Last year Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was the guest speaker at a private gathering in New York hosted by Bill and Melinda Gates.
She told the audience that under her administration New Zealand had taken a lead and embedded the United Nations Agenda 2030 into our legal and regulatory framework:
“…my Government is doing something not many other countries have tried. We have incorporated the principles of the 2030 Agenda into our domestic policy-making in a way that we hope will drive system-level actions… I believe that the change in approach that we have adopted in New Zealand is needed at a global scale…”
The event was arranged by Goalkeepers, an organisation set up by the Gates Foundation in 2017 to accelerate progress towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN’s Agenda 2030.
In her glowing introduction of Jacinda Ardern, Melinda Gates told the audience that our Prime Minister “has released an international human rights plan in which New Zealand promises to take the lead on, among other things, gender equality and women and girls’ empowerment.”
She described our PM as “a true international leader who understands that the future of the world depends on eliminating inequality.”
It’s a shame Jacinda Ardern was not so upfront with New Zealanders when she decided to take the country down this experimental Agenda 2030 path. Most Kiwis would be completely unaware that not only have we adopted UN doctrine, but we are also apparently leading the world in gender equality and women and girls’ empowerment.
While the Ardern Government has not hidden the fact that it is committed to implementing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, they most certainly have not been open and transparent about the agenda that underpins those goals – nor the policy implications of “eliminating inequality”.
Agenda 2030 featured in the 2017 Confidence and Supply Agreement between the Labour Party and the Greens – although not by name. Instead, the parties made a commitment to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that underpin Agenda 2030:
“The Green Party supports a transformative Government which implements the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In this parliamentary term, the Green Party has a number of priorities to progress the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The Labour-led Government shares and will support these priorities.”
And that is the path the Labour-led Government has taken the country over the last three years.
While this has led to Jacinda Ardern becoming the poster child for Agenda 2030 – the UN’s blueprint for modern socialism – New Zealanders have remained largely unaware that we are being used as a guinea pig in an international socialist experiment.
In a speech to the International Conference on Sustainable Development in New York in 2018, the Prime Minister signalled her intention to lead the world by fully incorporating the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into domestic affairs: “we have decided to try something no other country has done before and embed indicators like the SDGs into everything we do”.
She said her Government would no longer rely on traditional measures of progress such as ‘economic growth’, but would instead introduce new experimental indicators: “…we are establishing brand new measures of national achievement that go beyond growth… We have created a tool called the Living Standards Framework. It puts the notion of sustainable intergenerational wellbeing at the centre of the different decision making processes we have – policy advice, government expenditure and long term management of our assets.
“Our Statistics department is working on an ambitious project called Indicators Aotearoa New Zealand that aims to create a comprehensive set of indicators across the different dimensions of the current and future wellbeing of New Zealanders; economic, cultural, social and environmental.
“These new tools will help us deliver, and monitor the delivery of goals like the SDGs. Our first test of this new approach will be early next year. That’s when we will deliver our first budget using these new measures, and new approach. We’ve called it the well-being budget, and it will unashamedly look to invest in generational change…”
Just before the 2019 ‘wellbeing’ Budget was delivered, the Prime Minister explained to a Business New Zealand audience what the Government’s new approach entailed: “while economic growth is important – and something we will continue to pursue – it alone does not guarantee improvements to New Zealanders’ living standards… My hope is that this year, with the new Wellbeing Budget, you’ll see us setting a strong foundation for both our country and our people.”
The mainstream media doesn’t appear to have made much of Jacinda Ardern’s commitment to Agenda 2030, but that’s not surprising given their lack of balance.
This week’s NZCPR Guest Commentator Dr Oliver Hartwich, the Chief Executive of the New Zealand Initiative, describes how difficult it is becoming in this country to speak out openly – especially against the government:
“Our small population size has fostered a social conformity that makes it hard to speak one’s mind. With two-degrees-of-separation, you cannot afford to burn bridges.
“Most of us no longer dare question if it is grounded in reality and anyone who does is called unpatriotic and petty. So, at the risk of being torn to pieces, let me do it anyway.”
Dr Hartwich is especially critical of policy failures relating to housing. As he says, if there is one thing New Zealand is not short of it is space for building houses. Yet the high cost of sections in New Zealand, combined with overly bureaucratic planning laws and excessive building regulations, have led to a housing market that is “the most expensive in the developed world”.
The lack of affordable housing has become such a scandal over the years, that successive governments have prioritised fixing it. But to little avail, so entrenched is the ideological framework that created the problem in the first place.
The housing crisis has its roots in the forerunner of Agenda 2030, the United Nations’ Agenda 21, which for over 20 years, heavily influenced private property rights in New Zealand. ‘Smart growth’ policies designed to prevent ‘urban sprawl’ have been imposed by council planners up and down the country, resulting in a severe shortage of land for housing. The effect is plain to see – higher section prices that have contributed to the current housing affordability crisis.
Agenda 21, with origins dating back to the first Earth Summit in Sweden in 1972, was established by the United Nations in 1992. Based on the notion that humans are destroying the planet, it seeks to control our lives using the benign-sounding but far reaching policy mechanism of “sustainable development” – meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising those of future generations.
In 2015, when the UN updated Agenda 21 to Agenda 2030, they highlighted 17 sustainable development goals to control every aspect of our lives. From an end to poverty, to the intensification of cities, and the elimination of inequality, the UN has mapped it all out.
The following summary of the Agenda 2030 goals from the UN website doesn’t do justice to the complexity of the restrictions being proposed – full details can be found HERE:
– Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms
– Goal 2. End hunger and promote sustainable agriculture
– Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages
– Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education
– Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
– Goal 6. Ensure sustainable management of water and sanitation
– Goal 7. Ensure access to sustainable energy
– Goal 8. Promote sustainable economic growth and decent work for all
– Goal 9. Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization
– Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
– Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements sustainable
– Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
– Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change
– Goal 14. Sustainably use the oceans
– Goal 15. Promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and halt biodiversity loss
– Goal 16. Promote inclusive societies and institutions for sustainable development
– Goal 17. Strengthen the global partnership for sustainable development
The UN’s concept was big and bold – they wanted change that would require all sectors of society to mobilise for a decade of action: “to secure greater leadership, more resources… embedding the needed transitions in the policies, budgets, institutions and regulatory frameworks of governments, cities and local authorities… and people action, including by youth, civil society, the media, the private sector, unions, academia and other stakeholders, to generate an unstoppable movement pushing for the required transformations.”
