John Franklin: “I am not Pakeha, I am a Kiwi.”

Have you ever filled in a form, especially one from the government, and the closest ethnic definition that you can select is Pakeha or European or Pakeha/European, yet you identify with neither?

Regrettably, I have been coerced and have selected Pakeha or European rather than make a new category under “Other” and hand write in “New Zealander” or “Kiwi”.

I find it unacceptable that despite our feedback over several decades, the government are still coercing the Pakeha identity on New Zealanders with European ancestry and am sure other ethnic groups have a similar frustration.

John Franklin: “One People, One Language”

Recently I learnt that Te Reo Māori and Sign Language are the only Official languages of New Zealand.

That’s despite over 95% of the population using English in their everyday lives, compared with Māori (4.1%) and New Zealand Sign Language (0.5%).

Like many New Zealanders, I was under the false impression that both English and Te Reo Māori were official NZ languages, but English is only the “De facto” language.

That means that Te Reo Maori is the only “Official” spoken language of New Zealand.

John Franklin: “Racism is a White Problem”

“Racism is a White Problem”, is a classic oxymoron as that statement contradicts itself.

To claim that only white people can be racist is in itself a racist statement, it denigrates an ethnic group based on the colour of their skin. The term oxymoron is quite funny as you would think that only a moron could unknowingly contradict themself within a five-word sentence.

What is not so funny is that this oxymoron is part of the training material now promoted in the tertiary education system since the new government entity Te Pukenga took it over.

John Franklin: “Stand for Equal Rights”

When I consider the current political landscape, I involuntarily shake my head and ask how on earth did we get here? Some of the rhetoric coming from politicians, the government and the agencies they run is so wayward that it borders on lunacy. And I can’t escape the conclusion that much of it contradicts the foundational rights underpinning our society’s civil liberties that previous generations fought to protect.

We are seeing the introduction of several new policies that are biased towards certain ethnic groups, so we no longer have a society where all ethnicities can expect to be treated equally. We are also seeing the introduction of new gender-biased policies despite decades of work to stamp out gender prejudice, notably from the suffrage movement.

John Franklin: “The Magic Equity Wand”

How do you hide a stinking pile of race-based supremacist policies and rampant socialism? Easy, just wave the magic equity wand over it.

Not long ago I attended a Te Pukenga presentation at the Polytech campus, one speaker who was a Māori woman told us four times in a short presentation that the entire purpose for Te Pukenga was to ensure that the tertiary education system was equitable for Māori. The fourth time, just in case we all missed it the first three times she also added, and Pacifica and then almost as an afterthought she added, and any other disadvantaged groups. In case there was any lingering doubt about the goal of Te Pukenga, she then smugly stated that every aspect of operations was going to be scrutinised with a fine-toothed comb to ensure they were equitable for Māori.

John Franklin: “We are now One People”

The current Labour government is purposely ceding control of New Zealand’s assets and infrastructure to the Iwi elite because they represent the indigenous people of NZ in line with the unworkable suggestions of the United Nations Agenda 2030.

This is not a theory; it’s a provable fact, there is evidence that it is part of a deliberate agenda, there is also the evidence of what they have already achieved to date, the evidence is there to see.

He Puapua is the name of the driving body set up by the current Labour government to push this agenda. Meet the team behind He Puapua below, there is only ever going to be one beneficiary from this group, the Iwi elite.
