@peterboghossian She is a brave lady. Being a voice for truth amongst the swamp of vitriolic imbeciles in NZ academia takes fortitude.

Students who never study Stalin, Mao, and the gulags have no framework to recognize totalitarianism. A curriculum built on shame is not history. It is indoctrination. The left just tried to strip her damehood for saying so. My conversation with the newly appointed Dame Elizabeth Rata, in collaboration with @NZFreeSpeech

[🗣 Free Speech Union ✊ @NZFreeSpeech]

You cannot recognise totalitarianism if you've never been taught its history. That is the warning at the heart of this conversation with Dame Elizabeth Rata. We were proud to support it. Don't take our word for it - listen and decide for yourself.

Do please post something today on your X page, in honour of our Allied heroes.

They deserve to be remembered on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

@Principal_Jon Poor literacy and oral language of parents are an issue in NZ. Also the mindless acceptance that kids aren't capable of concentrating for prolonged periods of time, cognitive load blah blah. Whilst true, they won't improve if never pushed beyond comfort zone.

Trans people have the right to the same healthcare as we all need.

They need to be protected from the harms of damaging cross sex hormones and amputation of healthy body parts.

Do you agree?

‘Young women are the biggest cheerleaders for trans ideology – and we’re also at the sharp end of it. It is an entirely self-destructive trend.’

@JillBpool1 @jjsmith1245 The evil scum that committed such a heinous act should never see the light of day.

Ethiopia was never colonized.

For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.

Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.

If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.

Can we please retire this excuse?

One child, one body, one girl. 15 grown men. 88 counts of rape. 11 years to bring a conviction. Why has it taken so long? Where are the protests?

@ZooNealand @CarpeDeimNZ No way!!!

@ClarksonsFarm1 The lament of every boomer and Gen Xer... Why did our childhood kettle/washing machine/fridge/mower/chain saw etc last 40 years and the crap we buy today 2 years if we're lucky.

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

I asked in the HoL today… if a female rugby team comes up against a team they suspect are fielding a male why isn’t it ok to ask? It can be done politely. A males feelings I’m afraid come way behind a women’s serious risk to a broken neck! The same with a mother dressing her 8yr old little girl in an open womens changing She should have every right to ask a male to leave.

“To me, Henry wasn't a headline or a court case. He was my best friends funny, caring, cheeky son. Henry had a way of making people smile without even trying. He had so much life ahead of him, so many plans, and so much love to give. When Henry was just a baby, Lucy gave me the honour of being his godmother. Our kids, like us shared their childhood. Henry's loved ones were just normal people and we were enjoying watching our kids grow into adults, naively taking for granted that we would see all the wonderful things that life had to offer them.

On December 5th 2025, when the news broke, life as we knew it stopped.

My focus in what I want to say will always be Henry and Henry's family.

But, nothing I could ever say would come close to explaining the pain of losing Henry. But alongside the heartbreak of losing Henry has been the pain of watching one of the kindest families I have ever known have their entire world torn apart.

I was lucky enough to grow up with the family of my best friends Lucy (Henry's Mum) and Katie (Henry's aunty). The family make everyone feel welcome. Their home is filled with kindness, warmth and laughter. No matter what life throws at them they always find a way to bring light to those around them. They are generous with their time, compassionate in their hearts, and the sort of people who make others feel like family too, including me and then my children. Their laughter is infectious, their support unwavering, and their love for one another shines through in everything they do.

My heart is broken for them, a very large part of them died on the day that monster chose to rip Henry from their lives. Yet even through their darkest days they continued to be the wonderful people that they are. Their focus during these dark times was to shine a light on and raise money for the charity that has helped them.

Then, 6 months after Henry's death, the heart ache continued as they had to face the trial. Being subjected to sit in a room with the monster who brutally murdered their son and watch the lies spill so easily from his mouth. A man who has not once showed an an ounce of remorse for what he did. They endured a living nightmare.

Thinking that things could not possibly get worse, in the last few weeks they have learned that the very institution that is there to protect us not only ignored Henry's plea for help, but they sided with the monster who put him on the ground .

Henry's family learned that his last moments were not only spent so afraid of the monster who attacked him but he was then wronged and let down by the police officer who I have no doubt, Henry assumed was there to help him.

That police officer handcuffed Henry and read him his rights. The last thing my best friend's beautiful boy heard before we lost him forever.

This image, we will never ever be able to erase from our minds. Family, friends and now the world, will have seen that image and we all have to live with it forever.

Shame on the monster who took you, shame on the police officer who should have helped you and shame on the organisation that trained the police officer to side with an incorrect racist slur over a dying young man. Shame on you all!!

You treated a loving caring intelligent hardworking young man, with such disregard and disrespect. You treated Henry's family, such good people, with such dishonesty! The lies have been inforgivable !! HOW DARE YOU.

Henry deserved so much more from this life. Henry and his family have been let down so badly.

THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TO ANYONE, ANYONE'S CHILD.

This has to stop now.

Henry we will fight until the end for you. The world will know your name. You changed our lives for the better for being a part of it, I believe you will now go on to change the lives of others by the legacy you will leave.

God bless you my darling 💙”

Pretty interesting. In NZ the left has claimed for the last 2.5 years that National only delivered “tax cuts for landlords” which many in the media have happily parroted without context (it was in fact reversing Labour’s policy - which had overturned decades of all businesses being able to claim tax deductibility on the interest costs of their bank loans).

Labour only stopped interest deductibility for residential tenancy properties - leading to higher bank costs to service loans for residential properties, which in turn drove rental costs higher for tenants (in order to service the higher interest payments to banks on mortgages) - as officials had warned Labour would happen.

What they completely ignored is the inconvenient fact that National delivered the first adjustment to tax brackets in 14 years - to address the outrageous situation of the poorest workers paying almost the highest tax bracket for some of their earnings because inflation had steadily eroded the value of their wage.

The previous government - which made out it was on the side of the working man and woman - had allowed inflation to push them into higher and higher tax brackets - which meant the government could tax them more without them even realising it.

The technical term was “bracket creep” - the practical effect was “tax-it deep.”

You’re unlikely to learn that from the mainstream media.

@GillianEva74964 @kiriceilidh @greencatherine @sallypatricknz Of course we've heard of her and cited her.

@JosephMooneyMP If you're in and out of planes, cabs etc wear a darker suit. Wrinkles less obvious.
