared as well – but comfortable with their pay grade | Bob |
| They are taking the Radical Maori tree down by lopping off the branches instead of sawing it off at the base, and it’s taking far too long. | John |
| It is going to be interesting. .A lot of mumbo jumbo but not a lot of action | ROB |
| It’s a 50/50 call and is like they’re sitting on the fence at the moment. | Andrew |
| wrong direction by not de Maorifying widely. | steven |
| Not bloody fast enough though ! | Leon |
| Slowly unfortunately. | Hugh |
| Much has been achieved to reverse the previous government’s policy in Maorification We will be hopeful of the current coalition getting in for another term and able to continue the drive to correct this racially motivated backward direction for NZ | Murray |
| I just have one word, DEMOCRACY, All things must be voted on by ALL people | Ngaire |
| Right direction but not far enough or fast enough. | Vic |
| but far to slowly and politely. Iwi are polite and deceptive. Got their promotions with flattery and duplicity. They will never stop. Government has to decide what ALL New Zealand citizens deserve and stop pandering to Maori. They will never be satisfied. Oh and no maori is more than 40% maori blood. Give them under 40% of what they have now. Reduce ‘guilt-framed’ funding of maori demands. They have equal opportunity. | Margaret |
| The Coalition are taking the country in the rightish direction, but not fast enough and not decisive enough. I just wish they would get stuck in and abolish the laws allowing any maori/whitey division. Just cleanse the racist/gender crap out of all legislation. | Dianna |
| With Luxon in charge, I feel that we are in no way going to make the necessary changes to this culture of catching the gravy train. It needs to pull into the station and stay there. ALL Kiwis are in need at the moment. There should be no favour shown to one single group over others. | Heather |
| Progress is undeniably slow to the point that the maori tribal elite have total control of key government departments incl the courts and media and this can only create apartheid on a community not prepared for such atrocities’ | Neville |
| They are not doing what they promised Where are the changes in using Maori language as the dominant language in Govt dept names on buildings etc | DOREEN MARIE |
| we have lost confidence in their ability to deliver on their promises but wonder out load – what are the alternatives. | Paul |
| Wrong direction by not vigorously removing pro Maori.bias from all government services, incl state broadcasting. | Clive |
| However, The Coalition needs to implement all its promises regarding one rule book for all | Rod |
| It might be the right direction but there is still a long way to go. Like getting rid of the Waitangi Tribunal, as it was not supposed to be a permanent Tribunal – it is doing more harm than good and we are paying for it. It does not make sense. | Alister |
| National need to be more firm on maori issues and end treaty deals. | Jodi |
| NZFirst and ACT – yes National – no | Allan |
| I am not noting any improvement !! | Varina |
| The main issue for the Country is the ongoing and increasing of Maori wants and it will not stop until Politicians have the guts to say “NO”. This is Marxism and in latter times pushed surreptitiously by Jacinda Ardern. WAKE UP NZ !!!!!!!! | Alan |
| Not doing enough | Mary |
| But the glaciers will disappear first | LesW |
| Looks like more of the same to me. No noticeable change | Pete |
| The sooner the better! | Jane |
| Barely – Luxton needs to get tough on maori radicals & their gang members fellow travellers | Derek |
| Mostly in the correct direction | Ken |
| Right direction, but far too slowly. | Scott |
| Definitely in the right direction. National need to show that they have got some balls and stop trying to please the dreamers. | Ross |
| Floundering along with flip-flop Luxon | Chris |
| Wildly in the wrong direction by it seems an authoritarian anti Kiwi PM down a path akin to prior authoritarian leader and destroyer of NZ Ardern!! Whose paying Luxon to take New Zealand down into a racially divided anti New Zealand society? | Stuart |
| Too slowly to encourage enterprising people to stay. Very little hope for NZ unless real change is made | Glenn |
| They are not doing what the voters put them in there to do, if they don’t get on with it it will be “last one out turn the lights out”. | Ian |
| In the right direction only if they carry through on the Maori issues mentioned in this newsletter | Graeme |
| Although I have selected the “Right Direction”, there are many areas that this government is sitting on the fence so they don’t upset anyone but in fact they are upsetting most Kiwis as they are not taking a firm stance on many issues. Peter’s has realised that Trump has the right ideas and policies, which is making him very popular in the USA, and Peter’s has started introducing similar policies of the NZF. This explains why his popularity is growing. Luxon needs to grow some balls and dump the woke WEF influence and stand tall and give New Zealanders what they really want. | Richard |
| They promised to lead us out of Aderinism but after two years we see more of the same nonsense The bureaucracy needs a radical shake up or National will be out | Tony |
| Whilst there is some progress there is currently significant default on election promises made. National now look like a centre-left party. | Jon |
| National is not helping much at all with taking country in right direction though. | Margaret |
| They are very slow about it and if they don’t hurry it will be lost | Colin |
| They are following the WEF guidelines just as their handlers tell them to. None of them have the brains to figure it out for themselves let alone for you and me. | alan |
| The Coalition have had a halva mess economically to clean up they are working to ensure the Country has Democracy | Francis |
| Yes,but more speed with removal of Maori prevaledges & race based laws. | Peter |
