NZ perceptibly changing. Govt intent on following UK doctrine? -open borders, digital ID, $ millions given to Ukraine, 2 tier policing, demographic change...

[Miles Langdon @MilesALangdon]

No NZ first does not use racist language
In saying something so offensive, you need to validate it with examples - else yours is hate speech

How is NZ racist Shane? Rather than spreading "provocative" speech yourself, why don't you justify your assertion?

[Shane te Pou @PouTepou]

Im definitely not a fan of the Indian prime minister but my gosh when did we become such a racist bloody country?

How bloody disturbing

[Miles Langdon @MilesALangdon]

Yes, must admit, conspiracy theories aside, when all is said and done, NZ seems to be heading in that direction.

[Miles Langdon @MilesALangdon]

I wouldn't have put it so eloquently - but- he makes a real point
Sending $ millions to Ukraine so that 1000's more young men will be slaughtered in a war that can never be won? Madness.
Meantime, we can't even look after our own. Not only 2- tier justice in NZ but 2- tier health care as well?
Shortfall of funding that, as always, could be fixed if the political will was there.

#NZPOLITICS
Odds on now, that National and Labour will team up to nullify Peters
These 2 parties, as lame and predictable as each other, have more in common than they do with their traditional minor party allies.
They are united over social media ban, Indian FTA, digital ID....
If this is going to be a trend, why not just call it?
Never thought it so much before, but think abundantly clear now they are dictated to by the WEF ,the UN, Albanese and now Modhi.
Both major parties scared to stand up to them

[WhatsThePoint @thehouseoffootb]

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Thierry Henry on the VAR controversy in Argentina vs Egypt:

🗣️ "Let's explain this calmly, because everyone is shouting, but not everyone is looking at the same incident."

"I've watched the replay several times, and I understand why Egypt feel frustrated. I also understand why Argentina believe the officials got the key decisions right. That's exactly why this debate has become so intense."

"The biggest issue isn't that people disagree. Football has always been full of disagreements. The real issue is consistency."

"When Egypt scored, VAR carried out a detailed review before the goal was eventually ruled out. Whether you agree with that decision or not, the process was thorough."

"The problem is that later in the match, Egypt had penalty appeals that many people expected to receive the same level of scrutiny. Instead, those moments appeared to be resolved much more quickly, and that's where supporters begin asking questions."

"Modern football has accepted VAR because it promises one thing above everything else: consistency. Fans don't expect perfection. Referees are human. But they do expect the same standard to be applied to every team, in every decisive moment."

"If one incident receives an exhaustive review, supporters naturally expect another equally important incident to receive exactly the same attention. When that doesn't happen, controversy becomes inevitable."

"None of this should take away from Argentina's mentality. They showed tremendous character to come back in such a difficult match. That deserves praise."

"At the same time, Egypt also deserve enormous respect. They played with courage, organisation and belief. For long periods they looked capable of producing one of the biggest surprises of the tournament."

"This is why football supporters are still debating the match. Not because Argentina completed a comeback—that happens in football. They're debating whether every decisive incident was judged with the same level of care."

"In the end, the result will remain in the history books. Argentina go through. Egypt go home."

"But the discussion surrounding VAR will continue, because whenever fans believe consistency is missing, the conversation stops being about football and starts being about officiating."

"And that's something nobody wants, because the players—not the referees—should always be the biggest story after a World Cup match."

Yes- profound- but boring

[Gaye Ess @gaye_ess]

This is from an article in The Centrist, and I think it is so profound that I have copied the whole thing here instead of giving a link. Quote: "New Zealand's unwritten constitution rests on parliamentary sovereignty, where Parliament “may make or unmake any law”. Harvey says that leaves “no right” entrenched and “no liberty” beyond revision. New Zealand places “the legislature above the individual”. The result is that rights become “permissions” and liberties become “licences”, rather than protections standing above ordinary politics.. "
He quoted the Treaty Principles Bill as stating “that all individuals are equal before the law”. That was exactly NZ First's stance to remove Treaty references in law!
But without a doubt, a constitution like this is exactly what NZ needs IMO.
The article:
Retired judge David Harvey says New Zealand has failed to adopt a clear constitutional statement that individual rights exist before the state.
Writing in the Herald, Harvey contrasts New Zealand’s system with Thomas Jefferson’s declaration that people have “inalienable Rights”, including “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. Harvey says Jefferson’s words were not just historical rhetoric but “the clearest, most potent expression of the individualist ideal ever written in English”.
His argument is that New Zealand has never written an equivalent sentence. Instead, its unwritten constitution rests on parliamentary sovereignty, where Parliament “may make or unmake any law”. Harvey says that leaves “no right” entrenched and “no liberty” beyond revision.
In his view, this reverses Jefferson’s principle. Where Jefferson places the individual above the legislature, Harvey says New Zeland places “the legislature above the individual”. The result is that rights become “permissions” and liberties become “licences”, rather than protections standing above ordinary politics.
Harvey also argues New Zealand has moved away from individual liberty and towards group-based rights, state-managed wellbeing and a citizenry dependent on government. He says the individual has been left “unfortified”.
His sharpest example is the Treaty Principles Bill. Harvey says it attempted to state “that all individuals are equal before the law”, making it the closest New Zealand has come to a Jeffersonian declaration.
Instead, he says, Parliament rejected the Bill 112-11 and New Zealand “recoiled” from the universalism Jefferson would have recognised.

