A Selection of the Lies/Deceit of Jacinda Ardern

The vaccine we are using in New Zealand is safe and effective”. As this book has shown, this is not so.

“Not only will there be no forced vaccinations, but those who choose to opt out won’t face any penalties at all”. This was proved to be a lie by her own words a month later when she said on 22nd October, 2021, “Anyone who is not vaccinated right now will not be able to enjoy the freedoms of other New Zealanders”.

During a protest against the vaccine at Wanganui on 3rd November, 2021, Ardern denied that the government had “flip-flopped” on its promise not to mandate vaccinations when it had already mandated them for border workers, health workers and teachers.

“We will continue to be your single source of truth.” This would have to be her biggest lie to date as the contents of this book amply show.

There is no mandate around children being vaccinated – it is up to a parent or caregiver”. No, it’s not as 12 to 18 year olds were being vaccinated at school without their parents’ consent.

When it was announced in January, 2022, that New Zealand’s cost of living had had its biggest annual jump in three decades the ACT leader, David Seymour, said, “The government’s relentless borrowing and spending has also added to the cost of just about everything. Locking the economy down and borrowing $50 billion so far has left us with a mountain of debt and rising prices”. This statement was supported by the economist and former Governor of the Reserve Bank, Doctor Don Brash, who wrote, “No single factor explains the rise in inflation but the scale of the Government’s borrowing is certainly one contributing factor”. As Newshub reported, Ardern who, unlike Seymour and Brash, knows little, if anything about economics, “absolutely refutes claims that the Government’s billions of spending on Covid led to record inflation”. Not so.

On Election Night, 2020, Ardern promised, “We will be a party that governs for every New Zealander”. Instead, she has caved in to the bullying demands of her “Maori caucus” to pass large public resources to the tribal elite and grant more and more special, race-based rights to “part-Maoris”. This is not governing “for every New Zealander” but for the few with a bit of bullying power. Nor is her removal of ordinary freedoms and long held basic rights from those who choose not to have the Covid jab “governing for every New Zealander”.

At the same time she promised that her government would be “the most honest, most transparent government that New Zealand has ever had”. So why is she implementing the He
Puapua Report under the radar and having it discussed by her officials only on marae and not at this stage in public?

This government will….strengthen transparency around official information”. In the words of senior journalist, Andrea Vance, “Since then the number of faceless communications specialists has skyrocketed. The Government’s iron grip on the control of information has tightened. And it is harder than ever to get information. In my twenty years as a journalist this Government is one of the most thin-skinned and secretive I have ever experienced. Many of my colleagues say the same…..
At every level the Government manipulates the flow of information.”

The Treaty of Waitangi was a “partnership between the Crown and Maori”. No, it wasn’t. It was a full cession of sovereignty by the chiefs (Article 1) in return for granting all the people of New Zealand full rights as British subjects (Article 3). When Ardern was asked by a journalist to state what the three short, simple articles of the Treaty said, she was unable to do so.

At the 2020 Election Ardern and her Labour Party promised that “Labour will ensure that the major decisions about local democracy involve full participation of the local population from the outset”. Shorty after being elected to government Ardern allowed her Minister of Local Government (some would say her puppet-master). Nanaia Mahuta, to remove the right of ratepayers to call for a poll of local people whenever a council should go down the road of apartheid by voting for one or more race-based “Maori wards” in a municipality.

We are one”, screamed Ardern in the wake of the mosques massacre as she pranced around in front of the cameras wearing an Islamic veil, the centuries old symbol of the suppression of women in Islam.

She knew that this was a lie because, at the very time she was uttering it, her government was trying to promote a racist piece of legislation, the Canterbury Regional Council (Ngai Tahu) Representation Bill, to enable this small private tribe to have two permanent seats on the otherwise democratically elected Canterbury Regional Council.

To burnish the racist credentials of her government even further, Ardern’s Budget of May, 2019, handed over $593 million of taxpayers’ money to specific race-based programmes that support not the poor and needy but people purely on the basis of their race, including $42 million for “Maori” students in education, $27.4 million for students of Pacific Island blood and their families, $98 million for “Kaupapa Maori”, $11 million to boost the Pacific Business Trust, and $12 million for rheumatic fever programmes purely for Maori and Pacific Island children. What about other children?