Central to Agenda 2030, and justifying the need for ‘urgent’ action, is the “climate emergency”. It is being used to claim that humanity is destroying the planet, and to justify more regulation and control. That’s why every wildfire, drought, flood, or storm is touted as ‘evidence’ that a global warming Armageddon is just around the corner – and only avoidable if nations take action to implement the UN’s goals, including a significant redistribution of wealth from rich to poor nations.
In reality, this is the new face of socialism – first, Agenda 21. Now its Agenda 2030. Next it will be “Agenda 2050”. It will never stop because “equality” will never be equal enough for new age socialists like Jacinda Ardern.
While old school socialism pitted the working class against the ruling class – with an underlying premise that the rich were getting richer by exploiting the poor – socialism has now morphed into a struggle for equality. The underlying premise nowadays is that it’s fair to take from those who have, to give to those who have not.
It’s developed into an obsession over wealth equality, instead of the most important principle of all – equality of opportunity.
It’s an issue that is now dividing nations. But the difference between New Zealand and most other counties is that here, there is no open debate. We are being transformed into a socialist state, but without full disclosure by the politicians driving this radical change.
There has been no effective media inquiry about these developments, nor has there been any effective scrutiny from opposition politicians.
As a result, as Dr Hartwich notes, it has become increasingly difficult to freely debate these issues – especially now the media has become so openly biased to the left. In fact it’s a tragedy for our society that the Fourth Estate, that used to stand as a guardian of the truth, has now become part of the problem, with so many in the media crossing the line from critical analysis and reporting facts, into political advocacy.
In light of the present-day scarcity of balanced views, it is indeed ironic that while our access to information has never been easier than it is now, access to the truth has never been harder.
Let’s make no mistake that behind the smiles, sits the most radical socialist government in our history, with a Prime Minister intent on embedding the objectives of the world’s most socialist organisation into our policy and legislative framework.
To fight back, we have to start calling out socialism for what it is – but to call it out we first have to lift the veil and expose what is happening.
Next, we have to decide whether we want to become a socialist society that takes from those who achieve to give to those who don’t – or whether our ambition is for New Zealand to be an opportunity society, where everyone has the chance to better themselves and their families.
In other words, should New Zealand go down the path to socialism based on the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, or should we respect people’s individualism and freedom, and ensure they are given the opportunity to get ahead?
If it is the latter, then we collectively have a lot of standing up and speaking out to do before the next election!

THIS WEEK’S POLL COMMENTS
| Let’s stop pussyfooting around and call it what it is… socialism is just a more palatable word for communism or Marxism. Name me one country where communism has brought anything but sustained misery to its citizens. It’s been said that the only difference between socialism and communism is how you get there : socialism is achieved by voting it in while communism is achieved by force (the means of one is suicide, the means of the other is murder; but the ends of both are the same) What concerns me is that they say you only vote for socialism once – because once they are in they change all the laws and suppress any dissent. NZ voted comrade Jacinda in by a landslide and already commentary has turned to needing longer election cycles. Very worrying indeed. | Jenny |
| equal opportunities are available to all who wish to use them . People need to get up and work for what they want not expect the country to provide. | wendy |
| Absolutely not | Jenny |
| She enters into international deals without consultation with the people | Kebin |
| Who will bother to work hard to excel and do well in life if the “system” is going to steal it and redistribute to those who make little effort and “cruise” through life? The end result of this is that the overall standard of living for all will fall, some much more than others. (Generalising of course). | Roy |
| Get it out on the table for vigorous debate. The media and leading citizens from both left & right need to share the issues so we can understand them – not just Jacinda | Doug |
| Definitely not! | Nina |
| I believe our freedom is being eroded | Loretta |
| Socialism has never worked and never will. We are not dealing with sheep but dealing with intelligent aspirational human beings. | Albert |
| I’m not into communism thank you! | Angela |
| Definitely not I don’t want New Zealand moving further towards becoming a Stalinist state, it is madness in America right now this just highlights what we need to stay away from | Jeffrey |
| NO our Government has deceitfully implemented many changes that are abhorrent for New Zealanders and future generations | Wendy |
| Hell no the UN has no right to impose anything into any sovereign countries laws. | Bazza |
| It will be a disaster! | Cyril |
| Equal opportunity not equality. | Paul |
| I do not support a model of society where the theft would be legal and the hard working citizens and their families would not be entitled to enjoy what they earned by their hard work. | Dave |
| Absolutely NOT !! Commie jacinda is defying ALL New Zealanders to further her own agenda. It is now time someone who has some clout to start a campaign to remove labour and the greens, with a vote of NO CONFIDENT, as the co-election are their only for their own gains. NZ europeans, (whites), are fast becoming the minority race. Maoris are demanding to be the dominate race while only being 14% of the NZ population…time for them to go along with the government. | ROD |
| Unfortunately it’s looking more hopeless for NZ by the day, as the unquestioning hoi polloi swallow everything being fed to them by Ardern | Mark |
| NO.NO.NO. Get rid of this useless lot. Why the hell do we let the U>N. run our country. | dona |
| I support our total withdrawal from the UN. | gary |