| Too slow. They are gutless | Pam |
| More or less the right direction but much more need to be done to eliminate race based polices. So I would give them a 50% tick only. | John |
| Yes, but far too slowly. We are still being force fed Te Reo, billion dollar Maori corporations are still not paying tax, radical judges have now given customary title to Maori for rivers etc. that flow to the sea, and so it goes on and on. The National Party needs to find some intestional fortitude to stop the radical Maori takeover of our country – and quickly. | Peter |
| PM Luxon is so far left from his 2 coalition partners that he needs to step down and be replaced by a Person who has the Strength and Fortitude to stand up and deliver the key election promise all 3 coalition Partners campaigned on and that is remove race base policies and end the Marxist propaganda drive i.e He Puapua from our legislation if not NZ will descend into anarchy led by communist elite Maori- | John |
| The Coalition ois not honouring its pre 2023 election promises in respect of Maoridom. Frankly, I wonder who is running NZ and I’m starting to think it is not our elected Government. Maoris get control of our rivers? Really? Will they then be responsible for cost of clean ups when rivers flood? Pigs fly!!! | John |
| Right direction but not nearly far enough, or fast enough | Murray |
| Unfortunately Race is an issue | John |
| but needs to work faster on key issues | David |
| But not moving fast enough. Cut all news funding with news readers speaking only English for a start. None of those Maori phrases which nonone understands | Kay |
| Luxon is a weak appeaser & needs to be replaced by Chris Bishop. Nicola willis should have fired at least 16,000 public servants.We cannot afford them. Potatu, the man with a doctorate on how Maori should get more money from ratepayers & taxpayers has no place in the National party. Stop being tax slaves to Maori you suckers. | Bruce |
| Come on National get going throw out this Maori rubbish and The gravy train with treaty settlements Maori on councils | Ian |
| The National Party seem to be appeasing Maori. They should cancel the Treaty and make Maori realise we are all one people here in New Zealand. | William Clive |
| but too slaw | Gerard |
| It is the right direction, but is happening too slowly. | Bill |
| I think the coalition is trying to take the country in the right direction. I know they’ve got a lot of work to do, but for a lot of people, the changes aren’t being seen to be made fast enough. The reality is that a lot of these issues should be taken out of government hands and the changes introduced as a series of binding referendums. That way, everyone who is interested, will get to have an actual say in the democratic process. | Trevor |
| Not emphatically enough. Luxon and Goldsmith are weak and indecisive. See are losing the battle. | Graeme |
| The 3 Way Coalition is not working. There is much dissatisfaction through out the country and no clear path ahead, New Zealand has become a very sad counrty. | Colleen |
| Not realising how fast we are being racially divided with tactics to force Maori into controlling positions of power in all Ministries of Government | Pauline |
| Too much Hui not enough doey. Same could be said for a lot of the bigger private conpanies in NZ. How much of our ridiculous price increases for energy and services can be attributed to money being wasted on DEI programs including Maori wonderfulness? I’d guess the costs if added up would be eye-watering. | Dave |
| Luxon is ‘not for turning’. It becomes obvious from everything he has done that he is a closet socialist and needs to go. Unfortunately most of the rest of the NATs are much the same. They will be trounced at the next election. Let’s hope there is enough votes for the rest of the coalition to keep the lunatics out of power. | ken |
| I think it is trying to but going too cautiously. Enough won’t be done by the next election. | Hilma |
| They need to do it more quickly and not give in to the activists and radicals. | John |
| Economically the Government is turning the ship around to the right direction however more needs to be done to get rid of the Maori crap and treating everyone as equals. As far as the language is concerned English is the official language and any Te Maori reference in any Govt documents or Departments should be removed. There is absolutely no benefit whatsoever in ramming made up Maori b/s language down our throats. Also whilst I am about it WE LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND. End of story !!! | Allan |
| Way to WOKE, WEF, WHO, WMF, Wickedly opposite to West! | Graham |
| Luxon doesnt want to know. Willis is incompetent. | rod |
| Wrong decision re separatism and racism towards all non Maori persons in New Zealand. In all areas. | Charlotte |
| Luxon is the problem by feathering his nest for a future job in the WEF. He is weak. | Steph |
| The coalition continue to appease iwi and the theft of hard earned taxpayers money to fund the grifters who contribute next to nothing to grow our GDP. NZ Inc has slid down International GDP rankings since the Waitangi Tribunal was established in 1975. There is a correlation between the two events. | Chris |
| they need to get going faster on what they were voted in for. | chris |
| I do not think that they are strong enough. They do not have the guts to do what Roger Douglas did for example, so we will have a soft approach and the next election will show us bereft of strong leadership from the right and so we will fail as a nation. | Ray |
| The right direction guided strongly by NZ first and SCT. National need to grow a spine. | Mark |
