As New Zealand stands at the halfway point towards the 2026 election, let’s do a quick stocktake on the state of play.
The polls have remained tight throughout the entire period National, ACT, and New Zealand First have been in Government. While they tend to show the Coalition is slightly ahead, the ruling parties have struggled to present an inspirational vision for a united and prosperous future.
While restoring economic growth has been relentlessly championed by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon the situation they inherited from Labour was so dire that it was never going to be a quick fix.
Meanwhile Kiwis are continuing to vote with their feet with record numbers still leaving our country for greener pastures overseas. And while the search for better economic opportunity for their family is usually the driving force, for many the need to escape the growing racial divide has become almost as powerful.
Looking at the situation objectively, one has to wonder why the new Government has not already addressed the very concerns that caused voters to throw out Labour at the last election.
Put simply, voters had had enough of the Ardern legacy of delusional woke ambition that she is now peddling on the world stage as “empathetic” leadership. Most of all, they had had enough of the divisive racism that underpins the He Puapua agenda for tribal supremacy, that she imposed onto New Zealand without any mandate whatsoever under the guise of the United Nations Declaration on the Right of Indigenous Peoples.
Those concerns remain today, not only because those agendas have not been excised by the Coalition, but because they are growing stronger.
Government communications including letters, websites, adverts, signage, programmes and policies, continue to prioritise the Maori language instead of English, flouting Coalition directives and leaving Kiwis disaffected, confused, and afraid to speak out.
State broadcasters continue to use publicly funded roles to advance separatist agendas.
Children are still coming home from school with their heads full of propaganda – that colonisation was evil, that white people are racists, that sovereignty was never ceded, and that the only just future for our country is in “partnership” with Maori.
Even the hallowed halls of Parliament – the heart of our democracy – are now being trashed by a radicalised party that has weaponised the Maori seats to promote their form of anarchy.
It’s no wonder an increasing number of Kiwis are feeling disillusioned, with many packing their bags and heading abroad.
These, however, need not be terminal matters for the Coalition, if they had the resolve to put things right. Whether they have the courage to do so remains an unanswered question.
On the wider front, and to its credit, the Government is ramping up its legislative agenda to fulfil election promises. Clearly, getting “runs on the board” before the next election is a key imperative.
To date, over 90 Bills have been passed into law by the Coalition – many of the early ones repealing Labour legislation.
The latest Parliamentary Order Paper shows that over forty Government Bills are at various stages of the law-making process. Seven are awaiting their First Reading, after which they will be referred to a Select Committee. The balance of the Bills have been returned from Select Committees to Parliament ready for their Second Reading, Committee Stage of the House, and Third Reading before receiving the Royal Assent and becoming law.
In addition, more than thirty Government Bills are being dealt with by Parliament’s Select Committees, thirteen of which are currently open for public submissions. These are:
– Education and Training Amendment Bill (No 2) [Closing date: 12 June 2025]*;
– Public Works (Critical Infrastructure) Amendment Bill [13 June];
– Education and Training (Vocational Education and Training System) Amendment Bill [18 June];
– Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Amendment Bill [23 June];
– Financial Service Providers (Registration and Dispute Resolution) Amendment Bill [23 June];
– Financial Markets Conduct Amendment Bill [23 June];
– Regulatory Standards Bill [23 June];
– Building and Construction (Small Stand-alone Dwellings) Amendment Bill [23 June];
– Ngāti Hāua Claims Settlement Bill [24 June];
– Judicature (Timeliness) Legislation Amendment Bill [25 June];
– Valuers Bill [27 June];
– Financial Markets (Conduct of Institutions) Amendment (Duty to Provide Financial Services) Amendment Bill [04 July];
– The Public Finance Amendment Bill [Closing date: 07 July 2025].
*Links to all Bills open for public submissions can be found through the NZCPR’s Parliamentary Business website page HERE.
Select Committees play a crucial role in the democratic process by engaging the public in the detailed scrutiny of proposed bills. After hearing public submissions and expert evidence, Committee Members deliberate on Bills and incorporate recommendations before returning them to Parliament to continue their journey into law.
Select Committee work can be extremely challenging, especially when the Bills in question deal with controversial matters.
The Health Committee is currently considering one such Bill. The Gene Technology Bill, which aims to modernise New Zealand’s gene technology regulations by introducing an enabling framework, establishing an independent Regulator, and removing GE labelling requirements, has sparked a range of concerns including over consumer protection and trade compatibility.
This week’s NZCPR Guest Commentator, the Chairman of the Methane Science Accord Owen Jennings, a former MP and Federated Farmers President, outlines some of the concerns being expressed over the implications of the Bill for farming:
“What is being proposed and rushed through will institute the most unrestrained and least regulated regime in the world. National wants economic growth. Opening up the agricultural sector to less regulated gene editing and the more wholesale use of GMO’s could be a quick way to get quantum leaps in production. But there are no guarantees, and the evidence for increased production from gene manipulation is scant. Yet the changes are being hustled through.
“The rush to force changes to the regulations by a typically reform-shy National is raising questions in the farming community. Why the indecent haste?
“Some in the scientific community, spurred on by green interests, see GMO’s as a major mitigation tool for reducing ruminant methane emissions although the proof is very disputable. Rather than face the reality that our ruminants are not causing any problem and that decisive boldness to state that clearly is required rather than more taxpayer funding thrown at research, we are getting a potentially dangerous backdoor mechanism. It’s shortsighted.”
With agriculture the mainstay of New Zealand’s economic recovery, such concerns need to be taken seriously. If indeed, as Owen suggests, it is a desire to curb the methane emitted by cows and sheep using genetically engineered grasses and inhibitors such as vaccines and boluses, that’s creating the need for undue haste, it’s time for a deep breath.
The reality is that the country’s so-called methane emissions problem is not actually a problem – it’s a calculation mistake. The mathematical models used by the government to claim that almost half of New Zealand’s emissions burden is caused by livestock methane, mistakenly attributes methane’s warming impact to be 28 times that of carbon dioxide, when the correct factor is 7.
This mistake was acknowledged by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2021, but was ignored, not only by the Ardern Government, but now – unbelievably – by the Luxon Coalition as well.
The reason is that if the real value of methane was used in our models, not only would New Zealand’s climate problem effectively disappear, but the huge government edifice that’s been built to deal with this non-existent problem, would crumble.
Removing barriers to biotech is clearly part of the Coalition’s strategy to release New Zealanders from the stranglehold of regulation that’s long been holding this country back.
In the face of impossible bureaucratic burdens and lengthy time delays – not to mention the death knell of progress: iwi consultation – it is easier for investors to walk away than invest in our country.
Turning this situation around by reforming the 900-page Resource Management Act that is widely regarded as being largely responsible for inhibiting growth in New Zealand, is proving to be a major challenge. Labour tried it, but since their new law was worse than the original, National is now attempting the task.
The problem is that the RMA replacements – a Natural Environment Act and a Planning Act – are not expected to be operational until just before the next election, which means the Coalition has had to find other ways to promote growth.
In the past, successive governments have attempted to by-pass the RMA in order to accelerate housing development to address the country’s critical shortage of housing.
The Coalition’s Fast Track legislation was based on the same concept of by-passing the RMA to enable a pipeline of projects to get underway in a fraction of the time expected under the normal consenting process.
Another new Coalition initiative to boost growth has just been announced, this time in the form of sweeping changes to sixteen National Policy Statements. These policy directives from central government, which aim to guide local authority decision-making, cover three main groupings: infrastructure and development, the primary sector, and freshwater. The proposed changes are open for public submissions until 27 July – full details can be seen HERE.
One such change which will allow the building of a ‘Granny Flat’ accommodation unit of up to 70 square metres on a property without the need for a resource consent – only compliance with the building code – can be seen HERE.
A similar change for Maori land, which would allow up to ten of the accommodation units to be built without a resource consent – along with a commercial activity of up to 100 square metres – can be seen HERE.
One of the most significant changes being proposed involves an update of the National Policy Statement on Freshwater. It asks for public feedback on whether the problematic Maori spiritual concept of Te Mana o Te Wai should be retained in a new directive or removed altogether.
With the incorporation of Te Mana o Te Wai leading to tribal demands for the co-governance of freshwater, the right of veto over water use, and extortionate payments for ‘cultural monitoring’ as a condition of water consent approvals, anyone concerned about such matters, should put in a submission HERE – and encourage others to do the same.
Running a country is difficult at the best of times. Having to pick up the pieces from a dangerously incompetent predecessor – that left almost all areas of government including education, health, law and order, and welfare in urgent need of reform, has made the job just so much harder.
Looking at the wider picture, all over the world, liberal democracies are being threatened by authoritarian forces. We experienced it ourselves just five years ago, when almost every single one of our democratic rights and freedoms were stripped away without warning by the government headed by Jacinda Ardern – the former Prime Minister, who is now, ironically, touting her book promoting her “caring” brand of leadership.
It was into the democratic vacuum she created, that Jacinda Ardern opened the door to tribal rule – a problem that continues to plague New Zealand at this halfway point in the election cycle.
As we look to the next election, voters will face stark choices: National, ACT and New Zealand First or Labour, the radical Greens and the toxic Maori Party – a choice between democracy or authoritarianism, freedom or oppression, the rule of law or anarchy.
For all of our sakes, let’s hope that in eighteen months’ time the Coalition has not only succeeded in growing the economy, generating jobs, and raising living standards, but that they have also successfully instigated what many Kiwis were hoping when they voted for the change in government at the last election: equality under the law in a colourblind society.