[Miles Langdon @MilesALangdon]

Logic says that if hate speech laws are enacted then surely calling someone - 'racist' fits the bill.
It is normally uttered with some malice, ill- considered, with little or zero validation.
Often used against those who offer quite reasonable concerns, balanced viewpoints , not at all vengeful
Case in point , some of the crime we are witnessing in NZ , perpetrated by recent arrivals to this country seems to either be ignored, or given very lenient attention.
Is it right to speak out about this apparent 2- tier justice? Or- is it possible that not enough support and education is given to recent immigrants- pertaining to NZ culture, laws, expectations ?

[Suit and tie @Suitandtie9999]

If Hipkins and Labour return to govt, they look set to take another crack at hate speech laws.

Appearing on TVNZ Breakfast this morning, Hipkins was asked about the need for such laws in light of Brian Tamaki’s comments.

He replied: “I still think there are legitimate issues here, gaps in the law.”

A pretty clear signal they’ll try again — despite their last push drawing around 19,000 submissions, the vast majority opposed on free speech grounds.

I think you have a responsibility to make a public statement expressing the horror of this incident and calling for the perpetrator to be deported ( or locked up indefinitely)

What exactly is hate speech? How is it defined, legally?
Does it cover the truth- no matter how unpalatable the truth may be to some?
Or is it measured by the level of offence taken? In which case it becomes ridiculous. Does it apply equally to all demographics?

[🗣 Free Speech Union ✊ @NZFreeSpeech]

The push for hate speech laws has returned.

OPINION by Anne K. Rutherford: Winston Peters wants to draw a harder line around democracy in New Zealand. It is a dangerous and reckless move, and he should feel ashamed of himself. It sounds dirty. It sounds patriotic. It is also deeply unfair. https://t.co/FTiZe0bFAZ

[Miles Langdon @MilesALangdon]

The same sort of thing happening in NZ. We are committed to "investing" $ NZ 33 billion into the Indian economy if the fraught FTA goes ahead.
It further commits us to the Paris climate accord, which will cost us, apparently, an additional $ 24 billion if we don't reach arbitrary emission targets
Yet, the FTA is supposed to be beneficial to NZ?

[Miles Langdon @MilesALangdon]

It is quite ludicrous.
First of all, the kids will find a way around it- rendering the ban futile
Second point, if they were so concerned about youngsters' welfare, they would have done something in the last 10 years we have had social media. Why the urgency now?
Third, you can't shelter kids forever- they need to face reality and deal with it.
Fourth, the best thing they can do for kid's safety is take much more care and scrutinize thoroughly who they let into the country. We are getting a proliferation of sexual assaults by foreigners, and it seems, with little consequence
Fifth point- it really is just a way to introduce digital ID. Thus, the State will have a greater level of control over all of us, especially those on X who typically offer a contrary opinion to the narrative of the day
Lastly- you are confiscating for teenagers, their source of communication with friends, coaches, sports teams,family....

[Holyhekatuiteka @2ETEKA]

🚩 Luxon wants UK style Internet regulation.

Once again Luxon kicks off his week this morning telling Hosking that he is hell bent on a social media ban that is tougher than Australia’s - and talks about the UK as an example of what he’s looking to do.

The UK Govt made law two years ago giving the Govt control of algorithms so the state decides what content you will see, this will now come into effect. MSM like the BBC given preference on such platform as youtube. They will control the narrative, and explains why MSM the world over has been the key cheerleader of “age gating” the internet.

In Australia their marxist eSafety commissioner is working on legislation to ban ratios. A move to quell criticism of politicians online. Labor in Australia have in-acted draconian hate speech laws which prohibit “islamophobia” and they even tried to make Climate change denial hate speech.

This is all where this crap was always going to go, it was never about keeping kids safe, it was about controlling free speech, controlling everything you do, all built on digital ID.

Luxon also told Hosking he’s “not even prepared to listen to any debate about nuclear energy” and that solar panels will bring us affordable energy security, à complete lie. Australia has seen energy costs increase by 20% in the last 3 years because of the unreliability of renewables and the increased transmission, distribution cost it incurs.

This piglet is dangerous.

[Miles Langdon @MilesALangdon]

Ok . Good point, David.
So wouldn't the right thing to do, in your senior position, be to formally raise this issue?
The FTA seems very hastily put together, unprofessional, corrupted even.
Therefore, the entire FTA must be on very shaky ground?
Legally it could be challenged?
Why has it been allowed to proceed when, it seems, very basic provisions have not been met?
Aren't the NZ people deserved of better?

[David Seymour @dbseymour]

This is all well and good, but whoever is the next Minister must watch woke MFAT bureaucrats like a hawk so we don’t get signed up to more than trade agreements, such as sneaking in UNDRIP provisions nobody asked for.
