New Conservative has stated that this year’s general election will be the most important in living memory, and we find that the fork in the road that is the Ihumātao situation is part of this. We know that the Ihumātao deal was already signed and sealed, that it was a full and final deal, that
With the escalation of the SARS-related, Wuhan coronavirus, we must protect our people.

Training children about a climate emergency under the current format will be a disaster as the government is giving false hope to our children that they can control the climate – when they can’t. Teach pollution reduction, teach care of the environment, teach waste pathways, but to deliberately direct children into believing the deception that
Last night twelve armed police officers raided the home of a young family with a newborn child. No police record and no criminal convictions.

Small business owners are struggling in New Zealand. They have a business to run, services to provide, and staff to employ, as well as the everyday issues of family, health and finances.

The confirmation by NZ Police today, of a massive data breach making public the details of firearms owners who have either already turned in prohibited items, or registered their information with police to notify them of prohibited items, is just the latest example of why the administration of the Arms Act needs to be removed
The Green MP’s call for ACC to divest of its $1Bl investment in fossil fuels overlooks a few basic truths clearly understood by New Conservative and the average New Zealander. No 1 is that 80% of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels. It is an economically sound investment, and seeing as ACC is charged
The Labour led coalition government is continuing to create homelessness. The impact of immigration, failure of Kiwibuild, and attacks on the rental market, have resulted in the opposite outcomes that New Zealanders were promised. With 56,000 new immigrants last year, less than 300 houses built by Kiwibuild, and decreasing rental property availability due to government

Thursday, September 19, 2019 Disappointment expressed by Fletcher Building CEO, Ross Taylor, reflects the increasing frustration held by many with this Government’s failure to protect private property rights.[1] An argument within mana whenua and non-mana whenua has now, with the intervention of Kiingitanga, threatened to undermine private property rights as well as bring every Waitangi
GDP figures out today show an economy that is slowing very quickly and the general outlook is negative rather than positive. “These figures confirm the diminishing confidence New Zealanders are feeling in this economy and their reluctance to invest energy, initiative and innovation, under a government that has been critical of capitalism,” says Leighton Baker,
Mainstream media, as the purveyors of truth and source of balanced information, took another backward step today with the announcement by Stuff that most New Zealand organisations had joined 170 media outlets from around the world in the “Covering Climate Now” project. “The last bastion for protecting free speech, which indeed advocates for independent and