THIS WEEK’S POLL COMMENTS
| Great comment letterby Peter Williams, on the covid commission inquiry.I Peter is right,this inqury has to go much deeper, into the poor way that Ardern, Bloomfield, Dipkins, Robertson , pushed the POISON BIO JABS, during COVID. These Genociders need to be held to account, for pushing these BIO WEAPONS, because the TRUTH is coming out an it’s not going to go away….! All of you will be held to account. LET THAT SINK IN!!! | David |
| This has got to get sorted. This such a social and economic drain on our country | Robert |
| A divisive environment undermines the job to be done by the party voted in. Equal under the law for all citizens of NZ is paramount. That is for all cultures- not one culture who are holding our country to ransom and have been doing so for generations passed based on a myth of indigenous peoples!! Get rid of The Waitangi Tribunal for a starter and also Maori seats in Parliament. If they think they can run a country let them earn a general seat in Parliament like the rest of the members elected. Stop arming them to fail!!! | A. Thompson |
| Because of the actions of previous Governments and the present Government not being prepared to confront the problem head on, we are now a country that practices aparteid and separate development to the detrament of the whole country at large. | Jillian |
| – KiwiSaver withdrawals for hardship are up by 58% in the past year, healthcare, rising unemployment and food insecurity. | doomadgee |
| Socialist Playbook 101 – Divide and Conquer | Bevan |
| The Govt said they would deal with all the Maorisation rubbish that Ardern started–but have done next to NOTHING. They lied. | William |
| Civilisation collapse, do Maori want us to go backwards? | Monica |
| All New Zealanders First. NO favouritism. | Steve |
| Politicians stop dividing us. We are all one people under the sun and law.!! | Willam |
| the milestone of all the woke agendas that hang around our necks that are undermining all the benefits of a liberal democracy, we thought we had, in all of the above areas and more. | jim |
| We urgently need to get rid of the slide taking place into a form of apartheid being promoted by maori “elites”. I now view them as parasites, burrowing into their host (the rest of us New Zealanders), which will ultimately collapse New Zealand, when there’s nothing left for them to take, turning New Zealand anto another version of Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe. | Trevor |
| All the above included plus Cook Strait Ferries, Roading Immigration | Denis |
| The government needs to act in this area. It was one of the reasons it did so well in the last election. This time lack of action could cost them. They need to stop the radicalisation of our children with out and out lies. | Faye |
| The Maorification of NZ has to be halted and the entire TOW grievance industry stopped in its tracks. History is being rewritten by those who are living the high life off the claims and the entire process is now just a farce. NZ is a nation of immigrants and any preferential treatment because of race should be removed from any statute and citizens should be treated equally. | Allan |
| Until NZ becomes united as one people things will not change and go forward, | Roy |
| Obviously race relations is the number one but followed closely by the co-alition govt for being gutless wimps and not following through on their election promises. They have hung David Seymour out to dry and stood by while he is accused of being racist. They are a bunch of gutless fizzwhistlers. We need a new government to be assembled to wipe out completely any reference to maori this and maori that. A good start would be to send Tea party moari back to china. We need ONE COUNTRY ONE PEOPLE ONE LANGUAGE. I like Sean Plunkets idea of making the Field Days in Hamilton New Zealand Day.Now I`m well aware we don`t need another paid holiday so we can scrap matariki and kings birthday entirely.Wipe out 2 and install one, saving $$$$$$$$ | Brian |
| The polls indicate that there are still around half the number of eligible voting people who are under the spell of their inner most compassionate and empathetic feelings when it comes to what they see as the poor down trodden beings in our society. This includes Maori. They very much dislike the rightwing autocratic arrogant Politians who they see as uncaring storm troopers running roughshod over our most vulnerable poor citizens. They are the firm believers of equity and are suspicious of equality and cannot tolerate people from the superrich class to whom the think are ripping off the lower class and are thus depriving them of a decent standard of living. They need to pay more taxes. Therefore the coalition need to somehow win more of these ‘kind’ people over, to see the broader true picture without alienating them further to the hard left. This current Government can do this by coming down from their high horses with some conciliatory rhetoric that actually portrays this county’s true history and what are the necessary conditions that need to be, and to be put in place to improve the living standards of those who are considered as being the most vulnerable groups in our nation. It’s in your hands Mr Luxon. Lets see if you can do it to actually earn your future title. | Garry. |
| I see all 4 as being big problems/challenges but race relations is the one that is holding us back the most. We should all be equal in NZ. If Maori see they are not getting a fair share of the so-called pie, then make sure their children get an education as they will then get better jobs prospects. All the Maori party is doing is generating racial discontent instead of looking to the future – you can’t change the past. | Keith |
| Although race relations is a huge problem, my thoughts are an improved economy will have a positive effect on race relations | Deb |
| Tribal takeover still coming | Michelle |
| stop all divisive literature, especially in schools…remove all Maori language, myths ,legends and lies from all govt. departments, remove all Maori seats no Maori wards..one person one vote…ban the haka..for the marae only. | Peter |
| The Maorification of everything . | Kris |
| Whilst the other categories Economy, Health, Education have huge problems with New Zealand, it is the ethnicity division within the country that is so waste-full in effort and money. If we could simply accept that we are all New Zealanders (One People) then substantial improvements would be made in those other sectors. New Zealand could be a beacon for other Countries to follow because our Race Relations division should not exist in the 21st Century when we are a newly developing infant country on the global stage. | Martin |
| This remains an area needing clarifications and action by Government to ensure the best outcomes for all Kiwis. The actions of minority Maori radicals and the ignorance of the Green party undermine the trust put into the election of the National coalition. With nothing being changed by National voters i talk to are losing faith in the leadership.partners. | PAUL |
| Time to get real re democracy v’s tribalism | Richard |
| N.Z. is in a world of trouble… Iam personally concerned about our state of so called HEALTH. There are still lots of people, who are being seen at the hospital, many of which are imobilised, with crutches and wheel chairs, not so many with masks. The masks were ditched, very quickly, many people think that COVID was years ago!!Seems we have very short memories in Aotearoa NZ. SCHWABB, and GATES, are boasting again, about the next SCAM, coming to Aotearoa very soon . | David |
| The two biggest problems are the political system, the so-called democracy, and Luxon, who is quite close to being interchangeable with Ardern. You say that voters have a choice – do they? A choice between a Labour coalition making a mess of things, and a National coalition tidying it up. You seem to think that the Maori Party are promoting anarchy. No! Anarchy is a state with no over-arching government. Sounds good to me. | Leonie |
| By a country mile | David |
| A hard choice but the Gene Technology Bill coupled with moves to allow increased levels of glyphosate on our crops has huge negative implications for health going forwards. | Allan |
| Maori needs to stop being racists …and take responsibility for there own problems that they create… Eg prison pop …poor health. .poor education all created by there poor decisions | Carl |
| NZ is touted as a democratic country. Democracy means that all people are treated equally. Stop the handouts to people who claim to be Maori and force the Tribes to pay the same tax as other business pays. | Steve |
| Caving in to demands by activists from one racial group creates problems in many areas including the economy health and critically education | Terry |
| Equal rights for all citizens must be a priority if NZ is to move forward. | John |
| Maori have hijacked our democracy | Ian |
| colour blind is the only way forward | Brian |
| Political & Media Coruption Rule NZ | Bruce |
| Government spending coupled with racially supported policies that feeds millions to Maori. Health and Education suffer. | Keith |
| NZ must get back to all NZ citizens are just that, NZ citizens. Stop division by race. | Dave |
| NZ is going down the Gurgler!! | Laurie |
| Race relations is the most significant issue facing this nation. The economy is gradually coming right, and, as it improves there will be more funding for health and education. However, there is an urgent need to stop all the race-based funding. I am not sure that National is up to the task. | Gavin |
| Government needs to think about our Economy and keep GMO out. We don’t want it and we have enough illnesses without introducing quick fixes. | Anne |
| They all need looking at urgently. Eco my will crumble if decisions are going to be made in haste Racial disharmony is a disgrace and one that was promised to be sorted. | Anne |
| woke crap | Ian |
| This continues to plague New Zealand. It is insidious, divides us and must be curtailed. Maori and Tribalism are the joint problems contiuing to hold us back. | Frank |
| While we can only tick one, race relations do come in as a very strong 2nd. | Steve |
| The separatist agenda being promoted now by the Maori party is leading New Zealand down the toilet at a rapid rate. One person , one vote will be almost impossible to achieve soon. It is almost too late to bring it back | Gregor |
| Equality of citizens regardless of race | Roger |
| “It’s the economy stupid.” Poor showing in all the other areas will lead NZ to be the banana republic without the bananas. A Kumara republic perhaps. | The Answer is always 6 |
