Watching to see how Aussie as a whole reacts to these citizens exercising their rights, I hope they’re left to protest peacefully and lefties don’t disrupt their rights to contrary opinion.

What usually happens when patriots try to stand up for their rights at protests is that the left will infiltrate the march with agent provocateurs. Their aim is to stir up trouble, spark violence, and then hand the mainstream media the perfect excuse to brand the entire event as “far right” or “racist.”

Tommy Robinson is set to lead a major rally in England in the coming weeks, and one of his key instructions to attendees is that no one should wear face coverings. That’s because face coverings are the trademark of these provocateurs who hide their identity while causing chaos. It’s a smart precaution in my view, and one that could make it much harder for the media and their allies to smear the protest.

Am following Tommy Robinson closely, he’s no idiot. It’s very true that lefties like to cover their faces. It seems to me they are also doing it on a daily basis to virtue signal to each other. At any rate our policy is keep clear of anyone with face covering!

I believe Brian Tamaki is doing a march over the Auckland Harbour Bridge in a few weeks.

Hi Matua, I watched the video and noted the many lying smears this scumbag media channel made. One that really stood out for me was that this protest was in response (opposition) to the Palistinian one. It isn't. The free Palistine and stop the Gaza genocide is, in my view a very just cause, but to state that the 2 protests are at odds with each other is utter crap. It will take only a little spark for the people of Aussie, UK, France, Germany, etc to explode and drag the scumbags into the streets and deal with them in the tried and proven ways of the past. I don't want Kiwiland to end up the same way, but if our polititians don't wake up soon, I regret to say it will. Cheers Alan Yardley

i believe Brian Tamaki is leading a march in the next few weeks. I’ll be honest, I’m not his biggest fan – but credit where it’s due, he’s drawing attention to mass immigration and how the New Zealand way of life many of us grew up with is slowly being eroded.

Here’s the post about it: https://x.com/BrianTamakiNZ/status/1961229481303314677/photo/1

Have you seen UK comedian Dominic Frisby? His YouTube videos are worth watching and spreading. Funny too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsbRrTULpgA

Our biggest problem in NZ is domestic- we have Separatists & Marxists who are hellbent on destroying our unity, peace & potential for prosperity. Our superficial media & politicians invest in these anarchists. Meanwhile our health system totally relies on immigrants from the Phillipines & India so they aren’t the ones causing destruction & division.

You’re right about how heavily our health system relies on immigrant workers, particularly from the Philippines and India. I was at North Shore Hospital last week visiting a mate, and it really struck me that the majority of the nurses on the ward were from overseas.

I don’t have an issue with immigration when people are coming here to fill roles that desperately need to be filled. That’s exactly the kind of contribution that strengthens the country. What we actually need in New Zealand are more doctors, nurses, and health professionals who can take the pressure off an overloaded system. What we don’t need more of are people arriving to drive Ubers or to open another curry shop.

If we’re going to have an immigration system that works for everyone, it should be focused on attracting and retaining skilled workers who provide real value and fill the gaps Kiwis either can’t or won’t take on.

Australian media has a reputation for being far from impartial. I’ve got an add-on on my Kodi media centre that lets me watch live Australian TV, and I usually tune in a few nights a week to watch the chaos.

The Aussie media might be the worst when it comes to bias, but I’ll give them this – their production quality is miles ahead of anything we see in New Zealand news.

You’re right about the immigration lawyers, David. About 12 years ago, my South African partner at the time and I went to see one to try and get her visa extended under a partnership visa. The lawyer more or less guaranteed that she’d be able to stay, but only if we paid his hefty fees. In the end, it was just too expensive, and she had no choice but to return to South Africa.

I heard a very similar story from @simonranderson. If I remember correctly, his friend, a neurosurgeon (I think), was unable to stay in New Zealand and was forced to leave.
