Index HomeOur Government and Nation
The New Zealand Labour Government from 2000-08 was the most wicked government we have ever had. Elected for 3 terms (9 years) because New Zealand is home of the loony left. People in our country apparently are oblivious to good moral character. When President Clinton committed lewd conduct in Office, New Zealander's said, "long as he does his job, his private life doesn't matter'. So for Heads of State in public Office New Zealander's have voted in alcoholics, de facto's, homosexuals, transvestites who are big talkers but morally illiterate. New Zealander's think their 'personal life doesn't matter' but what a person believes certainly does effect their actions. They rewrite our laws.
The Prostitution Law Reform Bill was promoted by the Green Party and the Labour Party (or the Red Party). A private members bill by Labour's Cabinet Minister Tim Barnett (homosexual activist). In parliament when the vote confirmed the law change, parliamentarians shouted for JOY. Yes our Government, CLAPPED and CHEERED when Prostitution was legalized and liberalized.
Parliamentarians said restrictions only drive it "underground". A law change would be "Good for their health" ... "we must remove the stigma". So the Prostitute Collective helped Labour rewrite our laws. Clearly in 2003 Labour (as the government) did not care if your 16 year old visits or is a prostitute. The result today? We have more brothels with less restrictions and younger prostitutes ("20%" under age). Not considered child abuse. Today National Radio promote prostitution with free air time (1/2/2011 10:10am. 35 minutes). While the NZ Herald argue its time to 'put moral values' aside, it was "farcical" of "the Christian Right" to influence the 2003 law. The Auckland City Council believe it's now out of control, but the NZ Herald argue that it's "draconian" restricting "any manifestation of the sex industry from anywhere" (pA7 'Don't turn the clock back on prostitution" 31/1/2011. Brian Rubman).
No legal status alters the fact it's a form of slavery - a crime against the human body. It promotes crime, exploitation, disease, broken marriages, abortions, child abuse, drugs and ruins lives. The old slave-trade with a new face. Only morally bankrupt equate the sale of genitals with the sale of labor. No wonder New Zealand 'leads the world in cases of Syphilis' (Radio NZ National 28/9/04 'News at 12'). Children of prostitutes don't have fathers, they live isolated, shunned lives, they're laughed at and stigmatized. Our media and Governments want more children like this. So the government donates significant financial support from taxpayers to the Prostitute's Collective.
As our country becomes more secular and immoral, brothels will increase. But so will crime, drug abuse and violence. And when you are sick of the violence, get ready for more! Nations that turn away from God find His blessing hard to find.
They call themselves "Honorable Members". The parliament prayer opens - "Seeking Thy guidance in all things..." In reality, they seek God's guidance in nothing.
This country is paying an enormous price for broken marriages and families. "120,000" kids growing up without dads. We need special economic benefits to encourage long term MARRIAGE relationships NOW! All evidence proves male & female parents are best for children and society. Marriage is all about purpose not rights. But governmental departments ignore the words 'husband/wife' preferring 'care-giver' or 'partner'. Our Governments encourage anything dishonoring traditional marriage and families. Helen Clark supported and twice attended homosexual parades promoting indecent and obscene behavior. Why? She said to "celebrate diversity". Our media gave free promotion calling them "Hero Parades". Sexual-perverts called 'Heroes' honored by our PM who was disgusted that our troops might serve in Iraq for the freedom of others. Activists talk about "human rights". What nonsense! Walk around a public supermarket or street, such people are not distinguished by race, skin colour or clothes. No, this is NOT the acceptance of people but their practice and choice. What an example for kids, a homosexual activist as Prime Minister for nine years. She "proudly" "encourage" "promotes" and endorses this behaviour. As seen in a video on this website (since removed). This PM New Zealander's voted for and LOVED!! Journalists never complained!!!
(Homosexuals can and do change http://pfox.org/default.html ask - exodusnz@maxnet.co.nz NOT born that way www.trueorigin.org/gaygene01.asp )
The State should not interfere with the institution of marriage unless to strengthen it. Yet the NZ Labour Party supported the Bill for 'civil unions'. And appointed another homosexual activist (Cabinet Minister Chris Carter) Head of the Select Committee who IGNORED the numerous submissions opposing this bill. Labour in 9 years ignored 3 MASSIVE petitions of signatures. When the vote in Parliament past for 'civil unions' Labour and Green's CLAPPED and CHEERED as men kissed each other. This Government also promoted homosexuality by funding TV programs "Queer Nation' and advertising condoms on TV (with public money) ad's featuring young boy's kissing each other.
Yet there was not one march anywhere in this country for civil unions, prostitution, casinos, or lowering the drinking age.
Labour changed 180 laws, yet they and the activist's still cannot convince us such relationships are 'normal'. Imagine a government BY LAW endeavoring to remove all discrimination against homosexuals, transsexuals, and transvestites? And if you break the law, you go to jail. How sick is that?