| By Hugh Perrett An outstanding article / paper. It might be argued that the Coalition is taking the Country in the right direction. My argument is that they are NOT going anywhere near far enough , and that they are unquestionably NOT carrying out their election-time undertakings / promises to totally rid us of Maorification as imposed on us by the deposed Labour coalition government. They are falling well short of meeting those undertakings / promises. Having requested the Treaty , Maori ceded sovereignty FOREVER to the British Crown in the Treaty of Waitangi and signed up to equality of citizenship before the law – the outcome of which , resulting directly from those mandates , was our democratic system and our democracy. There is absolutely no reference in the Treaty to any form of partnership between the Crown and Maori and nor would the British Crown have ever contemplated such an arrangement with an assortment of quite separate , widely dispersed and unrelated warring Maori tribes , who had approached the Crown for a Treaty providing them with the Crown’s protection from their ongoing genocidal inter-tribal warfare related to inter-tribal competition for the ever increasingly depleted scarce hunting , fishing and gathering resources. Today Maori continue to twist and misinterpret the meaning of the Treaty to try and increase their power and control in our society . Government has a responsibility to stop this movement dead in its tracks and to enforce the mandates in the Treaty signed up to by Maori . They must avoid tokenism in carrying out their election undertakings, and act firmly and decisively to totally rid us of Maorification, as they promised to do . Quite simply the moves they have indicated to date do not go nearly far enough to meet their election-time undertakings and the needs of the Country. | Hugh |
| And it will stay that way until all members of the Coalition get a backbone and enact what they promised to do. | Ian |
| But not fast enough there’s only 12 months to go before the election | John |
| WE HOPE FERVENTLY THAT THIS GOVT. IS TAKING US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION! PLEASE LET THIS BE THE CASE! | Sylvia |
| If only NZ First had more power to get things done, I don’t have much faith in the other two parties, particularly National and Luxon. If only we were a republic..that would sort a few major issues out. | Salsa |
| Unfortunately the Nats don’t seem to have the leadership to take a stand against the Maori elite. It’s a terribly difficult issue! | Hilary |
| But too slowly!! | Carol |
| But still not doing enough | Paul |
| not far enough | Des |
| They are but far too slowly and I don’t trust that twit Luxon little owe his attack dog Tama potaka.If they wish to win the next election they had better get on and have the maori seat in parliament abolished and the Waitangi tribunal shut down. | Sydney Harvey James |
| They need to stick to their pre election promises that we voted for | Stuart |
| They nead to up there game and do what was promised they are just fiddling and pretending it’s way passed time Luxton actually did something to show who is actually running the country | Peter |
| Generally the right direction | Ihaia |
| They have waited too long to slap the knuckle heads of Govt Departments and schools who continue to ignore the instruction to desist. Instead schools I once attended have had their correct English names replaced by Maori words. I have know idea what the Maori words mean. These school have been easy captures in the push for Maorification in NZ. Media are the biggest pushers of Maori language. They use terms in recent months with increased frequency whilst replacing the corrent English words at the same time. It’s not cute and nor is this desirable. Mixing up the two languages is a fool’s errand. | John |
| Right direction but should do a lot more. | Des |
| colour blind is the only way forward. Absolute NO to any kind of race based funding from tax payers | Brian |
| The seperatism nonsense must be overturned | john |
| Too much talk and no action | Evan |
| Only if they stick with the promise to nullify tribal influence | Allan |
| It will take time | Mike |
| My concern is to Maori intimidation especially with the forthcoming Local Body elections and Maori seats. One only has to see what they have done to Hobsons Pledge. | Judith |
| Right direction if ever so slowly. Luxon worries me as not sure what side of the fence he’s sitting. | Lawrie |
| Luxon is not bold. enough! What kind of a leader is He?? | Dominique Greenslade |
| The coalition sucks big time particularly the National Party component. Wokeness in abundance is them, Luxon is wet woke and weak personified. National have failed to dismantle the BS foisted upon us all by the previous evil socialist government of fools and liars. National has given us another version of socialism gone mad in the form of labour party socialist continuity and weakness. National has failed to remove the racist nonsense that continues to plague our society. They continue to spend like drunken sailors borrowed money and our hard earned tax dollars on ludicrous nonsense especially on the absolutely bloated public sector of left wing losers. Continuing the globalist “climate change con” and remaining in the Paris Accord is stupidity in the extreme. Continuing to fund the captured UN is another failure. To cap it off National’s antisemitism and outlandish support for Hamas terrorists makes me want to spew. I voted National at the last election and now feel betrayed and cheated. | Richard |
| HOPEFULLY THE RIGHT DIRECTION”’ BUT IF THEY ARE NOT THE COUNTRY IS STUFFED. IIT IS NOT ONLY THE SPINE THAT SOME MP’S ARE LACKING, GOD DEFEND NZ!!! | Bruce |
| some things right but not enough | Colin |
| Needs stronger action. Cut the useless activists in Govt from their jobs. | Murray |
| more action is needed to one people in all things | Warwick |
| But far too slowly. | Megan |
| The Coalition Govt is moving very slowly and selectively towards fulfilling its agreement with Act and NZ First to – ‘Remove co-governance from the delivery of all public services, which must be prioritised on the basis of need not race’, and that ‘all NZealanders are equal before the law.’etc. Before the election, the PM and National promised to remove all race-based privileges for Maori , to uphold our Democracy, and that is what we expect of them. With the MACA legislation about to be progressed, maybe this is an indication that at last they are getting the message, and will stop trying to appease radical Maori, and move forward at pace to fulfill their promises to us. | Mary |