| I like many other lemmings ai voted for Ardennes when she became Labour leader believing her that rare beast an honest politician. I am retired and like many Kiwis worked overseas and paid into an overseas government social insurance pension scheme. When I became eligible for NZ Super like many of the 93,000 other Superannuants found my overseas govt pension was used to pay for my government funded Super. There has been government revues of this 1938 law that is in effect a state crime and cash grab off us elderly both condemning it as unfair and discriminatory. Politicians in opposition always promised justice including Ardern talking at the rewrite of the Social Security Act in 2015. She talks about reform and the ending of this injustice here https://youtu.be/mLKOIjsCKhg yet now in power continues the ageist rip off. In 2018 the govt signed the UN Compact for Migration in which Objective 22 calls for the portability of social insurance pensions and which Ardern’s government breaches. She is not a Socialist but a Marxist who believes in the impoverishment of those who have earned and paid for incomes and wealth etc in order to hand it out to those who subscribe to her fantasy notion of the world. She has openly shown she is capable of lying to reach her warped goals in politics and yes, the press suppressed to air anything that might dent those goals. For example the Spousal Part of this awful legislation was dropped on the 9 November, no press coveridge because it is in fact an admission of wrong doing over decades. There is a challenge at the UN Human Rights Committee at present by 36 individuals against this state crime she continues, it will be interesting to see if the UN will protect its star turn against the reality of what happens to us elderly under her rule. | Bob |
| i’ve been against it for years | terry |
| Will they do it without at least a Referendum? I fear so.. | Greg |
| Control in any form is unacceptable. we need to call this out for what it is and to fight for our freedom in any and all ways we can | Carolyn |
| I do not want a bar of socialism | John |
| No way !!!!! The UN is perhaps the most corrupt organisation on our planet. Just look at the climate change bullshit and horrific costs involved. (Poor Africans !!) | Alan |
| The U.N. is a bulldog with no teeth | bill |
| Have alerted the ACT and National parties as they appear not to have heard of socialism, communism? Brilliant quote by Ayn Rand that communism and socialism are the same. I do know how unlucky we are in NZ. | Monica |
| Continued erosion of our freedoms. The thought police want to control everyone. 1984 was a true prophecy! | Duncan |
| The word “sustainable” features in 9 of the 17 aims mentioned. I ask, how is sustainability measured? What New Zealanders need to embrace is personal accountability and responsibility. | Peter |
| No bloody way, it seems Labour and a lot of other seem hell bent on wrecking our country and our way of life. and unfortunately most people go along with her. | Fraser |
| This is the first hint of the changes that are being foisted onto us as a country and what a lot of waffle. Some of the ideas have some merit but expressed in ‘pie in the sky ideals’. The 17 aims which begin with, end this and end that, ensure this and promote that have no planning or solutions as to how they will be achieved. One thing is for sure, that it will cost an enormous amount of money, which we do not have so more will be borrowed and the country will swing closer to bankruptcy. Maoris will of course enthusiastically support these ideas but of course only on the understanding that they control everything including where the money is spent. They will of course still agitate for their fourth or fifth Full and Final settlement. The United Nations was formed to promote peace after World War two. It is only partially successful in achieving that aim and many of the large country members no longer contribute to the upkeep and running of its programmes. This whole nonsense comes about due to Adern’s Self Aggrandizement urge on the World stage. She was trained by Helen Clark on that line and is now determined to outdo her. | Chris |
| No, No. No. What a dangerous path we are on. We are all just puppets on a string for idealists to tweak at will. | Fiona |
| ANOTHER communist bad idea. | Chris |
| I totally resent the notion that I should hand over any of the wealth I have created through sheer hard work and risk taking, putting the financial future of my family on the line, to those lazy buggers who weren’t prepared to get off their chuffs and commit to creating value through their own efforts. I despise socialists who think they are entitled to the fruits of the endeavours of others who put in the hard yards. I am incensed that this move by Adern was carried out by stealth and not openly canvassed amongst the population at large. | Kerry |
| No. This is simply the first step on our way to Communism with complete control by the Government. Are Communist countries’ population equal in all respects ?- NO WAY – Look how Russia is now acting after Communism collapsed, and do we really want the level of inequality that exists now in China? Their poor makes ours look like the rich in comparison and they really have no way to change it with the current political set-up and a Dictator who voted himself in for life. | Garry |
| I can see what they are driving at, but I am unable to identify an alternative, other than to proceed with the current status, which doesn’t seem to be successful at all. For instance, Where is the quoted “equality of opportunity” | Mike |
| How can we patriotic about New Zealand when we are being ruled by socialism that takes away US and our rights. My poor grandchildren. | Diana |
| On environmental matters, there is no arrangement under which we agree to delegate our environmental policy to the unelected United Nations, so there’s no need to follow the agenda set out in Agenda 2030. We can resolve what is best for us. | Richard |
| One step closer to being controlled by the world communist movement led by China. | Steve |
| Most definitely not. This is having direct implications for us as property owners, as part of our land has been designated a significant natural area and our rights over that part of our property have been cancelled. | Ingrid |
| Very angry about the situation | Sandy |
| Definitely NOT. Enough erosion of living standards in this country by the current shower of crap politicians we have claiming to their illusion of managing the country, but in reality…. straight out of Disney land !! | David |
| Bloody robbers | Neil |
| Not enough people are aware of what this commo Cindy is doing to New Zealand behind our backs so for christ sake Kiwis wake up before she takes you all to her commo mates | Eric |
| With Agenda 21 and now Agenda 30 the writing has been on the wall for over 30 years. Muriel , your commentary is clear and explicit and needs publicising to all New Zealanders. The question is ‘will it receive a fair hearing ! Well done | peter |
| A recipe for disaster. | Michael |
| Socialist government in action again | Ross |
| Absolutely not. The UN is an organisation that has lost it way big time. | David |
| It’s a takeover of our democracy. Something needs to be done against the one sided media support of a false narrative based on untrue facts and a false political agenda with an apparent interest to lead the country into better days. | Franka |
| This would eventually destroy our hard-won democratic freedoms | Harry |
