I see that the Transgender Bill is on the Order Paper today, down for its Second Reading which will then be a short walk from being New Zealand law… “The bill will allow people to self-identify their sex on their birth certificate without going to the Family Court.

“The Modern Definition of Freedom is Wrong”
By NZB3
An unexpected outburst attacking Libertarianism just appeared on the BFG under the title ‘The Modern Definition of Freedom Is Wrong’. Davidson thinks that what is keeping him from degeneracy is the mob around him, not his own vales. He projects that onto others, assuming we have the same problem he does.¹ “The first thing we […]

1864: Swannanoa
By Anarchist History of New Zealand

1841: The Colony of New Zealand
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, 3 May, 1841, is New Zealand’s 180th birthday. I doubt anybody else will be writing about it but this is the day we became the Colony of New Zealand rather than a sub-unit of the Colony of New South Wales. Governorship of New Zealand came into being, rather than Governorship over New […]

Appeal Denied for Stef and Lauren
By NZB3
How transparently disingenuous of Goff. The legal reality relied upon is that the Mayor’s administration care about the security, health, and safety of Lauren and Stef.