| Shut down all services to maori that are corrupting ALL OF THE ABOVE then if that DANGEROUS WOMAN CALLED ADERN ARRIVES BACK IN NEW ZEALAND CHARGE HER WITH TREASON, regarding the “other” if the brown mob play up in parliament dismiss them WITHOUT PAY AND PERKS FOR A YEAR NO IF AND BUTS AS THE GENERAL POPULATION HAS HAD A GUTS FULL OF THEIR CRAP, LASTLY GET RID OF LUXON UNLESS HE GETS A PAIR AND DOES WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD , as the TUI SAYS YER RIGHT. | Richard |
| United we stand, divided we fall. We need to keep the focus on one new country” New Zealand” one people one law , benefits equally distributed and equally worked for, not given based on colour or heritage nor precievedspecial rights. | Malcolm |
| Luxon has gone soft on this and the National Party’s Election pledge was to sort it – SO – SORT IT!!!! | Don |
| Keeping the country solvent. Reduce to amount to be borrowed, and payoff debt if possible. NZ is fast becoming the Venezuela of the South PAcific. | Peter |
| We are all New Zealanders and should be living our lives without conflict because of Maori historical misconceptions. It seems they will not rest until they are in control of us all. | Lyn |
| When the maori party threatened David Seymour with a finger gun the police should have raided their home and removed any firearms. I am sure as hell if it was the other way round they would have. And if these radicals have a gun licence it should be revoked. Race relations are getting worse and the maori party are the instigators. They are traitors and committing treason. Need to be removed from parliament permanentely. | Kevin |
| Kiwis, are dying, from the effects of the fake pandemic of 2020, they are dying because of the ‘cover up of the Data’,patients and sick people are dying because they have been given the WRONG medical care, the drugs are NOT doing what they are meant to do! | David |
| NZ. is in a predicament…our country and people are in a worse state, than the boiling frog. The boiling frog,is unaware of the coming heat, and the understanding of how the boiling pot works..?We as people, understand, how the genocide plan works, in detail.Chemical G.M foods, chemical vaccines disguised as ‘medicines’, used in the recent covid scamdemic, and next it will be the ‘man made famine’ which will be democide, and not a single soul will utter the word REVOLT, if we knew what our controllers have planned for us, but we would not dare think about overthrowing them, we all have forgotten our ‘self-preservation’ instinct, and need to come to our senses! before its’ TO LATE. | David |
| Race/apartheid laws and regulations allowing tribal overreach is preventing economic growth, education indoctrinating our kids and health is corrupted by spiritualist nonsense. If Luxon and the coalition cannot see the elephant in the room then NZ is truly stuff. Why would any sane business want to invest in a country that does not believe in equality, a color blind country, that actively allows laws that promote corruption by way of the consultation fees required to get anything done. The coalition could rid NZ of the TOW tomorrow but they wont. NZ needs leadership not seat warmers | Sam |
| We are being bombed by all and everything Maori. All this does is cause angst within the community, and the antics of Te Pati Maori only amplify this. | Peter |
| Non Maori are sick and tired of being made to feel like second class citizens in their own country. If Maori want ” respect” they should earn it like everyone else. Their track record so far, is abysmal. | Alastair |
| ASAP | Anthony |
| Health and education are in a pot state, no question. But the biggest threat to our nation is race relations. The splitting of our democracy, and the allocation of resources based on race is what will bring this country to it’s knees | Andrew |
| Redirect the millions spent on apartheid to a needs base and use this money on health and education | Peter |
| Attempts to divide the country by race and take over democracy | Hilary |
| Get back to equality regardless of race or ethnicity in NZ & the economy, health & education will stand a better chance of coming right | Maxine |
| Tukurangi Morgan stated a couple of years ago that “co-governance is NOT a Maori word and….. By 2040 the Westminister Government will be gone and NZ will be under Tribal Law and they are ahead of schedule. National is either not aware of this or has their head in the sand, either way it is not good for NZ. | Lynn |
| Removal of the Paris agreement is second. i am amazed how many people dont begin to understand the implications of the pari accord. | Joan |
| Act and NZF must unite on this problem and then force the Nats to keep their promise. by, if necessary, refusing to support the Nats; own aspirational bills. | Paul |
| Not one specific area. I see there is a clash of ideologies that have entered all areas of NZ life Permeating Central and local goverment agencies. Activists in parliament. News media. | Nigel |
| If Democracy is not upheld all other issues will fail as a result | Glenn |
| One of the main problems with race-based Mugabe socialism is that it severely damages the economy for most people. | Kent |
| Has the potential to destroy our country, i.e. put us in the same group of countries as the worst of African. | Peter |
| 100 % | george |
| I see the basic political leadership, of NZ, or more precisely, the lack of real leadership based on voters clear indicative voting understanding being ignored! With so much descent and division within NZ society, when the purpose of political leadership is to secure the health, wealth and safety of New Zealand’s citizens – and based on the prevailing unrest, today’s leadership is NOT offering this! | Stuart |
| Unless and until we fix the maorification of New Zealand, none of the other issues are able to be fully fixed. | Ken |
| Te Pati Maori should be have been removed from Parliament for far longer by the Privileges Committee, and the Maori Seats need to be done away with, for the next election. If this cancer in the side of NZ citizens was removed all the other problems like the economy ,health, and Education would gradually be able to fall into place. The Maori economy is draining the Govt of much of it’s income, but nothing is being done anout this! All NZ citizens should be equal under the law and have the same rights and duties, as detailed in the Treaty Principles Bill. This is supposed to be a democracy! | Mary |
| Maori are being created as the “Upper class. Not because of their superiority but because of their Maori Seats. Witness the 42 Maori out of the 80 places in Auckland University Medical School. | Percy |
| The next Government must be formed by setting in place for themselves a two tiered structure with 2 distinct levels of cabinet with a maximum of 12 ministers as a Board and supported by a strong management team with specific skills. | Jim |
| This government needs to stop all moarification of all government departments including Education, health, law etc. in the process stop pandering g to Maori demands as well as their disrepectful behaviour in parliament%u2026.the speaker mr Brownlie needs to step up and do the job required of his position. | Jan |
| Absolutely everything! | Ann |
| The ‘soft’ corruption and influence from the bully elites and past politicians. The ones that started the other 4 issues noted can fail to see they created a problem! | RICHard |
| We should be a color-blind society, with one man/one vote. Troublesome race relations will negate any other achievements gained. | John & Wilma |
| Fixing the issues of the economy, health and education will all be for nothing if the real issue of race and the ongoing March to anarchy is not stopped. The lack of courage and leadership in the coalition is breathtaking. Despite repeated promises to abolish the Maori seats in line with the electoral commissions at the implementation of MMP. End the Waitangi Tribunal gravy train and abolish all race based legislation across the board. One country, one law for all and one person one vote. Just get on with it and watch NZ thrive. | Ian |
| Because if that’s not dealt with then the rest don’t matter as this country will be so divided that the economy will fail and the rest as they say will be history probably rewritten history Maori style. | Vaughan |
| Race heads the list as it leads to distortion and waste in the others | David |
| followed by Economy, and health | Dave |
| Maorfication and Maori having special powers given preferential treatment. Forcing of Maori spiritual beliefs onto people and children who don’t want it overwriting our true history. | |
| Democracy needed | Ian |
| Seculaism and lack of morality and virtue. | Marie |
| We are one people. As we try to undo the separatism that has been inserted into many places, we will be accused of being racists. The truth is, the people who instigated those policies are the racists. | Mick |
| Money and Health are the key factors of our present lives…and Time is against us all. | Chris |
| I believe that the biggest problem facing New Zealand is, THE GOVERNMENT !!!!!. They say what they need to say and promise to serve the people only to get our votes and get elected. Then they go off and do what was already in their hearts to do, shameless and completely devoid of honesty ,integrity and gratitude towards those who placed them in power. There is no way to hold them accountable if 1,the mainstream media criminals are in their pockets 2, Joe public have short memories and fall for the same scam at the next election . we the people of NZ must be determined to remove them from power ,the country needs a Reformation a thorough cleaning out of our systems practices and personal who have allowed and in many cases conspired and orchestrated the mess we now face, forget the old we need a new party to REFORM NZ. | Glyn J |
| Our society will self-destruct if racial division is not averted. The promises of the Leader of the National Party prior to the election was–to eliminate the use of Maori in and on buildings and in the media. NOTHING has been done, and racism is flourishing. | William |
| We must accept the FACTS of our history. New Zealand cities were built by our European settlors with their superior technologies. Sovereignty WAS ceded. | glyn |
| All of the above really. We are in hell of a mess, and govt is not doing enough to make things right quick enough | Patrick |
| and all the others, NZ is in the shit, the Government & councils DO NOT understand the word Budget & how to work within it. | Chris |
| The Maorification of NZ must cease. Freshwater is not owned by Maori but the people of New Zealand & Maori have no rights to control or charge $$ fees for any from any source. Maori charging Auckland council for Waikato water needs to cease. Iwi companies such as Ngai Tahu & Tainui need their Trust status removed & pay company taxes as their competitors do / no more Race based privileges. | Derek |
| we need to sort this reverse racism urgently. not much chance of getting ahead with it in place. | Colin |
