By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in New Zealand history, 30 April, 1861, the Nelson Provincial Council opened its new buildings and sat at their first council meeting therein.

New Zealand Forest Service
By NZB3
Interesting little thing of note that happened today. Labour 6.0 changed the name of Forestry New Zealand to New Zealand Forest Service. The headquarters will also be moved from Wellington to Rotorua. To most of the world this is just a cosmetic change. The most anyone will care is that some money will be wasted […]

2004: Speedgate
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
As with most of Canterbury, Waimate started out as a sheep run. On 18 July 1854 Michael Studholme arrived to set up his estate and constructed his family cottage ‘The Cuddy’. Impressively, it still stands today in the hands of the same family. 150 Years later, Waimate was celebrating its sesquicentennial. The local Labour MP, […]

Amused to see now that the Productivity Commission has finally been taken over by Labour 6.0 they’ve lost no time using it to attack business. New Boss, Nana, seems to be talking off the seat of his pants only. His opinion is that our leading firms (doesn’t go as far to attack them by name, […]

1950: New Zealand War Service Medal
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
It was in c.1950 that the New Zealand Government issued its first ever war service medal. Although it was approved by the King, it was perhaps a sign on the part of Labour 1.0 of breaking with the British Motherland. The New Zealand War Service Medal (NZWSM) was given the go-ahead in 1948, the same […]

He Aronga Takirua
By NZB3
For years we’ve been pressured in New Zealand to be ‘Culturally Safe’ and Politically Correct with reference to Maori customs. Academics have been inventing and changing what these customs were, are, and will be, on the fly quite artificially. A Frankenstein’s Monster of bits and pieces have been constructed in our universities by the likes of […]

1993: Oi
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
For two seasons (1993 & 1994) New Zealand had a rather brilliant science/comedy TV show called ‘Oi’. Despite the very Kiwi title, ‘Oi’ was cleverly filmed for ease of dubbing into any language so it could be marketed internationally. I discovered it myself on Sunday mornings on TV3 from 9:20 to 10:05am back in 1994. […]

1987: Newstalk 1ZB
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
In 1987 the Government commercial radio station of Auckland, 1ZB, was in crisis. Even though over 2/3 of its work was supplied and funded by Radio New Zealand, 1ZB was sliding down the ratings. They were being beaten by non-government radio that not only was not massively subsidised but actually had to pay taxes for […]