| It is immensely sad that our own people, under the guise of responsible leadership, are selling this nation out. It is patently obvious that this Government are pursuing a track towards a communist style, single world Government. Whether the climate ‘continues’, in so-called negative change, will matter little then; most of the Free world freedom that we rightly possess and own, will be eroded away. The United Nations organisation from day one, has been an inherently deceptive body and remains so. | Alan |
| Socialist Cindy and her toxic band of toadies make sick. The media are to blame for brainwashing the fools who voted them in, but in particular Winston must take most of the blame. If he hadn’t gone with the lefties as utu for being busted by the Nats for his blatant benefit fraud, we wouldn’t be stuck with this idiotic woman and her communist ideology. | John |
| Without sustaining all human life we are doomed to extinction. | Jan |
| shit no!!! | norm |
| Absolutely not. Particularly when its done without honest debate and with a leftism media feeding socialist idiology to a gullible public. | Trevor |
| Certainly not. This is politics and national direction by stealth. Sly, underhand stuff, and concerning to boot. | Grahame |
| nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! ok.. | Wayne |
| NZ at the present is a democracy, as such we didn’t vote for the UN’s socialist agenda to be embedded in NZ laws, so one can only hope there is enough public pressure on the dear Leader not to subject New Zealanders to this draconian agenda. | John |
| New Zealanders are known for their entrepreneurial Spirit. Adern’s Socialist doctrine will inevitably take us down the path to Communism. She has no mandate from the public to experiment with our lives. She and her Party must be stopped. | Kathy |
| Goals 1 through 17 read like an early Russian playbook. This is really scary stuff. The Jacinder adoring public will blindly follow along with whatever she dictates. I’m beginning to understand why half America loves Trump. | Ray S |
| ABSOLUTELY – NO1 NO! NO!. FRIGHTENING! | Martin |
| We’re getting more socialistic in our government circles each day. Hard to stop but we must. A&T. | Ted |
| Why would I hand over my rights to a bunch of green, Marxist, globalist elites, the vast majority in the UN who hate western christian society. Jacinda is committing treason by handing over control to foreign dominance by people we haven’t voted for, as she gratuitously grovels for future inclusion with her elite comrades. | Rex |
| I would be happy to see NZ totally withdraw from the corrupt UN. The largest voting bloc at the UN is O.I.C. Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. You can be sure they Dont have our best interests at heart. I have read comments by some Americans to get America out of the UN and get the UN out of America. Couldnt agree more. | Carole |
| Not just no but absolutely not | Roger |
| No to socialist agendas | Brian |
| Hard for us as a society to get on and promote all these goals if nobody tells us that’s what we’re supposed to be doing. | ian |
| This has to be activated by referendum. Every citizen has to give an opinion on anything that changes our society rules. | CMT |
| It is vital that the next elections in NZ will hopefully STOP “The Smiling Assassin” in her tracks, if it isn’t TOO late with the damage that can be done to our FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY before 2023. The National Party have been conspicous by their absense in dragging this infrmation out in the open even during the 2020 Elections, as they surely must have known about this meeting with the Gates driven agenda, so WHY didn’t they speak out, one can only conclude that if they don’t condemn the socialist concept of the UN’s 2030 Agenda, they must condone it….sacry times if we have NO opposition to the huge lack of disclosure by Comrade M’s Ardern before and during the election campaigning. The big problem about stopping this “UN Train Crash” is that over many years, UN Socialism has insidiously been introduced through our eduction system, news media, always pushing the UN Agenda through UNESCO, UNICEF, WHO etc….it is already deep into the into the subconsious psyche of Kiwis……Yes Comrade M’s Ardern, we know what you are up to, BUT, can we stop her in time? Come on KIWIS, WAKE UP…….!!!!!!! | Bruza |
| Why should a independent county end up taking laws made up by the worlds largest corrupt organization, is it because our last female dictator wanted the top job but lost so now our latest dictator is now doing the same since she lost out getting a Noble prize but would be happy to sit at the top of the table giving out favours, Trump was 100% right saying the UN should be shut down. we have enough bent people in power with out taking orders from overseas but comrade cindy wants that hat that says brilliant UN top dog, and to hell with what happens to New Zealand and its people. | Richard |
| I am totally opposed to the UN and horrified at the idea of incorporation with the organization. | Doris |
| Sick and tired of New Zealand being used as a Guinea Pig for Political Asperations of a few loonies | Frank |
| it’s right | john |
| UN needs to go along with WHO and NWO. She Govtnz had no right to comment the people to an agenda most people have no understanding of. | Kara |
| A special characteristic of this clandestine action has been the manufacture of apparent hostile acts in order to manipulate public opinion within the democratic system. | Anon |
| Under no circumstance should we accept this UN Agenda 2030 or any other such version that may subsequently be amended too !! | Roy |
| Next step is Communism. | Pete |
| Ardern should not have the power to support 2030 with out a referendum shes acting on her socialist beliefs | Dave |
| And to insult to injury, it appears that the even the land of “hope and glory” have decided to follow the same road with the socialist Democrats looking like getting a mandate from the unsuspecting followers to endorse Agenda 2030. No wonder our PM is over the moon with election of Biden, a convincing Socialist. | Barry |
| New Zealand is an independent country, we do not need a foreign power telling us how to live!. | Ian |
| Of course not. I have always had a very low opinion of the UN for many years, and this confirms it yet again. | Chris |
| I’m not a communist, and never will be! Unfortunately, there have always been the have and the have nots, in a way, it is natural selection. Turning us into a communist state is not the right way to tackle it. | Heather |
| UN is an ideology. Before you can destroy millions of lives you must espouse ideology, and believe you are the good. gulags are close, we are already imprisoned debt slaves. Mainstream media hates you. | Matt |
| Nothing should be incorporated in New Zealand laws without proper debate and popular consultation. This government seem s bent on ramming lws through without debate or consensus | Terry |
