Life is loving…losing…longing :: perpetually and not necessarily in that order and in various combinations or singular peaks and lows. The darkest dark and brightest light go hand-in-hand. Be brave and strong and stay open. Gobble it all up, share yourself, and never give up

NZ First (New Zealand First) strongly opposes the New Zealand–India Free Trade Agreement (FTA). They view it as a "bad deal" that is "neither free nor fair" for New Zealand.

https://t.co/0cqSvFXhNy

Key Reasons for Opposition (from NZ First's official statement)

Dairy exclusion: India did not offer meaningful access for New Zealand’s major dairy exports (milk, cheese, butter), which make up ~30% of NZ goods exports. This is the first NZ trade deal to largely exclude https://t.co/Dcv6wb26qZ

Immigration and people movement: The deal includes concessions on Indian worker visas, student post-study work rights, and mobility that NZ First believes are too generous. They argue it risks displacing NZ workers, straining housing/infrastructure, and constraining future governments’ immigration https://t.co/QVOE4VokIh

Overall balance: NZ opens its market fully to Indian goods, while India’s concessions (especially on sensitive sectors) are seen as insufficient. NZ First also raised concerns about investment commitments and rushed https://t.co/h8t5eTXclv

NZ First leader Winston Peters and the party exercised the "agree to disagree" clause in the coalition agreement, voted against enabling legislation, and have consistently criticised the deal.

Current Status of the FTA (as of June 2026)

Negotiations concluded in December 2025.
Signed on 27 April 2026 in New Delhi.
Not yet in force — it requires domestic ratification/legislation in both countries (including NZ parliamentary approval for tariff changes and related measures).mfat.govt.nz

Can NZ First Repeal It If Elected?

Before it enters into force: Yes, in practice. If NZ First leads or is in a government with a parliamentary majority after the next election, they could block or vote down the implementing legislation, effectively preventing the FTA from taking effect. They have already signaled they would vote against https://t.co/aLlbSmuqNP

After it enters into force: Much harder. Once ratified and in effect, repealing or withdrawing from a signed bilateral FTA is legally and diplomatically complex. It would involve:Negotiating with India (which is unlikely to agree easily).
Potential dispute mechanisms, compensation claims, or damage to the broader bilateral relationship.
Domestic legislative steps to unwind tariff changes and other commitments.

Total lack of privacy from Inland Revenue.

You deserve to know if your personal information was accessed.

They may give you a tax refund each year, but where's the truth?

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

@AlboMP @chrisluxonmp Cool story. I can’t run my business because your government thinks men can be women.

Trust me, the world isn’t laughing at us because of my stance.

NZ is now a country where the govt can have all the data to say a medical product will harm & kill people & instead of pulling it from the market immediately they instead threatened people to take it while keeping the dangers secret

And those responsible are now seeking election

Nothing says "world-class aviation security" like selective knife privileges based on religion, while treating perfume or handcream like it's nitroglycerin.
The 100ml liquid rule isn't some sacred immutable law handed down from the gods of ICAO - it's a post-9/11 blanket policy born of risk aversion. Yet here you are, bending over backwards for one group's religious article while lecturing everyone else about "safety."
The sheer gall to reply with a straight face, as if this obvious double standard is just "standard New Zealand aviation rules" and not a blatant case of institutional cowardice dressed up as tolerance. One rule for the faithful, another for the filthy casuals.
How progressive.
How enlightened.
How conveniently risk-averse only when it doesn't require telling anyone "no" on cultural grounds.
Passengers aren't asking for special treatment.They're asking why a knife gets a religious exemption pass while their toothpaste gets confiscated.

[Holyhekatuiteka @2ETEKA]

Sigh. Another day, another Indian exploitation case. This is the ethnic ethic Luxon loves. This Indian corruption js rampant and about to get worse with the Indian FTA bullshit National, Labour and Act are ramming through parliament.

The Employment Relations Authority ordered Auckland company Sharan Solutions Limited (SSL) and its director, Mansharan Singh Sohi, to pay more than $50,000 in wages, compensation, interest, and costs to former employee Jaspreet Singh.

Singh Sohi had received numerous orders (including a court order) to pay the employee, the hefty sum owed, but he refused to engage, snubbing the offer of a payment plan.

Boot him out of the country, these people ARE NOT COMPATIBLE with NZ.
