Oriini Kaipara Wins Against Machine Politician

New Zealand - Tamaki Makaurau byelection 2025 - The word was that Oriini Kaipara had the win within her grasp as you could barely find anyone who said they'd not be voting for her.

Oriini Kaipara is that rather pleasant, and straightforward TV presenter who used to pop up on the AM Show on TV3. I had previously seen her reading the news, or whatever, but her appearances on the AM Show in the mornings lifted her profile. She came across as genuine, warm and funny. Basically, just the sort of person not suited to parliament.

She stood in the byelection against List MP, Peeni Henare, who had previously held the seat before the Maori Party took it off him in 2023. The byelection had come about as the sitting Maori Party MP died suddenly. So, it was all-on and Labour put everything it had into winning the seat back. They had all the media behind them, it was full-on attack Ms Kaipara.

Even as the results were announced, and coverage followed the next day, all the media could talk about was Peeni Henare, and how he lost. The winner was glossed over. 

This is the latest Radio NZ headline: 

Labour's Peeni Henare concedes Tāmaki Makaurau by-election to Te Pāti Māori rival Oriini Kaipara

It started out as this:

Kaipara keeps Tamaki Makaurau for Te Pati Maori

The bias is obvious, now they lead with Peeni Henare, while it previously read the winner and omitted the loser altogether. 

Basically, NZ media are an absolute disgrace. 

And I say to Oriini Kaipara, go for it, but remember one thing, the knives will be out. I can hear the sharpening going on in the background as I write this. 

NZ's Luxon Next Churchill?

Be careful following the mainstream media as they are full of it and often wrong in their assessment. Right now, National have a paper thin majority, which is likely to evaporate after special votes are counted. That means NZ First are back and able to bring some sanity to Parliament.

The problem hasn't been solved though. The NZ Parliament still kept us locked up under lockdown despite having done no wrong, and they tried to kill or injure us with the poisonous jab. So, National and ACT are not to be trusted any more than the other bunch of criminals.

Oh and now that timely graphic:

Do Not Vote Early

Early voting has begun for the New Zealand General Election 2023. The polls close at 7pm on October 14th, and between now and then you can cast your vote at any voting place across the country. 

Given the unsecured way voting occurs, with ballots placed into an unlocked cardboard box, I suggest voters DO NOT vote early. Leave things until the last minute. This prevents interference with ballots. Who knows what may happen to that piece of paper if you vote now.

I'm voting late, on October 14th preferably, and I'm voting for a party currently outside parliament. For me, that's a first, but I refuse to vote for any of the criminals that call themselves MP's, or their parties for that matter. They should all be prosecuted for crimes against humanity, and their parties banned. 

River of Freedom

Due in New Zealand cinemas soon. This is a must watch documentary following the 2022 protests against mandates which the media and parliament tried to ignore.

Oh, and just a quick note; of all the minor parties only NZ First has any chance of getting over the 5% threshold, so I'm giving them my party vote. I suggest all other lovers of freedom do the same.

National Party Conference 2022

Tired. Hackneyed. False. These are just some of the key words to come out of the National Party's keynote address at their party conference in Christchurch. Tired rhetoric, hackneyed phrases and false promises.

Luxon promises to have individual case managers dealing with the under-25's who have been unemployed longer than three months. To me, that sounds expensive and just another level of bureaucracy.

How about slamming lockdowns, the poisonous jab, the mounting government debt and the attack on our food supply. No, the best National can do is bleat about the unemployed. It's tiresome, and as always they'll do none of it if elected. They never do.

National are part of the problem. We need new political parties to replace those currently in parliament, and fast.

New Zealand Freedom Revolution

Wellington: the Police have cordoned off several streets around Parliament and this is now essentially an area for a free festival of freedom with thousands of people attending. 

This is a huge humiliation for Trevor Mallard and Jabcinda Ardern. I don't see how Ardern can remain in office. Clearly the Police are not listening to her, and the Army don't return calls either. 

Time to pack up and leave Jabcinda. On yer bike.

Press Release: Parliament Protesters Wellington

The following is a press release from the protesters outside New Zealand's parliament in Wellington:

https://dailytelegraph.co.nz/news/press-release-parliament-protesters-requests-meeting-with-government/

Full text of Press Release:

Today marks one week since tens of thousands of New Zealanders from all walks of life, ages and ethnicities came together in a peaceful protest.

They travelled from all over the country and have been supported in many ways by hundreds of thousands of Kiwis.

They are united in condemning the government’s flagrant breach of human rights, deliberate divisiveness, and discrimination. The constant law changes are inconsistent with the government’s duties to the New Zealanders it was elected to represent.

The protest is a result of immense frustration and concern. People are outraged by the conduct of the government and its lack of respect, dismissive attitude and unwillingness to engage.

The position of protestors and the government have become entrenched, but this protest can end.

This communication summarises the views of the majority of groups present at Parliament today:

• Convoy 2022 NZ
• Freedom Alliance
• New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science
• Outdoors & Freedom Movement
• The Freedom and Rights Coalition
• Voices for Freedom.

We have come together and we are in agreement that the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act and all the orders and mandates made under that legislation must be revoked immediately.

The government needs to lift the unnecessary mandates, and an urgent meeting has been requested with senior cabinet ministers to open dialogue.

The infection fatality rate of Omicron is lower than the seasonal flu. Before the global pandemic, it was considered ‘normal’ for 500-700 New Zealanders to die from the seasonal flu each year. On average, 100 Kiwis die each day from various causes. There needs to be perspective.

The Traffic Light system, the ‘no jab, no job’ laws and other mandates are discriminatory, unjustified and a breach of fundamental human rights.

Not one Government representative has engaged in dialogue with the peaceful protesters. Their response of soaking the ground with high-pressure irrigation, bright lights, blasting music and ads at the gathering is infantile and highly unhelpful to bringing about a resolution. We are concerned that unless these tactics cease, they could cause significant damage to any trust held by the protesters that their elected representatives are interested in listening to them.

In addition, the behaviour of the Police last Thursday was unconscionable. New Zealanders, our friends, and the media worldwide watched in horror the deplorable and unlawful police conduct towards peaceful protestors, including women and children.

We reiterate that our request is that the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act and all the orders and mandates made under that legislation be revoked immediately in accordance with the principles of justice, democracy, respect for human rights, equality, non-discrimination, good governance and good faith.

Until the end of the mandates, participants are determined to maintain their presence.

The media is grossly misrepresenting the situation. The protestors are friendly, peaceful, hardworking New Zealanders who are pro-medical freedom. Government and media must stop their deliberate and sustained misinformation campaign.

**PRESS RELEASE ENDS**

Protesters have sent a letter to all MPs requesting an urgent meeting with senior cabinet members to open dialogue.

The government is yet to respond.

Update to follow.
