New Zealand First MP Shane Jones has released a fiery new video calling out the immigration rort that’s been hiding in plain sight. In a short but scathing clip, Jones accuses thousands of migrants of treating New Zealand like a stepping stone to Australia, using our passport as a “get into Aussie free card” – something I wrote about just the other day.
Jones revealed that 94,000 people have claimed Australian citizenship through New Zealand, and shockingly, 48% of them weren’t even born here. That means nearly half of those now living as Australians with the benefits of dual citizenship only ever came here to game the system.
Jones doesn’t mince words: New Zealand is being used as an “assembly line for foreigners.” People arrive here, enjoy our quality of life, secure citizenship, then “flit off” across the Tasman without a shred of loyalty or contribution. According to Jones, this is not what New Zealand is – and certainly not what New Zealand First stands for.
The video, which is already circulating across social media, goes beyond immigration. Jones takes aim at iwi leaders and what he calls “Māori sovereignty deluded souls,” accusing them of turning a blind eye to mass immigration while their own communities suffer. He recounts a story where a kiwifruit company tried to hire young Māori men, only to find meth pipes scattered across the work bus. That, Jones says, is what iwi leadership should be standing up against – not constantly demanding more power or funding from the Crown.
If New Zealanders aren’t willing to get off welfare and into work, employers will keep turning to foreign labour, and that just feeds a broken cycle. The country is footing the bill twice – once for the unproductive here, and again for the migrants who leave once they’ve cashed in on our citizenship.
Jones’s blunt delivery and unapologetic tone stand out in a political landscape where most MPs are too scared to say what many are thinking. He’s tapping into the frustration that’s been boiling for years – the feeling that New Zealand is being taken for granted, by both outsiders and insiders.
“That's not New Zealand First,” he says, closing the clip.
And he’s right. It's not. It’s definitely the reality New Zealand is heading toward unless more politicians start speaking up.
Jones is sounding the alarm. Whether the rest of Parliament is listening is another matter entirely
