“We do not accept that Israel can achieve peace and security while taking more and more territory intended for a future Palestinian state. This misguided notion must end.”

If this is a ‘hate crime’ so is vandalising the Treaty exhibition at Te Papa.

If it is true, then this is the seed of segregation.

We have seen it before in apartheid South Africa, and the segregation days in the United States.

It is phenomenal that we not only would accept this as New…

For the third time since April 2020, New Zealand First has defeated the Serious Fraud Office and all those complicit in a malicious attack against a political party going about its lawful business in a lawful manner.

As Churchill once said “for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like someone standing in a bucket and trying to lift themselves up by the handle.”

Chris Hipkins’ irrelevance has been highlighted with his lack of understanding of this simple fact.

Freedom of speech is fundamental to any democracy. We've stopped work on Labour's Hate Speech legislation, the vague and overreaching proposal by the previous government was careless legislating and we’ve stopped it in its tracks.

This is the “politically neutral, independent, and unbiased” person the media went to for comments on my speech. How’s that for duplicity.

It seems the media care more about the Chumbawamba story than we do. We actually don’t care.

There’s nothing to ‘cease or desist’.

The song worked like a charm for our first public meeting after the election. The over 700 people in the crowd thought so too.

We will be sure…

The story about the use of the Chumbawamba song has been initiated by a leftie shill reporter who proactively sought to call a member of a former band, which disbanded twelve years ago, give their biased appraisal of what was said in my speech, and concocted a ham-fisted attempt…

Many in the mainstream media have taken what was said in New Zealand First’s State of the Nation Speech in Palmerston North on Sunday and deliberately, deceitfully, and ignorantly misrepresented what I said and why I said it.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs has welcomed the Foreign Minister of China, Wang Yi, to Wellington today for discussions on the full breadth of the bilateral relationship.

Chris Hipkins hid behind a press release yesterday and said that he was glad he ‘ruled me out’ before the election.

Newsflash Chris. I publicly ruled out working with you and your woke Labour cronies twelve months before you stuttered the words.

But you know that. And so do…

I’m not so surprised the Labour Party has felt it necessary to put a press release out reacting to our State of the Nation speech in such an insulting and ageistic manner.

Shakespeare was right when he said ‘you doth protest too much’.

It seems what I said about Labour…