| All four options require need sincere attention but can’t be addressed without a strong economy to address them all | Peter |
| Ultimately, nothing can be achieved without money, so the economy is paramount. However, education may be in a close second place. At an individual level, health may also be negatively affected by money concerns so many factor will have a bearing on the overall picture. | Peter |
| It’s the elephant in the room. | Andrew |
| All of the above really. But race relations is dragging them all down. | Andrew |
| Tribal rule is communism and racism in one. maori are not indigenous to NZ and are only 17 % of the pop. | Mark |
| Apart from Race Relations, all the other problems are reversible in the future. Once we have He Puapua in place things can only be reversed with bloodshed. | John |
| If this or a subsequent centerist govt does not sort race relations by shutting down the Waitangi Tribunal, removing M%u0101ori electoral seats, removing any favourable bias for funding then our society will continue to deteriorate to potentially some form of civil war. | Tony |
| All of the above! | Hugh |
| Maori being raisists .this is one country one law | Carl |
| Need to clamp down on the waitangi tribunal | Lawrence |
| Our democracy is under threat | Rose |
| I emailed Luxon before the last election and told him that race relations will kill this country but he and the National Party seem to scared to do anything concrete about it. Health and education are obviously extremely important but the ongoing racial profiling in policies will do nothing to fix the problems in these areas. | Robert |
| The issues are many but all were engineered by the Globalists to divide the country and break down society in order to bring in One World Government .The same pattern is evident in other countries. Pitting ethnic groups against each other, the LGBT playbook, transgenderism, woke-ism, etc., are recognisable in other countries as well, making it clear that an orchestrated attack is in progress. Covid revealed the fact that all countries were responding in the same way. indicating that the same instructions had been given from the one source. Millions of lives were destroyed because the Globalists consider that the world is overpopulated and that its resources are being wasted on ‘useless eaters’ as the W.E.F (Yuval Harare) claimed).Global Warming was chosen to be the crisis that would unite the world in fear but it did not fly so they changed it Climate Change which is no more scientifically provable but sounds more convincing to some. The aim was to created fear and gain control through that. Covid was planned for the same reason, with the threat of other diseases waiting in the wings . W.H.O. is being used to introduce vaccines which are having harmful ongoing effects and this is not accidental. The U.N. is a corrupting influnece which encourages the ‘herd’ mentality among countries’ leaders ‘who toe the line’ so as not to alienate trading partnes .At the moment the focus is on the U.S. and the elimination of Pres. Donald Trump , who is the ‘fly in the ointment’ wrecking the Globalists plans and of course the U.S has been the protector of the free world and it seems like the Globalist plans will fail if they cannot get control of the U.S. The rest of us would simply follow like sheep, either way Many of our politician’s have signed a paper supporting the idea of One World Government , so we do not know who we can trust when we vote . | Harvey |
| Activist’s separatist agenda is dividing the Country and destroying what used to be good race relations in NZ. The present coalition is capable of sorting out this problem if only they were brave enough. | Jim |
| Government superannuation entitlement age extension | Bruce |
| Pretty much all of the above. What really bugs me is for whom that wet sock PM and his associates are really working for. And why the coalition parties Act and NZ First are not putting more pressure on them to get things done. WHY on earth??????? | Michael |
| just about time to leave & join all those leaving . | Gil |
| We are all New Zealanders. | William |
| I voted for National/Act on their campaign to get rid of all race based policies including Co-governance. Act has done its bit but National/Luxon has failed miserably. | Mike |
| The problems for NZ are all of the above! I think it was Nathan Rothchild, now deceased, who said, ‘I care not who governs a country, as long as I control the debt’. We are the most indebted country in the world! 5million people and we are indebted to the tune of $350billion! IThat is why politicians are puppets! They do what they’re told or else! It won’t matter who is in power, if the destruction of this country, racially or financially, is ordered, it will happen. | Peter |
| Tearing the country apart! | ALASTAIR |
| The Government should not be sitting on their hands & be doing nothing. | Tony |
| Its pretty obvious that the maori mafia is intent on destroying New Zealands society/future with continuing attacks on our once proud history, derailed by Adern and cohorts . Are they so stupid not to see how if these radical’s get any more control over New Zealand there will be nothing left but chaos and tribal rule ,and yes Kiwis will leave en masse .I see Adern has left NZ and now lives in America ,hopefully Trump will deport her as a danger to any society . | Ray |
| All references to race (including “treaty”) must be eliminated immediately. | Peter |
| Sadly, Luxon remains a typical former CEO .. trying to make himself look good while doing nothing to deal with the Maorification of NZ in Education, the State Sector, Healthcare, and the list goes on. Thus far he has been a huge disappointment to many National voters. He has less than 18 months to prove us wrong! | Rob |
| National have let us down miserably. Apartheid prevails | Peter |
| Hesitancy to take the ‘bull by the horns’ and move on He Puapua etc. That was what I voted for National to do. | Judy |
| Anti democratic | Claire |
| Luxon seems too timid, to roll back the racist dominance of te Pati Maori, which has been dominating politics all year. This must urgently be changed, instead of Luxon doing nothing. | Alastair |
| I’m passed the point where I try to understand the maorified language used on TV and in media.I have told National I will not vote for them again even if they get rid of the maorification of NZ.If I was younger I would be out of here quick fast. | P |
| If the Government did not have to spend time dealing with blathering from the Greens and the Maori Party they would be more able to devote their energies to the othe issues. | Neville |
| All of the above. They are all interrelated and connected. The radical deterioration of race relations is because of toxic woke threads through all of the issues. So called Maoriness is now a toxin polluting all of NZ. It’s strangling the economy, infests health, pollutes education and dragging all of them down and takes away money that should be used wisely. In that sense race relations is the prime concern but all the above issues are major problems and NZ is failing on all fronts and the National led coalition is failing us. We are doomed if the left get power again. | John |
| unless the treary or Waitangi is abolished nz is going broke it is a raciest situation with only maori being cared for the rest of nz is ignord | adrian |
| They are leaving nz because of Maorification of their country. | John |
| I think aaaaaaaaall the topics are big problems but a racially divided country would be a disaster | anthony |
| Until this country aligns itself with one vote and one rule for all it will continue to slide backwards. | john |
| Luxon is a fail his refusal to back seymours bill shows his commitment to change was just talk the people are tired of it | Graham |
| This government promised to sort this out immediately yea right | Peter |
| The continued ‘maorification’ of our country which was campaigned on being stopped and has not (stopped) | Sandra |
| Hard choice. All are in desparate decline. Race relations is most fundamental in that it speaks directly to a pressing issue of political philosophy. We are either competing tribes, or a secular society based on individual rather than collective rights | Mark |
| Unless the racial activism is stopped, New Zealand will not survive as a free and democratic nation. Look at Los Angeles today and that’s our future | Doug |
| I wish I was younger as we also would join the exodus overseas. Race relations have to be sorted NOW. | Judy |
| Maori not for good of NZ, always it’s what good for maori | Jon |
| I picked race relations as they are the undercurrent that not many people notice. The government was voted in to sort this out but have failed to do so. The loss of good quality people leaving is evidence in itself | Lawrie |
| I see the economy as the country’s main problem, but race relations, especially the amount of racist laws in this country and until that problem is fixed, I suspect sorting out the economy will be difficult. | Hugh |
| Luxon has to go | chris |
| Actually all of the above. The Maori thing that`s going on needs to be put in perspective. It`s trumped up by Maori aggitators and not be given into.. | Colin |
| Maori indoctrination in every direction and at all levels of society. Maori inciting corruption and getting away with it | Anne |
| Race Relations clearly the biggest problem, still has not been dealt with, and the issues with the economy, health & education remain. We have a very weak, timid & ineffective leader in Christopher Luxon. | Greg |
| Apartheid tribal opportunist Maori politicians and elites. | Norman |
| We need to drop division and become one nation. Racial electorates must go. We need to look to the future and stop being evangelical. | Gerry |

| The Maori Party are the REAL drivers of divisive race relations. When are the coalition going to eliminate the Maorification of our dear country? | Tony |
| Very hard to choose one. Everything seems to be a cluster F | Deanne |
| End the Maori overlay: One Rule for all People | Mark |
| Until we are all treated equally, race irrelevant this country will never progress. All the Maori being imposed, iwi consultation etc stops people from doing constructive business. Time Luxon woke up . He talks about improving prodictivity but refuses to accept and get rid of the biggest impediment to progress in this country. | Gail |
| Followed closely by race relations | Lynn |
| Race relations is by far the biggest problem faced by NZ. Everything else falls behind this because if democracy is destroyed the economy will be wrecked, and NZ can kiss goodbye to first-world status. | Robert |
| Apartheid system seems to be forging ahead. Maori economy is growing but the money doesn’t reach those down below. Maori child deaths are very disturbing, after their long history of infanticide. If they father a child, they should be compelled to do a parenting course (which includes how to be an adult and not take drugs, etc). If they are of a violent nature, they should attend an anger management class. | Theodora |
