Immigrant voices matter too. After 36 years here, she’s saying @BrianTamakiNZ’s concerns on mass migration are ‘as real as it gets.’
You can’t dismiss these as ‘racism’ when longtime residents—new Kiwis included—feel the strain. Time for honest dialogue, not division. What’s your take on pace & integration? #ThirdCultureCrossroads #CulturalDialogue #NZDay

The hat didn’t take long…

This is excellent! Self-learning, exposing yourself to more literature, more perspectives is a key to deeper levels of thinking.

In NZ’s multicultural mix, do you feel more like a ‘third culture’ hybrid (blending roots) or rooted in one primary identity?

Listen to the Superb Douglas Murray just speaking FACTS and asking the Brutal Question Western Societies AVOID. “We don’t want them here! and I’m perfectly willing to say that because it needs to be said” 👏👏👏

I generally hate AI, but this “Star Wars” takedown of Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper is tremendous… 😂

As I reported from court yesterday over the horrific murder of young mother Rhiannon Whyte by a Sudanese invader staying at a hotel at the taxpayers expense where she worked. I ran into legacy media, ITV, and gave them some home truths. They're massively to blame, labelling, me and anyone else who speaks out about the invasion of our country, and the problems that come with it, as "far right". Blood on theirs and politicians' hands!

PATRIOTS FLOOD THE STREETS… THE NEW ZEALAND FLAG HAS ITS MOMENT 🇳🇿 What a sight to behold. True Patriots coming together, flying the New Zealand flag proudly. When did you last see this many NZ flags flown in unity? Too often our NZ streets are filled with every other flag: Rainbow. Transgender. Palestine. Māori sovereignty. Sikh. Khalistan. A walk down Queen Street today showed that clearly among those opposing us…the far-left mob had barely a NZ flag in sight. But today was different. Today was beautiful. Today was New Zealand’s day. The NZ flag finally had its moment in the sun…and it shone. Proud. Peaceful. United. Now, about the crowd numbers… NZ Herald say 700. 1News say 1,200. The online haters say 200. Independent online influencers put their footage through Grok…and it assessed the crowd at more than 5,000 . But don’t just take anyone’s word for it. You be the judge. Watch this… This is the New Zealand the media refuses to see. This is the New Zealand they keep trying to silence. But you can’t ignore a movement like this for much longer. The True Patriots are growing in number…and the opposition is working overtime to downplay it. 🇳🇿 Keep NZ, NZ. Kiwis First. True Patriots. 🇳🇿

Before today’s march, a moment to slow down. What does belonging in NZ really mean today? This isn’t about sides—it’s about honest dialogue on migration, identity, integration, and building a shared future with dignity. Third Culture lens: space for difference shared responsibility. Watch & share your thoughts. #ThirdCultureCrossroads #NZDay #BelongingInNZ

Police blocked the anti mass immigration protest from accessing the bridge. Solid turnout and a clear message: New Zealand needs a harder look at immigration numbers. We need skilled migrants, not more curry chefs and Uber drivers. #nzpol

Its an old saying that in politics, there is no such thing as a coincidence. NZ Police have recently appointed a Muslim woman as a Police Superintendent and she is stopping Christian anti-immigration advocate Brian Tamaki from marching across the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Something that could look a bit dodgy to the cynics amongst us. After all, conditions have not changed since a Palestine protest was given permission to march in September last year. (in the end, it was cancelled because of high winds). In 2024 a Maori protest group marched over the bridge even when police and NZTA had refused authorisation. So suddenly the Police are in arrest mode? IMHO no protest should ever take place on the Harbour Bridge, but this decision stinks of the selective or two tier policing that is plaguing western societies today. I notice Waitematā District Commander Superintendent Naila Hassan was not wearing her usual Muslim head scarf in her interview this morning. Wonder why that was.

Arrived in Auckland. For the bridge to better event. x.com/i/broadcasts/1vOGwdjVL…

New Zealand citizenship should be hard to get. Not because we don’t welcome people. But because citizenship is not the same thing as residency, and confusing the two weakens both. Citizenship is the highest trust a country can offer. It is not a participation trophy. It is a lifetime contract between a nation and an individual, and right now we treat it far too casually. Scarcity matters. In every other domain like elite universities, rare passports, trusted brands, even stable currencies; scarcity signals value. When something is easy to obtain, it stops meaning anything. When something is earned, it shapes behaviour long before it’s granted. If New Zealand citizenship were genuinely hard to get, like after ten years, it would do three powerful things: 1. It would attract better people. The highest-quality individuals are not afraid of standards. They expect them. A long pathway filters for patience, contribution, and long-term thinking. People who are only here for convenience self-select out. People who want to build stay in. 2. It would reward contribution, not just time served. Ten years is not arbitrary. It’s long enough to show who you really are. How you work. How you treat others. Whether you contribute or extract. Whether you respect the social contract when no one is watching. 3. It would protect the integrity of the passport itself. A passport is a reputation. Every citizen carries it into the world. Weak standards externalise risk onto everyone else who holds it. Strong standards compound trust. And criminal charges should end the pathway. Full stop. Citizenship is about trust. If you violate the laws of the country you are asking to permanently belong to, you have demonstrated misalignment with that trust. Forgiveness can exist without entitlement. Residency can exist without citizenship. Those are not the same thing. This is not anti-immigrant. It’s pro-citizenship. New Zealand benefits enormously from immigration, but it needs to be immigrants who share our values and respect our culture and are willing to assimilate. Citizenship should be the capstone, not the entry point. Something earned over time, proven through conduct, and lost if that conduct fundamentally breaks the social fabric. When you make citizenship rare, you don’t make a country colder. You make it stronger. Because people protect what they work for. And countries should do the same.

No more marches on Auckland Harbour Bridge. Blanket ban. We’ll watch this with interest, won’t we….

In a country as multicultural as NZ, where do you think the balance lies between preserving Kiwi traditions and welcoming new cultures?
