Rowan Atkinson says he feels ‘duped’ by electric cars
"The actor, who studied an electrical and electronic engineering degree, points out that electric cars have emissions during production (that) are 70 per cent higher than petrol vehicles "..
After her appalling address to the UN condemning free speech as a "weapon", I don't think it is appropriate for Ardern to have any future role in representing New Zealand

Taking back New Zealand
"For probably the first time in living memory, New Zealand has a government that’s explicitly dedicated to dismantling the work of its predecessor."
Winston Peters: The state of New Zealand's media
"they think they know what’s best for the people of New Zealand, dictate what we all should or should not know, and then spin their narrative through the lens of their bias."
"New Zealand has absolutely no future unless it acknowledges what Article III of the Treaty made abundantly clear, that all New Zealanders have equal rights and responsibilities."
His Master's Voice.
Why did Hipkins meet in Beijing with the author of the dystopian Great Reset? Please explain how New Zealand's interest were served by this?
"The reality is that Newshub was not a truly independent voice. It was in lockstep with every other MSM outlet on the significant matters of our time – treaty issues, climate and covid. It didn’t offer any alternative views."
"Ardern is a vacuous politician who has little understanding of history and civics and is blissfully unaware of the damage that she has caused to New Zealand’s economy, democratic institutions, civil liberties and sense of social cohesion."
URGENT from Peter Williams for the Taxpayers' Union
Officials are trying to prevent 3 Waters being scrapped.
"At a confidential briefing last night, we discovered that the Department of Internal Affairs has hired 427 policy officials for Three Waters."
12 and a half minutes of your life you won't regret. Watch David Seymour surgically demolish blustering Woke Lefty journo and succinctly set out Act's colour-blind program to save New Zealand.
Karl du Fresne takes John Campbell and TVNZ to task for their continual, unbalanced, ideologically motivated, anti-government bias which is inappropriate for a taxpayer-funded broadcaster:
Never forget, Wiles was one of the leaders of the despicable campaign against the "Listener Seven" who questioned the portrayal of Matauranga Maori as "science".
Muriel Newman: The state of democracy
"by giving Māori activists 50 per cent of voting rights on decision-making boards, they gain the power of veto – effectively replacing democracy with tribal totalitarianism."
ACT renews call to abolish the Human Rights Commission
"“The new co-Chief Executive, entering a position advertised with a salary of up to $286,900, will serve in addition to the existing two bosses."
The public service is out of control.
"New Zealand society is overdue for a clean-out of DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) politics, particularly from our education institutions, and from Government ministries."
"Our MainStream Media is now waging war on NZ First, National and ACT, much in the way the media turned on Trump and is presently turning on Musk. Our MSM no longer respects democracy and holds the view our present government is illegitimate."
This article by Richard Prebble calling for an independent inquiry into New Zealand's "immoral, incoherent and failed" Zero COVID strategy needs to be widely shared.
Prepare to be blown away. In an insane "Captain's Call" against all official advice, and without consulting Parliament, Ardern has committed $30 billion to UN Climate Change programs into the future. How many hospitals or schools would that fund?

Rates will rise if Auckland stops work on Three Waters - Ardern
“Three Waters, ultimately, is about keeping costs down for ratepayers". This was a bare-faced lie. Ratepayers are to be made liable for 3 Waters debt under Mahuta's Amendment bill..

Minister Simeon Brown to Mayor Tory Whanau, reading the riot act. Sooo good!
"State-owned TV One is on a crusade to criticise every idea and every change of direction advanced by the new government. It does do not identify who was responsible for creating the mess that is the subject of the clean-up unless it’s National."
Why are we paying for a spiteful Ardern to promote her "brand" by badmouthing New Zealanders to international audiences?
@chrisluxonmp
@winstonpeters
. Fire her now!
Labour continued to spend up large on 3 Waters hiring hundreds of staff even when caretaker government. We predicted three months ago the media would try to blame National for the costs when they axed it. The blame lies squarely with Hipkins.
"Almost 40 years since the Royal Commission recommended that Maori electorates be abolished , almost 30 years after we did adopt MMP, and more than 150 years since Maori electorates were created for just five years, it’s time they were scrapped.

It is clear now we have reached a crisis-point. Will New Zealanders who have no Maori ancestry become second class citizens in their own country forever, under the Labour Party's Apartheid project? Your choice.

So violence by young males against elderly women doesn't merit a conviction in New Zealand, that would be "disproportionate". Disgusting.
Damien Grant: Under Ardern's guidance, we became the nasty team of 5 million

This is mind-blowing. I have long suspected the public were being manipulated over the so-called "climate crisis" but here's the evidence. You have done a great service in exposing this corrupt practice, Thomas.
"If Labour, the Greens and the Maori Party were to form a government, democracy as normally understood – with all citizens having equal political rights, irrespective of their ethnicity or when they arrived in New Zealand – is done for."
Karl du Fresne calls for John Campbell's sacking for misusing his position in a state media organisation to promote his own, unbalanced, implacably hostile agenda towards a democratically elected government. Let's do this!

You have serious issues around judgement Nicola. These people are protesting dictatorial and unjust mandates that serve no genuine purpose and which have been discarded in Europe. Wrong side of history today.

Will New Zealand be forced to hand over $30 billion for foreign carbon because of Ardern's mad, self-serving commitment, or should we repudiate it now?

From start to finish, Ardern was fixated on her "international brand." Kiwis only counted insofar as they might contribute to that obsession through dumb obedience to her diktats. Most of them were eager to oblige.

So when Jacinda made her captains call and massively reduced our available energy, did she think of this?
Of course not.