| The UN is nothing more than an impotent waste of money just supporting the losers of this world. Sadly NZ voted in a Socialist self serving PM so we will just have to suck up whatever the stupid women serves up to us. | Don |
| Sustainability is a non-sense. Imagine what NZ would be like if it had been sustained as it was when Tasman and Cook first visited our shores! | Colin |
| We are a nation state. Let the people of New Zealand decide on our path to the future. To make that decision we need unbiased access to crucial information, and transparency from our government. Sadly, we have neither. | Rodger |
| Without an opposition and honest media providing debate, it’s hopeless. JA is emboldened to follow her naive ideology. | Sam |
| we should have the freedom tol be able totry to get ahead. Acess help when we need it. Not have to toe the line | Joan |
| The United Nations should be dismantled because it is riddled with and driven by Socialism. The organisation’s utopian concepts of removing Inequality are simply based on emotion and not functional policy. The UN is an enormous cost to the taxpayer and the money would be better spent locally on home based poverty created as a result of socialist policies! Socialism actually breeds inequality because its power base depends on voters living in poverty and being dependent on the State. Thus providing the political power needed for a State to create more poverty and match it with policies that drive Voters into submission. Like the Covid-19 crisis that is not a crisis but a vehicle to use fear to drive more voters into poverty. The NZ PM is a driven Socialist with no concepts of How an economy actually functions? The PM is so lacking in knowledge that the state of the NZ economy is beyond her comprehension. We are approaching the pinnacle of Nanny Socialism and we always had to get to this point. The current number to rationalise with is 11.7. So what is 11.7? It is the amount in Millions that the NZ governments money printing presses pump out in dollars Every Hour of Every Week of Every Month. Democracy depends upon a functional economy to exist. Freedoms are also lost without a healthy economy. Socialism attacks these democratic principles and the NZ economy would collapse into depression if the printing presses were shut-down and the government ceased massive debt based expenditure! It is expected that in about 3 to 6 months the value of the currency will start a path of de-valuation bringing with it increasingly adverse economic impacts. The current PM is using her country to Bounce to employment in the Big socialist collection of bureaucracies – called the UN. The mess she leaves behind will be profound. NZ should Bounce her into poverty for a taste of true socialism. Final Point; Watch the One-Way exodus out of NZ when the Borders Open!!! | Frederick |
| Definitely NOT, Jacinda is feathering her own nest with the UN, planning future possible Employment to achieve her World Domination Plans. This she does by paying Millions of NZ Taxpayer funds to the UN. | Pierre |
| More international meddling in NZ affairs | Gareth |
| Extraordinary claim from Melinda Gates where she claims “the future of the world depends on eliminating inequality” this from one of the wealthiest people on the planet. As for the U.N. pretty well any and everything that emanates from there should be regarded with scepticism and suspicion. | Bart |
| It will never happen because governments change and polices change also. People change and have different ideas and views. It would be near impossible to put into place all 17 Goals. Many counties would total ignore them and to apply them all, every country in the world would have to agree and do it, and that will never happen. | Reg |
| Some of it is fine, however imposing a one size fits all is an opening to fascism that destroys basic right of taking opportunity and success as individuals. There is too much autocratic imposition. Better to have small change from options the populous can withstand. Look at Sweden Norway and other countries exhibit success and democracy. | Stan |
| I think it was Ann Rand who said, you get socialism in by the vote, socialism always turns to communism, and you get communism out by the gun, look up NZ, just have a close look at the laws been passed in the last two years. | Sam |
| NO NO NO!!!! | Caro |
| Not if it means losing our human rights, which it does. | Marcus |
| Tell the UN to piss off. We saw Helen Clarke use us to get her place in the corrupt organization and now Cindy is doing the same. Can’t people see socialism doesn’t work. God save us from socialist. | P |
| Just a lot of socialist BS in an effort to control us | Alan |
| Commie BS | Russ |
| Absolutely not, – it is insidious and sadly many NZrs have their eye sand minds closed and believe all they are fed via mainstream media. | Shelley |
| NO!!! I’ve been fighting it for years with printed T shirts and caps. “2030 AGENDA GLOBAL SLAVERY’. “AGENDA 21 IS SLAVERY” ( Green T shirt 1) “Sustainable Development” – destruction of private property or HAMMER & SICKLE and SWASTIKA wrapped in a GREEN BLANKET” (Blue T shirt 2) “STOP AGENDA 21- Learn about it – Fight it – Do Nothing – Get SLAVERY”. Basically, it was the brainchild of one time U.N. bureaucrat Canadian Maurice Strong who spent his later years in China. Refer to videos about him on line. | Don |
| All the things Jacinda is doing is by stealth and this is one of the worst things that could happen to NZ. | Carol |
| I would touch the UN with a barge pole. It is run by . When the human rights chair is held by the Congo, who have the worst human rights history in the world. They are unelected in our country grey suited individuals that want to run our country. I will never surrender our sovereignty to unelected highly paid men and woman, nor come under their law. | dene |
| Hidden within the lofty goals of Agenda 2030 is the intent to destroy those who work hard to create independence for them and their families by working hard and producing and creating in businesses, professions, and of course farming. We live in an era where this means “being kind” when it really means stealing from those who have worked hard to give to those who have not, while ignoring the escalating taxes we pay to help those genuinely in need or vulnerable. What we see is a rogue government with an agenda that reports to other masters. When what we need is a benevolent government that represents the wishes of the people. | Kate |
| What gives Jacinda Ardern the right to decide for us. How dare she commit NZ to the UN and determine what right for us. We need to speak up. Enough of her fear and scare mongering going on onth covid PCR testing that is not fit for purpose False data Masks that cause more harm then good for the reasons she proposes. Be off with her and her goonies. Take us back Do not let this continue Lack of transparency integrity truth. People don’t matter She is not serving the people She wants to control and rule remove the power of the people. Speak up I do not want my children my grandchildren my great grandchildren to ever suffer under her watch. We are suffering enough. Unliveable systems creating poverty and health issues. Not only physically but emotional mentally psychologically Enslavement at its finest. Sustainable what a load of rubbish. | Annexe Kahika |