To compound her racism, hypocrisy and deceit she said in Christchurch on 20th March, 2019, “Let New Zealand be a place where there is no tolerance of racism”. With her usual contempt for the intelligence of New Zealanders she was brazenly saying one thing and doing the exact opposite.

In 2021 she misled local councils by telling them that the Government’s proposed theft of council owned water assets in the form of “Three Waters” would be “voluntary” when the decision to make it compulsory had already been made, according to a document dated July, 2021. She compounded her dishonesty by then denying that she had misled the councils.

I haven’t seen evidence of the kinds of issues [China’s interference in Australian politics] in Australia here in New Zealand” or that “foreign nations [read: China] had any undue influence in New Zealand”. Is she blind, crooked or stupid? What about all the six figure donations to the National Party by China Inc., the commercial arm of China’s dictatorship, ($180,000 from Oravida, $63,500 from China based Xiao Miao Fan, $150,000 from Gao Wei through his Alpha Group Holdings, $35,000 from Che Weixing (a.k.a. Christine Chee) and to Phil Goff’s first campaign for the Auckland mayoralty when the bulk of his funding ($416,115) came from China Inc, including $50,000 from Fu Wah International, the Peking based company building the $200 million Park Hyatt Hotel in Auckland which was about to seek building consents from Auckland Council for around $500 million of property development. These are evidence of China, New Zealand’s only potential enemy, interfering in our politics of which Ardern has seen nothing.

I haven’t read the He Puapua Report”. Well, you wouldn’t see it if you instructed your officials not to show it to you. How can such an important document, the biggest proposed change to our constitutional arrangements since 1840 as it proposes the destruction of our unitary system of government and its replacement by a new, apartheid like structure in which the tribal elite will have the whip hand over all other New Zealanders, not be seen by the Prime Minister unless she instructed them not to show it to her?

I’ve given you my word. You will not have a capital gains tax under a Labour led government that I lead,” she said during the party leaders’ debate before the 2020 Election” A few months later her government forced parliament into urgency to ram through a doubling of the “bright-line test”, doubling the length of time that investors have to hold a property in order to avoid paying tax on its capital gain when they sell. This was simply a capital gains tax by another name.

My primary goal is to manage Covid with as few restrictions on our daily lives as possible…and to accelerate our economic recovery”. Her actions belie her words – as shown throughout the book. “All of us actually want to move on [and return to normal]; we’re putting ourselves in the best possible position to do that”. So, why continue the colour “red” on the traffic light system, why persist with mandates and vaccine passes when they are unnecessary since with Omicron the fully vaccinated
are just as likely to contract the virus as the unvaccinated – as the Government’s own figures show (See page 157).

Christopher Luxon: ” Ardern leads the most divisive government in recent times”.

Ardern: “I totally disagree with that“.

THE NATIONAL PARTY AND ITS “PRINCIPLES”

One would have thought that any political party with any pride or integrity would not be averse to publishing its founding principles. Not so the National Party of New Zealand since so many of its current policies are in violation of its founding principles. 

Like the three Articles of the Treaty of Waitangi the founding principles of the National Party are both clear and simple: To promote good citizenship and self-reliance; to combat communism and socialism; to maintain freedom of contract; to encourage private enterprise; to safeguard individual rights and the privilege of ownership; to oppose interference by the State in business and State control of industry”.

However, don’t go looking for these principles on the current National Party website as they are not to be found there. Instead, they have been replaced by a whole lot of wishy-washy phrases that might just as well have come from their fellow socialist party, Labour. Rather than combatting socialism they have embraced it by their policies of high taxation to support rampant welfare.

One of their four “core values” on their current website is “equal opportunity for all” and yet ever since the disastrous premierships of Jim Bolger, John Key and Mr. Key’s shadow, Bill English, they have blatantly violated this “core value” by splashing special rights and privileges on one ethnic section of society, viz. part-Maoris. This expression is used deliberately and in the interests of accuracy since there are no ethnic Maoris in existence. They are extinct since over the generations since colonisation Maoris have preferred to breed with Europeans rather than with each other. The last full-blooded Maori died in the 1950s and to-day there are not even any half-bloods. All those “Maoris” claiming special rights for “Maori” are, in fact, Europeans with some Maori blood in them – people like the multi-millionaire Irish New Zealander, Stephen (alias “Tipene”) O’Regan who is only one-sixteenth “Maori” while his daughter, Hannah (or “Hana”), who has also been on the Maori gravy train, is only one thirty-second “Maori” – less than 4%.