| In the right direction but not quickly nor conclusively enough | Paul |
| They have not removed all race based policy and privilege from laws. They have not stopped the maori takeover of NZ. They have failed to recognize that racial division is the number one problem NZ has, not the economy. That is why the majority no longer have faith in the government. | Koreen |
| Much more needs to be done to stop the increasing separatism. Mr Luxon is sabotaging efforts by his unwillingness to make the tough calls needed. | Mark |
| Very slowly and needs to speed up and get what they promised done before the next election. | Greg |
| The government needs to step up and take the initiative as the two junior coilition partners are proposing. It is all too slow. | Gerry |
| Right direction but far too slowly. The last election created a voter mandate. Two years in, the impression is one of weakness and intimidation. Hard decisions are needed and faster. And the weakness stems from Luxon and National. Lead strongly from the front. We are still waiting for the Commander in Chief to appear. | DAVID |
| Right direction but too slow | Graeme |
| Luxton needs to step up to the plate very soon!! | Roy |
| But not nearly quickly and boldly enough !!!! | Andy |
| more right than wrong | nev kath |
| They have had ample opportunity to rectify some of Aderns socialist woke policies but they do not seem to have the gonads to it! | Bill |
| Some things still need to be corrected so that all New Zealanders are treated equally and without any special rights or privileges provided to a minority on a race-based manner. | Sue |
| They are heading in the right direction – but not quick or far enough. More urgent than the economy is Dismantling separatism – for his own survival PM luxon needs to get on with it. | Trevor |
| In the right direction in some aspects, but not as much as what was campaigned upon and not fast enough. They will be punished in the next election if they do not move more quickly. | Sylvia |
| Right direction but far too little and too slowly | Bruce |
| It is far too slow and timid | malcolm |
| (My wife and I are learning TeRro) Luxon isn’t complying with the Will of the People in bashing back brown supremacist part-Maori to a deserved opprobrium and mediocrity. | Peter |
| Very much Wrong direction! | Murray |
| Its the right direction – but not near far enough or fast enough. Legislation must be passed to remove the tools of judicial activism. | davidf |
| Too much control by a stupid nat ‘leader’ | mike |
| It is not being forceful enough in ensuring their pledges at the ballot box are fulfilled. | ALASTAIR |
| I hope EVERYONE emails Judith Collins @Winston Peters @REMIND ACT that they PROMISED to get rid of ALL maori policies like OVER 1/2 othercountries have done. | Cindy |
| I’ve put right direction but I really think it’s 50-50. Half right, half wrong | Marilyn |
| Whilst Luxon was given a mandate, he has failed to address any of the root causes so he’s squandered the opportunity to redress what has been done to NZ & continues to plague our country. | John |
| But, not all the directions they are going are wrong. | Liz |
| But they are not moving fast enough in all directions of concern | Gerald |
| Only just, more needs to be actioned regarding the apartheid that we have at present. Comments made by the PM regarding Palestinians doesn’t help either. | Trevor |
| Soon we should see the results of the Coalition policies ! Very soon I hope ! All these polls are meaningless so far out from the next Election? | Andrew |
| BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH | Colin |
| There is a lot of rubbish to untangle and good things take time. I hope one more year is enough. | Rob |
| They are moving in the right direction, but at a snails npace. Luxon needs to grow some balls & put an immediate end to all of this racial agenda. David Seymour seems to be the only one with a backbone & be willing to nactually try to do something. | David |
| We once were a united country. NOW after the Labour Parties moving towards separatist police and manipulation of policies and the greater share going towards Maori support and help (ie. Maori get free doctors and Hospital treatment yet a european person PAYS….) | Carl |
| Could be faster | Evans |
| The train is leaving the station – hours late – needs to get up to speed and get things done. | Peter |
| Part way! | Owen |
| The coalition needs to expediate and act on their promise to wind back the Maorification of New Zealand. One country, one people. | Peter |
| The Govt need to slash overheads. Bureaucrats are increasing instead of decreasing. Stop the apartheid departments. Even dare I say it the number of MPs. | Neil |
| This question often appears in polls, but it doesn’t define what ‘rignt’ and ‘wrong’ are. Do the people who think it’s’ wrong’ support the opposition’s direction? | John |
| I’ve said ‘right’ because it’s massively better than the opposition. However, National needs to start pulling their weight and make more and faster progress on their campaign promises. | Faye |
| Needs to stop catering to the Maoris. NZ First and ACT must be listened to. | Ann |
| digging out of the hole left by the Adernists takes time. It’s a deep hole. | John |
| Principally driven by Luxon and his ilk and primarily with respect to race relations. | Vic |
| It is not taking NZ in any direction at all but rather sittings on its hands and doing very little to bring NZ back to a fully democratic state and removing all race based policies, and the list goes on. | Kevin |
| Who really knows, there is so much undermining of promosed legislation going on, that the system is sluggish. | DICK |