Clearly Labour wants kids to grow-up confused, ignorant of natural relationships between male and female. With a life of shame and embarrassment with "parents" who are anything but normal. That's child abuse.
The new PM John Key National Party is no better. Only 2 months in the job, he goes to the 'Gay-Day Out' (8 Feb 09). And promises to ignore 'Citizens Initiated Referendum'. Referendum they don't like are always ignored -
1999... 82% voted for a maximum of 99 MPs.... (ignored)
1999... 92% voted for a more victim-centered justice system.. (ignored)
2009... 87% voted for amending the NEW anti-smacking law.... (ignored)
The nameless New Zealand 'Herald On Sunday' Editor scoffed at the 'March for Democracy' and call for these referendum (21/11/09). Saying "referendum" is 'mob rule' and 'anti-democratic'. After all "both Hitler and Mussolini were populists" (p.97 22/11/09). The Herald Editor is against the right of only some people speaking out. A paper that guards its editor, hides their name and who is normally the most sickly minded liberal they can find. Yet in contradiction this paper pays very, very close attention to polls at election time.
It Will Get Worse!!
Labour appointed a homosexual activist as Minister of Education! Helen Clark called him a 'hard working and conscientious member'. He previously worked as an examiner for the Video Recording Office assessing porn films and wrote to me,
"I teach my children that it doesn't matter who they form a relationship with...That is the kind of New Zealand I am fighting for. I will continue to do so despite your protests...."
How intolerant. He wants that 'kind' of behaviour among kids. But if it "doesn't matter who" what about incest, prostitutes, pedophilia, animals? Nothing is unaceeptable if it "doesn't matter who". He wrote -
"I utterly reject your right to judge me or anyone else like me...."
So he utterly rejects my 'right' to have any other view. Isn't that discrimination? It sounded just as absurd when state funded 'National Radio' introduced queer-talking news commentators (Mr O'Bryan, & Mr Martin).
The Anti-smackers: Most of the Green's and Labour insist smacking causes kids to "grow up violent". They intentionally confused 'beating' with 'smacking' and call it 'violence'. They were silent about kids learning wresting, judo, boxing or karate. Yes for years a network from Primary to High School has existed where hundreds of kids are trained to fight. Government's have spent "millions" in support. Called 'self-defense' (apparently 'good violence'?) but ironically also called 'Social Development' and 'family violence funding' (Western Leader pg1. 19/5/2011). And strangely silent about New Zealands dangerous dog problem - Pit bull Terrier's and Rottweiler's mauling the faces off kids.
But strange logic indeed if children are punished for doing wrong we get more violence. In 1941 the death penalty was abolished but reinstated for murder. And finally abolished again in 1961. We have not become a wiser or higher society, our jails are full. Paradoxically today all physical correction is considered politically incorrect whether corporal, capital or smacking. Removing punishment doesn't help offenders, it removes boundaries. And for a fair-society justice MUST be seen to be done by LAW, regardless of forgiveness, mercy. We have replaced 'punishment' with a wishy-washy social adjustment at cost to justice and the economy. History shows nations with a low severity of punishment develop higher levels of lawlessness and Pacifist Societies shunning 'violence' fall to barbarians.
A smack in the right place, at the right time is not cruel. Punishment without Christian principles is cruel, violent, abusive and ineffective. So today it's become absurd: Parents mustn't smack children for correction (considered violence), yet unborn babies can be killed for convenience (not considered murder). We are not civilized by relaxing correction or punishment. The end result is injustice. If not, remove all forms of punishment and see what happens.
The fact is the anti-smacking legislation is simply anti-parent. In 2007 NZ Parliament removed the right to use reasonable force to physically discipline children for correction. Despite assurances to the contrary, families have been torn apart, accused of lying and dragged through the courts. Good parents who lightly smack their kids are criminalized - facing criminal convictions - paying thousands to courts.Sex Education: Now we have 4 year olds 'playing out adult sex acts in the play ground' (The NZ Herald. p.a9. 9/6/05). Is 'sex education' the answer? That started years ago targeting teenagers with high sounding intentions. It became 'non-judgmental' (not 'imposing views on others') then became a free condom hand-out. Today its called 'obscenity in the class room.' We're had this increasingly explicit graphitic comprehensive sex education in schools for years. Why is sexually explicit material (R18 R20) presented to teenagers in the name of "education"? This is child abuse. Why the need to shock, shame and embarrass kids? The problem of abortions, STD's is increasing, today our stats are almost the world's worst. Why? Family Planning and the National Radio "Panel" insist its because of "the religious conservative" who are critical of contraception. The solution, they say, "more education" and "more condoms" (National Radio, 'The Panel' 4/4/07 4:30).