Here are some examples of how the National Party has honoured its “core value” of “equal opportunity for all” New Zealanders. The 1991 Resource Management Act forces local authorities to have an agreement with their local part-Maoris to co-govern with the democratically elected local authority. These part-Maoris have been made “official guardians” of the country’s natural resources which used to belong to us all and should still do so. The Act made Maori land exempt from the subdivision restrictions that are imposed on the rest of us. It also gave the tribes special rights to geothermal waters – which used to belong to every New Zealander and should still do so. Not surprisingly the part-Maoris who have wormed their way on to these committees have wielded their new powers against white property owners at every opportunity. 

Their trick is to claim sites of “special cultural significance” on people’s private land even though such site might just be an old rubbish dump where these Stone Age people threw their old fish bones. Then, to do any work on your own land – e.g. erect a carport – you must get a “Cultural Impact Assessment” done (cost: $4,000, with bigger sums demanded for commercial properties). This is just a gift to some part-Maori opportunist masquerading as some sort of cultural “expert”. Then, to gain consent, one might have to negotiate with up to eighteen different tribes, all with their hands out in one way or another. At least 3,661 such sites have been marked in Auckland. (For more on this, see Peter Cresswell’s chapter, “Property, Plunder, Planning – and Auckland’s Taniwha Tax” in the Tross Publishing book, “One Treaty; One Nation”).

In 1992 The Treaty of Waitangi (Fisheries Claims) Act gave part-Maoris special food gathering rights in rivers, etc. even though so many of them eat at McDonalds.

The next year came the Biosecurity Act. Requiring the Minister to consult with local part-Maoris when making biosecurity plans even though these people know next to nothing about biosecurity and do not have a broad, national viewpoint such as is required for such matters. The year after that came the Maritime Transport Act requiring that, in the event of a marine oil spill, local part-Maoris must be consulted on contingency plans. Why? What would they know about oil?

In 1998 came one of the worst instances of violating the principle of “equal opportunity for all” when the Ngai Tahu Claims Settlement Act barred the public from various former public fishing spots in the South Island at various times of the year so that only the pale-faced part-Maoris of the O’Regans’ tribe could fish there. 

In violation of the principle of accountable democracy the National government, under the malign influence of Christopher Finlayson, created “co-governance” of the Waikato River, the Waipa River and the Kaituna River, thus creating the precedents for more of the democracy sapping and racist principle of “co-governance” – e.g. the Hawkes Bay Regional Planning Committee Act of 2015.

The greatest theft of all – the largest theft of public rights and resources in New Zealand history – was the notorious Marine and Coastal Area Act. This thieving and racist statute granted special rights over the beaches and coast of New Zealand to groups of part-Maoris, including their right to exclude the public from certain parts of the coast that have been publicly accessible ever since the fortunate establishment of British rule in 1840. 

By various Acts passed in 2015 (Ngai Takoto Claims Settlement Act, Te Aupouri Claims Settlement Act and Te Rarawa Claims Settlement Act) part-Maoris were given rights over Conservation land that were not available to other New Zealanders. 

The salient fact about all these legislative privileges for one particular ethnic group at the expense of the rest of us is that they were all made by National governments. Admittedly Labour governments have not been any better but these examples show how utterly dishonest and corrupt the National Party has been and still is in asking for votes on the basis of its “core values” when at the first whiff of grapeshot it runs like a frightened rat and ditches its professed “principles” or “core values” along the way.

The truth is that the ACT Party and NZ First are closer to National’s founding principles than the National Party itself. It seems to have only one principle and that is to stay in office in betrayal of the purpose for which it was founded in the 1930s. It is not opposed to socialism, one of its most important founding principles, and it has lied to the public for far too long. Such a party can only be described as a fraud.