| A poor economy that is unproductive due to DIE and poor race relations is continuing to plague our country. We need to get “forard-looking” and scrap all the bureaucratic nonsense. | Glenn |
| Radical Maori are leading to civil war | Derek |
| Health. education and Economy are equally important. However until we sort out our race relations issue, these topics are secondary. | Peter |
| If this is not addressed nothing else will matter a jot | Doug |
| Race relations is the biggest problem as it effects other areas such as the economy, health and education as well. A country divided by race is a country divided everywhere. | Rikaad |
| Race relations | Diianne |
| The Govt is broke, by throwing away the coun Country’s assets and bIllinois of dollars to the maori’s biggest scam grievance in our history. Govt sleeps while NZ burns. Govt. NOW gutless and corrupt. Sack them. | John |
| If we do not have racial harmony and unity then nothing else will matter. | ken |
| same treatment for all. | gerhard |
| The situation is rapidly getting wose and won’t change untilwe get rid of Luxon. | Ronmac |
| The Coalition has stalled on its promises. They promised to go back to the previous naming of Govt Departments but nothing has happened. What is the holdup?. | Jerry |
| The coalition needs to drop all co-governance toned work and focus on the economy. Put English formally as our main language, with English first that is used around the world. We are all New Zealanders regardless of ancestry. | Paula |
| Sea shore and water ownership belongs to all us . | Alan |
| OTHER. Governmental control. without government in control determining all social financial racial and industrial/commercial development matters, decisions in these and many other areas are stalled by personal interest groups with racial superiority and financial supremacy agendas. Government decisions determined by authorised and qualified governmental bodies and individuals controlled according to public majority decisions at general elections supporting the government’s authority to govern in all these matters without interference by personal interest groups will give the government the necessary power to implement the policies and financial management needed to govern efficiently according to their stated policies. Without that authority we will continue to have governments that are crippled by personal agendas interfering and disputing governmental decisions. Among those personal agendas Racial issues stand tall. Witnessed by the recent boasting of the supreme financial positions of iwi following tribal settlements by the Crown. | Terrence |
| All 5 of these headings need our support but some more than others. Christopher MUST listen to your subjects & take positive action on all matters u raise !! | Andrew |
| Once this is addessed many of the other issues will improve | Jan |
| I put the economy first : the idiotic obsession with NetZero is our main problem. But for New Zealand a close second exists with political race relations. We must scrap the Maori seats, sack the Waitangi Tribunal – and discontinue the impossible attempt to revive te reo Maori. It is a dead language – and dead languages cannot be revived. | AndyE |
| ALL OF THE ABOVE! Race relations are at their worst ever. The economy isn’t improving fast enough. Health system is abysmal. Education in New Zealand is NOT about Education as we know it. It is about Indoctrination. Add in the Maorification of everything and you’ve got one helluva mess. This is why I won’t be voting for Luxon. He’s a one term PM. | Heather |
| If people think an awful lot of New Zealanders are leaving this country just wait untill He Pua Pua ( co governance ) really takes hold and becomes law. This country will end up a third world banana republic and no one will want to come or stay here. | Paul |
| New Zealand seems to loosing the English language why is everything now seems to be named in Maori you never know where the places are the English names are no longer used . Just disgusting T/V announcers are terrible more and more Maori is being used and you have no idea what they are saying it’s just racist | Barbara |
| Its a combination of most of those. d. Getting the ground work to get the economy growing again after the Labour disaster. Then sorting out our health after multi governments meddling etc. Then there is the racial disharmony created once again by ‘her kindness ‘ jabcinda. When are maoridom going to stop being spoon fed all the way and start paying tax like the rest of us.Also sort out the education of o u r children so they are not being indoctrinated with all this woke crap and maori bullshit. Get the country back on even keel again. Why do maori get so many privileges, what about all the other ethnicities in this country? Why is it taking so long to stop the maorification of o u r once peaceful country. And get some order and respect back in Parliament , its not a funny hat parade. | Peter |
| Race relations 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th We want one NZ – end of story | Robert |
| A properly functioning and growing economy is fundamental and has ubiquitous benefit. However, out of the remaining choices (which are all sub-plots by comparison) the most long term harm to NZ society will arise from the inabiliy of the government (this and any future governments) to legislatively remove the current in-built racism and, like the French, have only ‘citizens’, the ethnicity of whom is irrelevant. | Francis |
| Unless dealt with now it will, like an octopus continue to silence, to strangle NZ as a democracy and the feudal state insinuate itself with the same cunning and guile that has enabled it to get a chokehold already. | Margaret |
| Worse than ever. Coloured racism is destroying the fabric of our society | Richard |
| The insidious progress towards implementing the 2030 agenda of the World Economic Forum | Bryan |
| Race relations The economy education Health The resirection of the sedition laws which labour cancelled to enable furthering its agenda Which was not part of any manifesto pitched to the voters Bring back normality and common sense Mr Luxon Get of the fence the top wire is barb wire | Bruce |
| the whole lot sactually!! | nevkath |
| Without doubt, Race Relations is the largest issue we have as this not only impacts on the general population but also impacts economics, investment, unfair discrimination of white/european blood stock and the list goes on. Resolve the racial issues by dismantling Adrens and Luxons agendas and NZ will again start to sing. God Bless NZ. | Neville |
| Race relations is clearly the biggest problem. Equality is out the door and we now have master race? Economy is just an excuse for the Health/hospital/Doctor failings. Poor management and leadership is the cause. The country is stuffed> God defend New Zealand. | Bruce |
| Poor quality opposition from most others parties in over their heads nil constructive propositions towards problem solving & betterment for the country. | mike |

| The unwillingness of the coalition to stop co- governance with iwi. | Neil |
| Must get rid of He Puapua !!! | Julz |
| Most of our current politicians who seem to be hell bent on 1. Ruining race relation by implementing co-governance and appeasing the activists. 2. Ruining the economy (govt debt is increasing by more than 3 million dollars per hour) 3. Ruining our health by not immediately exposing the covid scam and banning the fake vaccine. 4. Ruining education by allowing the indoctrination of our children with false Treaty claims and RSE. | Fred |
| The madness we now see and hear about a wide variety of matters related to maori demands, racism and the need for more money must stop. If something isn’t done soon we will face violence on our streets. | Grahame |
| National promised to stop race based policy yet they show no sign of doing it. | Clive |
| Closely followed by Race Relations! | Sylvia |
| The continual caving in to activist bullying and B-S instead of following up on promises given prior to the Election. The other areas listed above could be more swiftly dealt with, were it not for the toxic presence of the parasitic TPM and their fellow travellers, the Greens. They act as a huge ball and chain, hindering the country’s progress and presenting a constant barrier to the Coalition in their Herculean task of making good the damage left by the previous administration. They need to disappear – or be made to disappear – but I’m not holding my breath, given the lack of resolve to do so on the part of our so-called leadership. This needs to change – and fast, if we want to halt the exodus of our best and brightest to other shores. | Scott |
| When you have a govt that has not carried out its election promises, people have lost faith | Colin |
| The situation that has been developed is completely wrong. The narrative that children learn in school regarding the evils of colonialism will continue to poison the minds of New Zealanders who believed the races could work together for the benefit of all and this of course includes Pacific people, Asian people and in smaller numbers many different ethnicities. The arrogance of some Maori leaders ignores the reality that the ancestors of everyone in this country came here for a better life. Maori tend to ignore the fact that they killed the peace-loving Moriori on the Chatham Islands; that the vast majority of them are of mixed race themselves and that inter-tribal warfare carried on for centuries before the missionaries arrived here. I am also appalled that Wikipedia will tell you that there are two official languages in this country, being Mauri and sign language. English is also widely spoken. Many people do not know this ridiculous situation. | Pauline |
| I would tick item 1,2,4,and 5 . Also what is this Government doing about mandating FLUORIDE and CHLORINE be added to our water. Disgusting | Rob |

| Woke agendas: trans, DEI, critical race theory – Maorification. All these are divisive and all woven into educational institutions and the public service and backed by an activist judiciary. The agenda is to destroy our democracy and NZ’s sovereignty and we shall be slaves to the global cabal of oligarchs! | Donna |
| this country is fast approaching a tipping point where maori sovereignty or co governance is inevitable, god help us | john |
| unless Maori & iwi through Treaty – saying they can take/ own anything and everyone else has to pay for it – saving that would save billions . power company has to pay them which in turn puts price of power up for all etc | Karen |
| We voted for National to get rid of Labour, the loony Greens and the treacherous Maori party. I doubt this will happen under the weak leadership of Chris Luxon.