| No way!! | Hamish |
| Absolutely not. I am frankly appalled that we have got so far down the path to socialism / communism with absolutely no coverage by the MSM. In fact they are trying to portray Labour as being “centrist”. | Mike |
| Worst PM we’ve ever had. She sells her ideology with emotions…not facts. Wake up NZ and shut her down before it’s too late! | Robert |
| It concerns me how biased the press are and I fear for my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren’s future. We need to wake up and speak up. | Ian |

| No we must not do this and I do not support this | Aphrodite |
| NO WAY!!! Ironically most NZers don’t seem to realize that there is no opposition from National (or Act) as they are diff sides of the same coin and all financed/bribed or black mailed by the CCP! Last Election Billy Te Kahika and AdvanceNZ along with 63 candidates tried to inform and educate kiwis to the truth They were vilified, persecuted, excluded from Candidate Meetings and Main Stream Media – and the Govt gave $220,000 of taxpayers money to the Broadcasting Assn in July, for them to make a mockumentary to discredit Billy and the Party – released several days before the Election!! Facebook took down the Party’s page at the same time. Despite having documented proof for everything this party exposed – the majority of the NZ Public aggressively refused to hear the truth. They are about to reap what they have sown. WAKE UP NZ !!! | Heather |
| no not at all, agenda 2030 following agenda 21 is just another load of red fed poo devised to enslave a population, just like the russian and chinese despots,adhern is a despot in disguise, beware all kiwis | james |
| JUST GET RID OF JACINDA | sheryl |
| NO!!! | ROBERT |
| As a country we were once free thinkers and achievers. Now we just follow like sheep to the slaughter house of socialism. It is nothing short of a tragedy. And as for our news media, I was going to comment that they are spineless but instead perhaps call them unprofessional in their conduct and ethics. | chris |
| Because it takes away freedom of speech and that is the beginning of the end for our freedom | Dave |
| My Father spent 3 years away as a bomber pilot in World War 2 to ensure a free world for us. That affected him forever. And now another enemy to our hard won freedom. Damn her and her team | Brian |
| The UN has reached the same point in its life as the League of Nations and it is time for it to give up and die gracefully. In its present form it is nothing other than a socialist/communist mouthpiece that uses its unearned but levied wealth to berate and chastise its major contributors who fail to respond to their plea for world government. New Zealand may still be members of this monolith but for our political leaders to take it upon themselves to commit OUR nation to its socialist agendas, clearly on the basis of “They Know Best”, could not be more undemocratic if they tried. Clearly in 2019, Miss Ardern believed that she had captured sufficient a following that she did not need to consult them and gain their agreement (just as she stated during the so-called COVID-19 “crisis” – ‘we have sufficient support to not need to consult or advise them’). The sooner we as a Nation can allow citizens to call for binding referendum to keep our mono-cameral government accountable to their electors the better off we shall be. Perhaps then we can avoid the removal of rights in a two day vendetta that creates binding law “required” by the government in power. We are hastening the demise of our nation as a sovereign power if we permit Miss Ardern and her sycophants to incorporate any UN Edict into our law and policies. | Michael |
| It sounds as tho the UN is going to own us lock stock and barrel if Jacinda Ardern takes us down this track. | Carol |
| Equality of opportunity is the hallmark of a free society, Not the socialist model of wealth redistribution. | Willy |
| Agenda 21/30 has been quietly introduced by successive governments in most of the Western world for a very long time now. Probably beginning in 1972. Rarely has legislation introduced by previous administrators been repealed. Usually in fact, such laws have been endorsed & entrenched. The last National government in this country gave a prime example of that. In the U.S.A, President Trump broke the cycle, & so to remove him, the Demorats have attempted to cheat him out of power, with fraudulent votes that are rapidly being exposed. Here in New Zealand, political Parties who stood for NZ sovereignty, & private enterprise, such as NEW CONSERVATIVE, were barred from any televised Leaders debates. Ridiculed & branded extreme and dangerous FAR RIGHT EXTREMISTS by the main stream media. All to keep them from gaining traction & explaining the truth to the gullible public.. Jacindas Labour Party played the Covid Card to perfection. Ensuring a frightened, poorly informed public would vote for her, as a way of saying thankyou for saving their miserable lives. With now, 15, 16, & 17yr olds, who have come through the indoctrination system we once called education, all eligible to vote at the next election, I am predicting we are stuck with our extreme Marxist government for a very long time. Possibly forever, if the Agenda 2030 UN Global Government is successfully implemented. A Trump victory in the U.S.A could be our only chance of surviving this, & the Globalists know it.. | A.G.R. |

| I’ve worked hard since I was 15 to make myself self supporting. We helped our children get a good education including tertiary studies. They have worked hard and are now supporting their own children’s education. When things were going badly we picked ourselves up and carried on. Those who voted for this government are sadly lacking in clear vision. | paloma |
| Read the list of goals, and very quickly you will see that the measures needed to achieve these goals involve population control…Sounds like a great idea…except WHO will have the control and HOW. | Lionel |
| The prime Minister Jacinda Adern said on taking office that the government she led would be the most open and transparent government ever. Alas that is not the case and from what I read now it is turning out to be very very secretive with unannounced meetings which will have a significant impact on all New Zealanders. It is well past the time that United Nations agendas should be dumped. What on earth is she thinking. If One World Government is the ultimate goal there is no need for her any way | John |
| communism | Greg |
| I’m furious that we weren’t aware of this. Who does Jacinda Ardern think she is. I wonder what else is in the pipeline, which is fast leading us into the sewer that is the UN 2030 Agenda? | Julia |
| She has been a Communist since she was at University so nothings changed. | martin |

