2021: Radio Hauraki Gets Woke
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Around about the turn of the year 2021, I noticed Radio Hauraki had started saying ‘Hauraki’ funny. Instead of ‘How-racky’ they’ve started saying ‘Hoe-raki.’ The new way is apparently what academic Māori SJW types, and State school teachers, want it to be. Their argument is that it’s the *proper* way to speak and if you […]

Freedom Protest “Unsafe” and “Disorganised”
By NZB3
“To be amongst the protestors is both calming and exhilarating. There’s a strong sense of trust in one another which has been long denied by lockdown separations, physical distancing and masking. People are working together to overcome adversities thrown at them by nature or the state” wrote Lindsay Mitchell last night. Unsafe? Better quarantine all […]

On 13 February the large Sweedish barque Olaf Trygvarson departed Whangaroa under charter to carry a large cargo of timber for the Kauri Timber Company.

Realpolitik
By NZB3
I don’t know how long this has been going on, this current form of politics. 15 or 20 Years? That’s also when a ‘debate’ stopped being a debate but instead a point-scoring game taught at our universities. I know, I was there.

Disruptions in Wellington
By NZB3
Glad to see ex-politician and Anarchist Rodney Hide supporting the pro-freedom protests at Parliament. “I support the protest 100 percent,” he says, on his blog BASSETT, BRASH & HIDE. I support it 100% too within the context it exists in. The proviso is that I would prefer people be Anarchists and not Statists. Watching the […]

“Never been more than 11 COVID-19 patients in ICU at any one time”
By NZB3
The mainstream, aided by the media, aided by government PR, keep re-inforcing that narrative that a molecule is holding us hostage and not ourselves. ‘COVID means this,’ ‘Delta did that,’ or ‘Omicron means that..’ The truth has always been, as it always must be, that we are responsible for how we respond to any crisis […]

1988: The Meade Report

In 1987 Labour 4.0 Prime Minister David Lange gave himself the education portfolio shortly after winning re-election that year. The Ministry of Education was the only department not to prepare a briefing for an in-coming new Minister in accord with the protocol of assuming an election might mean a change of Executive Government. In the […]