ANYTHING obscene or offensive today will likely be accepted tomorrow.
'Oh, that would never happen?'. Not so, it has already. Once society was shocked. 'Its unlawful', then it's 'tolerated'. Then it's demanded to be accepted. Finally taxpayers money and law-changes promote what was once considered obscene and those offended are now punished. Since 2008 some school authorities have even started encouraging homosexual clubs in schools. There's always implications down the road. Something even more vulgar comes along, even YOU are shocked yet powerless. Because he foolish law changes years ago always have unexpected consequences. It's obvious how fashions, magazines and movies have changed over the years. There's no going back. Given this fact, the future is terrifying based on today's trends. Any abnormal sexual relationship will become acceptable. And HOW DARE YOU be so bigoted, judgmental, intolerant or complain.
Same-sex Adoption: Today we have problems unknown just 50 years ago. There's plenty of evidence that if infants lack good role models they will have problems in life. If same sex parents their character is severely affected. Brain development is unable to distinguish or learn the fundamentals of normal male or female behaviour. Many things are impossible to learn by dictatorial instruction. Children model adult behaviour. But with two women, neither can be a father. With two men neither can be a mother. Depriving children of mother and father breaks down the fundamentals of a decent society. All "openness and acceptance" of abnormal sexual behaviour causes a breakdown. For we know child abusers often re-offend and victims might possible abuse others, or grow-up hurt and sexually confused. A generation cycle exhibiting similar behavior.
A 'same-sex adoption law' will condemn innocent children to a life of 'care givers' who are anything but normal. At school - 'Johnny what's your daddy do for a living? Poor Johnny is embarrassed if he has 2 mothers or 2 fathers. Its cruel and inhuman to take a child and place them in such a situation that would result in perverting their sexuality and robbing them of a normal life. Such people don't care about kids, only themselves.
That's why The Labour Party who know this, have voted against family policies repeatedly (Note their Rainbow Labour supporters) "The kind of New Zealand" they are 'fighting for... despite your protests'. Labour's Phil Goff wanted to de-criminalize sexual behavior between 12 & 16 year olds. What are they about? Steve Maharey - "We see this as an historic election. It's the one we hope when we decisively put to bed the conservative vote in this country. We came in to change the direction of the country". Yet they avoid Question Time in the Debating Chamber when in trouble. Sitting Days of the House are few as they trip around the world.
Former Cabinet Minister John Tamihere described his time inside Labour. "If you're a free and independent spirit, very dangerous".... "I tell you what if I was on the other side mate, I'd have cut ^#%!! Labour to pieces over moral issues". The PM was surrounded by lesbians and "a lot of her support systems are". She's "very comfortable in that world". He said Labour was "infiltrated" with feminists and homosexuals. And that effected "key policy and decision making processes....skews things... (and) they are trying to make men think and act like them". It's all "social engineering". Homosexuals "harangue" and "threaten" those who differ. Tamihere said, "I've got a right to think that sex with another male is unhealthy and violating. I've a right to think that". And the Crown? There's no "such a thing as a Crown that exists in NZ constitution..... It's a myth. It's run by prime ministerial dictate, full stop". And the media? "they're utterly and totally useless" with "no investigative journalism..." "in an information age we're got more ignorant people out there than there's ever been" (p.32-37 Investigate. April 2005). The news media responded to Tamihere's comment with scorn, selectively quoting, ignoring most. And said he has a "serious personality disorder" (National Radio, 12/4/05 11:30. A better name would be "Labour Radio"). Clark claimed Tamihere was drunk, and ordered him on 'stress leave' demanding an apology.
Indeed, Labour's Electoral Finance Bill was to stop 'the religious right' speaking out on moral issues at election time.
Alcohol.
Another plague in this country, New Zealanders worship their drink.
History records mans struggle with alcohol, 1750s, 1829s and 1930s. In every country with a liberal law, alcohol is a 'curse'. It has always fueled riots and hooliganism world-wide, nothing's changed today but attitudes.
Any government soft on alcohol invites trouble as “Crime and alcohol go hand in hand". It's fruit, “vandalism, harassment, threats, physical assault, kids out of control, intimidation, rioting, child abuse, high levels of domestic violence and predatory sexual behaviour”.
Today it's now a problem impossible to solve. Restrictions are criticized [and ignored] and legislation is so liberal we have problems unheard of just 40 years ago like underage binge drinking (kids 16-13 even 10). It's the most damaging drug in this country. In 2003 '$2-3 billion dollars worth of economic and social harm each year'. In 2009 NZ consumed '300 million liters of beer'. Today we have Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation clinics up and down the country, as NEVER before [more are needed]. In 2011 "...80% of crime is alcohol or drug related.... costs the country around $6.8 billion per-year". In 2011 just the summer street brawls cost $2.8 million in ACC claims (4030 cases reported). In 2012 'Drug courts' will be set up costing $94,000 a year. Yet there's only about 4 MILLION PEOPLE in New Zealand. It gets worse because drinkers legislate the drinking (imagine Heroin addicts legislating Heroin?)
