    The RSB is to place the corporation in place of the people as the party whom government serves.

    Fear and obedience to the order of imperial grandee capital.

    To which one only respond there is one righteous corporation standing up for our freedom, from such servitude.

    What sort of parliament would be a party to this perfidy?

    Is this the sort of pace that was intended by the enabling legislation?

    Can the Minister of Regulations be trusted?

    Seymour, who holds portfolio responsibility for the Overseas Investment Act, told LINZ last year to process 80 percent of consent applications in half the statutory time frames for decisions.

    He said the improvements to processing times were largely due to a new risk-based approach LINZ was taking to verifying information and streamlining consent processes, recognising that most applications were low-risk.

    With Parliament sitting this week for the first time in three weeks, Seymour’s Overseas Investment (National Interest Test and Other Matters) Amendment Bill will also have its first reading.

    The Bill seeks to introduce a modified national interest test so low-risk transactions can be assessed quicker. The screening process for less sensitive assets would also be simplified.

    So he is directing actions as Minister before obtaining legislative authority.

    One Shane to rule them all in the north.

    NZ First drafting bill to require only one Ngāpuhi settlement.

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/nz-first-drafting-bill-to-require-only-one-ngapuhi-settlement/P5WE6PIWNBCG7EEFBQGA2ZX7SQ/

    The herding begins, one Regulatory Standard according to the Jones law.

    Cuzzy up to Shane, the shake down begins.

    1.Silencing any recognition/settlement to those holding a sovereignty position
    2.Aggregating all the capital into one control group, rather than allow smaller groups to decide for themselves.

    His agenda is to stamp his grandiose pomposity on others, to big note himself.

    This is not service to iwi, this is vanity.

      Are you sure it wasn’t Brian Tamaki chanting ‘no assimilation, no immigration’?

      Shane Jones and NZF appear to be forcing an assimilation agenda that reeks of retro-colonialism.

      It fits neatly with the neo-authoritarian Coalition that covets individualism at the expense of diversity and pluralism.

      If the Coalition succeeds, we won’t celebrate NZ’s history in 2040 but a dystopian blinding future of landlord-led feudalism and bot-policed serfs forced to swallow a daily blue pill.

    The 'wit and wisdom' of our puerile Deputy PM – he leads a party of twits, by example.

    Seymour’s ‘light up’ message alarms tobacco researchers [21 June 2025]
    “If you want to save your country’s balance sheet, light up, because … lots of excise tax, no pension – I mean, you’re a hero,” he said to laughter from the audience.

    There's pushback up and down the country against that snot-nosed simpleton Simian Browne and his amateur government:

    The people have spoken — and the NZ Transport Agency has listened— with the speed limit through Rakaia to remain at 50km/h along State Highway 1.

    Rakaia Community Association chairperson Neil Pluck said it’s a win for the community. “And a victory for common sense around New Zealand as we weren’t the only victor on the day.”

    Rakaia was one of 16 sites nationwide where the speed limits were reviewed after a community outcry. The Government had planned to automatically reverse the road to its previous higher speed limit of 70km/h.

      Tom is a very busy boy helping to reshaping housing the way they want.

      A smooth operator with media savvy he will be pleasing the backers as a rising star of plunder.

      Like Reti he appears committed to reducing the capacity for kiwis in need to be looked after.

    Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthi and the global Free Palestine activist movement are the only ones truely committed to peace in the region.

    We need to either sweep Israeli settlers west of the 1949 armistice line or have them commit to living in a free Palestine.

    Their choice, but the reckoning is coming.

    Winnie and Jonsie are both from the North, right?

    Then how come they’ve done so little for their rohe.

    ”Maria Baker is the chief executive of Te Hiku Hauora, a health organisation serving the Far North. She said more than a generation had now been impacted by methamphetamine in the region.

    She also pointed to social issues that made things harder for their community – "lack of income, poor housing and lack of access to employment".

      Winnie and Shane will probably throw some lollies around before the election as they seek another term.

      They're doing great which is all that matters to them and how they keep the baubles of power.

    A case for the deputised one to be held in contempt of parliament.

    for the past week, he has been using his platform as deputy prime minister to publicly attack high-profile submitters, with a series of ads calling them "victim of the day". It is effectively a hate-campaign against submitters, attempting to incite harassment and violence against them, in an effort to deter submissions in future.

    Secondly, among the examples of contempt of parliament are these:
    intimidating, preventing, or hindering a witness from giving evidence, or giving evidence in full, to the House or a committee…

    assaulting, threatening, or disadvantaging a person on account of evidence given by that person to the House or a committee.

      The posts prompted Whanau to write to the Prime Minister, accusing Seymour of orchestrating a "campaign of online harassment and intimidation."

      Whanau's letter said the posts were a "blatant attempt to stifle academic opinion and any dissenting opinion", and a breach of Sections 2.53 and 2.56 of the Cabinet Manual.

      Section 2.53 called on ministers to "conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to the office", while Section 2.56 said ministers were expected to behave in a way that upheld the highest ethical and behavioural standards.

      "This includes exercising a professional approach and good judgement in their interactions with the public, staff, and officials, and in all their communications, personal and professional," it says.

    Wait, yet more contempt of parliament from the deputised one.

    he has been using his platform as deputy prime minister to publicly attack high-profile submitters, with a series of ads calling them "victim of the day".

    That's bad enough. But to add insult to injury, at least one of those ads bears a Parliamentary logo. It's being done with out money!

    Parliamentary communications "must only be used for parliamentary purposes". Readers might want to consider whether organising harassment campaigns against members of the public who submit on legislation is a "parliamentary purpose". And if it turns out that it is "within the rules" – as MP's love to say when caught doing something immoral – whether those rules, or indeed the entire institution, is fit for purpose.

    Some MP should lodge a complaint. And if the Privileges Committee finds him guilty, then he should be hoist by his own petard, and suspended for a month.

    Indeed. Such Trumpian level aberrance should be called out.

    Someone should keep him as far as possible from the PM's office and other places the bald one is allowed to be.

    Quoted in a now defunct submission to the Committee (kneecapped by a 10,000 character limit in the containment box).

    “I would implore Labour, the Greens, and Te Pāti Māori to repeal this odious Bill should it become law, in their first 100 days of becoming government.”

    If public opinion is steadfastly against the Bill, and if NZ First is tarred with the same brush as Act, then what possible benefit is there for Peters and his Party

    Yes the cost will be terrible (will be the main attack on his party in 2026 – selling out coastal land and river and lake side land to overseas investors another).

    when a Labour-Greens-Te Pāti Māori coalition will scrap it within 100 days? Peters will have burned his political capital by aligning himself with Act’s corporate interests – for nothing.

    Does the sun shine down on dead/retired politicians. Like disinfectant.

    That it (the RSB is him as AN ideology servant) dares to elevate individual rights, due process, and cost-benefit analysis over ideology.

    It is the big lie.

    The legislation enables corporations to have permanent government protection. It places them above New Zealand state and New Zealanders. It makes our government accountable to corporations. It gives them individual rights, them right of access to due process to obstruct government. And not just as a corporation, but as an organised industry collective.

    And he dismisses all resistance as ideological – he means defence of nation state sovereignty and democratic activism.

    That is the Atlas Network agenda for every nation to subordinate them to the direction of aggregate corporate capital dominance.