| National (Luxon) is not stepping up to end this Maori separatism, sovereignty and unelected power once and for all. He pays more attention to the activists and whingers than his core constituency. I’mgoing back to NZ First or Act next election | Mike |
| If the media would give them a fair go the true worth of the coalition would be recognised. Hard competing with a bunch of left leaning socialists | DAVID |
| Yes,, it’s going in the right direction but not nearly fast enough. It is imperative that anything race-based is deleted from legislation. The Maori Seats must go as there are many in Parliament today who have part Maori ancestry. If Luxon doesn’t gain a spine and do what’s right for the country National will lose much sujpport. I’m sure both NZ First and ACT will pick up lost supporters but it would totally ruin our country if Labour, the Greens and TPM took the reins again. Nothing based on race should be the cry of everyone – an end to all race-based legislation is the only way our country can be great again. | Helen |
| They could be a lot more decisive and move at more speed before it is too late | David |
| The Coalition Government is no different from the Left. Both are the enemy of freedom and equality. | Grant |
| ECONOMICALLY: So-so progress. It’s very difficult to reverse and / or recover from as much damage as was done by the previous government. So for that you need a second and preferably third term. But will this be achieved? DISMANTLING SEPARATISM: Failure to meet election promises and very poor progress. Where do those of us who voted National but find the left dangerously abhorrent, go? Answer: ACT or NZ First. National seems oblivious to this risk. | Tony |
| The right direction is not enough,the road-blocks need to to be removed !! | Henk |
| They are doing ok in some areas but to slow and not broad enough | Deanne |
| Our primeminister just has to find the resolve to get rid of the rubbish from the opposition paties | William |
| I think the problem is they are taking us in NO direction. Many oppurtunities to sort race based policies have not been taken. There is lip service, but no action. Let Judith takeover. She has been adamant she would sort it but is under the boss’s veto! | steve |
| Slowly… | Mark |
| Need more done on separatism. | Jill |
| The right direction but at too slow a pace. | Robert |
| But far to slow. By now they should have made progress on up holding democracy and shut down tribal demands for control New Zealand. Winston and David have proven they have a spine, unfortunately Chris has not. | Heather |
| We also need a definition of who can claim to be Maori . It should be based on genetics NOT mental views. So many individuals who claim a smidgen of Maori genes claiming to be Maori because of a Great Great grandad’s genes mixed with a myriad of other cultures genes is simply trying to belong to the gravy train. | Stan |
| What the hell?? Where’s this coalition honoring its pre-election pledges to be ridding our dear country of Maori separatism? | Tony |
| Too slowly though | Geoff |
| The doctrine of seperatism rather than that of one unified nation still prevails. | Margaret |
| Yes but not strongly enough, or fast enough, they have only one more year to get it right before the next election. If we don’t get them back for another term NZ is in deep water. | Velma |
| Because Mr Luxon is too frail in the leadership to take these things by the curlers and be firm in stopping this Maori rot takeoverwhich serves no purpose whatsoever. | Gaynor |
| too slow | terry |
| Just make it a bit faster please. Go back to past names, logos and trademarks and save money so more finance to get on with the job of getting NZ back to a democratic country. | Jakz |
| yes and could be faster and more radical more democratic e.g. abolishing Chief Executive function in District Councils and redefining Districts to Provinces | Robert |
| Time is quickly running out for this government to stop it all before its too late. | lyn |
| only ACT and NZF are taking the country in the right direction! National have bowed to the minority and more left | Laurie |
| I think the government’s intentions are good however they are not following up on directives. I. E English names before Maori names in hospitals to name just one example. | Jason |
| Luxon is following the’ herd’ -the U.N. He is not an independent thinker, but typical of politicians he does not want to offend our trading partners and is following the ‘politically appropriate’ but wrong policies like those on climate change, pro -palestinian, etc. | Harvey |
| Until Maori are removed from government policy , consultation with iwi etc this country will;never progress. The example of a man trying to build something to do with power in Taranaki had 36 iwi he had to consult payingbeachn$10,000. Whomwouldvwant tomstart a business in New Zealand. Luxon needs to wake up, read the room, inform himself and do what he was voted in to do. He is the biggest obstacle to fixing this country. | Gail |
| ACT are doing the right thing mostly but are still supporting settlements based on no evidence. National are following the Labour manifesto. Whatever happened to doing what we voted them to do aye ? | Trevor |
| There are still sneaky backroom Deals being done with the Marxist Part Maori Activists and if this current Governemnt wants to remain in Power then change direction NOW !! | Geoff |
| LabourLite is not acting hard and fast enough to root out tribalism. We are only one election from the tribalists implementing the apartheid coup. | Anon |
| I don’t think they’re doing very much at all. | Steve |
| They are taking the right direction but must speed up the process that gives equality to everyone, No more pandering to people who claim Maori ancestry. | Steve |
| Sort of right direction but certainly not far enough or fast enough. Think the activist PM is the stumbling block. National definitely NOT doing what they promised pre-election. Still don’t think the majority of New Zealanders are really awake to the danger of what is happening. | Lee |
