Honesty & Action

Honesty & Action

That’s what the average voter wants from their elected government!

What have we got from the current government?

Inaction on the things that voters had expected as a result of the election changes they had voted for. The National Party led coalition government in their first 18 months in office have not delivered on many of the issues that encouraged New Zealanders to vote for change.

They have made progress on some issues, but they have made almost no progress on many others.

This failure to act on many of the issues has resulted in what would almost be seen as dishonesty by not following up on their pre-election promises.

If we want to identify the issues that the coalition is failing to address we only need to look back at the track record of the last Labour government. When they were voted out of office in October 2023, inflation was at record levels, the economy was going backwards, crime figures were rising rapidly, health and education were failing, and racial division was on the rise.

Under the Labour Government race, gender, and sexuality were primary considerations when hiring into the public service.

Through the special ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ (DEI) clauses in the 2020 Public Services Act recruiting prioritised identity rather than merit, and as a result, state institutions were almost overrun with activists pushing their ideological agendas. A large proportion of the approximately 19,000 additional Public Service staff recruited during those Labour years were DEI hires.

The emergence of Labour’s He Puapua agenda to introduce tribal governance resulted in a rapid escalation in the number of highly paid Maori managers. For example, the number employed by Statistics New Zealand – an agency that signed a co-governance deal with iwi leaders to help ‘massage’ census data – rose from zero in 2017 to 26 percent in 2023, and in the Ministry of Culture and Heritage the numbers increased from zero to 29 percent.

As a result of the explosion of DEI initiatives and the integration of the fabricated Treaty “partnership” culture throughout the state sector, NZ’s democratic systems became overrun with race based regulation.

A classic example of this is seen in the 2020 Education and Training Act which became a tool used to indoctrinate children. From pre-school to tertiary level, the focus of education being transformed from academic excellence and achievement to knowledge of Maori rights and the Treaty.

With many so-called tribal elite leaders pressing for co-governance of our country, the Labour government used its total majority in the parliament to push for inclusion of Maori privilege under the fabricated Treaty “partnership”, across both government departments other organisations which relied on the government for registration.

To the dismay of voters, the 2023 election and change in Government has not stopped these separatists’ from attempting to transform New Zealand into a race based society under the name of “Aotearoa”.

The 24,000 incorporated societies listed with the company’s office are required to re-register with a new constitution by April 2026 as a result of Labour’s 2022 changes to the Incorporated Societies Act.

Tens of thousands of private groups throughout the country are being pressured into adopting new constitutions based on the Treaty – even though Treaty obligations are the sole responsibility of the Crown, not the private sector.

As a result, organisations like the New Zealand real Estate Authority; the New Zealand Law Society; the New Zealand Pharmaceutical Council now require the indoctrination of members through anti-racism training, with many also requiring the prioritisation of Maori over all other ethnicities, as seen in the New Zealand Health Service “Te Whatu Ora” proposal which includes an Equity Adjustor Score which has been embedded into our health system.

Until this racist system was implemented, under the Code of Disability and Consumer Rights, we had a health system that legislated for equal services and access for all races, as required by the UN Declaration of Principles on Human Rights, the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles, and the New Zealand Bill of Rights.

But with the introduction of the Equity Adjustor Score from Te Whatu Ora, we have had discrimination on racial grounds firmly embedded into our health system.

Some surgeons have said that the new scoring tool was medically indefensible. They said patients should be prioritised on how sick they were, how urgently they needed treatment, and how long they had been waiting for it - not on their ethnicity.

We also see the internet domain registration body, “InternetNZ”, has a proposed systemically racist, new constitution that will embrace co-governance with Maori activists.

Such madness could, of course, be stopped if members of these organisations simply stood together and objected as a group, but as we’ve seen with the Real Estate Authority, the Teaching Profession, the Law Society etc.; the majority prefer the safety of silence instead of risking their livelihoods by voicing their concerns.

The long-term impact of DEI hiring – no longer employing the best person for a job but filling identity quotas instead – has not only lowered New Zealand’s productivity performance, but it also risks tragedies when employees without the right skill set are given crucial responsibilities beyond their capability.

Furthermore, by discriminating against people on the basis of race, gender and sexuality, it dangerously undermines New Zealanders’ right to equality before the law.

But instead of stepping up and dealing with these growing concerns, the PM and his coalition government continue to turn a blind eye to these policies.

The country voted out Labour in 2023; they voted for change hoping to see the new government remove the race based policies of the previous Labour government.

The Coalition government, which we elected to protect us from the dangerous propaganda and extremist agenda that was put in place by Jacinda Ardern and her Labour government, forcing’ private sector organisations to become agents of radical indoctrination – pushing the race-based lies that Maori did not cede sovereignty, that New Zealanders are racist, and that tribal leaders are in partnership with the Crown; is standing by and doing nothing.

Is it any wonder Kiwi voters are feeling disillusioned?

It should be one of the coalition government’s most important objectives to legislate against discrimination on the basis of race, gender or sexuality.

The new US President Donald Trump has provided New Zealanders with a model of the sort of decisive action that can be taken to turn this situation around. All it takes is a determination to act and then take those actions.

I don’t know about you but when I want to hire a professional to work for me I don’t care about their race, gender or sexuality, what I want to know is are they competent to carry out the task that I am hiring them to complete.

Maori Development Minister Tama Potaka, in 2024, stated that he expects Maori and conservation interests to be “elevated” under the new fast-track approvals process.

Given that Maori make up only approximately 13% of the voting population of New Zealand (according to the latest NZ census) this gives them a much greater influence over the outcomes from any fast track applications above other ethnicities in New Zealand.

The coalition government made many promises from the constituent parties, (both before and after the election) that they would make every effort to eliminate racial preferences from government decision making, in a commitment to equal citizenship under New Zealand’s democratic system of government. 

Yet we still see groups lobbying for Maori supremacy in the area of conservation and the conservation estate, with support for the handing over of the conservation estate to tribal interests.

“Maori despite their claims otherwise, as “Kaitiaki”, do not have any special background for conservation. In actual fact their environmental record is clear, for example, before the arrival of Europeans, Maori were responsible for the destruction by fire of between a third and a half of New Zealand’s original forest cover. Maori were responsible for the extermination of far more species of birds before European arrival than European settlers have eliminated since… To assume that any Maori input anywhere will be conservation-oriented is wilful blind stupidity.”

Whilst I agree with the principle of the Iwi being able to have input or engagement this should never be achieved by way of race based statutory obligations.

Iwi along with the other 190 odd ethnic groups within NZ society should have an equal right to representation but this right in no way should ever give them a greater level of representation than any other ethnic group. To do so would be akin to implementing a system of apartheid, a system of government that NZ’s have fought against for many years.

What the voters wanted as a result of the 2023 election was change; “Action and Honesty”, and what we have got so far is mostly inaction and in effect that has promoted dishonesty in comparison to their pre-election promises.