| Personally I would say race relations, had a guts full of all the maorification Secondly , health Roading And cost of living | Murray |
| The National Party has lied to its supporters on almost everything. It continues the policy of racial division supercharged by the last disastrous Labour govt. I am beginning to feel unsafe in my own country from radical brown grifters. BTW I have some Polynesian genes in my DNA but identify as a New Zealander (never as an Aoterearoan). | Richard |
| The effect of minority influence is not force the country back to historic vague and illogical criteria – giving totally out of proportion power to a minority. | Bruce |

| Health, Economy, Education , And what about all this Maori bull shit they were going to get rid of, like TV presenters speaking Moari all the time because it was according to the Government during the election it was supposed to be all English first not the other way around and what’s with the tv channels there used to be one Moari channel now there is three or four. What going on with that. And what about the road signs , , businesses. etc. And every time you phone a government dept you get a person or a recording speaking to you in Moari in steed of English. Because most of the general public have had a guts full. Or is it just a matter of the government just being cutless. | COLIN |
| Equal citizens first | Alan |
| The continual destructive pursuit for dominance and push for co management of our system of government by the Maori party and pressure groups is exhausting productive thinking and holding the country back. Get ride of the incideous rules and regulations that the Labour government and Jacinda A installed upon us and then flew off to her comfortable job at Harvard to now sprout her Socialist doctraine to the student so called elite. Failure to allow the parliament to pass laws with out the subsequent manipulations and changes by the courts must be stopped. The courts are not there to cange basic policies set by the government and if a change is deemed necessary it must be return to parliament for direction. Lets get back to basics for the good of everyone. | John |
| We need to remove the racist view that there only two races in NZ – Maori and non Maori. Colour blind government for all kiwis | Ihaia |
| It is time we are all one. lets have a vote on it at the next election | Graeme |
| The Coalition particularly NZF MUST front up to this issue. NZF states there ARE NO PRINCIPLES IN THE TREATY so put that in context – NZF DOES NOT STAND A CANDIDATE IN THE MAORI SEATS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE THERE so do something about it. NZF BELIEVES THE WAITANGI TRIBUNAL HAS SERVED ITS PURPOSE so close it down. Every Maori is a consequence of colonial breeding whose progeny are NEW ZEALANDERS with a Maori heritage | Stan |

| Maori were NOT the first people in NZ. They are n o better than terrorists grabbing what is not theirs to grab. It must be stopped. | Noel |
| This is a “created” agenda, not the normal issue any country would normally have to deal with. Until we are colour blind, again, the rest don’t really matter – there won’t be a country. | Giles |
| Followed by education, health and economy. | steven |
| and the world is screaming for non genetically engineered food – we could make a fortune if we kept NZ GE free – the world would be scrambling to get our food. | anna |
| All the others issues are a very close second for me. New Zealand’s in big big trouble all round. | Pete |
| in reality it should be the 4 main points above | alastair |
| A racially divided country will fail and none of the others will matter. this has to be fixed with NZ returning to a single person country with no preferential treatment for anyone all one under one rule of law that treats everone the same. | Stuart |
| Until we have some common ground to ALL work together to get our Country UP again – we have to fix the elephant in the room | Peter |
| New Zealanders should be all one people. At the moment, Labour, Greens and TPM are doing their best to divide the country. I hope these radicals never get in again. | Steve |
| Is the current coalition govt. totally ignorant or just plain stupid if they cant see the path of separitism being promoted by most Govt. Departments. | Peter |

| Can someone tell me who is Maori? Willie Jackson is more Jew than Maori as he was found to be less than 3% Maori via DNA testing some years back. | Mark |
| govt cannot do much about health – education will fix race relations, and the economy will flourish once we get rid of acrid division. | murray |
| The continual reinforcement of Maori preferential rights and colonial evilness is creating an untenable situation in NZ. The easiest thing to stop immediately is theatest fad trend of appeasement and cultural adoption – more deeply rooted factual inaccuraces, land and other perceived treaty grievances will need a resolute parliament in terms of law making. | Mike |
| Health is number one. If people are ill they can’t do anything else. | James |
| If the tax payer funded gravy train that benefits one particular group is stopped, this country would have so much more money to spend on the core services that everyone benefits from. Its that simple yet this govt is too scared to doing anything about it. It’s so depressing the way this country is going | Shane |
| Race relations as a function of treaty overreach. | Anon |
| Equally the Economy with the ongoing damage the fraudulent ETS and carbon credit schemes which are wreaking havoc as people struggle with inflated costs of food and energy. | Kevin |

| Race relations a close second | Sue |
| Add health | Leonard |
| Spineless, WEF/UN Loving, and sadly their ardent follower… Luxdern! Get him gone and replace with either of the other two coalition partners, with Shane Jones as Leader. | Graham |
| Race relations and the possibility of a so called “Partnership” would be disastrous for NZ. The problems is that all of the above areas require attention particularly on what the Coalition undertook to do if they were elected. They were and we are still waiting to see any concerted effort to to enact those undertakings. | Ian |
| I believe all of the above need to be addresed but race relations worry me as no one the other 4 are underneath. as if Maori get their say in these they will go downhill | Barbara |
| I fear how how the radical Maori and the Greens are dividing our country, there used to be an old saying “Divide and Rule” and seems that is happening in NZ | Colleen |
| The ECONOMY is always paramount when a country faces headwinds. BUT race relations in the form of APARTHEID in NZ contributes massively and sometimes indirectly to our economic woes. | Geoff |
| It’s almost out of control | John |
| Without sorting this problem we cannot totally sort the others. Get rid of the race driven policies and then the path will be clearer for the others. | Sue |
| A divided country is a country that is in steep decline | Bede |
| Health and race-relations ae also very very important. | Denis |
| Race relations with educstion running s close 2nd. Maori are getting away with committing serious crimes .. even murder and the penalties they receive are next to nothing. And, our so called education system is just a joke. If parents even bother sending their children to school, they are being taught a bunch of lies and are being indocrinated into believing more lies regarding history. To make things worse, we the tsxpayers are proviimg these kids with free lunches. Time to remove all this crap and make parents responsible for their for their own children. | Des |
| All items need attention but without a strong economy we can’t afford most of the other options. | Marilyn |
| Many inequalities exist in the Heath system whereby Maori and Pacific Island get more “entitlements” than European. i.e. Food vouchers / free parking and this has been experienced in Auckland Hospital. | Ruth |
| People need people, not AI that don’t consume, its people that consume ,they need meaningful jobs that can have a productive outcome, buying cheep stuff from China has made us dependent on them. | James |
| He Paupau | john |
| This ‘Maorification has gone too far invading all Sectors of our Community. We are ONE Nation not Two !! Read your Treaty of Waitangi !! | Geoff |
| All of the issues you offer up for a vote are of major concern for NZ but the race relations issues impacting NZ currently are extremely concerning and divisive. The Coalition Government must address this and now. The bottle has been uncorked and the Jeannie is oozing out as we speak. The Government must show some leadership for the vey sake of NZ’s future. | Mark |
| unfortunately, the way we have been backed into a corner, in a bid to “make good” on the actions of our distant ancestors is costing the country so much in every sphere -economy, health, education, conservation, the list goes on. We need equal rights and responsibilities for all. | lynda |
| In my view beyond dispute . Maori Treaty of Waitangi ceded sovereignty forever in the Treaty of Waitangi . The Treaty mandates equality of citizenship before the law, leading to our democratic system and its values. Tribal participation and any form of shared sovereignty or co-governance has no place or role in our democratic system / structure/ values and no partnership arrangement of any sort between Maori and the Crown was ever contemplated or intended under the Treaty. It is about individual citizens. FULL STOP. Sovereignty is not divisible and the Crown does not enter into partnership arrangements / shared sovereignty. It is a contradiction in terms. This is a not-negotiable. Hence the push by the Maori elite for shared power / Sovereignty must be totally rejected. It ha NEVER been on the table. What we are about is equality of citizenship and unity NOT racial division and separatism. Hugh Perrett | Hugh |
| Get rid of the Waitangi Tribunal, get rid of all the Maori seats in Parliament, get rid of all the Maori propaganda in schools and Universities and on T,V. Thank you | Claire |
| Scrap all HE PUA PUA related agenda. | KEN |
| We are now experiencing another White FLIGHT with the good people leaving because of the Racist behaviour of our politicians and the Maori party and the Maori elite and the radicals who are encouraging this type of behaviour. And while we have a prime minister and his party totally ignoring the elephant in the room the situation will get worse, we as a country are in the SHIT. | Ken |
| High time we returned to the notion we are all equal | tony |
| Whilst the economy is crucial if the co-governance continues it will cripple economic growth and drive investment and people away. | john |
| Our economy is affected by all the payouts/money to maori iwis with no benefits to the country resulting from giving that money. Until this is stopped our ecomony will suffer. | John |
| Unless something is done by National regarding the rampant Maori push for Co-Governence in the immediate future, this country will be on its knees and worthless! National elected to remove all reference to He Puapua, but here we are at half-way point and nothing has changed, except for Luxon appearing to continually fail to stand up to Maori pressure ! This is not what he promised, NOR it is what we voted him in for!!. | Robyn |
| Reset the Treaty of Waitangi to its original role | Fergus |

| Education is the only factor which would enable progress to be made in each of the other three, with realistic, true learning being undertaken to tell the truth about race relations and our history, about the true medical and health situation and the how natural healing methods can be used instead of big pharma toxins, and financial education would enable people to become more financially literate, independent, knowledgeable and make wise financial decisions. | Alan |
| Though all are serious, race relations is they framework to enable or prevent the nation’s progress as a first world country. | mary |
| non-belief in the Westminster form of government and democracy are our greatest problems. the increasing forms of apartheid and separation in our government and quais government bodies is highly concerning, eg Nga Parewa Health and Disability Services Standards and AMINZ Constitution 3.1(B) and 3.2 ….. | ARTHUR |
| Maori wards out. Get Rid of the Treaty of Waitangi completely. He Puapua out! Tribal Rule out! | Marshal |