| The promises they made to stop the Maorification of New Zealand turned out to be empty. The are all strangers to the truth once in power. What we need it a new style of Government, something like they have in Switzerland where people do get a say in how our country is run. There should be a finite time for elected members, perhaps a 10 year limit. | Bev |
| The government is doing some things very well while other things are very bad. | Paul |
| It is very slowly starting to turn but it is far too slow. | Glenda |
| There is very little impetuous shown by National to end-race based policies. Act tries but is not supported by National and NZ First to trhe extent they should be. | Robyn |
| National under week Luxon have not meet their commitment as they promised during their election campaign and have let all New Zealanders down by not fronting up in reducing Maori control on all issues regarding the public sector and forcing more Maori on the public. Only NZ First good old Winston and ACT with Seymour that any progress has been made. When you look at the latest Polls National are the loses and their finance minister is is not reducing Government spending so all in all we are in the POO | Ken |
| … slowly, and not with the required conviction … | shane |
| It’s a hard one to answer as some movement is right but yet no movement in other concerns are still not happening. Luxon needs to read this article Muriel and start showing the right decisions. | Jacqueline |
| But not far enough. | Brian |
| They are moving far too slowly to remove race based favouritism. For the long term benefit of all New Zealanders, it needs to stop, putting us all on an equal footing. | Philip |
| I remember a time when NZ was an up and going positive country. Now it is clouded in a fog of racism and nasty agendas. The coalition is not moving fast enough and Luxon needs to put on his big boy pants and do what is right for everybody and the country itself. | Sharon |
| too slow and too soft with legislative changes required | Bernard |
| But they are not doing enough, and appear frightened to accelerate the process of eliminating the Maori racial bias for fear of being called racist and also the violent reaction they will get from Radical Maori | Allan |
| But National should be more posiitve and perhaps appoint a better Finance Minister | John |
| They are too slow at making change. | Tash |
| Some good achivements. But too slow on dealing with dismantling separitism. | James |
| Far too slowly, Nats are nearly as bad as Labour. | Bill |
| It’s actually hard to know! Act and NZ First are definitely on the right track but National – led by an increasingly ineffectual Chris Luxon are too slow and seemingly too reluctant to effect the changes required. The longer the activists hold sway and the ease with which individuals can claim to be maori for the purpose of hand outs, the more difficult will be the restoration of a true Democracy. | Bruce |
| But not enough. More needs to be done. | Christine |
| Do we have a better choice !!! | Kenn |
| It is essential to verify facts rather than relying on what the media reports. If I listened to mainstream media, I might vote ‘No’ on this poll, but after reading widely and considering common sense, I vote ‘Yes’. | Barbara |
| certainly trending in the right direction but not fast enough and not enough of the strong decisions that need to be made over so called co governance | john |
| But only hesitantly and unconvincingly! | John |
| But much more could be done to end race based policies | Ken |
| Hopefully this Coalition Government is on the correct policies to maintain One Nation and One Person One vote.& stop this two tear population advancing anymore . | Michael Andrew |
| This National Coailition ,is not working together to protect the rights of ALL New Zealanders. PM Luxon is handing New Zealand over to tribalism by doing nothing to challenge NZ Maori’s increasingly violent, anti-Democratic stance and its He Puapua defined ambitions. to gain CO-GOVERNMENT.. | Phil |
| The jury is still out. They’ve done some good things but taken us backwards in others. Luxon is too timid. The time is well and truly here that we get the Maori Marxist foot off our throats and get the country moving forward. Wake up Kiwis. | Geoff |
| I want separatism stopped, determinedly stopped and the insidious and increasing activism in central and local government stopped. | Peter |
| With some omissions they are but there is still not enough being done to reign in some of our over zealous activists who occupy government agencies and media. There is only one way to achieve this and that is to apply strict direction as to those who continue to push their agenda. | chris |
| But too slowly !! | Geoffrey |
| Right direction, but too tentavely. | Tony |
| There is a lot of talk from this govt but they need clamp down hard on the racists policies that still exist | Shane |
| Not taking the country quick enough in the right direction | Ted |
| Election promises seem to be window dressing and cosmetic tweaking. How genuine are these accoutrements? Wake up to make up. | Eileen |
| Hi jacked themselves. | Phil |
| Too slow. Stop pussy footing around. The Country may only get this one chance to right the ship. Get on with it and make some real change for the sake of the majority. | Gary |
| Keep going | Doug |
| Considering the mess and debt that adearn, robinson and “Nappy’ left to be sorted the coalition is trying its best to get N.z. out of the debt hole we were tipped into. Previous Lab Govt unwilling to stand and be counted now for their actions. | mike |
| The promises of dealing with all race based policies needs to be accelerated or the next election may not go well for Mr Luxon . He needs to show very strong leadership on these issues. | Heather |
| Due to Luxon Willis and National not living up to pre election promises ,Grow a spine National | Phil |
| I think they have made some good progress but it could be more and faster if the PM has more courage and will to resist Maori pressure and do what’s right for NZ. | Brenda |
