We should utterly reject NZF’s racist gumboot fascism
Winston started a diplomatic fight with our largest trading partner just to justify being racist to Lawrence Xu-nan for Christ’s sake!
We should utterly reject NZF’s racist gumboot fascism!
The cultural friction of mass immigration has been allowed because cheap immigration is a lazy way to expand GDP by politicians who show little concern for.
Take NZ.
National, ACT and NZF have over the last year let in 140,500 new mostly-young workers, predominantly from India, China, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Fiji and South Africa, while 201 Kiwis flee the country EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Both Labour and National over the last 3 decades have used mass immigration as a lazy GDP bump rather than invest in us as a people to expand our own population base.
Like everything, all Parties have allowed the free market to work it out rather than protect our own people AND migrant workers from being exploited!
Auckland has ground to a gridlocked stand still because it’s size has grown by 17% without any of the extra revenue to pay for that growth!
At some point we are going to have to have a serious conversation about mass immigration and how it is placing unsustainable pressure on the country!
You can’t bring that huge number of people into NZ each and every single year without there being intense cultural, political and social friction.
We need to put New Zealand values first, not Winston First
What a Progressive, Fair Immigration Policy Could Look Like
Here are some ideas:
- We have to incentivise Kiwis into lifting their fertility rates and heavily subsidise childcare and maternity leave – we need us having more kids to keep up with the population requirements so we don’t need to keep importing so many people.
- Lift our refugee numbers with wrap around services – we have an obligation as a Liberal Progressive Democracy to provide haven for those being damaged on a warring planet.
- Ensure every single migrant worker coming into NZ are automatically enrolled in a migrant Union to ensure they are being paid the same as domestic workers so bosses can’t use
- Bonded education – pay the fees and provide a living allowance plus cheap accomodation to all domestic Kiwis training to be teachers, drs, nurses, and all other public service roles and jobs – they get the education for free in return for 5 years bonded service in NZ.
Allowing the free market to simply push out anyone with skills to bring in cheaper work forces for exploitation IS NOT AN IMMIGRATION POLICY!

Climate Migration and the Future of Democratic Responsibility
As the planet burns, these trends are are only going to become more extreme, we will start seeing vast numbers of climate refugees fleeing parts of the planet that become increasingly inhospitable, so we need a plan to cope with that while holding onto the Anglo-Saxon and Te Ao Māori values that make our Democracy so attractive in the first place.
Those values don’t have a skin colour, they are universal, we welcome our migrant brothers and sisters because the values we stand for recognise the importance of the individual, but we also need to recognise the pressures generated by mass immigration when we are economically played off against each other.
Protecting our migrant communities from exploitation strengthens us all and a multi-cultural society built upon the biculturalism of the Treaty is a strength, not a weakness.

We are stronger for multiculturalism, not weakened by it!
Winston isn’t arguing for NZ Democracy, he is arguing for majoritarianism which is 2 wolves and a lamb voting on who to eat for lunch.
He is scapegoating the other and he is demonising them.
He wants to lift up the Māori Electorate ladder after he has used it, how very Boomer of him.
He is older than the state of modern Israel and has been kingmaker 4 times, how has he left NZ better?
He hasn’t!

My two cents… we need a complete halt on all immigration outside of ultra essential workers we don’t have until this country can provide for everyone who is already here. At the very minimum, we should only import those from cultures compatible with NZ values. You only need to look at Europe and especially the UK right now to see what could and eventually will happen here. And then, dear readers, we’ll see a REAL far right response.
Shane probably doesn’t worry so much about immigration when he is feeling like a dinner of chicken fried rice from Mr Chang’s.
A progressive, fair immigration policy would include the deportation of migrant employers who exploit migrant employee’s.
