Tikanga is not law. It is cultural indoctrination. A senior, highly respected King’s Counsel with decades of experience in our law courts, Gary Judd KC, has filed a complaint about compulsory tikanga Māori studies for law students - highlighting the utter depths of absurdity

Why do the MSM never disclose that the leader and spokesman for the protest Hikoi, Eru Kapa-Kingi, was, last year, both an electorate and list candidate for the Māori Party. They don’t hesitate to raise it about pakeha who may have had party affiliations some 10 or 15 years ago.

A quick question. How many of you could find the time away from your work and family commitments to go on a 9 day protest march (retired NZ’ers exempt) or are all the participants on the Hikoi unemployed or self employed. And why aren’t the kids participating in school.

Now this explains heaps about the incredibly biased one sided coverage TVNZ+ are giving the Treaty Hikoi. Turns out their Chief Content Officer - Nevak Rogers was on the Hikoi and posting favourable posts on her Instagram account. But I’m sure she remained resolutely impartial.

Fascinating YouGov poll from the US on what were the most important issues people considered before voting. Of course inflation & jobs & economy & immigration all figure highly. But climate change was at 4% and transgender issues at 1%. 🤔

Nikki Kay was just a bundle of energy & a super nice human being. She held strong views on issues like Conservation & the Environment & always articulated those views so eloquently when debating. I enjoyed her company immensely. Such a loss. Nikki - you’ll always be remembered.

Auckland’s transport governance model is falling short of meeting the expectations of the Govt, Council, and most importantly Aucklanders. By returning decision-making to elected representatives, our Govt is enabling Aucklanders to influence the transport policies affecting them.

Check out the Waikato’s SH1/29 roundabout with two new permanent approaches in action just in time for summer. This project is on track for completion by mid-2025 and is designed to connect to one of our new four-lane Roads of National Significance between Cambridge and Piarere.

My Twins Brittany and Connor at the ASB Tennis today. They are growing up so fast. I’m a very proud dad

Ministry of Social Development found wrong to refuse $1026 payment for food at tangi Food is of special significance to Maori?? I’d have thought it’s bloody vital for every human on this planet. I hope MSD will pay for the Sav Blanc at my sending off. nzherald.co.nz/nz/ministry-of…

#WATCH – Media asked me what I think about a failed Labour Party candidate’s campaign to protect the bloated bureaucracy. Here’s my response 👇

The actions of Destiny Church in Te Atatū today are totally unacceptable. While I respect freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest, there is absolutely no place for thuggery.

Great news for Auckland today! Auckland Transport has now confirmed where Labour’s blanket speed limit reductions will be reversed as a result of our Government’s new sensible speed limit rule. [1/4]

It means key arterial roads like Pakuranga Road will be increasing back to 60km/h and local streets like Weymouth Road will be increasing back to 50km/h! [2/4]

Tell me the left don’t have double standards. In the attached clip, Labour list MP Ayesha Verrall makes fun of the Health Ministers size. If the boot were on the other foot & a National MP made fun of the size of some opposition members, all hell would be unleashed. Hypocrites.

Yesterday was such a special day. The speed limit on the 6 lane arterial Pakuranga Highway was finally reinstated to a speed that everyone drives at regardless of what the Labour Government tried to enforce upon us. Well done Simeon Brown MP. Promises made - promises kept.

Yikes. I had no idea. According to Chloe the average wealth of a household in this country is $433 million dollars. I’m so outta touch.

Casey Costello: This isn't about haka, this is about the Maori Party's performative outrage

So here’s a measure of TVNZ’s impartiality. On Q&A Maiki Sherman interrupted/cut short Minister Paul Goldsmith on more than a dozen occasions. She hardly let him finish a sentence. She then interviewed Haehaetu Barret re homelessness and never once did she interrupt her.🤔