New Zealand doesn't have a minimum legal drinking age but a minimum purchase age. New Zealand Labour in 1999 is responsible for wreaking kids lives by lowering the drinking age to 16. A recycled problem for the next generation. The younger the more likely kids become addicted and greater damage. Yet both National and Labour signed a Death Warrant. Our politicians are big drinkers, with their State Funded dinners and free travel. What silly comments made in the Debating Chamber, ''We mustn't spoil the fun of many because of a few”. Labour's Ruth Dyson (ex-Minister for ACC) voted to lower the age and ironically was arrested for drunk-driving (yet voted back into parliament regardless). And today National Party (the alcohol party) ignore the problem, PM John Key says "more research is needed." Key another liberal lefty.
Years ago journalists (NZ Herald) laughed and mocked at "teetotalers", saying "the world won't end - the sky won't fall down”. But it did for those killed on the roads, their families - those with a life-long addiction, the victims of violence, those suffering child abuse, jail, brain damage and loss of employment. If 'prohibition doesn't work', then why not remove restrictions on drinking and driving?
Multi-million dollar Liqueur lobbies convinced our tax-eager, morally literate government to change laws. Money drunk Liqueur companies say you should ‘drink moderately, so you live longer’. So logically you consume more and they profit. They are profit rich and our government tax rich. The government has 'invested millions' of tax payer dollars in the wine "industry" with special laws to increase wine production, export and consummation.
But most New Zealander's don't care they worship the bottle. 50% of kids are provided alcohol by parents who love their “good bottle of wine” and their "quiet drink”. Some want to 'normalize' it. How can you 'normalize' what after consumption makes you fall over, or drive a car and kill someone? Drinkers are renown to reward themselves with special venues of 'free-drinks' via the tax-payer, business or social-club expense. If marijuana was legal it would be free marijuana. With this pathetic attitude, no wonder our media rarely blame alcohol for ruined lives, health problems, violence, vandalism and broken families. Be sure whatever tinkering to the law, binge drinking will remain a long term problem and the real cost under reported.
Government lobbyists don't want to stop children drinking, just drink less. Years ago they said normalization and public acceptance means drunkenness will disappear. They see no reason to protect kids or make it harder to obtain. But rather take 'soft-drinks' out of schools because of 'high sugar' levels, rather than stop kids drinking. Now we have 'school balls' providing alcohol for kids.
Years ago the old teetotallers were right - "Making alcohol more available and accessible will increase abuse". It has and it did!! Today, "80% of prisoners have an alcohol problem". And it's "the chief cause of vitamin deficiency among civilized people..." (The Vitamin Bible). Strange how the hype over 'red wine' is silent about red grape juice. If red wine is so wonderful, why not trumpet red grape juice?
The brainwashing ad’s on television say, "It's not the drinking, it's the way we're drinking". How silly, because "drinking" is the problem! Drinking in moderation is not the solution to the problem; it is the main cause of it. How else do people get drunk? Alcohol numbs the mind (it also kills brain cells) once the mind is clouded, the drinker continues drinking. In effect, the ad says, "It’s not the drug, ‘it's the way’ we're drugged" Ie 'It's not the cocaine we must "ease back" on the cocaine.
Successive governments have legalized and liberalized excessively, TV now run shock stories about the road carnage but nothing about the recent discovery alcohol causes Breast Cancer in women. Experts insist, "no amount of alcohol is fully safe..."
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7906355.stm
Once liberal laws are legislated, it is almost impossible to reverse long term damage. So its a leech sucking the blood of our country and people, leaving an ugly scar. Drinkers, go a day with out it. Go a week. Go a month. Don’t let the filthy stuff control your life. You won't be sorry. Life has enough problems, drinking solves none. God can help you break free, He has with many.
Gambling.
Another nightmare our governments promote. A vice once established, rings the neck of a nation and burdens it's back. Promoted FREE by 99% of all NZ media particularly on Melbourne Cup and Addington Cup days.
Gambling is a sign of greed and the superstitious hoping to ‘get lucky’. A religious 'love of money', a 'root of evil'. The underlying principle is of gambling is people wanting what is not theirs and what they didn't work for (Lk.23:34).
The NEW word for gambling is 'gaming' and today all money is considered good money. Our Governments have appointed a 'Ministers of Racing', who passed laws promoting TAB Horse Racing. So the TAB have given money promoting political parties. Labour 'invested' 150 million in Sky Casino and gambled millions of tax payers dollars on the America's Cup (to win) and they lost it.
