Te Pāti Māori has recently set out its election strategy, and in doing so, it has unintentionally revealed a profound constitutional reality: New Zealand no longer requires separate Māori seats to ensure Māori representation in Parliament.
At its campaign launch, Co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer encouraged supporters to give their candidate vote to Te Pāti Māori, while directing their party vote elsewhere.
Over the weekend, the ACT Party unveiled a policy package targeting the very issue Hobson’s Pledge has fought against for years: the systemic embedding of division and race-based distinction in our public institutions.
David Seymour announced that, if re-elected, ACT intends to reform the Public Service around core principles of equal treatment, individual freedom, political and religious neutrality, and clear accountability for results.
Over the past few months, Hobson’s Pledge has been campaigning hard for a dedicated Regulated Professions Neutrality Bill.
Our campaign, Professionals, Not Politicians, was launched with a simple premise: Kiwi workers should be evaluated on their competence and ethics, not forced to adopt political or ideological positions just to earn a living.
Two taxpayer-funded bodies. One week. Both working against you.
Mike Hosking nailed it on Newstalk ZB this week, and the Taxpayers' Union is right to back him up: the Human Rights Commission has completely lost the plot.
The Commission’s job is straightforward: defend the universal, equal rights of every single New Zealander. Instead, it has degenerated into a taxpayer-funded activist group, picking and choosing which "rights" it defends based on ideology, not principle.
The devil is always in the detail and that is true of submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill. With so much cheerleading and glee from the legacy media about the numbers who submitted in opposition to the Bill, we thought we’d share a reality check about details they conveniently forget to tell you.
We have been told there were more than 300,000 submissions. This is great and shows exactly what we have been saying for years - New Zealanders want to have their say about the place of the Treaty in New Zealand.
