"Peters' comments to Green MP 'inappropriate attention-seeking', Luxon says"

Just so we are all clear the #NZPol Speaker has just declared the current NZ Coalition of Corruption is more than happy for RACISM to be used as a legitimate response to opposition members they disagree with in Parliament.

I assume Luxon, who ruled out Nash for his sexist comments, has ruled out NZ1st as a coalition partner due to Peter's RACIST comments and immediately fired Winston as foreign affairs minister?
OR is racism OK with Luxon?

" “From relaxing the dress standards in our House to now having utter disorder and the worst of offensive words uttered in question time – no matter which side of opinion you’re on – and with no reaction or repercussion. How should we politicians expect the people of New Zealand to view us all now?” - Winston Peters 15th May 2026

CW: Medical Council NZPol
Simeon Brown has appointed Roderick Mulgan, former chairperson of the Free Speech Union, who remains a board member of the FSU and Dr Manoja Kalupahana, a well known RW troll from X (twitter) under the anonymous username MomoStJohn with a horrific record of targeting transgender people, home birthing mothers, Māori health initiatives and has had serious complaints made about her conduct as a doctor to the medical disciplinary committee.
In May 2025, Mulgan and Kalupahana met with Brown in Auckland as part of a FSU delegation to discuss concerns about freedom of speech and conscience rights in healthcare, including cases involving doctors facing disciplinary action.
The group argues health regulators have moved beyond their role by requiring practitioners to engage with particular views on issues such as Māori health inequities, colonisation and gender.
It also appears there’s been a government takedown order made to Google to block any search regarding Dr Manoja Kalupahana’s controversial comments, the weird thing is the request was made in Latvia May 2026.

I'd like to think that a requirement to become Minister of Foreign Affairs would be "don't be openly racist", but clearly I am just a simpleton, not ready for the intricacies of international diplomacy.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of New Zealand (!) is out there (again) making racist remarks. This time against China, Aotearoa's most important trading partner.
I am no diplomat but, is this good and normal?

Complained to the ombudsman because the Ministers for Energy are playing musical chairs instead of responding to my OIA request.

Open and free to all: Just as the RBNZ's rate hike deepens the scars of youth joblessness, the Govt will remove benefits of 4,700 jobless teenagers, including 1,885 with mental health issues & some being treated for cancer #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...

CW: NZPol Gender
"There’s also a double standard, says Hyde, in what other public submissions have been permitted to include. “If this was a disability bill, would they still turn around and say ‘we’re going to exclude all the parents who have written about their disabled child?’.” The Spinoff has seen published submissions on the recent disability support services bill which make mention of third parties and their lived experience – including children.”

The ever dishonest ideologue Simeon Brown just appointed four replacements on Medical Council. Includes 2 from so-called Free Speech Union. Minimal press release, unlike other public appointment announcements there are no biographies of any of the appointees. What is he trying to hide. #NZPol #PublicHealth #Sleeze

CW: NZPol - National rewards its donors
Talk about jobs for the boys! Luxon's government has handed their pet real estate company Bayleys $2.4m in the past nine months for disposing of 941 state houses.
In an uncanny coincidence, Bayleys just happens to be one of the National Party's biggest donors. And Pharmac Chair Paulya Benefit is a director of Bayleys, but insists that she had nothing to do with it.
Yeah, right.

I just sent this email to the #NZPol speaker:
Kia Ora Mr Speaker,
I am writing in response to the unbelievably disgraceful behaviour from NZ First leader and former deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters during Question Time today, Wednesday 29 July 2026, which appeared to be treated without response from the Speaker.
I am truly disappointed by the horrific display of outright racism and prejudice being allowed to be spoken in the House that, in my opinion, has brought NZ Parliament into disrepute.
There are 279,039 New Zealanders of Chinese descent living in New Zealand according to 2023 NZ census with 71.1% of these Chinese New Zealanders born outside of the country.
This group makes up approximately 5.3% of New Zealand's total population and deserve to have a government that treats them as equal New Zealanders.
I would like you to bring some dignity and morality back to parliament by not only demanding an apology from Mr Peters to Dr. Lawrence Xu-Nan but Mr Peters also be referred to the privileges committee.
Thank you for considering my request.

NZ political choices display the classic left/right divide.
The left believes that educating all children to a decent level is good for the whole country. That providing cheap and efficient transportation is good for the functioning of our cities. That universal health care leading to a fit and healthy population will be good for the whole country. That promoting cheap and renewable power for all will be good for the whole country. That preserving wildlife, recreational areas and public spaces will be good for the whole country.
"Good" in that it will make us happier, more productive, less stressed, reducing the burdens of crime and mental health.
The right do not value these things because their principal concern lies in providing and maintaining privileges for themselves, and in ensuring that there are always options for the wealthy that are not available to the rest of us.

If I was being generous I would blame dementia for Winston's erratic unhinged behaivour however the fact he's still not been disciplined by the coward in chief Chris Luxon tells me this appalling racism and immoral behaivour is acceptable to the #NZPol Prime Minister.
And who the hell is the #NZFirst goon sitting behind Winston Peters laughing, he needs to be thrown out of parliament too.
