NZ First calls out the "woke circus"
A push for commonsense politics in New Zealand
This morning, New Zealand First released a bold image on X featuring three prominent figures from the opposition: Chlöe Swarbrick (Greens), Chris Hipkins (Labour), and Rawiri Waititi (Māori Party). Accompanied by the stark caption, “Everyone knows the Labour, Greens, Māori Party woke show would be a circus,” the party made it clear: they are the only ones taking a firm stand against what they describe as an increasingly ideological and disconnected political agenda.
The post continued:
“Labour have sold out working Kiwis, Greens are economically illiterate, and the Māori Party wants separatism throughout New Zealand.”
They concluded with a line that’s quickly gaining traction among supporters:
“Only New Zealand First is pushing back, waging a ‘war on woke’ and fighting to ensure commonsense prevails.”
Let me unpack it below…
Labour Has Sold Out Working Kiwis
Labour once stood as the party of the working class. But under current leadership, they’ve shifted towards policies that often prioritise global ideologies over local realities. Rising costs of living, skyrocketing rents, and policies that hurt small businesses are just a few examples where everyday New Zealanders feel left behind. No one will ever forget the tyranical mesasures put in place by Ardern throughout the ‘pandemic’, Instead of championing practical solutions for working families, Labour has embraced bureaucratic overreach, costly reforms, and virtue-signalling measures that rarely benefit the average Kiwi.
Greens Are Economically Illiterate
The Green Party frequently promotes feel-good policies without considering economic consequences. Their approach is guided more by ideology than by sound fiscal reasoning. Policies like wealth taxes, radical climate spending, and unrealistic economic transitions ignore the needs of workers and small businesses. By prioritising emotion over evidence, the Greens have repeatedly demonstrated a lack of real-world economic understanding, pushing ideas that could destabilise New Zealand’s economy under the guise of progress, luckily they will never hold the top position of power.
The Māori Party Promotes Separatism
NZ First has taken a strong stance against what they describe as the Māori Party’s push for constitutional and cultural separatism. Their MP’s are openly racist in Parliament. Many New Zealanders are concerned that the Māori Party’s vision leans toward creating racist division rather than unity, prioritising a race-based framework in public policy that risks undermining national cohesion. While all New Zealanders deserve respect and representation, NZ First argues that we must stand for equal rights for all, not different rules for different groups.