Our governments want all forms of gambling to increase!!! So some dirty money is legally channeled off to promote more gambling. Politicians pushed for casinos and increased all forms of gambling to copy 'other countries', but we were never asked. There was not one street march anywhere in the country for Casinos. Politicians claimed the new liberal laws would be 'signs of a mature society' and "make money and jobs". And 'good' for "charities". So what happened? It increased crime, gave the country a even greater gambling problem and broken people from legalized stealing. Gamblers in a trance-like state of mind controlled by machines in a vain hope to get rich. I knew this would happen!
Our liberal loony-left media are silent about the cost in ruined lives and broken families. In fact the bigger the gambling event the greater free publicity by the media. Even if they sound a warning, nothing is done. So the real cost is under reported. The loser's are the gamblers, their families, their future, and our society - Only about 4.5 million people in NZ but "$1.87 billion was lost by gambling in 2003" - "$8.4 billion in 2004" - in 2005 "lost $2.027 billion through all forms of gambling".
The real social economic costs however are unknown. Now have more accessible and liberal gambling facilities - the corner book-shop, the local dairy and supermarket, while radio, TV and newspapers all encourage it. Yet charities are now complaining, they are getting less of the dirty money. Sorry but gambling will get worse in our country and destroy our people. For our governments and media are mentally unable to see the connection between gambling, alcohol and poverty.
“A greedy person tries to get rich quick, but it only leads to poverty”. Prov.28:22.
“Such is the fate of all who are greedy for gain. It ends up robbing them of life”. Prov.1:19
The only answer is in Christ. He alone can transform the heart, and free the mind from deception. And remove the burdens that plague a soul.
Standards?
The Broadcasting Standards Authority (have no standards)
The Indecent Publication Tribunal needed to be set up in 1963 to determine increasing indecency in books. Today it (and the Film & Literature Board of Review) have a liberal agenda. The BSA have no standards, they are slow to act, act dumb, play games and neglect their duty. And find themselves in the High Court as a result.
Classification Office fails its statutory duties. Extremely evil videos are submitted. To them the word "objectionable" is subject to interpretation. Eg., "brutal sexual violence and necrophilia" are now considered "entertainment". The end result is normalization, legitimization and desensitization. In a movie if someone is brutally beaten and raped because they did it to others, it's allowed to be seen. The lesson "just deserts are meted out" (par.131Court 28/3/02.) In 2009 the decriminalisation of porn opened a loophole allowing pornographers to target ANY AGE providing the advertisement is not pornographic in itself (Advertising Standards Authority decision (18/034 re. Vixen Direct promotional vehicle).
The previous Chief Film Sensor Bill Hastings (homosexual activist) "allowed more porn to pass than any other in the history of his office". Aided and supported by successive New Zealand governments on a $180-190,000 salary. For "20 YEARS" he watched extreme hard-core of the worse kind and said "studies show that repeated exposure to violence and sexual violence had an adverse effect on attitude..." but he became utterly corrupt, banning videos considered "anti-gay". Previously his office never had the ability to ban free speech. But he couldn't interpret the law correctly because of his advocacy of homosexuality. "I suppose everybody brings to the job a little of what they are" (Radio New Zealand, National. 11:25. 30/11/04). Those who objected, he called "intolerant, fundamentalist and bigots" (gaynz.com). Finally in 2010 he decided to retire.
Long before then he was desensitized to toxic material and denied it. In contradiction said, "the harm normally comes from a diet where you see the same kind of violent acts over and over" (Dominion Post 2/11/02). He suffered "over-exposure", sleaze didn't worry him.
Deputy Chief Censor. For over 2 years Labour's Minister George Hawkins failed his Statutory Duty to appoint a Deputy Censor so was prosecuted in court. Out of spite, he appointed a lesbian activist Nic McCully as Deputy (on a $140 -105,000 salary) still in office today. Her only prior job experience was briefly a teachers aid (junior level). Now for years has viewed all manner of explicit material. "It's a myth that watching all these horrible things makes you blasé about them. You're more likely hyper-sensitive" ('Watching the Defectives' p.5-6 The Star Times 13/8/06). So why do we need more? They are utterly helpless and useless to stop the tidy wave flooding this country. Unlike the Office of Film and Literature Classification, which had prescriptive legislation to direct its work, she insists the BSA has a less definite framework to operate within. So only concerned with what might cause "injury to the public good." So if you "...don't like it... turn it off or change the channel." (NZ Herald 25 Jan 2012)
Successive Ministers of Internal Affairs fail their statutory duties. So pleased with all this they reappointed the whole Classification Office. Finally 22/12/1010 we have a new chief censor Dr Andrew Jack. But in all honesty, the only people really concerned about decency in this country are a few 'born again' Christians (who Helen Clark PM called "extreme"). So taxpayers are currently subsidizing the examination, classification and registration of hundreds of sleazy hardcore porn videos per year. Why doesn't the sleaze 'industry' and distributors cover ALL costs? The millions of dollars used to subsidize the 'sex industry' should go to hospitals.