| The way this Govt. is going is paved with good intentions , but as I said before, when you deal with radicals you have to apply radical measures. This is the only language they understand and respect. There is no middle ground. Either you appease or oppose. As long as this simple principle does not sink in , we will continue to go downhill. And dorks like Luxon and his ilk have to be replaced with capable individuals who do understand this and act accordingly. | Michael |
| only just….. its a.. l o n g road to freedom and its only just beginning. | Gill |
| The coalition won’t change bugger all by slow walking the process. Is it laziness or stupidity? | Rex |
| They need to stop the maorification of everything which we all thought they were going to do | Lyn |
| The coalition was voted for to get rid of all this Maori rubbish where ever it is. This includes the waitangi tribunal. It is not happening. | Elaine |
| Yes | Murray |
| economically might be OK, but the society direction is wrong. | JAMES |
| It probably needs to change slowly as many people who claim to be Maori are highly emotional and aggressive. Just looking for a fight. Being part of the Maori gang gives them a sense of connection, brotherhood. Logic as you said doesn’t work. Gently gently may be the only way. | Kirke |
| Yes, however they are struggling against the embedded wokeists in the government burocracy. | Donna |
| Not doing what they were voted in to do and that is change the maorification of govt departments and use of tereo in media production. There is still too much of it and the coalition has not done enough. On the economic side of things, it is a huge task for any govt to correct a cost of living crisis and deal with outfall,of the previous inept govt. It is a task that I don’t think can be achieved. Making tereo compulsory in schools also is breach of promise to national voters, get tougher on the treaty and the Maori party. | Peter |
| The govt is slow to act | John |
| this will not stop until NZ recognise we have a TREACHOURS TRAITOR as our Primminister and take him out!! | william |
| When the Govt .Minister of education still condones Te Reo to be taught in schools and Maori Iwis are demanding land back because they owned it before hand and trees and Mountains have spiritual meaning The Maori rort still continues worse than ever. | Wayne |
| Inasmuch as more needs to be done as per their Coalition Agreement | Heather |
| Not doing what voters thought they would do. | Graham |
| In the context of this newsletter this coalition is taking NZ in the wrong direction | Simon |
| But they need to work harder and faster on it, or the next election will be upon us! | Sue |
| A matrginal call. The Coalition is doing too little and unless decisive action is taken, hey will fail and hand the country to the radical left and backwards for centuries. | john |
| BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH OR HARD ENOUGH!! | JOHN |
| BUT too slowly, and too haphazardly!! | Tim |
| Luxton needs to implement true democracy instead of his weak knee’d sucking up to the PART maori activists and bludgers. | Bruce |
| If National don’t do something to stop this racial divide soon ie before the election they will not be the next Government. | Stuart |
| The coalition is moving in the right direction,but far to slowley, it appears that national/Luxon is holding up the reforms that are badly needed. | Grant |
| I ticked right direction but, reaslly it is only just that way because the National Component of the Coalition (especially leadership) is weak and reluctant to deal with the issues New Zealanders voted the Coalition to do. | pdm |
| Some what ,but they get sidetracked | John |
| But too slow!! | Jenny |
| need to go harder and faster though !! | Andrew |
| The coalition is being incredibly slow at reversing Maorification and separatism. | Steve |
| 50% right 50% Wrong | Ewen |
| PM is gutless and inexperienced and must go we running out of time | Thomas |
| But could do better. More has to be done to stop the takeover that is still happening every day. | Betty |
| Definitely heading in the right direction, but far far too slow. National has lost my votes to NZ 1st and Act. Hopefully they will be the next major parties in next years election. | Allan |
| We are heading in the right direction but too slowly. | Andrew |
| The damage being done to this country is huge, all race based legislation must be removed IMMEDIATELY | Gareth |
| ” Tribal takeover ” of New Zealand must be busted before the next election once and for all. Otherwise there is no way back. | chris |
| Right direction, but very slow on the democracy side of things and the time is ticking down, they cannot sit back and rely on getting back into power and then have a go at doing it later. it needs to be done NOW and by acting on it now will give them much more voting power than leaving it. It’s time to stop dragging the tail and crack on and get the job done. ( less talk more work ) | COLIN |
| The country has been captured at every level by Marxism, Separatism, Maoism, etc. The freedoms to be productive have been systematically removed. Nothing is achieved by merit any more. The Coalition Govt has not done much, if anything to address this State Capture and the entitlement and reciprocal resentment that it breeds. Widespread corruption is the natural result. | Cameron |
| I’m also sick and tired of having the Maori language rammed down my throat on the radio. The country is called New Zealand and the majority language is English. Stop the tribal invasion, they have had billions of taxpayer’s money to fight against anyone who does not follow their opinions. The worst thing that happened was Jacinda Ardern. How does a communist come to accept a Damehood, talk about self serving, double standards. | Laura |
| But not obviously enough. | Jill |
