An activist at a recent Socialism 2026 conference in Chicago slammed the “diet industry” for policing “Black fat flesh,” characterising modern health standards & weight management as forms of “body fascism” – drawing on “eugenic, anti-Black, anti-fat, ableist, racist, productivist traditions…” Where’s my paper bag and tin-foil hat?
The newly released RSE curriculum has had some significant & welcome improvements – but there has been a disturbing change. The Ministry of Education has previously told schools and boards of trustees that they must find out the wishes of the school community in terms of how sex education should be implemented, “given the views, beliefs, and customs of the members of that community”. Well – no more. The Government doesn’t want your input or to consult with you anymore. They’re just going to tell you what they’re going to do. They’re also not required to provide detailed lesson plans or every classroom resource that will support this teaching and learning. Why the secrecy?
The Green Party have released their health policy. It’s quite the jumble of themes, phobias & woke terms. To be fair, there’s a couple of good things – but it’s predominantly pro abortion, transing and euthanasia. And a (whacky) claim that females only give birth to “most” babies.
The latest 2026 Quality of Life survey is out – and it confirms the bad news for the news media. Not only do we distrust…
The so-called experts (WPATH) on chemicalising and confusing children in the false attempt to make a boy a girl and a girl a boy made a stunning admission last week. So stunning that our NZ media ignored it – despite the significant link of WPATH to New Zealand (via PATHA). You’ll soon know why. It goes against all the narrative around so-called “gender affirmation”. The transgender movement’s sainted authority on medical issues is effectively admitting that there is more than one position on the issue—and telling a court that preserving open debate on transgender “health care” is a public good.
We speak to our Australian correspondent Lyle Shelton from the Family First political party. Topics include: the Australian Census happening this week and the questions on ‘identity’ and religion; a Sydney Mosque wants to broadcast calls to prayer; the Australian government puts $10m into gender indoctrination of young people
Bob talks to ACT Party leader David Seymour about the ‘reasonable force’ plan for disruptive students policy just announced, is there really an issue in classrooms, how bad has student behaviour got, and is this also time to revisit the anti-smacking law. They also discuss the possible solutions to the harms of social media to teenagers if a social media ban isn’t the solution, will a ban on smartphones solve some of the problem as proposed by ACT, and is the real issue lax parenting or are Big Tech needing to be held to account.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW – here’s the interview with New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, discussing the baby bonus policy just announced, the possible solutions to the harms of social media to teenagers if a social media ban isn’t the solution, and also political threats coming from the left – and is he racist?
Jojo Ruba is from the Cornerstone Institute (Canada) which is similar to Family First. We discuss social & moral issues which both Canada and NZ are dealing with – including abortion, euthanasia, ‘conversion therapy’ bans, the rapid expansion of euthanasia, Canada’s disturbing hate speech laws, prostitution, anti-smacking laws and gender ideology. What can we learn from Canada’s experience, and what can we warn them about.
Last week I was at the Social Conservative Policy Conference (SoConCon) in Washington DC with social conservative leaders from the US & also Canada. I had the opportunity to catch up with with Alex Schadenberg from Euthanasia Prevention Coalition in Canada.