Porn works like this. Public official watches porn. Soon no longer shocked. He thinks there's no harm and watches more. One day he announces our laws are old fashion. ‘All discrimination against homosexuals must stop’. We're shocked at this coming from him. Now he will crusade and discriminate against anything consider pure and decent.
Disappearing Standards: The BSA decided [1/11/2010
] that public free to air TV channels can now show full frontal nudity in news coverage as long as its deemed humourous. Any complaints? They will throw them out. No wonder we are drowning in sleazy literature in Gas stations, local Supermarkets, street corner shops, Books shops, Video stores and public Libraries. Even our local corner milk and bread shops sell porn and encourage gambling while you buy 'milk and bread'.Free to air TV stations (TV.1, TV.2, TV.3, Prime TV) are drowning viewers with a diet of increasing filth. As if we are all perverts who can't get enough of their mindless trash. If you are dumb, you'll love "Shortland Street", it's the dumbest program to ever come out of Television New Zealand. If you don't believe anybody can be so dumb, you have not met the management of TV3. They allowed the "f" word during children's programs and protested before the Broadcasting Standards "Its hard to see how anyone can be up set" (National Radio. 12.10, 20/4/1011, Lawyer for TV3). Advertising on TV and radio is increasingly vulgar, reflecting the dirty minded idiots who write it. If TV broadcast a "Christian" program, they insist it "doesn't reflect the views of this channel". But lewd programs are relentlessly promoted and boasted as "only on" our channel and you "must watch".
In Jan., 2012 the new BSA chairman Peter Radich said standards of good taste and decency were changing..."The pace of change is quickening and this is partly through the influence that the unregulated internet has…. Some people find the pace of change unsettling…” But not him.
Offended

Lower standards have their consequences: In Queensland (Aust) they now have 'more sex shops than supermarkets' and a "dramatic rise in sex crimes committed by young children" (p.15 'The Sunday Mail' 28th Sept. 08).
Churches.
God is not welcomed in our country nor His standards in our traditional churches. The NZ Weekend Herald (B16 18-19/04) reported homosexuality as a scandal in Christianity. What nonsense!!! The liberal Methodist, Presbyterian and NZ Anglican churches today embrace any 'loving relationship'. The Anglican Bishop of Christchurch (Rt Rev. Victoria Mathews) wants more practicing homosexuals "in the church" and with "blessing" (p.11 Weekly Challenge 31/3/08). These churches ignore that "80% of child sexual abuse is from male homosexuals" (Labour's Lianne Dalziel MP homosexual activist 2/12/04. Parliament House).
The NZ Methodists have practicing homosexuals as licensed ministers since 1997. Almost electing a practicing Lesbian as their church "President" [2006 the Rev Diana Tana]. They formed a covenant with Anglicans, so both can promote and encourage "greater diversity of society...with the issues of sexuality". And "explore uncomfortable questions" and accept "each others members" and "ordained ministers". Methodists (2009) have decided that they will now "ordain openly gay and lesbian". Their church people can "state opposition to it but not block such ordinations" (p.11 Challenge Weekly 19/1/09).
Over one third of the NZ Presbyterian leadership are in favor of similar ordinations. Some Anglican Bishops realise the ordinations are out of control (Mar. 2007). The ordained become militant (note the militancy of this Minister of the Crown). Bishops however, are unable to stop ordinations which are after all 'outside marriage relationships'. And wrong biblically, theologically and constitutionally to start with. The bishops have allowed their churches to be over taken and "prefer schism" than a return to decency.
The "ordained" homosexual clergy develop an intolerant agenda, they (1) criticize objectors (2) preach sermons by their example (3) encourage all to embrace their 'life style'. Consistency demands churches must bless and encourage such relationships or condemn, because acceptance leads to endorsement. So sodomy, once unlawful, is welcomed in churches (ie Anglican, Methodist) once bastions of purity. Weak or immoral churches have serious consequences for social services in this country.
It was surprising to read "Anglican, Presbyterian, AOG, Brethren, Apostolic church leaders welcome brothels next to their places of worship" (p.1 Challenge Weekly 20/9/04). Yet few 'evangelical' Christians are vocal about decency. They're told 'the Church and State should be separate'... "stay out of politics". Christian you have "no right to impose your views on others". Really? So if someone steals you have 'no right' to speak out? No wonder evil prospers. The belief of Atheism doesn't separate its religion from politics.
