This level of submissiveness is why we ended up with a treaty of surrender instead of a trade agreement.

We need a prime minister who loves New Zealand as much as Luxon loves India.

[Commander DC @nzpoliticsgroup]

Alert: LUXON JUST SOLD THE FARM - FTA 🚨🚨🚨

No secret birdie. Luxon chased this deal for years and signed it with Modi on 27 April 2026.

Here’s the brutal truth folks:

India gets immediate duty-free access for EVERYTHING it wants to dump into New Zealand.

NZ gets immediate duty-free on logs, coal, wool and sheep meat✅

Kiwifruit and apples get some quotas✅

Dairy ? Our biggest export by far ? Mostly blocked. India protected its farmers. We got crumbs.✅

Immigration ? Capped temporary skilled visas (~1,667 per year, max 5k at once).
Not open borders, but still more bodies into a housing crisis while Luxon’s coalition partner NZ First is screaming it’s a shit deal.✅

NZ has been SOLD OUT !!

@matt_horncastle Well done mate

[Joshua Riley 🇳🇿 @VoteSovereign]

Stuff Representation. Demand an FTA Referendum.

➤ Uncappable and exploitable visas
➤ Transfer of kiwi skills and genetics
➤ Zero value
➤ UNDRIP, CBDC, Paris
➤ Terms secret until after signing
➤ Misleading statements from MPs
➤ Ongoing omission in parliament's 1st reading

"The government commissioned a model that captured the upside and excluded every major downside.

When the downsides are included - even conservatively - the FTA has roughly 10% chance of making individual New Zealanders better off, and an 80% chance of making them worse off."

@NZNationalParty I'll just leave this here. Is this truth?

I find it hard to take in Luxon's nerve, saying he can't trust Winston after the election, given his history of going 50% Labour and 50% National in the past.
Listen mate @chrisluxonmp, people voted for one of the coaltion partners because they did not want Labour in again in 2023. We did not want them influencing NZ's future. So what have you just done? You brought them in to get your India FTA through. We didn't want them having a say in anything. But you brought them in to get your filthy immigration bill through!
You are a dirty traitor to the people who put you in power! It's YOU who cannot be trusted!

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

@MayorWayneBrown @_chloeswarbrick You met wrong person

The National Party is Already in a Grand Coalition with Labour

[Joshua Riley 🇳🇿 @VoteSovereign]

'Ethnic Communities' imposing political pressure is a testament to NZ's failed immigration policies.

I'm originally from Texas but I don't advocate for Americans. If Kiwis don't want more Americans it's SOLELY their prerogative, and I'd respect that.

We are at a tipping point.

Serious questions need answering on NZ-India FTA

For six months, we have been warning that the India-New Zealand FTA would, under current policy settings, mean open slather immigration from India to New Zealand.

We have recently discovered that there has been an abrupt change of course – with changes being made to immigration settings which target Indians and Indians alone.

Officials have warned Ministers that these changes could have impacts on our bilateral relationship with India and our reputation as a place to do business, and be open to legal challenge or retaliation from India. We have also seen evidence of officials discussing the importance of these changes not being publicly announced for fear of the Indian reaction.

This discriminatory treatment, approved by the Minister of Immigration, includes:

- imposing on Indian citizens a labour market/economic needs test that doesn’t apply to citizens of other relevant FTA partners;
- precluding Indian citizens from applying for a temporary employment entry visa from within New Zealand, an option available to citizens of other relevant FTA partners;
- treating Indian citizens worse than the citizens of other relevant FTA partners when it comes to their partners and children; and
- precluding Indian citizens from counting work experience on a temporary employment entry visa towards residency requirements, a right extended to citizens of other relevant FTA partners.

The Indian Government has the right to know about National’s intention to treat Indian citizens in a discriminatory manner relative to citizens of other FTA partners, such as China, Thailand, or South Korea.

New Zealand First would have preferred that the India FTA not include any migration concessions whatsoever. But if the Government has negotiated such commitments it is only fitting and proper that it be transparent with India about how it intends to apply them – and in what respects it intends to treat Indians worse than Chinese, Thais, Koreans and nationals from other New Zealand FTA partners.

We suggest that if additional restrictions are applied to Indians travelling to New Zealand under this FTA, the only consistent and principled step would be to apply these restrictions to citizens of all FTA partners. This, sadly, is palpably not the approach being contemplated by our coalition partners and Labour – and they need to explain why.

These issues will be important to both the Indian Government and to New Zealand’s Indian community, who will be concerned to ensure that Indians receive equitable treatment to people of other nationalities. Labour is now complicit in National’s plan to treat Indians inequitably. But it is not too late for Labour to change course and oppose this shoddy FTA.

We urge the Prime Minister, the Trade Minister and the Immigration Minister to make clear to India, before the FTA legislation is passed into law, about the ways in which they intend to implement this FTA differently from our previous relevant FTAs.

We look forward to the Prime Minister, Trade Minister and Immigration Minister clarifying these matters publicly with urgency, so as to avoid any potential trade retaliation, legal action, or reputational damage.

There must be equitable treatment for citizens of all countries coming into New Zealand under our various FTAs. Discriminatory treatment is not the New Zealand way.

Indian lobby groups across NZ have put forward an ultimatum to our political parties.

They have identified their 18.4% ethnic voting bloc and claim they will influence their communities to vote, based on which party presents the most ‘fit-for-purpose’ policies that combat ‘hate speech’ and enforce ‘social cohesion’.

What an obnoxious display of hostility and a perfect example of how multiculturalism completely undermines a western democracy.

All foreign lobby groups should be disbanded immediately and hostile foreigners sent back to their home countries.

We need Remigration NOW.

[Iseeyou123 @worldiswatchu]

This is disgraceful. The sooner we change the perks and cap spending on travel etc the better. These figures are over and above salaries.

🌀Removed NZQA qualification checks for many Indian degrees
🌀Increased student work hours from 20 to 25/week

NZ needs SAFE modern nuclear base load power.

We've been fucked by successive governments for 30+ years growing the population and not building out significant electricity generation (wind, solar don't count and are essentially useless nice to haves).

[Media Bias @Media58Bias]

Wtf, Ardern's been out of the job for years, living it up around the world and we’re still paying for her to have up to 6 armed bodyguards 24/7, a watchtower and drone patrol. She’s not bloody royality! NZ taxpayers have already paid enough for her. @chrisluxonmp @winstonpeters

The fact that NZ businesses are struggling to afford to buy wholesale BEEF and DAIRY in this country OF BEEF AND DAIRY is a problem and a failure of this government

[Earl Fargoff @EarlFargofbu2a]

WE HAVE 21,000 ILLEGAL OVERSTAYERS IN NZ. Comrade Jacinda’s Labour govt instructed schools to enrol the children of illegals. So, the immigration dept now has their address, why aren’t they being deported? What’s your excuse Erica Stanford?

[Ximene @dellavaris]

Last year an Indian medical credential fraud investigation exposed bribery, criminal conspiracy, and digital forgery⬇️

Nat/Act knew this before they negotiated the India migrant deal. WHY DID THEY SIGN NZ UP TO THIS?
