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. Many
Auckland’s new electorate of Flat Bush* will be given the opportunity to have New Conservative’s Deputy Leader fight for their needs and wants. Elliot Ikilei has both lived and worked in or around the electorate for over a decade, with close links in the local community through his extensive work with young people, including working
New Conservative calls on the government to allow expansion of relationship bubbles, the start up of more businesses and an ease up on travel restrictions by the end of this week. Covid-19 has neither destroyed our population nor even caused widespread debilitating sickness, even though we have continued to allow infected people into our country
This is the question burning in most New Zealanders’ minds: What are the key indicators for decision making?How many new cases are required for the lockdown to continue?How many deaths?What is the plan when the lockdown ends? We understand that the government is dealing with a huge amount of information and challenges, however, we the
Figures from around the world show that Covid-19, while vicious and contagious, does behave like other infections, rampaging quickly through a community, hospitalising a small percentage and causing death in an even smaller percentage. The World Health Organisation’s own figures show that, even in the worst hit province of Hubei, China, 3085 people died from
New Conservative joins the many experts in their fields and is calling for the Government to immediately implement Covid-19 Alert 4. On Sunday alone, Auckland had 4 schools linked to Covid-19. Today, a call to Government to go to Alert 4 and close all schools and daycares immediately was made by The Teaching Council. New
Dismembering a live baby with or without sedation can never be classified as kind. Brutal? Yes. Repugnant? Yes. Inhumane? Yes. Kind? No! Leaving a living baby on a cold stainless steel bench to die does not qualify as kind either, yet this government has rejected requiring medical treatment be given to abortion survivors. Even after birth!
According to an article released this week, late Saturday night on the eve of the commemoration of the Christchurch massacre, a firearms licence holder was visited and interrogated by armed police at his home, and segregated from his family when they returned home later. He was questioned on political beliefs, social media identity, religious affiliation.
Six reasons Abortion is not Ok. 1.The world needs more New Zealanders! It needs our creativity, industriousness and expertise. We allow thousands to migrate here every year to increase our Labour force. Surely it would be better to have New Zealand made!! 2. It’s hypocritical to give human rights to a river (Whanganui) but deny
New Conservative is extremely concerned over what is tantamount to the confiscation by government of private land, without compensation. Taranaki farmers and landowners have had portions of their properties classed as “Significant Natural Areas” (SNA). This places extraordinary conditions on the use and development of land they already own. There is to be no compensation for
Since 2017 New Conservative has been calling for net zero immigration until our housing stocks meet demand. Immigrants must prove they are financially independent so they have the means to pay higher rents which forces those at the bottom of the rent chain to drop off. You don’t usually invite people to come and stay
When a four year old boy is so badly bashed that the only two foreseeable options are death or permanent brain injury, then someone must be held accountable. New Conservative have long held the view that parents are responsible for their children, so then in a situation like this, New Conservative would see the parents
A damning report has revealed how a lack of action by this Labour/Green/NZF government enabled the tragic measles outbreak in Samoa last year, where most of those who died were children under the age of fifteen. Children. Since the current Labour government took over in 2017, immunisation rates fell dramatically, leading to a panel of
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. The state-funded RNZ reports that in the coming weeks visitors from Wuhan will begin arriving into New Zealand, while the “Ministry of Health says there are currently no restrictions on travel or border screening in New Zealand and the risk here is