Look how Labour honoured Lloyd Geering. He was excommunicated by the Presbyterian General Assembly (as "a heretic" 1967) he offended many (with "doctrinal heresy"). So he received an honorary doctorate from Otago Univ. (1976). An honorary CBE (1988) and in 2006 the highest award "The Order of New Zealand". He said, "I didn't feel I'd done anything to deserve it at all". But someone did. His antiChristian beliefs were rewarded. What great social, caring organization has he started? What great advance in religious understanding? None.
Political Correctness.
Much of the New Zealand news media are so politically left its impossible for them to be unbiased. They don't provide all the news, at times just half a story or make a story! They superficially dress news and comment with a loaded agenda. On moral issues you can't believe almost anything they say. After selectively reporting, what THEY regard 'news' (in THEIR opinion) they re-interpret it without balance. At times so PC they are dishonest. When presenting news, the commentators & reports are always selected from the loony left with heaps of patsy questions. Our media never have a problem interviewing the political left. Who (by the way) are always armchair experts in hind-sight and over-simplification. And of course, NEVER have an ANSWER to the worlds problems yet given plenty of free air time.
Our news media wouldn't embarrass some but couldn't careless for others. They never embarrassed Labour's transvestite politician calling him (her) a 'transvestite' and never used the word. It's remarkable they also never use the word 'homosexual' for politicians, its always 'gay'. The word 'gay' is a lie. It should be "homosexual", such people are not necessarily 'happy', why not use correct language? Don't be fooled by quaint slang. Slang words deceive. Some claim happiness, but certainly not all. Many carry a life long persecution complex. Abused as kids they can't hide their mental and psychological shame. As adults they will sue anyone - Priest, Pastor, Church as they grieve over past events and their hurt. And yet if Priests, teachers etc they will continue their abuse. So the word 'gay' is a lie. The media selectively apply words like "victim"and love to trumpet stories about 'discrimination' but in comparison Christians murdered for their belief are ignored.
In fact, why is it acceptable to offend Christians? Our national news media, TV & radio, have NEVER allowed ridicule of Islam or Maori, only Christians. They're naturally silent about Christians unless to insult. The impression is that only Christians sexually abuse children because they focus on that. In fact, the news media TV1 & TV3 [Tweedle-One & Tweedle-Three] and newspapers gathered publicly to apologize to Muslim's if offended when covering the Muhammad Cartoon Story (6.00 TV3 News 8/2/06). They would NEVER apologize to Christians for offending them at ANY time, for ANY reason, about ANY thing.
(It puzzles me. Why can't the media use the correct word "Allah" when reporting Islamic terrorism, instead of "God"? The Islamic terrorist insist 'ALLAH is the one true god and Muhammad is his prophet' and "There is no god but Allah". The terror is in Allah's name, NOT the Jewish or Christian God.)
$80 million" of tax payers money to help it grow (12/06).(1) State FUNDED Owned TV1 Nov.3 2005 7.00 'Close Up'. Exclusive: TV ONE. They hid a camera crew outside a church and set-up a homosexual protestor (with a hidden microphone) to provoke those going to church. He was seeking an argument, calling-out - "hypocrites... narrow minded" etc. Church Ushers came out to move him aside from the church DOOR. The TV.1 camera crew jumped out of their hiding place, ran over with their camera rolling trying to embarrass, and criticize - "the church had no right to remove him". A TV ONE ambush calculated and contrived, the intention to publicly embarrass Christians who differ from TV ONE's sick view of morality. So pleased with TVNZ Labour gave it "
(2) Election Night (17/9/05 9:25-30) TV3 broadcaster ridiculed "the gospel", "Jesus Christ", "God" & "Christians in politics" in a calculated and blatant 2-3 minute broadcast item (made & produced by TV3) intended to make people like me a joke and scorn. That was their views on their channel. The most blatant mock of Christians I have ever seen on TV. Oh yes they hate people like me. With my views I'm an enemy of the State.
(3) TV One
News 1/1/2010:
New Year’s celebration report… Last night 100’s arrested… alcohol problems
but police are ‘happy’. News item: Helen Clark awarded 'The Order of New
Zealand'... TV One gushing with praise showing historical footage of her student
activism and protest years. Video showed her helping woman by speaking up for
abortion rights, and 20 seconds later suggested NZ is now a much safer place for
all... (but not the unborn?) By the way, she was also seen publicly spiting at
our troops returning home from Vietnam (this has not shown on TV for years). News item:: A
problem gambling news item… followed by a lotto add. News item: International…
Those poor misunderstood Palestinians bombed again by those nasty Israeli's.
News item: Sports… NZ's leading sports mystic makes his predictions for 2010.
