@kaiviti_cam These dickheads. The people who operate businesses, are smart enough to bypass the system. They will put the prices up, charge out more and basically, still be left with the same amount or more. That will make living hard for everyone. Dumb idea from dumb socialists.
That trade expert was referring to a real FTA. Instead National stuffed the nation for generations.
India doesn't want to buy our fruit, they want to grow it, and export their population.
FTA Terms:
⛔No fruit genetics: no market access
⛔No uncappable visas: no FTA
India bragged NZ was "the first country in the world" to agree to their ludicrous immigration demands.
Frightening naivety and incompetence.
Chloe Swarbrick, who wants to be Minister of Finance, is confident the IRD — the same department that sent cost-of-living payments to dead people and French backpackers, can successfully implement an incredibly complex new tax system in just one year.
When asked what happens if the policy fails to raise the expected revenue, given you would have ready promised the tax cuts, Swarbrick replied: “The public will see we’re honest and transparent.”
This is precisely what a clueless Finance Minister looks like: No contingency plan, zero realism, and nothing but empty slogans.
The Greens policy will drive significant capital flight, impose massive compliance burdens, and trigger a tsunami of disputes and litigation.
This is pure empty virtue-signalling from the Greens.
Since when did we start imposing Indian law on New Zealanders?
The Hindu board calls for the Government and police to “take suo moto cognizance and initiate legal action" against me...
"Suo moto cognizance" is an Indian legal practice...not a NZ one.
The Hindu Board statement claims my allegations are false, but they provide no evidence to support that.
Meanwhile, I am relying on the following facts:
Just last month, on 7 May 2026, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom held a full hearing titled ‘Deteriorating Religious Freedom Conditions in India’. They concluded that religious freedom in India remains on a downward trajectory, with the government tolerating particularly severe violations against Christians and other religions. This includes anti-conversion laws, mob violence, and impunity for attackers.
Christian persecution in India has been clearly documented by:
▪️ United States Department of State in 2024
▪️ United Nations Human Rights Council
▪️ Open Doors International
▪️ Christian Solidarity Worldwide
With child brides, we have reports from:
▪️ UNICEF
▪️ United Nations Population Fund
▪️ United Nations
▪️ Human Rights Watch
▪️ Amnesty International
These are facts, not fiction. All of these organisations have readily available reports and articles online for anyone to research and read.
My comments came from a place of deep patriotic and parental concern. As a father and as a New Zealander, I will not stay silent while serious human rights issues are occurring in India under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership.

@TaxpayersUnion Every business owner will add this to their bottom line to pay for it. Everything will get more expensive, cause more inflation. Thanks National
What was I just saying...
All they can do is punish productive people and by taxing you when you're dead.
A fucking death tax, one last kick in the dick from the government for dying!
🚩There are literally hundreds of Jobs popping up online advertised ONLY FOR INDIANS, e.g Trade depot in Hamilton are looking for a forklift driver -
“OSH Forklift Licence is essential”
and so is :
“Proficiency in Hindi or Punjabi is essential for effective communication with team members and clients”
NZ’s Human Rights Act 1993 and Employment Relations Act 2000 prohibit discrimination in job ads, and hiring on these grounds
• Race or colour
• Ethnicity or national origins.
Language requirement is discrimination. Treating people differently or less favourably because of these traits is unlawful. But I guess Modhi is now in charge of our discrimination laws in addition to our immigration policies.
Indians only hire Indians - everyone knows this.
National/ Labour/Act are determined to destroy us with immigration.

David Seymour just ripped the mask off the Greens' latest wealth grab: a $32 billion inheritance and income tax raid dressed up as "fairness." He nailed it, that this is the dark underbelly of envy made official policy. Punish success, reward failure. Classic commie cosplay from the watermelon crew. Kiwis who bust their guts building something get hammered, while the bludgers cheer. Wake up, New Zealand. Vote against this madness.