| No and No again. What is needed is the teaching of history in our schools. Unfortunately I wasn’t taught properly and learning that the battle of Hastings was in 1066 seemed to me pointless. What is needed though are good history teachers so that we can learn from our wins and our mistakes and so not make the same mistakes again. Socialism DOES NOT WORK. It has never worked and will NEVER work. This needs to taught in our schools but as they are run by socialists I won’t hold my breath Equal opportunity is great but equal outcome can only be achieved with force All these fine sounding slogans such as Black Lives Matter and Build Back Better are nothing more than Communism in disguise. Where is the MSM and the questioning that is needed to bring this BS out in the open. The global mantra that disaster is pending because of Climate Change (Sorry Global Warming- which is now not happening) is another such program to bring about the UN’s Socialist utopia. Read Apocalypse Never by Schellenberger and learn the real answer. Bring all peoples out of poverty by enforcing property rights and cheap energy which must include fossil fuels. When this happens the population will stabilise and most of the so called problems foreseen by the UN will be solved with good old fashioned capitalism. We have a communist leader and the national party need to take the capitalist stance or they will lose out to ACT | Robin |
| No! – my fathers’ generation did not go to war against National Socialism only to have UN or Global Socialism replace it. All the mugs that voted for this mess will be in for one hell of a shock in the not too distant future. The tragedy is that our children and grandchildren will be denied the rights and freedoms that we have enjoyed which were dearly bought and paid for by previous generations. It may be that we will have to do what they did to ensure that we will have a lasting legacy of freedom and liberty to pass on to succeeding generations. This agenda has no place in NZ and needs to be done away with – along with its proponents – at the earliest possible opportunity. | Scott |
| ABSOLUTELY NOT .. socialism i believe does not quantify a healthy local economy . if we dont have a varied socio economic population there is no growth, there is no will to gain more out our lives… how the hell do we stand against this ?? | Alex |
| The people of NZ have shown themselves at the last election to be like a gagle of ignorant Leemings who have blindly followed a image over the cliff, and are now in ‘free fall’ downwards. When it occurs, the sudden stop at the bottom of the cliff is going to be very painfull. | Bob |
| strait communism. Has no place in New Zealand | John |
| I looked at Time Magaxzine’s recent extensive coverage of the 2023 Great Reset. The World Economic Forum’s Davos Manifesto looks very similar to the NZ Labour Party’s manifesto. I would also point out to Dr Oliver Hartwich that the Liberal/Left are very comfortable at speaking their minds in New Zealand. It is us centre right conservatives who unfortunately keep our thoughts to ourselves. | Phil |

| The UN are a disparate bunch of world misfits, who seem to think that what they have done in their own countries is the perfect example for us all to follow, countries with human rights that are appalling, poverty (well ardern is half way there with that one) , homelessness, poorly educated people ( a deliberate ploy) , how ardern thinks that she has the intelligence to fit in with that lot is beyond me, but then again with helen clarke pressing the buttons what else can we think, the UN needs to be disbanded, told to go back to their rat hole countries and face the consequences of their own people, before handing out edicts to other countries. It infuriates me. | Merryl |

| Strictly against State control of private assets. Equal opportunity for all to work and obtain security . State must never be allowed to control our private lives as in happening now with Covid 19 Laws. | Don |
| The U N is a corrupt organisation and is funded by the likes of the Gates with excessive wealth and you can see why U S A have reduced funding as they have a socialist agenda . You cannot have equality due to different human ambitions .So those who voted Labour that would have voted National get real. | ken |

| No, no, no! If there were truly open debate on the subject you know how the majority in this country would vote. Unfortunately it is not like that. The United Nations and also our Beloved Leader Jacinda Adern are not open or honest about their agenda. Backing this up we have a “fourth estate” which has been totally taken over, so there is little chance of all this being exposed. For years a system was sneakily introduced to provide courses and academic qualifications in news and journalism. The product today is the people who staff our newspapers, magazines, radio and television as “journalists.” Take a look at any copy of the daily newspapers, and I will especially point you at the Wellington daily. Be discerning as you look through the content. Almost every article is in some degree an opinion piece and there is little totally factual and totally unbiassed factual reportage. So from where is the general public going to get its facts? Sure, you will get selected facts among the opinions but that is insufficient in itself for anyone to form a balanced opinion or to make informed decisions. Jacinda and her cohort may make all sorts of decisions and without any openness or public discussion or democratic process we will all have her decisions foisted on us, like it or not. | Rob |
| What’s the point of making any comment? We all know it is the blatant truth hidden by this Socialist Government and being implemented by stealth. | Robyn |
| NO, no, no and no. Oh and did I also say No? | Vernon |

| Socialism by stealth aided by the universities and school curricula – then worst, an opposition who will not with historical facts, evidence call it out. | Maurice |
| Especially with the public not realizing it’s even happening. Change by stealth. | Andrew |
| No of course not – we should be setting policy for the improvement of New Zealanders. Just a quick browse through the UN’s Agenda 2030 is enough to sound alarm bells for anyone with half a brain! The seventeen goals are unobtainable simply because humans are humans with all their inherent faults. How the hell do we expect to end poverty for a start? And hunger? It’s a wishy washy list drawn up by a bunch of self entitled bureaucrats sitting in their comfortable offices trying to justify their existence. | Rex |
| If they’d listen to the truth and stop controlling the science I could be tempted to trust them. Given the UN do the opposite of that, they control the science and the narrative they do not deserve anyones trust. It’s past time to take a stand | Darag |
| Cindy trading away NZ’s independence and autonomy, allowing the UN to get between its power and its people. We all know what comrade Cindy gets out of this – 30 pieces of silver to enhance her life at the expense if everyone else.

