So we should be asking how the current coalition government has performed since taking over at the 2023 election, and asking what the other parties have got to offer for our future in the upcoming election battle Nationals Leader, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon told the nation in his state of the nation speech that National is concentrating on fixing the basics and building the future. My question for him is simply what part of the basics…

In my previous article I discussed at length how the Treaty of Waitangi has been weaponised by a small group of radicals and used to cast the blame onto early settlors for all of the so-called harm suffered by Maori as a result of colonisation. I also discussed how this process seems to have accelerated over recent years particularly since the passing into law of the Treaty of Waitangi Act in 1975. The Treaty which the Maori chiefs signed…

According to the people of Ngapuhi (tribe of the Far North), the first Maori to reach New Zealand was their ancestor, Kupe who ventured across the Pacific on his waka hourua (voyaging canoe) from his ancestral Polynesian homeland of Hawaiki, making landfall at the Hokianga Harbour in Northland. You will not find Hawaiki on a map, but it is believed Maori came from an island or group of islands in Polynesia in the South Pacific Ocean. New…

I was sent the article below and do not know who the author was but full credit to them for a brilliant bit of humour. ***Students were asked*** **to write an essay on "THIEVES". This is what one student wrote:** **Thieves are an important part of a nation's economy. They play a significant role in providing employment and contributing to the nation's development.** **Safes, locks, lockers, cupboards, etc., are made only because of thieves.…

After reading an article published on the “Breaking Views” website, related to the He Puapua report and analysis of Waatea News reporting on the related outcomes from that report, the article convinced me to return to one that I wrote back in 2023 which detailed the Labour Government and Willie Jacksons reasons for not worrying about the introduction of the He Puapua report. But in actual fact my opinion at that time and also now in light of…

Currently the Waikato Regional Council is awaiting the final outcome from the Environment Court hearing into the objections around PC1. PC1 is the proposed change to be made to the operative Waikato Regional Plan that was put forward by the Waikato Regional Council back in 2016. It is expected PC1 will be operative next year and, depending on the final results of the Environment Court hearing, that farmers might need to get resource consent…

Although Koi Carp are mainly only found in the Waikato region at the present time, you can bet on the fact that they will spread across the whole country eventually if they are not controlled in some way. Waikato koi rarely exceed 9 years of age. Females average 5.2 years and males 4.6 years of age. An average fish weighs 3 kg. Females produce 100 000 eggs per kg of body weight. A typical female can produce 300 000 eggs annually (or more if…

Prior to the election in 2023 National promised to fix the economic disaster that the Labour Government had left behind and also promised to do away with all race based legislation and stop all talk of co-governance at any level. After seeing the latest figures released yesterday (18th Dec) it is obvious that the policies that the coalition government have implemented are starting to pay a dividend with the GDP figure for the 3rd quarter…

Centrist Publishing arranged for television advertising for the book Jacinda: The Untold Stories; an unauthorised biography by David Cohen which was screened during the Graham Norton show on TVNZ 2, Friday 12th December. The advertising has galvanised Jacinda’s supporters and got them outraged and calling for complaints to be made to the Broadcasting Standards board such as the example that follows: *“for airing a book known for spreading…

In my honest opinion New Zealand is gradually becoming a more racist country as time goes by, with the modern day so-called “Maori Elite” as the main proponents, ably assisted by the mainstream media. You may well ask why I hold that opinion and what is my reason for saying this. The answer to that question would have to be that the main reason for this opinion is due to the Treaty of Waitangi. Before you start to send out search and destroy…

In December 2020, the then Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern called climate change ‘one of the greatest challenges of our time’, declared a “Climate Emergency” and pledged a carbon-neutral government by 2025 The declaration of a climate emergency was supported by the Green Party and Maori Party and opposed by the National and Act parties. Speaking in parliament after its introduction, Ardern said the country must “act with urgency”.  “This…

Maori are the “Indigenous People of New Zealand”. At least that is what some would have us believe. Many of the so-called tribal elite of the Iwi have been claiming that their people have a partnership right under the Treaty of Waitangi, and they are trying to achieve a co-governance role in NZ. One of the factors they use to back their claims for a partnership is the supposed status of Maori as the indigenous people of NZ. We have been told…

The Green Party stated that they will revoke any consents or permits issued under this Government’s new fast-track legislation for coal mining, hard-rock gold mining and seabed mining. The Government’s bill covers mining as well as infrastructure, quarrying, housing, renewable energy and farming projects. Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson said the legislation had failed “even the most basic standards of transparency, accountability and…

The Nursing Council states that it is committed to ensuring Te Tiriti o Waitangi is instilled into the values of their organisation and is fundamental to the way in which the Council undertakes its statutory roles. As a regulatory authority, independent from the Crown, they state they have a responsibility to work with iwi and Māori to give effect to and realise the promise of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. They state that achieving this will require…

We have recently seen many articles in the media related to the changes in the school curriculum championed by the Minister of Education, Hon Erica Stanford and the general consensus seems to be that they have seen almost an immediate upturn in basic literacy and numeracy for our children. Great news for all concerned as this is what the education system is there for; to educate our children and provide them with the skills to achieve in their…

There currently seems to be a radical agenda to advance Maori supremacy instead of democracy in New Zealand. This is being supported in a large part by a network of bureaucrats and academics, who, along with a vast array of private sector advocates including many in the legacy media and the unions are promoting race-based changes. This network of bureaucrats, academics and others who are championing this promotion of race based changes which…

We are currently hearing much commentary from some Maori in relation to ownership of land in New Zealand. The fact is that land in New Zealand held under Māori Title is now approximately 6 per cent of the total land mass. The commentary seems to be making the inference that this has come about because the land was taken from their ancestors and there was something untoward in the fact that Maori have ended up with only 6 percent of the land in…

**PC1 Why Bother Complying** You may well ask what he is on about. Under Plan Change 1 the agricultural industries are going to be hit with a raft of new regulations and rules for compliance; the aim being to improve the water quality in the region. Even though only 15 of the sub-catchments in the Waikato and Waipa catchments were exceeding the standards proposed to be introduced through the enactment of PC1 at the time it was proposed. The…
