The dangers of a second National/ACT/NZF term
Last election I was warning voters that they were allowing their post-Covid bitterness towards Jacinda to vote in ACT, NZF and National without appreciating how extreme their policy for donors mentality would be.
You can’t pretend to not know how extreme their platform has been nor what they are planning if they win a second term.
If National + ACT + NZF are the majority it will be an even weaker National Party with far more dominant ACT and NZF so expect their second term to be far more dangerous and damaging than their first term
You didn’t believe me about what a National/ACT/NZF Government would do in 2023, here’s what they will do if they win a second term in 2026.
- MASS STATE ASSET SELL OFF: They are already lining up to sell everything that isn’t locked down. They underfund a public service until you scream about how poor the service is and then they suggest privatisation as the solution.
- 60% SELL OFF OF CONSERVATION LAND: They have kicked the current plans to sell off 60% of conservation land to touch and will revise it after the election.
- CORPORATE CAPITULATION OF OUR DEMOCRACY: The Regulatory Standards Bill will remain and not be scrapped, it will allow the Taxpayers’ Union inside Parliament to scrutinise all legislation to ensure corporate property rights are put above human rights. Watch for Atlas Network and TU adjacent appointments.
- TOUGH ON CRIME PRISON EXPLOSION: The prison population is set to jump built on arresting the Homeless, burglars and shoplifters.
- MORE MINING AT EXPENSE OF CLIMATE: Shane Jones already has made some secret deal with Trump over our rare earth minerals and his championing of the dirtiest, cheapest mining where we get bugger all royalties has been turned into a culture war where Shane screams ‘woke’ at any environmental protections. There will be nothing Shane doesn’t mine if National, ACT and NZF are returned. Let’s not forget he also wants the Fast Track Power back!
- TOTAL CAPITULATION TO ISRAEL: ACT are the biggest Zionist apologists in the Government, if National, ACT and NZF are returned expect open deals between the Government and Israeli business plus more IDF war criminals holidaying here.
- MORE COWS AT EXPENSE OF CLIMATE: Whatever the climate change question is, National’s solution is always “More Cows”. Expect even MORE cows if National, ACT and NZF win a second term.
- LOWERING WATER STANDARDS: Because there will be more cows, they will need to lower the water standards again. 1 Cow – 14 people pissing and shitting into the water ways. We have 8.4million cows in NZ, that’s the equivalence of 117million people pissing and shitting into our water ways every single year.
- PRIVATE PRISONS: The only way the Government will be able to cover the costs of the rapidly rising Prison population is by Privatising Prisons. Expect ACT to make the argument.
- PULLING OUT OF WHO AND UN: Winston has gone full cooker on the UN because the conspiracy swamp he fishes in for votes believe the WHO is a shadowy one world Government run by a cabal of satanic child sex abusers. He will actually attempt it to keep his conspiracy theory nutters happy.
- TRUMP UBER ALLES: The total capitulation to Trump by this Government shames all our collective mana. If National, ACT and NZF are reelected, it will be Trump uber Alles.
- MORE RACE FRICTION: ACT have promised to bring back the Treaty Principles Referendum and Winston has announced a referendum on the Māori Electorates.
- DOMESTIC HOUSING MARKET OPENED TO FOREIGN SPECULATORS: They have vandalised the economy so badly and are desperate for any economic activity that they will open the domestic real estate market to more foreign speculation. Currently they are allowing foreigners to buy $5 million mansions, but that will drop the moment they are re-elected to $2million as they attempt to restart the property speculation market.
- FISHING AMENDMENTS BILL: Shane Jones will allow the Fisjing Industry to fuck over recreational fishing community.
- MORE HYPER TOURISM: They don’t care about the environment, they care about what their donors want to do to the environment and they will open NZ to hordes of hyper tourism gridlocking our infrastructure again.
- VAST JUMP IN HOMELESSNESS, POVERTY + INEQUALITY: We are already seeing the ramifications of their brutality towards the homeless, beneficiaries and the poor. Expect these numbers to soar under a second term of National, ACT and NZF.
- BANNING 700 000 PERMANENT RESIDENTS FROM VOTIING: NZ First want to strip permanent residents from voting which would set in motion huge levels of civil unrest.
…I told you at the 2023 election National, ACT and NZF would create a toxic mix of policies, you didn’t believe me, well you are all being forced to drink it now.
Don’t pretend your voting them again in 2026 will achieve anything positive.
This election is Old Zealand vs New Zealand. If National, ACT and NZF get re-elected they will cement into place their 19th Century White Settler privilege.

If this lot get in again, I think a woman’s right to abortion will be gone
Read this book by The Guardian writer George Monbiot titled ‘The Invisible Doctrine’. The secret history of Neoliberalism’ ( penguin books )
But hang on a minute. The charade that’s our politics isn’t that. It isn’t a politic at all. It’s neoliberalism. And neoliberalism is a cloudy form of fascism wearing lip stick, high heels and fish net stockings. We don’t actually have a politic. We just have rich psycho-fascists reaching into our pockets and helping themselves and ‘they’ , the ‘them’s, have been doing exactly that for over forty years now. I mean for Christs sake wake the fuck up !
After Luxon’s lastest gaffe, I don’t believe that National actually WANT to go in. They are playing it like a game they are happy to lose and this would be because they know how badly they have ‘stuffed up’ and have nothing else, or no one else, of any significance or value in their ranks! They will crawl away, lick their wounds, and if they have any business acumen they will get rid of the dead wood, reset to a more modern and intelligent bunch and hope the voters give them another chance in the ‘distant’ future! If not they will disappear off the policitcal spectrum. As for NZF – it’s the end of the road, and ACT’s Seymour will go overseas for a cushy job with Atlas! End of an ugly, vile era!
The most critical election in a long long….The current lot are not only corrupt…have warped short term thinking ideologies….but are fundamentally stupid…way in over their heads….
Look no further than the absolute Nikki- No-Boats Willis’s ferry debacle clusterfuck which is going to dog N.Z. for decades to come.
Look no further than Mr.Bean Seymours’ school lunch demolition job fiasco… what a shambles…couldn’t organise a pissup in brewery.
Look no further than Luxon flicking houses for 100s of 1000s of dollars of tax free profits off the back of insider
knowledge.
If you want long term pain off the back of stupidity, greed, lack of foresight and ignorance…then vote National, ACT or N.Z First….Good luck!!…You’re going to need it.
Non-citizen voters all vote Left. This is why all the other countries do not allow non-citizens to vote in their general elections. The sheer number of foreign voters means the the Left can never lose.
Simply incorrect. Many non-citizen voters come from countries that are extremely conservative, and lean right.
As a Green party voter, Id be only too happy for non-citizens to be removed from the voting pool. I think Martyn is potentially overstating the effect of citizens rioting against non-citizens not being allow to vote.
NZ citizens cannot vote in many countries around the world. And in fact, of the 7 countries that allow non-citizens to vote, they have extremely long residency requirements before voting rights are granted. Eg, reside in the country for five years, with no border crossings in that period. Compared to NZs one year timeframe.
Stop making up bullshit Castro