It is merely the difference between murder and suicide.” “Lenin said: “The goal of socialism is communism.” This is Ardern’s goal. She is a traitor of the people of New Zealand. | Jenny |
| As a small populated nation we cannot afford to lead the world as proposed by the United Nations. We can contribute in part but not on the scale of Jacinda’s wish list. | Roydon |
| I wonder how many of those who voted for labour this time round understand what this government is aiming to achieve? The old saying about socialism being ok until it runs out of other peoples money seems to be well on its way to happening. | Graham |
| You are right,Muriel | Bruce |
| Absolute socialist ‘control freak’ nonsense denying many rights of individual freedom | Hylton |

| I could see it coming but many won’t open their eyes or ears. | Chris |

| The countries that are ruined by turning to socialist doctrines are enough to show that socialism destroys the life of countries | John |
| Whilst some of the intentions sound good and we in NZ already follow them, we as citizens need to be able to achieve on merit, not by right | TONY |
| It needs exposing but our mainstream media organisations are not reporting this and that verges on criminality. The fourth estate has become nothing more than a Govt mouthpiece. It is a disgrace. NZers need access to this. | Kevin |
| This is way beyond appalling and is being imposed dishonestly, aided and abetted by failed journalism. | Allan |
| It has the smell of Helen Clark and Peter Dunne and other has been politicians behind it. The UN has strayed a long way from the purpose it was set up to achieve into power games and policy pushers for the disenchanted and selfentitled of the world. The reports they give on poverty and racerelations etc etc in NZ is fed to them from NZ by the disenchanted and looney left. Don’t forget the greens in this too! First place the Maori activists head for as well. | Bruce |
| Socialism by stealth. Where are the opposition parties on this agenda? Well past time the mainstream media started to disclose just how devious our PM comrade Marxinder can be and start questioning if indeed this is what New Zealanders voted for in both 2017 and 2020. Only NZCPR seems to be awake to this Animal Farm agenda. | Chris |

| It is a philosophy that has been proven so often as a failed philosophy with the most disastrous consequences for everyone. While I agree that excessive representation of humanity is destroying the planet, part of the rebalance required to ensure the planet carries on in a sustainable condition, is to limit the growth of human populations. That is to ensure that both men and women are sterilized after they have created 2 children. i.e. replacement of themselves. However, this policy is going to take a lot of hard sell and many people who are incapable of seeing more than a week ahead … will be horrified at the prospect of not being able to breed willy nilly ad infinitum. So just like Muriel, I will say what needs to be said and let the baying hounds bay. | Dianna |
| Unfortunately it’s too late. Too many little old ladies voting for image over substance. | Terry |
| The UN is has turned into a global neo communist headquarters.. All these ‘ agendas’ are nothing else but blueprints for worldwide totalitarianism and well hidden under a torrent of harmless sounding terms and words. The media and ‘social’ media are the mouthpiece to lull the population into a ‘ ignorance is bliss’ mindset and serve well to destroy all natural and traditional values in order to create the new world citizen. But— whatever will come from all this — it will not be sustainable because the wellbeing of humanity will suffer ( hell on earth) and only a few top dogs will prosper materially but not spiritually. And this does lead inevitably to destruction . | Michael |
| By trying to keep out the Greens New Zealanders have voted in a government led by a dangerous woman. The bought media are continuing to serve up biased news and while the blinkers are still in place will never question decisions made by this government or do the investigative journalism and reporting they should be doing | Heather |
| Equal opportunity has always been the ethos of NZ. | Andrew |
| Muriel, Kenysian economic liberalism is an experiment that cannot work forever because it relies on unlimited resources.. It is clear that natural resources are running out. Yes, the economic liberal model gave equal opportunity and was deemed to be fair as the gains made, although unequal would trickle down and everyone would be better off. But we see now that the gap between rich and poor is huge and is patently unfair and must not go on. GDP measures ecnomic growth of the rich. It does not take into account many other measures of well being like the environment, unpaid womens work etc. its time things cha ned and we aimed for sustainable growth and a more equitable way of measuring well being. | Huria |
| This need to be thoroughly disseminated before implementation. | Charles |
| Absolutely and emphatically definitely not. | Rossco |
| I support equal opportunity | Jason |
| Absolutely NOT! The Government needs to be called out, what is going on behind closed doors, is increasingly alarming | caren |
| This is world communism and totalitarianism in disguise. Freedom means your will to choose how and where to live and work, who to vote for and what political structures match your values. The UN is unelected, unaccountable and will destroy nations and individuals sovereignty to set their own laws and live according to their own value systems. | Rachel |
| Wtf? | Mark |
| Do true New Zealanders not have the mental ability to understand and see New Zealand as a free and democratic society capable of making life’s decisions for ourselves. What is wrong with our own intelligence to allow others far away the political power to determine our destiny? A very scary smoke screen! | Stuart |

This is not the direction I want NZ to be heading. | Vivienne |

| The media and opposition need to thoroughly examine what this government does from this point on. | Mark |
| absolutely no. Wake up NZ. I do not/did not consent. | Jenny |
| Woe betide anyone who has the guts to stand up to the Marxist tsunami. Look at the torrent of attack Trump has weathered these past 4 years – it has been relentless. The world needs an army of Trumps to turn the tide. I fear it’s too late. Number 1 cause: Marxist media | Sharen |
| No because there is no transparency in the way this government does things. | Kristene |
| Socialism makes everyone poor and destroys any ambition one may have. This leads to chronic depression which often leads to suicide. This what the likes of Bill Gates wants – to destroy people, because fewer people are easier to control… | Elsie |
| UN globalist agendas are undemocratic and genocidal. | Melahi |
| I wish that just once in my lifetime, I’ll get to see what it’s like to have a government that put’s it’s nation and works for it’s citizens instead of some UN bureaucrat. | pavel |
| If we are going to wait for a change until the next election, we WILL find ourselves living in a country like China or North Korea! Wake up NZ! Are we going to tolerate this PM any longer? | Krassi Dimov |
| You want to know what racism looks like??? Well here it is, right in your face! | Neil |
| No I do not. I fought hard in this last election to try to “inform” New Zealanders of the impending changes that this dangerous government have planned. They sure have not made it clear what they intend for New Zealand, and as such, are covertly implementing these policies. They did not put these policies up at the election. They now believe they have a mandate to go full socialist/communist. During the election campaigning this was a question I directly asked people. Do you want democracy or socialism in New Zealand. Invariably, the answer was democracy. Then everyone voted for the communist, including the stupid farmers!!!!! What the hell is with that? Are they blind, and the answer is yes. They just don’t want to believe that which is right before their eyes. We can see it transpiring right now. This covid nonsense. Mandatory mask wearing. By the way, mandatory does not mean you have to do it, they are just after “voluntary compliance”. Same with “mandatory contact tracing”. Slimy lot they are. The truth is that communism does not work. You end up pissing everyone off and running out of people to take money off to give to the lazy blood suckers. And man, aren’t we seeing those numbers grow!! | Neil |
| Absolutely not – UN socialism has no place in NZ. It is outrageous that all of these developments have happened without us being aware of it. National needs to commit to repeal it all when it becomes the next government. | Laurel |
| Jacinda Ardern is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She does not have a mandate to turn us into a communist society. Yet that’s what she seems to want to do. | Dennis |
| National needs to start campaigning now on getting us free from the clutches of the UN. | Michael |
| I wonder if all the dopes who voted for Labour to keep the Greens out realise what they have done – how dangerous this left wing government is and the extent of the long-term damage they can do. | Colin |
| All UN and sustainable development references need to be purged from our law. | Jeremy |