| Education because from that flows a decline in race relations. In all branches of state education children are being brainwashed to allow even more race based legislation in the future and the eventual death of democracy in this country. | Roger |
| our children are being brainwashed and maori are being put in strategic jobs to influence decisions | martin |
| Chose Race Relations not because it is at the top of the list but because it affects everything else. New Zealand is one country and we should be one peope, without any concessions based on race. Very disappointed in this regard. | Jane |
| It’s time the Prime Minister showed some backbone and stood up to the separatists who are dividing our country | John |
| Race relations (Maori dominance) have become a major factor in ALL aspects of life in New Zealand | Geoffrey |
| Without democracy we sink into anarchy. I really fear for our country at present. | Linda |
| theeconomy will and is coming right albeit, slowly. The devisiveness of the Maori Party is setting us back years and the Coalition Governemnt should be brave enough to halt this maori business on the head NOW | Graeme |
| This government urgently has to remove all preferential treatment for Maori, including compulsory use of Maori language in schools, broadcasting, place names, etc. The Waitangi Tribunal should be shut down ASAP. It has outlived its original purpose. | Laurence |
| We must revert back to all NZ citizens being treated equally. No more maori seats, privileges, tax breaks, special race based places in universities, medical school etc, Stop the maorification of European place names, education syllabus, Anzac day etc. etc. | Francis |
| This is so pervasive across all aspects of our lives – Treaty issues need sorting once & for all | Dianne |
| Lift public perception | David |
| Treason | Robyn |
| The economy drives the other options which makes it very important. | Murray |
| Racism is like rust.Given time no other problem will matter. Luxon and National are running out of time to face up to the tribalists and activists who are ruining this country. Maybe they should look in a mirror. At some point the Public Service needs to be purged of woke and DEI appointees and climate change rubbish. | Peter |
| Such a huge challenge for the Coalition to undo the Wasted Years and get NZ back on track! Great progress though, more to do. | Ian |
| long term it seems there is a move to segregate…..thath will be the end of the Kiwi dream. | Lionel |
| Cost of living and health, if people don’t have their health, they don’t have anything. | Kate |
| We should cut spending money on Maori and put it into health and education. Luxon seems reluctant to upset Maori in the meantime they are the elephant in the room. | Chris |
| With cost-of-living spiraling out of control due to transportation costs increases, profit gouging by the duopoly of supermarkets and the de-funding of public services by the government, how are two seniors (US!) supposed to maintain any sort of acceptable quality of life?? | Tony |
| The coalition needs to Immediately insist on doing what they promised if you voted for them – It is time for action NOW | mike |
| A gutless coalition and weak prime minister | john |
| The Coalition needs to make meaningful progress on this with National being the anchor. | George |
| All items are equally important | Ronnie |
| Fix race relations and stability can be returned to the country – with stability comes investment – with investment comes a strong economy, education and health naturally follow that line. As a potential investor in this country I’ve deliberately held off because there is no guarantee that my investments will be safe from idealists across the political spectrum and judiciary….from the demands of tribalist iwi and from insane councils. | Sacha |
| We need to maintain democracy and equal rights for all New Zealanders without holding one group above others. | Brian |
| New Zealand name and English Names are under threat Govt needs to act to protect as promised in getting back on track | leo |
| Corrupt government with zero leadership | Robyn |
| Maori want to divide NZ. It must not happen . | Liz |
| Have to get this headlong rush towards tribal rule by so called ‘Maoris’ ie activists sorted out before New Zealand can make any progress. We need democracy and a colour blind government asap. | Lee |
| In my view definitely Race Relations. While Luxon fiddles as NZ descends rapidly towards civil disobedience and possibly war. | Alan |
| Also the gmo situation very dangerous | Maree |
| Until the Government gets rid of the spectra of tribal co governance NZ will continue to flounder in a mire of apartheid in all other sectors. We deserve so much better | Carolyn |
| All of them but Race Relations will destroy NZ. I can no longer tell what dept / person I’m talking to.. at all. Or trying to search is impossilble. Its dangerous.. its ridiculous. | Charlotte |
| all of them | paul |
| The only measure to motivate, is to have one rule for us all regardless of race is to reward effort and performance, being mindful of the importance of nurturing attitude. | Andrew |
| A house divided Must fall. Not just some divided house -all of them. If you want to argue, talk to Jesus. He said it. | mick |
| All we get these days is Maoris wanting more of everything, contributing nothing for it and wanting to run NZ their way which shows disasterville | Warren |
| I think we are an honest country for the most part – the Gov deal with the business of the country ok. The Race relations is full of deception, power control, indoctrination of education, and sides with the woke ideology. So it continues to insult and annoy the majority of NZers, who are proud happy citizens. Getting very tired of it. | Maurice |
| The demands are getting higher and more outrageous | Laurie |
| All are important | mike |
| The consideration of even thinking about passing the Gene Technology Bill | Bruce |
| The economy, health and education are all critical areas of concern, but race relations could be the downfall of our country if we don’t wake up and put an end to all race-based governing policies | Mark |
| Spineless leadership from national | Andy |
| The whole four actually are of great concern. The coalition has not done what was promised. | John |
| Maori are claiming rights unnecessarily in matters that are not of their concern. | Paul |
| Why is the Government still pouring our countries money into tribal pockets when the news has shown them to be the richest companies in the country. | Bill |
| The other issues are largely being dealth with by the coalition. Race relations are deteriorating and require urgent and decisive action to change the present direction of travel. | Chris |
| APARTHEID masquerading as “Race Relations” is the number 1 issue facing this country. It was introduced via Acts and statutes based on a false fake Freeman’s English version of the treaty that does not agree with the original Maori treaty text by none other than our very own ‘democratic’ GOVERNMENT(S). Surely not!! | neil |
| Race relations number one. Remove all He Puapua takeover from the country and the economy, health, education and NZ will be a better place. This would help NZrs re think departing the country for much more stable countries. It must be bad here when white South Africans are leaving. | Allan |
| The activists have their tails in the air and their racial bullying is difficult for ordinary citizens to resist Its not going to end well for everyone | malcolm |
| It’s the govt. They are not attempting enough improvement in any of those other crucial items listed. | David |
| Division is ruining this country and control of water and public land cannot be handed over to one small group to hold the country to ransom as happened with Waitaki hydro. | Alan |
| The Economy then Race Relations,,Health & Education | Lynne |
| a weak economy, everything else suffers. | Geoff |
| The Climate Change (Anthropogenic theory) fraud is the biggest problem in NZ. It threatens our freedom, property rights, our food and energy supply and is leading to digital IDs and CBDCs. And it’s all based on unscientific models that have either been totally wrong or fraudulently inflated with their results. Complete madness | Allan |
| All of the above topics to undermine our country, assets and resources using race, climate change land grabs and ‘taxation’ through or to enable all of the above. Luxon is no better than Labour all Globalists, AKA the uniparty. | Max |
| Got to get the activist Maori out of Parliament, Govt Depts, local Councils etc so that we can have Equality back for all. | Greg |
| If the National coalition Govt. can eliminate racism and abolish the TOW then everything else will fall into place. We also need to get out of WHO, and the UN. | Wayne |
| The racial divide impacts each of the other areas and fundamentally stops us moving forward as one people. While one group demand to be treated differently to the rest of the population we have a huge problem that we are not even allowed to talk about without being called racist. | Lucy |
| Maori needs to get their “Act” together The 3 sanctioned Maori MP do not best represent the majority of NZ Maori | Graham |
| We are heading down the path of Apartheid- nothing less | Hylton |
| Both Race Relations and Economy work “Hand in hand” !!! | Ross |
| The erosion of our basic human rights and a lack of accountability from our public servants | Gerard |
| We need to be ONE team | douglas |
| The coalition seems to be ignoring the creeping Maorification that started under Ardern. | Steve |
| You need money to work on the rest… | Mark |
| Race relations comes close | Max |
| National needs to put right all the woke changes and Maori agenda that Ardern allowed take place into our country. she needs to be ignored. | Heather |
| This has done more to pull this country down than everything else. We had a great country until this mess started. | Fraser |
| maori actiivisim is destroying NZ | George |
| A combination of both economy and race relations whereby it is difficult to press forward whilst racial claims, aided by activist agendas and socialist ideologies, have combined to act as an anchor to NZ’s progress in so many areas. Once freed of these shackles the nation could leap forward and the benefits would flow through to other much needed areas such as health and education. | John |

| Nz for all New Zealanders | Jenny |
| We need to get rid of the racist maori seats in both local and central government and disband the waitangi tribunal. Get on with living as New Zealanders and making this great control better and prosperous for all | Alec |
| GMO’s are a threat to our exports. Can’t believe they think this will provide economic growth. Countries don’t want GM food & emissions aren’t a problem. | Sue |
| Education a close 2nd. Maorification | Evans |
| Governments created our Race relations problems. Enriched and empowered Iwi. Only government can resolve and re-establish Deocracy. Have they got the country at heart? I have my doubts. | Laurie |
| If our race relations was solved and all New Zealanders were equal the effect would trickle down to our other needs. No more payments for moari only positions created throughout all sector’s, cut all moari seats as we have plenty of elected Maori politician’s to give fair representation, remove propaganda which has been infiltrated through our education systems therefore helping all to move forward with positivity and to prosper, no more money for playing whale song to kauri trees and other such nonsense | Doug |
| Racism continues to plague New Zealand. It has to stop now because we all have the same rights and privileges. | Gavin |
| I ticked economy because without a stable functional economy, the others don’t matter. | Neil |
| Animal welfare | Tony |
| National energy production. Government don’t inform the public the inability of wind and solar, due to supply constraints and their cost, to provide a solution to future energy needs. | Geoff |
| All the above, until New Zealand goes through some form of shock therapy to all the above questions we will just carry on down the same road. What is happening in the US now with their riots and left wing madness should be a wake up call to every New Zealand, our MSM would whole heartly support such behavior here. | Sven |
| Second is the economy | David |
