Communist Pigs
By NZB3
Under Labour 6.0 Communist Chinese Pork doesn’t need to be labled as such. Worse, it can be given a token adjustment like marinate or infused with a bit of moisture and labelled as New Zealand product. Now listen as Minister for Agg. Damien O’Connor defends this. Does he admit there’s some kind of sweetheart deal […]

1919: Bulford Kiwi
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, 15 March, 1919, the Great Wrong War was over but our men sent to die for it were penned up in South-West England like sheep. So, today, they rioted. A military prison, really. No way home to New Zealand and no opportunity to leave the camp to see the Old Country they […]

Te Pae Oranga

Meet Your New Replacement, Son
By NZB3
Supermarkets, fast food, The Warehouse, and K-Mart, have all been replacing humans with robots at the check-outs. It’s a reaction to artificial demands for increased wages, for a Minimum Wage currently branded as “a living wage.” It’s not that capital/technology replacing labour jobs is a bad thing. It’s wonderful that machines should do more grunt […]

Jack, Are You Gonna Get Vaccinated?
By NZB3
Labour, you’ve come a long way from your working class roots in Blackball. Labour 1.0 was composed of low-skilled and minimally-educated union officials but they put a high premium on acting smart. Their publicity said that they were very well read and perhaps the really were. They championed the working man. The hard-had wearing folk […]

Jacinda and her Cabinet
By NZB3
If Auckland’s Alert Level decision was made days ago by Cabinet then why must we wait until noon on Friday? It’s a riddle posed by Judith Collins and Chris Bishop of National but they already know the answer. The answer is that Ardern pretends not to be an autocrat who makes Government decisions from the […]

1845: The Sacking of Russell
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, 11 March, 1845, Russell (aka Kororareka) was destroyed. Sacked by Maoris then bombarded to pieces by The State! Both sides looted what remained.

“Women Belong in the Kitchen”
By NZB3
Burger King international tried to pander to Social Justice Warriors and failed. It wasn’t the failure to be complicit or castrated or simpering or compliant to the SJW though. Burger King’s error was an error in Double Think. They did what the SJWs said rather than read their minds and do what they really want. […]

1957: Nash Equilibrium
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Was looking at this photo of Walter Nash winning the 1957 election and he’s smiling. The defeated Prime Minister Keith Holyoake was smiling too because what else could he do, mope for the camera? If Holyoake looks sad, neutral, angry, hurt, or any emotion but joyous, he’s going to look like a looser. His blood […]

“Willingness to assist in a meaningful manner that demonstrates the practicalities of the partnership.”
By NZB3
Tokelau’s Administrator Ross Ardern is getting ready to vaccinate his Islands too. Like father like daughter. “The financial numbers around this support should not be the primary talking point. For me it is about a willingness to assist Tokelau…” – Mr Ardern I’ll just bet! New Zealand pumps some $13,000,000 into Tokelau each year. Where’s […]

1830s: Maori Children are Stuffed
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
If you have a good family, a good father, you don’t need to invent one. No need to look for a fantasy hero father in a fictional film or comic. No need to pretend the father you have is good by a special act of imagination. No need to scour the past, to exhume examples […]
