Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2025

Why are our countries in such a dire mess? The left has been working on a 50-year campaign pushing neo-Marxist ideology - whether it is wokeism, transgenderism, Islamism, mass migration, net zero zealotry, Keynesian economics. And they have been utterly relentless in their pursuit of ideological dominance.

A Counter-Revolution

Being politically neutral and respecting the authority of the government of the day should mean that fundamental Coalition goals like public services being prioritised “on the basis of need, not race”, that “co-governance” should be removed from public services, and that all work on “He Puapua” must stop, should be top priorities and well advanced.

UNDRIP Disaster

Having seen the disastrous influence of UNDRIP in Canada, the continued existence of the He Puapua framework that Labour put in place to implement the Declaration in New Zealand represents an existential threat to our future. It's time that threat was removed.

The Common Law and Maori Tribal Rights

It cannot be too strongly emphasised that the body of the common law is predicated on the basis that it is written down in a form which is available to all New Zealand citizens and in that way is knowable in advance of any course of action on which a citizen intends to embark.

A Media Crisis

The BBC’s crisis serves to remind us that credible media isn’t a luxury – it’s a democratic necessity. We should not have to put up with biased media. Journalism should be independent, impartial, and balanced. Their mission should be to inform, not manipulate.

The BBC scandal impacts trust across all media

And by the way, as a member of the media, my faith in the BBC has been really eroded by what's just happened - not just because they sliced together two pieces of Trump's speech to make him say something he didn't say, but because they knew it and sat on it for so long.

Tribal Defiance

Ngatiwai’s actions were unacceptable. Their breach of the law was a deliberate criminal act, which put in danger one of New Zealand’s most iconic reserves. They should be prosecuted with the maximum penalties imposed as a deterrent to others considering similar action.

Producing Propaganda

New Zealand is no longer one people, but divided into two separate races, not united but ‘partners’.  The full project of apartheid with separation of governments, rights, and laws has been set down the He Puapua report.

Maori nineteenth century population: model estimates

The picture of rapid and disastrous consequences of colonisation which is basic to many grievances that have been paid off by Treaty settlements and to continuing claims for special treatment is supported by questionable population estimates.
