At some point in the next 12 months there is supposed to be a referendum in Kanaky/New Caledonia on self-determination.
Whether the referendum will go ahead or not actually remains a bit of an open question.
In either case, the French seem determined to hold on to their island colonies/possessions in the Pacific and Caribbean.
Because of the smallness of indigenous populations in Kanaky/New Caledonia and ‘French Polynesia’, successive French governments have been able to send out enough settlers to ensure an ongoing majority in favour of continuing French rule.
It’s important that progressive-minded people in NZ support the populations seeking independence and emancipation.
Freedom for kanaky/New Caledonia:

Yeah, reminds me a bit about NZ Inc’s immigration policy, keeping Maori in a minority, same as Pacific Islanders, so they not not get too bold with their claims here.
Divide and rule very much is the modus operandi in New Zealand, same as in other places.

NZ Privacy Commissioner fights back today against US Government order to release NZ Citizens bank records.
In a recent US Government order to an Irish bank request to release records of NZ citizen to the US Government again hits a road block as NZ Privacy Commissioner rejects this second request, as he ruled this earlier this year in another ruling last April 2017; http://insitemagazine.co.nz/2017/04/06/privacy-commissioner-rejects-plans-to-collect-clients-data/

John Edwards: taking a stand for privacy in the US Supreme Court
A landmark US Supreme Court case against a US citizen accused of drug trafficking has caught the eye of New Zealand’ privacy commissioner, and prompted him to take a stand against the United States. The citizen has private data stored in an Irish data centre owned by Microsoft, and rather than ask Ireland to voluntarily hand over the information , the US wants to seize it under US search warrant laws.
US government lawyers made a request in the US Court of Appeal, were knocked back, and they’ve now appealed that decision to the Supreme Court.
The New Zealand privacy commissioner, John Edwards is worried about the global implications of such a case, and he’s made a voluntary submission on to the US Supreme Court.
That Privacy Commissioner John Edwards should perhaps better start doing his work here at his own Office in New Zealand, not endlessly fobbing people off who file genuine privacy breach complaints.
But he seems to work closely together with the Ombudsmen, to minimise complaints they have to deal with:

This is total BS, John Edwards shooting around with smart academic legal arguments about international privacy law issues, while he lets his staff display a dim view of concerns by New Zealanders raised in their own country. I wish he would be replaced soon, with someone who takes his or her job more seriously!