| All of the above listed. No backbone in addressing & promoting NZ as one country…we are becoming the New Zimbabwe. Have accountability for frivolous Council spending, Arts & Cultures should fund their own agenda, Tribes should pay full taxes not a tiny percentage. Immigration…bring in skills only, every family older member should work and pay taxes & have NZ Health Insurance for a minimum of 15 years before even being able to apply for the super, and then, and only then they will receive the Super based on the taxes they have paid. Teenagers on the DPB, free birth control…promote “Put more between your earholes rather than your leghole and you will have more opportunity to succeed and steer away from poverty and leaching off the taxpayers. | Kathryn |
| We are all New Zealanders equally. | Roy |
| Our democratic processes have failed and are failing such that special interest groups have been able to capture our Government and media, in the process locking out all dissenting views, regardless of their merit. | John |
| All 4 are equally crucial!!! | shane |
| The half cast agitators will destroy this country | Dave |
| Education standards have plummeted in the last few decades. Tertiary institutions have been commandeered by left wing ideologies. If we dont prepare our young people adequately to compete in the modern world, we are doomed to stagnate as a society. All of the above factors are important or vital, but I believe the failures of our Education bureaucracy are the most serious for the long run. | davidf |
| bring back one nation one people. Remove apartheid. | Mat |
| Get the Economy back on track, restructure our Health system and promote Education. All big challenges. and will take time and lots of hard decisions. Then we can tackle Radical Race Relations and show the Radicals up for the what they are Useless | frank |
| The division of race relations poisons everything. | Trevor |
| I wish the Govt wouldn’t keep dodging the Race Relations issue. NZ debt is next on my list, and again Govt like the last one is not grasping the nettle! | Graham |
| The flawed Treaty interpretation being pushed by left wing media and activists is at the heart of racial division escalating in New Zealand. Sovereignty was ceded by the Maori chiefs to the Crown and there is absolutely no evidence of a constitutional partnership in any historical research on the Treaty of Waitangi. | Grant |
| The Maori electorates need to be abolished. They were supposed originally to only be temporary but now give Maori a disproportionate control in Parliament and thus getting further ahead with there policy to eventally have total control of NZ. | Peter |
| Definitely racism | Graeme |
| That one issue affects all of the others | Raphael |
| Family breakdown | Paul |
| When one race has privilege over other races that is racism, regardless of direction. National seem unable to read the elephant in the room. Once given will be very difficult to remove. See what happens when you take toys away from children. | Ross |
| The National party doesn’t seem to care that yNew Zealand is heading increasingly faster towards tribal control and anarchy. The PM has to stand up and make good on his election promises or start packing his bags. | Terry |
| Wasteful govt expenditure is out of control. The govt needs to get expenditure to 25% of GDP asp | Brian |
| Every bureaucratic statement on paper should be signed by the author so NZ gets an idea on who is driving the ideology contrary to Parliaments wishes | Basil |
| We should all be treated equally | chris |
| The economy is not helped our climate change alarmist PM and how he harms farmers/ | Chuck |
| If Race relations are not sorted and any ideas of co-governance done away with, then NZ is not going to be the place I want to be. We ALL have to wake up and see the grave danger we are in. | BrUcE |
| National have sold out its voters since Bolger. Luxon is of the same ilk. | Frank |
| Disaster threatens if co-governance develops | Graham |
| The prevalence of equity and racial-bias over equality of opportunity undermines the will of NZers to better themselves. A housing market tilted in favour of investors over owner-occupiers thoroughly undermines under-40yo’s aspirations … hence off to Oz. | Chris |
| Got to start with the root cause of all other issues. The removal of that false ideology of “Treaty Settlements” and Waitangi Tribunal reparations forever are the priorities to getting NZ back as One. The other subsets “creating a Maori economy, Maori Health Authority, Maori influenced education from Kindergarten to University” are all “payback from the taxpayer” and all linked to the planned takeover by 2040 | Mark |
| Stamp out any race based policies, elected parties need to honour voter’s Vote | Brenda |
| Unlikely to vote for my preffered party in the coalition if they dont sort this out – it is a major issue in our society. Lets pull the scap of it and deal with it. | Mike |
| Tho the economy comes a close second | Alice |
| too much money being spent on promoting seperatism and gifting to a particular race, when our economy is failing | gaye |
| Energy | Chris |
| Race relations causes major problem in holding up progress and the costs are high the payout to iwi appears to continue. The anti colonial and treaty lie needs to be put to bed. Not sure this government is prepared to do that. | Martyn |
| Race relations and the promotion of all things Maori by our Establishment are certainly a significant cause in the problems of Health and Education. Without addressing this divisive issue to ensure everyone has the same rights and responsibilities NZ will continue to decline and our most ablest will flee overseas. | Derek |
| One people! Nothing else is acceptable! | Michael |
| Maoriification of this country is continuing at pace, this MUST be stopped especially in schools | Gareth |
| If this matter isn’t addressed fully and finally within the next few months – it’ll be too late. | Jim |
| As long as the Maori in parliament carry on as they do, when they bother to turn up at all, I feel the country is out of control and I feel unsafe. | Diane |

| Until the separatism is eliminated, none of the other issues matter. | Rod |
| Maorification of NZ in every area of our society | Paul |
| If race relations are not improved, civil war is inevitable at some point. | Mark |
| Race relations first and foremost. Urgently. This is what I voted for and I won’t be voting National ever again. Then health definitely. And education. What a mess! If I were younger I would be heading overseas too. | Sheila |
| All of them, where is the leadership to address the issues facing these topics, plus a whole raft of others including law and order as well as policing | Rob |
| the Maorification of NZ imposed by Adern and her Govt and allowed to continue by Luxon and the Nats, has got in the way of all of the other problems and priorities | Mike |
| Unless there is a rapid and total about-turn by the government to abolish the race-based policies imposed upon New Zealanders by the Marxist Adern government, and continued on steroids by National in the current term. there will be no economy worth saving in the near future. Everything will rapidly be sucked down the drainpipe as our once great democracy continues to descend into a third-world banana republic, with control firmly under the command of tribal leaders determined to return to a stone age culture. | COLIN |
| Not one decision should be based on ethnicity | Michael |
| The Gene Technology Bill will effect everyone in New Zealand if it is passed. | caren |
| Economy but Race relations is extremely bad also | Ange |
| Somehow we have got to find a way to stop the the endless Maori nonsense that is permeating through schools, universities, government departments, private businesses etc. We never voted for this and if we don’t stop it soon, we will be forced to accept this as the norm. We should not have to accept what is not our culture or beliefs. Perhaps everyone should read George Orwell’s 1984 to see that is happening right under out noses. | Bev |
| Sort this out first, then attend to all of the rest, thank you | Roy |
| The current push for co-governance, if not stopped, will result in violence in New Zealand – if the current government does not act on this issue being the main reason that it was voted into government, eventually the people will push back. What a sad day for New Zealand that will be. | David |
| One person one vote and put a stop to race based rules. | David |
| Maori radicals / crazies | mike |
| Racial division and the Apartheid thrust of The Maori Party is destroying NZ and the racial harmony we had been gaining!! | DAVID |
| Not printable | Russ |
| NZ needs to get rid of this divisive he puapua stuff. I could tick economy, health and education options as well, but they are all largely linked to the aparthiet system currently and undemocratically being imposed apon us. God Defend NZ, because it seems the Nat’s wont. | Andrew |
| Weak Leadership over this issue will keep loading the additional cost of Woke-ism on all Kiwis instead of turning the economy direction to more productive businesslike values. | Andrew |
| All of the above. The Gene tech bill does not only affect farmers – it affect everyone because the chem trail goings on are poisoning the ground with aluminium and other stuff thus getting to the stage where only GMO seeds will germinate – just reflect on that. That will mean no home grown gardens | Ian |
| Luxon is an idiot for not supporting ACT and the treaty principals bill. I’m no longer National Party member and because this is such an important issue have joined and support ACT. | Peter |
| Co Governance. Which actually means, no governance. | Michael |
| The one big problem, in N.Z, at this time is the fact that the country, is so divided, on ALL aspects. The last lot, that were in Govt, did a great job of dividing us by Race,gender religion, politics, and the covid 19 scam that was devastating, for the country. ARDERN,DIPKINS, LITTLE, AND ROBERTSON were the authors of all of this, and they will at some stage have to be held accountable, all of them tried to run away, but now the chooks are coming home to roost! | David |
| Its’ very sad that the main item on the list of priorities, has been ‘forgotten’, that is the COVID/SARS 2 SCAMDEMIC, NOT EVEN A MENTION?? have KIWIS got such terrible short memories, and are still Brainwashed, as ever? wow , this country is in real Trouble… even after a supposed enqury??One wonders… | David |
| Until we sort out the problem of true equality NZ will be weighed down by the nonsense being touted by Maori activists in the seats of power in government and elsewhere. It’s well past time that a fair society is achieved for all to love productively and peacefully. | Susan |
| White New Zealanders are being treated like secondlike second class citizens. | Ken |
| Who is going to invest time and/or money in an economy where race based grifting is sanctioned, if not encouraged, by parliament and local govt? I put race relations at no. 1 because it’s screwing with our economy. and messing with our kids education, which impacts our future economy. Ignoring racial issues isn’t working. | Wendy |
| Tribal rule that will take us back to pre 1840 but with all the benefits technology and modern living but of course dished our freely to these unconstructive anarchists | Leon |
| It is very frustrating that change is so slow so many of the initiatives that have been introduced, will not make a difference until well after the election. | Donald |
| The economy is a huge problem but one that can be fixed. On the other hand, if the tribal coup is not nipped in the bud, our democracy is doomed. | Murray |
| The Coalition has been so disappointing in not stopping the iwi power grab. It is getting worse, not better. If Labour wins the election and the Maori Party takes control, the country is doomed. | Penny |
| It’s time Chris Luxon showed leadership and demanded that race-based policies and procedures are either axed or replaced with ones that are needs based. Non-compliant staff should be given their marching orders. | Hugh |
| To see Jacinda Ardern flaunting her so-called achievements as Prime Minister when the country was left in such a mess is truly sickening. But it’s been interesting to hear her book has received many bad reviews. | Bryce |
