That, was going to be ‘it’, for my contribution to the
disturbing trend of racial division which lurks latent as a menace to the
harmony of New Zealand.
However, before this week had past, Dr Don Brash drew attention to a threat with more enduring consequences than the tsunami that threatened to plunder our pastures.
From Mediawatch, 2:37 pm today:
An article published in the
Northland Age newspaper on Tuesday and on the New Zealand Herald website has
been withdrawn after it was condemned as racist - and publisher NZME says it
won't publish Dr Michael Bassett's work on its platforms.
The managing editor of
publisher NZME, Shayne Currie, told RNZ the article was “unacceptable” and
commentary from the former cabinet minister and historian “will no longer
appear on our platforms.”
What did my former university lecturer and former
opponent in parliament say?
Here’s a cut & paste from Mediawatch:
“All things derived from Europe,
except our creature comforts, must be set aside as we are expected to embrace
all things Māori,” he wrote.
“It won’t be long before the woke
who are driving all of this insist on officially changing our country’s
name."
The article criticised increasing
use of ‘Aotearoa,’ teaching New Zealand history in schools, plans for
bi-lingual street names and RNZ reporters adopting Māori words and phrases.
He also claimed “excessive” land
confiscations after the wars of the 1860s “came on top of damage Māori had
already done to themselves.” and claimed Māori were “thin on the ground in the
Auckland area in 1840.”
“When will Aucklanders - and New
Zealanders as a whole - stop cringing and wake up to what is being done to
their culture, and largely with their money?” he concluded.
As one commentator observes: “This is an outrageous affront
to democracy.”
Dr Brash suggests:
“This means that Stuff, NZME, RNZ and Media Works now accept only one
interpretation of New Zealand history and will publish no dissenting view, even
by a highly regarded historian like Michael Bassett.”
And what is the solution?
The creation of a new news channel?
Possibly – but I suggest the easier solution is to vote in
the next General Election, for a political party which is committed to
addressing this assault on what you want for your country.

It’s extraordinary that an eminent historian and former Cabinet minister can be deplatformed. What on earth is happening to this country? The sooner a non-woke government is elected the better. Mind you, the National Party will have to summon up some courage - no more “it’d be too divisive”. Sometimes you’ve got to have principles.
I hope there is a party committed to addressing these issues. Labour now controls probably 80% of the editorial/opinion space in the NZ media so it will be an enormous battle for National or ACT to get in. I have just been reading the Saturday newspapers and several articles portraying Jacinda Ardern as a hero for putting a part time KFC worker in her place. This media coverage is beyond a joke.
As demonstrated in Ross' article, virtually all of the NZ media follows the woke agenda religiously. So without a readily available alternative source of BALANCED news and reporting, I suspect that a very large proportion of the NZ public are blissfully unaware of the whole pro-Maori racist agenda and its dire implications, which this government is enacting by stealth.
Keeping the public in the dark, or informed on only one point of view, is essential to Labour (and the Greens) advancing their aims to undemocratically give a small ethnic minority power, rights and influence far in excess of their representation in the whole population.
A survey of the public asking key questions on these issues - Maori wards, Maori sovereignty, NZ history etc - may give us a more accurate view of what the public know or believe. Without that we are only guessing.
How can you get any non-woke policies and opinions effectively to the NZ public when the media will simply not report them. NZ is in a dire position, not seen before. A government claiming to be all about democracy and governing for all is clearly manipulating opinion and promoting its own propaganda because it doesn't trust the public to make the decision they want - socialism to a tee!!

Boycott the NZ Herald and other left wing media. Don't buy any print media that are left and woke.
Has the " non woke" up tv channel been investigated..??
Call it Sovereign TV.
IPO?
HOW MUCH PER SHARE
It is disturbing that so swiftly many commentators in NZ, including the eminent Dr. Bassett, my former History lecturer at Auckland University, are being censored or are losing their positions. Advertisers quickly forced the dispensing of Magic Radio's talkback hosts John Banks and Sean Plunket. Who's next? This doesn't happen in Australia with their outspoken presenters like Alan Jones and the likes. Our TV news presenters are not allowed to voice opinions, it seems, unless they are innocuous or follow the government narrative. And don't forget, it was our PM that said the Labour Party are the only source of truth in NZ!! We are getting closer to the world of Orwell's '1984' daily.
If "e-local" became national it might shift the balance a bit.
I hope that my child and grand children have time to sell up and emigrate before Jacinda hoists the red flag over the Beehive, and then abolishes the institution therein.
When I talk to friends abroad they cannot believe that in NZ we have dedicated race based seats in Parliament and other local government institutions, as part of a democratic system based on Westminster.
Can anyone imagine this happening in Oz? Far from being complicit in it, the Media would tear apart anyone who even hinted at it,let alone promoted it.
Can we turn back the clock and rejoin New South Wales?
I appreciate the info. in Ross Bakers post, is there any more and if so can it be collected into one document to be used as a basis for the school History curriculum.LOL
The RED flag over the Beehive?
I am almost 100% that this is not going to happen unless labour stays in power and sells NZ to China and this nice country becomes a colony of China.
Give and take about 25 years and our children and grandchildren have the same struggle as Hong Kong has now.
