"Today the government has announced it is halting any new prescribing of puberty blockers. New Zealand First was the only party that campaigned around the country about stopping the use of puberty blockers in children and we never stopped fighting to make this happen. It is commonsense to put a pause on these unproven and potentially damaging drugs for children until we assess the results of the clinical trials in the UK once its completed. Promise made. Promise kept"

"There has been a lot of talk about Indian FTA and not much comprehension about what the consequences are for New Zealand. The Indian Government has itself described the FTA as providing unprecedented mobility opportunities for Indian professionals students and has noted that the temporary employment opportunities offered to Indian citizens are unprecedented. They have said our offer to India on temporary employment visas is more generous than weve made to any other FTA partner. We are simply asking: Why have we been more generous on migration with India than in any other FTA Why has migration"

"Andrea Vance says the continued use of X by politicians is a form of tacit approval of the abuse material allegedly being made using Grok on the platform. That statement is as unhinged as it is stupid. She might want to first ask some questions about her own organisation Stuff who constantly quote and screenshot my ministerial X posts for use in their articles as recently as a few weeks ago. So is Stuff complicit and now tacitly approving of X Where is Vances article deep diving into Stuff reporters using X for news content Or is it rules for thee and no rules for me.

"New Zealand First to Campaign for Referendum on Mori Seats The time has come for a decision on the future of the Mori seats. It has been said many times but is a vitally undeniable fact the Royal Commission into the electoral system in [----] stated that with the implementation of MMP it would create a more representative Parliament and the original justification for separate Mori seats would no longer exist. This point cannot be ignored. The Mori Partys behaviour over the past two years has been the last straw. They hold the majority of the Mori seats and do not turn up to parliament disregard"

"We waited until today to find out for the first time that the Prime Minister's Office received information about the March [--] terrorist attack before the massacre took place. Jacinda Ardern should be called to the hearing and asked to explain this appalling lack of transparency to the New Zealand public - let alone to the Deputy Prime Minister and government coalition partner. This was a crisis event. To keep this basic information hidden is not only unacceptable it is now clearly indicative of how that office worked. The next question is who else inside Cabinet knew and said nothing"

"For those political apologists and feckless media there is an existing transcript of a phone call made by the Prime Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister at the vital time of a crisis when a terrorist had just massacred innocent people. Not once were we transparently informed of this information - such as the phone call her office made to the police - despite the obvious expectation and clear opportunity. To excuse it because it was known at a public press conference the next day instead of information that shouldve been shared with the Deputy Prime Minister and coalition partner the day"

"The gaslighting media cant defend the facts out today that vital information of the locations of the terrorist attacks were known by the Prime Ministers Office before it happened - yet the PM the next day said the police couldnt act because they didnt have that detail. The mosques werent even warned. This was my point about critical information not being passed on. This inquiry is to find out what went wrong and what steps couldve been taken to save lives - no matter how inconvenient the facts are. It is unfortunate that todays media are more interested in click-bait and personal narratives"

What may come as a shock to the out-of-touch dictators on the left it showed that 58% of people believe that it should be the local ratepayers that decide on Mori Wards by a referendum not councils. Ironically it showed 67% of Mori Party supporters and 51% of Labour Party supporters think it should be up to the locals voting in a referendum too. What will not come as a shock is that not one single mainstream media outlet decided to report on this poll. Curia Market Research"

"If Ayesha Verralls sister-in-law thought it important enough to declare it as a conflict of interest in [----] when her sister-in-law was the minister why didnt she declare it to Casey Costello - when she knew her own sister-in-law Verrall was the sole person responsible for attacking the legislation Casey was working on. And when she was sitting in meetings advising and had access to that information Casey Costello was working on. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand that the very real conflict of interest should have been declared. Join the dots. And as for your comments last night"

Did you mislead Hipkins telling him it was a distant relation many steps removed or did Hipkins know it was your sister-in-law [--]. How many times have you met with or otherwise had contact"
