By Dr Muriel Newman New Zealand is now reaping the consequences of the misguided appeasement strategy adopted by successive governments when dealing with the growing demands of radical Maori leaders. They have bent over backwards apologising and kowtowing to these activists, even [...]

By Dr Muriel Newman International commitment to the United Nations Paris Agreement is crumbling. Governments around the world are either rejecting or reducing their climate targets because the cost of compliance is so high they cannot be achieved without sacrificing [...]

By Vincent Vos A couple of weeks ago, a small delegation of Forum for Democracy travelled to London for the second global conference of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship. We were joined by 4000 other people from all over the [...]

By Dieuwe de Boer Two unrelated stories caught my eye due to two unrelated events this week, but they both tell the same sorry story about the state of politics in New Zealand. "Streamlining and simplifying the Resource Management Act [...]

By Peter Williams The empire's striking back It is one of the most significant moves in the history of the New Zealand media. In time it may be seen as one of the most important manoeuvres in our recent social [...]

By Rachel Stewart And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find [...]

By Michael Reddell I’d been thinking last week of writing a post looking ahead to the end of Adrian Orr’s term (due to have run until March 2028) and offering some thoughts on structural changes the government should be looking [...]

By Dieuwe de Boer The government's latest announcement to expand the powers of citizen's arrests are the first ray of light in favour of the common man when it comes to fighting thieves. The increase in violence crime ushered in [...]

By Rodney Hide It was shocking how the institutions we thought we could rely on crumbled like a stack of cards. The opposition, the media, the courts, the bureaucracy. Poof. Overnight our government became tyrannical. We were locked down and [...]

By Lindsay Perigo Well, what a brouhaha!  What a commotion! What a melee! What a maelstrom! What sound and fury! What tumult! What bedlam!    What a delight!    The Globalist agenda exposed and its bluff called, in broad daylight. [...]

By Fiona Mackenzie New Zealand is facing a significant freedom of speech crisis. Across the country, people dependent on their business or employment income are being intimidated into silence regarding the influence of the tribal elite over many aspects of [...]

By Rodney Hide Chris Luxon is done. He staggers on but he no longer has the command or respect a Prime Minister needs.  He’s proved middle management at best. His policies are Jacinda’s. His social media posts appear like skits. [...]

By Rodney Hide The post below is in text or can be viewed as two video clips. You may find the content confronting but as Rodney says it is, " ... representative of the 196 page Navigating the Journey for [...]

By Bryce Wilkinson Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says he wants a bureaucracy that says “yes.” He is right to want that of course, but a lot of current rules would need to change. Under current rules, far too much is [...]

By David Harvey This article looks at some of the changes proposed to the Constitution of InternetNZ. It is not a complete study or critique of the Constitutional changes proposed but focusses on a couple of issues albeit important ones [...]

By Michael Johnston Some people think we live in relatively safe times. Those people are naïve. It is true that you are much less likely to die in a workplace accident, on the road, in a war, or from an [...]

By Dieuwe de Boer I hadn't followed the story of Janet Dickson's fight against the Real Estate Authority (REA) very closely. I knew she objected to the REA requiring real estate agents to do a left-wing "cultural course" before they [...]

By Rodney Hide Last week my 13-year-old at Wakatipu High studied in English “An introduction to culture and identity in literature”. The class guide was as follows: Below are some links to helpful clips that may be useful for understanding [...]

By Simon O'Connor In recent days, JD Vance - the Vice-President of the United States - made some comments around love, including both ‘how’ and ‘who’ we should love. His comments and the consequent reaction illustrates a stark contrast between [...]

By Rodney Hide President Trump promised to drain the swamp. He has turned it upside down, kicked it around, and is jumping on it.  His opponents are left defending fraud, waste and corruption, paper straws and deranged men hellbent on [...]

By Rachel Stewart Just what is it about the NZ Free Speech Union (NZFSU) defending the “free speech” of drag queens reading books to kids in a public library that bothered me - and many others - so much? Well, [...]

By Dieuwe de Boer All the winning that's going on in the United States is a stark reminder how far we still have to go. As Trump announced to restore the English name of Mount McKinley in Alaska, our own [...]

By Don Brash and Michael Reddell When Don was young and Michael’s parents were young, New Zealand had among the very highest material standards of living in the world. It really was, in the old line, one of the very [...]

By Bryce Wilkinson If you believe some of its critics, the pending Regulatory Standards Bill is a demonic measure to end New Zealand society as we know it. This is beyond false; it is ridiculous. In fact, it is a [...]

By William McGimpsey The recent furor in New Zealand around John Minto and his so-called “genocide hotline” provides a good illustration of just what life will be like inside the multicultural longhouse our society is being steered toward. Minto is [...]

By Mary Hobbs The future depends on what we do in the present. — Mahatma Gandhi The Gene Technology Bill – Part 1 The First Reading of the Gene Technology Bill 2024 was introduced to Parliament on 17 December 2024, by [...]

By Rodney Hide I struggle to believe former Prime Minister Helen Clark thinks Elon Musk is a Nazi. That doesn’t stop her of accusing him of being one and of him advocating genocide. Here’s her post on X on 26 [...]

By Paige Wills It’s disheartening and enraging to see Silver Fern Farms betray the very farmers it claims to represent and surrender to global greenwashing under the false banner of “sustainability”. Their latest email (18/12/24) outlining Scope 3 Emissions Targets [...]

By Michael Bassett So loud are the squeals from the likes of Debbie Ngarewa-Packer against the new appointments to the Waitangi Tribunal that I can only assume that Minister Tama Potaka has got things right. And that the new [...]

By Peter Williams The last bastion has cracked. NZME, the only stock exchange listed news gathering operation in the country, has had to face reality and tell staff that jobs at the New Zealand Herald and Newstalk ZB will have to [...]

By William McGimpsey Mere days into the new Trump administration and DEI mandates have been abolished, official government policy is there are only two genders, and Lyndon Johnson’s executive order authorising affirmative action has been terminated. Trump promised in his [...]

By David Seymour Sometimes New Zealand is all milk and honey. Other times you can sense widespread frustration that things could be better. Our country is in one of those times where we need to choose how we proceed. We [...]

By Dr Muriel Newman Freedom, democracy and the Rule of Law are the cornerstones of a modern society. So, let’s start 2025 with a quick stocktake on how well these foundations are being defended. First of all, it’s important to [...]

By Keri Molloy A hit-or-miss approach to gene technology could be catastrophic for New Zealand and its peoples. There’s no certainty that GMOs are safe or beneficial. Public submissions are now being called for the Gene Technology Bill. The closing [...]

By Peter Williams If you were hoping race relations temperatures in 2025 might reduce after the simmering discontent of the hikoi, Christchurch organization Brown Town has turned up the thermostat. In an extraordinary act of tone deafness they’ve decided if [...]

By Michael Reddell Don Brash: This short analysis of the current fiscal position as compared with the fiscal position as projected shortly before the Labour Government left office is sobering. Chris Hipkins and other Labour spokespeople are talking as if [...]

By William McGimpsey I appreciate the opportunity to comment on the Treaty Principles Bill and applaud the ACT Party and the Government for allowing ordinary Kiwis to have this opportunity. I agree with Mr Seymour and the ACT Party that [...]
