Winston spars with media after his Ferries Announcement
Q: Why have you moved away from KiwiRail owning... to KiwiRail leasing the ships off a state owned company?
A: Well, it makes commercial sense.
Q: Can you explain that commercial reasoning?
A: Yes, that's economics 101, you've got to bring greater efficiency, because the greater accountability is going to be better for the arrangement. Are you the commercial writer for your paper? I can see why we're in trouble in this country.
Q: But what did Cook do that was positive for Maori?
A: Oh, this is amazing. I think you should go and read a speech that was made by Sir Āpirana Ngata in 1940 when he talked about the benefits of colonisation. Why don't some of you, Maori, get on board with your former elders who were far closer to the event, far brighter. He got a law degree in the fastest time of any law student in this country and you stand here and doubt a man like him or Pōmare or Buck or the first person that ever won a European seat was a Maori? Did you doubt those people, and then really say that somehow this was bad for this country? In that great speech he says that we are lucky because all the people who could have settled this country, the least harmful did.

Judge for yourself.
Two interviews from Stuff/Three news presenter Samantha Hayes — one with ACT candidate Paul Henry, the other with Opportunities Party Leader Qiulae Wong.
One faced aggressive personal questions and snide asides delivered under the breath (“trying to buy people’s favour perhaps”).
The other was served up soft, leading questions that neatly aligned with party talking points.
Don’t get me wrong, tough questions and robust policy scrutiny are essential. But they must be applied consistently.
When viewed side by side, these two interviews cannot honestly be described as balanced or even-handed.
Been on the LINZ website for work today - did you know you cannot rename a place in NZ without iwi consent?
No wonder we don’t have any English names anymore. These fat fucks are consulted and just reject anything non maori.
This is not co-governance. This is tribal rule.
Australia, New Zealand & Canada are being FLOODED with Indian’s.
India is colonising our Nations.
‘NEW’ New Zealand is Indian 🇮🇳 🇳🇿
The majority of new births in New Zealand are now ASIAN- Majority Indian, Pakistani.
Without Remigration, India will hold the future majority, NZ will change to cater for these cultures.
Europeans & natives will become the new minority, only these minority groups won’t get special funding or privileges like other groups had.
“Not only do we have the diversity that's already here but the future diversity of New Zealand is locked in. All the babies are going to look different".
Without Remigration, NZ, Australia & Canada will be gone forever.
A Nation is a people, without the people, the Nation ceases to Exist.
NZ: I am fuming! We should all be fuming! From a man who is supposed to be our PM he stands there and disses NZers to a mainly Indian audience. Don't think Seymour and Hipkins are not with him - they are. Only Peters doesn't stand with them.
This is how a grand coalition starts. Two like-minded parties, both love to control people, join together to pass stupid laws no one asked for. https://t.co/rHiaNuidCz
How is what Brian Tamaki said any worse than this “award winning” “poem” by the racist and aesthetically offensive Tusiata Avia? Talking about hunting white men to stab with a pig hunting knife?
@dbseymour
No police visiting that nasty bint.
We are keeping receipts.
You have to Realize these movies are being made to show in classrooms as propaganda. They will use these films to teach the next generation that Western countries were always diverse.
Another lie set in stone.
This doesn’t add up to me.
Such a strong statement from a usually jellyfish “leader” about a controversial AF policy that NOBODY asked for being rammed through just before the election (despite having sat on it for 3 years). And willing to lose the election over it?
Fishy AF.
🛑 WTF?
Why did NZ's 🇳🇿 PM Luxon align with the failed Labour leaders like Starmer 🇬🇧 & Albanse 🇦🇺 ?
The reality is PM Luxon is actually a centre leftist politician and that is a huge liability for the @NZNationalParty@chrisluxonmp
Just look at the Indian 🇮🇳 agreement.
🚩FFS Christopher Luxon the poisonous pigmy is a disaster, confirms Social Media Ban via Starmer is on the way.
This morning he was on with Hosking, and said he thinks “Winston Peters may go with Labour” these clowns are ridiculous and desperate as Te Gimp is failing badly.
Even Hosking said that is not going to happen. Particularly ridiculous because Luxon is crossing the floor to Labour for support of the FTA & Internet regulation.
Mike quizzed him on the Social media ban -digital ID - Internet regulation - and how it is unfeasible and won’t work like in how Australia who spent hundreds of millions and it didn’t work at all.
His response ? “I’m going to die on this hill and join with the UK and Canada to force this through”
This poisonous pigmy and that dog shit party of his must be diluted in the next govt.
Make NZ First much much larger, and sort this garbage coalition out so we have a decent centre right govt for the next 3 years.
A land value tax on older vulnerable people who worked and paid into the system is morally wrong
Forcing old people out of their homes is morally wrong
Doing this so you can give it to Wokeington and people who don't want to work is morally wrong
It's basically stealing
The @NZPPTA is clearly stating that any students who don’t adhere to their left wing political beliefs need to be reeducated.
What are we - the new East Germany???
This cannot be allowed to happen in our schools @EricaStanfordMP@chrisluxonmp@winstonpeters@dbseymour
Number of Islamic countries in the world: 56
Number of Islamic countries that have equal rights for non-Muslims: 0
Mass deportations now.
Not tomorrow.
Now.
Revoke. Suspend. Deport. Repeat. Until every single one of them are gone. It must happen.
The other day this National party Idiot immigrant who can hardly speak english accepted a petition from Indian and Muslim immigrants demanding hate speech laws be implemented in NZ.
Today this freak is talking up a trade deal with Pakistan …
Listen to the defective crap that National selects for MP’s… seriously this clown would have been parody not long ago.
This country is going down the fucking gurgler.