| The PM needs to be more concise and lead rather than his continued sitting on the fence approach in case of offending. Although they are creeping in the right direction there are not enough decisive decisions being made and carried out with regard to the elimination of apartheid in NZ and Maori takeover | Lorraine |
| The Crown is sovereign. The Crown is simply the representation of the democratic will of the people of New Zealand. So, the democratic will of the people is to blame for New Zealand becoming an apartheid ethnostate then, Goldsmith? Who exactly is the Crown? The King, City of London Corporation or Parliament? Sovereignty always and ever lies with We The People and not with or within a corporation. (An artificial person or dead entity.) | neil |
| The Coalition is the best option to rid NZ of the race-based nonsense that is still evident. | Sandra |
| Needs more deletions of maori special mentions in existing laws and acts and total omission from future ones. Fast track isn’t fast enough and there should be e referendum on the maori seats in parliament. If it’s good enough to have a vote on council wards it should be the same for maori seats. | Alec |
| If they were fulfilling their election promises. they would be moving in the right direction. They are not doing this. Separatism is definitely moving in the wrong direction. National also stresses the need to fix the economy, while putting NZ deeper into debt! | Rod |
| Over looking many issues | Hone |
| The government is not doing what they were elected to do | Gavin |
| While the policies of the green party are anathema to me, Swabrick’s recent comments abour our spinless MP’s does resonate in part with me but not for the reasons she cited. I’m starting to think our national party MPs are becoming invertebrates with regards to the maorification of NZ et al. | Gary |
| They’ve continued the Labour Party policies with a slight tweak to helping exports / business. Otherwise little has changed. | Simon |
| A better direction than the previous bunch but still not good | Bryan |
| To me the NZ Government looks and acts like a puppet of the New World Order. Encourage spearatism and then make corporate deals with Maori . Easy. The sums of money to be exchanged will be astronomical .I guarantee Luxon is a recipient as was Ardern and Key | Paul |
| Apart from some corrections to the Maorification of NZ. Luxon seems to be still heading us in the wrong direction. His hero it seems is J Ardern | Nick |
| But they aren’t moving fast enough! | Terry |
| In some ways yes but still waiting for the commitments they promised such as reducing Moari language in our culture etc | Phil |
| They are not going far, or fast, enough to wind back race-based politics. | Janette |
| Appeasement is hoping the crocodile will eat you last..Key..Brownlee, Finlayson, Luxon..would be better off studying Winston Churchill. just sayin’. | Stan |
| too much pandering to mixed race radical rubbish | chris |
| Wrong way | Chris |
| They are not dealing with the twin ills of co-governance and Maorification fast enough or hard enough. It was obvious this would have a brake applied when PM Luxon first opened his mouth post election. I want the two faced so and so rolled and replaced by a real leader because they have a limited time left to get the job done. | Doug |
| Too many half measures – e.g. MACA only being reversed part way, Te Mana o te Wai (the engine room of 3 Waters) is still in force, a tikanga “expert” appointed as judge to Supreme Court, Luxon doesn’t support any part of TPB – not even equality before the law, public service now even bigger than when this govt came to power and expenditure higher, nothing now happening with charities law, Act & NZ First are still pulling against one another. This govt is better than the alternative but that’s not saying much. Their progress on de-maorification and stamping out corrupt practices is abysmal. I say wrong direction. Just not good enough, not decisive enough. Too much wriggle room left for Labour & co to pick up where they left off next time they gain power. We’re left still teetering on the brink of ethno statehood. | Wendy |
| Well done ACT and NZF. With National in the mix progress is slow. There is nothing I like about Luxon’s response to the racial challenges the country faces. Nothing. He has lost the plot if he thinks the economy can be fixed while racism flourishes. | Peter |
| Right – only because voting Left would be NZ’s death sentence.. Luxon and National have revealed an agenda which was not obvious at the 2023 election. Luxon is Labour -lite and – worst of all – has no problem refusing NZ citizens a referendum on democracy. Clearly he has lost voters’ trust. | mary |
| Right direction, but too slowly. | Mark |
| Julian Bachelors website, Stop Co Governance is a real eye opener as to all the extra privileges Maori now enjoy over and above the rest of us. I blame it on Parliament for so many weak, corrupt and ignorant Politicians who have brought us down to this level. I once read somewhere that up to 40% of all New Zealanders were in fact Socialists weather they knew it or not. | Paul |
| Trying but more speed would be appreciated | Basil |
| The country is going in the right direction, but not fast enough. National needs to show some spine and stop appeasing separatists! | David |
| Compared to where Labour, the Greens and the Maori Party would take the country, the Coalition is definitely going in the right direction but not fast enough nor far enough. | Murray |
| The Prime Minister needs to find some courage to stand up to the separatists otherwise he will be rolled and that would be a disaster for the Coalition and the country. In particular he needs to rein in activist judges and restore the rule of law. | Katrina |
| As Judge Willy says, the way National is going, by appeasing radical Maori, they will lose support to NZ First and ACT. Party members should not allow that to happen. | Len |
| What are the politicians afraid of? Why the heck don’t they do what is right for New Zealand and remove race and the Treaty from the statutes to deliver a colourblind government where everyone is equal under the law… | Simon |
