Spending over $570,000 on a slide and a bit of landscaping shows total disrespect to tax paying citizens and proves yet again that this government has no connection to the budgets of ordinary Kiwis. It is no wonder Kiwibuild is such an abject failure when the government thinks this amount of money is reasonable for a
On the 25th of January, New Conservative called out the lazy and incompetent practices of the Labour/NZF/Green government, stating: “…we do not even have the testing kits in New Zealand…and this government is treating the escalating situation with disdain and putting our people at risk. Pause the movement of people into New Zealand from the
Today’s article in Stuff, reporting on the failures by NZ Police in giving Tarrant his NZ firearms licence, is a clarion call to Parliament to stop blaming NZ licensed firearms owners for government agency mistakes. Over a year has gone by and only now, are sources within the NZ Police willing to speak up about
District Health Boards using skin colour in determining placement on surgery lists, the increasing call for splitting New Zealand up into two governments, giving extra money and power to one race over others, are ways in which the Labour/NZF/Green government increasingly has more in common with apartheid-friendly politicians from last century than timeless New Zealand

“The government is usurping parental rights when it allows the Ministry of Education to teach distorted scientific facts claiming that girls and boys can be born in the wrong body,” says Helen Houghton. The recommendation from the Education and Workforce Select Committee, after receiving Helen Houghton’s petition with more than 40,000 signatures, shows that they
Monday, June 8, 2020 Robbing communities of their assets is not the way forward for the racing industry. New Conservative Racing industry spokesman Lachie Ashton urges industry leaders to connect with their grassroots support and clubs earmarked for closure based on the Massara report, and find a better way of restructuring the industry. To use
The current New Zealand government is continuing to squander opportunities to help us recover from the devastation caused by the Covid lockdown. Last month they awarded a taxpayer-funded contract for disability support to an overseas company trading out of tax-friendly Ireland. And now a major rail contract has gone to foreign firms with Chinese and
New Conservative Racing Spokesman, Lachie Ashton, calls for a commission of inquiry into the Racing Industry Transition Agency (RITA), the New Zealand Racing Board (NZRB) and the Racing Integrity Unity (RIU) following twenty years of poor management that has left the industry in crisis. He wants commissioners appointed by the industry to take over the
New Conservative supports the idea of scrapping consent requirements for small, low risk building as proposed by the government. “This is a step in the right direction of reducing government control and removing barriers for productivity,” says Party Leader Leighton Baker. The next step would be to look at compliance costs for small businesses and recognise
With the pause afforded us by Covid-19, maybe it is also time for a rethink of some of our major infrastructure projects planned for the coming years. We do need to get our country moving again. We do need to create jobs. We do need to buy New Zealand Made. One project that springs to mind
Water is essential for life, it drops from the sky and makes its way on and below ground to the sea to be evaporated and dropped again. No one should own it and we need a designated system to manage it for the good of all New Zealanders. Our biggest city needs more access. So
Integrity: the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. Since 2017, New Zealand has witnessed significant incompetence from the Labour/NZF/Greens government, with examples including Kiwibuild, the ‘not a slush fund’ Provincial Growth Fund, firearm debacles, under/overreaction to COVID-19, Ihumātao, University fees-free, plastic bag ban, child poverty, etc; this has been accompanied by a
Carers of the disabled and those with behavioural disorders desperately need New Zealand to come out of lockdown, as they have received no relief for 6 long weeks now. 24/7 care is massively demanding, and those of us who shower when we want, toilet at our leisure, and enjoy a quiet coffee, have little appreciation
In 2017, the coalition of Labour, NZF and the Greens took control of New Zealand thus becoming the start of a journey that originally claimed transparency, openness and kindness but has failed to deliver except in the area of removing freedoms and disempowered democracy. New Conservative has worked hard to keep New Zealanders advised of
Today, the first day that Parliament is sitting after almost 5 weeks of a nationwide lockdown, the Arms Legislation Bill (commonly known as the 2nd tranche) is on the Parliamentary Order Paper as a Bill for consideration. This Bill contains a number of items that are highly contentious. New Conservative opposes this bill entirely. Critically,
NewsFlash! Dying from anthropogenic climate change is less likely than dying from Covid-19. While Covid-19 has been blamed for around 0.1% of our deaths this year, there is no empirical evidence that human contribution to the climate has added to any fatalities. Good news for concerned students: they will not be dead in twelve years
As the Lockdown has progressed, the signs of further state control over New Zealanders’ freedoms by this Labour, NZ First and Green coalition is becoming ever more apparent. We are seeing the state give itself more power, both through the suppression of civil liberties and the expansion of the state. Police checkpoints have been established
The government’s plan to plant one billion pine trees does not stack up economically or environmentally and needs to be dropped until the benefits can be proven to outweigh the harm. Pine trees use around 100L of water per day which means in 3.5 days those 1B trees will use the same amount of water
New Conservative Leader Leighton Baker has lived in and around the Waimakariri district since 1992 and is revelling in the opportunity to represent the electorate in Parliament after the 2020 general election. “Waimakariri is a diverse district with a strong rural community as well as several distinct urban areas and a large retired population.
