As you're either too afraid of the facts or you have none, let me enlighten you.

In NZ we have the Waitangi Tribunal to deal with historical redress. They operate similar to how the Truth and Reconciliation Commission works in South Africa.

1/12 You could argue the Tribunal has become captured by activists in the last 6 years, and that is a point that former Labour Party minister, Richard Prebble made once he peeked under the hood.

A quick primer on what is a racist road sign and what is not as there seems to be accusations of this flying left right and center at the moment.

It seems as if this makes a lot of our "progressive" friends very unhappy.

1/8 Image They are proposing to change all the road signs in NZ, at great cost in consultation, design and so forth (so much they won't even tell us how much it is), so they look like this.

And if you disagree, you're a racist, fascist, white supremacist, freedumb, NAct antivaxer.

This is what a Data and Analytics summit has come to. Image We all have a need for personal data sovereignity, privacy and the right not to have our culture appropriated for financial gain. This is common across all people of all races.

Why are they so keen to import this US style of painting their opposition as inhuman monsters?

Nobody in ACT or National "makes war on the poor". They disagree with your approach of simply throwing more money weekly at them and want mechanisms that lift them out of poverty.

1/3 Image Endorsing racism? It is not racism to push for equality on an individual level. It is racism to push for equality on a collective level.

Don't import the BLM / CRT style madness.

There's been a lot of kerfuffle about this lately with some dishonest Kiwis showing their lack of understanding or willfully misrepresenting what is happening.

1/8 Image Normally, every one of us gets one vote for a governing body, be that a central government, local government, business, sports club, etc.

Max is caught up in a world where the only means for human beings to cooperate is by taking, through the threat of force, from them and then inefficiently redistributing it.

He can't see other means for people who care to share or cooperate with one another, which is sad. Image There is so much wastage with the government we have. They are not accountable; they have no profit motive to drive efficiency or even outcomes.

This is reported almost daily with spending announcements and lack of delivery. It is in the consultancy fees for dead projects.

I always find this line amusing. We know how much of a social / mainstream media misrepresentation there has been around the pandemic, mainly to create a favourable impression for Labour against all odds.

1/ Throughout the pandemic, National's calls for planning, goal setting and trying to create as much certainty as is possible were shut down as "You want to open the borders without restrictions and kill grandma!" That misrepresentation has stuck so much it has become a "truth".