(4) TV3 'Campbell Live' (1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4/3/2010 6.30) broadcasted exclusive reports on 'Destiny Church' Australia (experiencing division). TV3's primary complaint? Destiny and its leaders are money hungry. Yes true. Some churches are money-rich and others beg. But Campbell Live is inconsistent. The Waitakere City Council open their buildings and our pockets by funding and promoting homosexual orientation events with rate payers money (6th Mar. in Council buildings & parks). The Western Leader (local newspaper) provides them free publicity (pg.3 25/2/2010). Its a free choice to attend church and donate. But not when YOUR local body Council decide to take YOUR rates to encourage sexual perversion in YOUR community. In fact, our local Councils have spent over $20.000 of our rates to run 'Porn Parades' as if they're community events.
TV3 briefly took on a new role as guardians of moral purity condemning Pastors who have 'extravagant' holidays. What a joke!! In this short role and revealing their support for Labour's transvestite, they utilized her(?) hatred of Christians to broadcast their "Exclusive" criticism of a church Pastor (TV3 6.00 News & TV3 News 10.00. 9/3/06). In reality, it's the broadcaster TV.3 who are the immoral hypocrites and continually dish-up never ending sickly TV programs. Both TV1 & TV3 have gone to court to show sex scenes. If there is any indecent and filthy program, they will find it, buy, advertise, promote, praise and re-run it.
Overseas.
I applaud America's effort (laying down their lives for the freedom of others and at cost to themselves) by removing Saddam Hussein. What an impressive goal to restore and rebuild Iraq for the Iraqi people! Today 28 million Iraqis live in freedom. The US military remains the worlds largest and most effective mercy agency. Who do we thank? Certainly not the news media of our country, they were nothing but critical. They kept quiet about about the reality of the situation and went to war with what they called "Bush" and an "illegal war". Their never-ending list of armchair critics over emphasized an 'oil war' and "WMD's". US troops instead found massive grave yards (over 200). The coalition toppled a dictator who invaded countries, funded TERRORISM (paying families of suicide bombers who killed Israelis) and would use innocent foreign citizens as human shields to hide behind. But Hussein DID have chemical and biological weapons and used them against Iran. Millions died in that war. He also killed almost 200,000 Kurds (2 million fled their homes from his armies) and killed "100 thousand Shiite's in the South". He even personally killed political opponents. He desired nuclear weapons (remember?) but Israel bombed his endeavor in 1980. His personal doctor (Ala Bashir) described him as "cruel... no sense of love... believed in cultic powers... violent". He was one of the most profound killers in history and his removal was imperative.
To spare himself, he agreed to disarm WMD's. Yet for 12 years, as a threat to peace, he systematically violated that agreement pursuing intercontinental missiles. And he offered no evidence chemical or biological weapons were removed. The inspectors in his country were delayed and hindered. While camera's were illegal for Iraqis and men forced into the military.
Iraqi leaders admitted 3.9 tons of VX poison gas in an undisclosed location. The "Iraq Survey Group" although hindered and opposed did find "hundreds of cases of activities that were prohibited" under UN Security Council resolutions. And claimed "a clandestine network of chemical and biological weapons programs". After the invasion US troops did find tons of explosives, guns, gasmasks, and ammunition. And chemicals 'camouflaged in military bunkers 6 feet under ground' that could be used to produce weapons. Oh, but they 'could be used' for agricultural purposes too, so our loony left news media ignored it. After the invasion Iraqi people uncovered mass-graveyards of bodies, clothes, children's bones, and thousands of pictures of people tortured to death. Iraqis claim "millions" were executed and some graveyards will never be discovered. At his trial Hussein admitted, "Iraq is full of mass graveyards". These were KEPT SECRET in NEW ZEALAND by our MEDIA.
The UN claim their Resolutions are "legally binding", but Saddam ignored them. Yet our news media and MP's criticized the Iraqi liberation as an "illegal war". So which war has ever been 'a legal war'? Apparently a dictator can kill truck loads and its 'legal'? Was gassing Kurd's, torture chambers, death squads, kidnapping children, invading Kuwait, or ignoring UN Resolutions "legal"? Was a nuclear Hussein unimportant? For years our media and government called it "the war". A silly title from silly people who have never known a real war. An ideological tag of convenience insulting soldiers of WW1 & 2. Saddam and his sons were WMD's and would be still in power today wiping out their enemies (with nuclear weapons and long range missiles) if our New Zealander media and politicians had their way!!
Month after month Helen Clark, the Labour Party, Green Party, "Radio New Zealand National" (Labour Radio) and the New Zealand Herald criticized the US and Bush but ignored reality. They are guilty of dissectible ignorance and anti-Americanism. In Baghdad one could walk in off the street, sit down and watch 'enemies' of the state get tortured. Our MEDIA cared nothing about "torture" until Guantanamo Bay became their fixation. Our GOVERNMENT didn't lift a finger to help Iraqis.
Traditionally the wooly-left wouldn't endanger their lives for anyone. But if the New Zealand government was really serious about "the war", why didn't they break off diplomatic relations with Australia in protest? No, in hypocrisy they past a motion unanimously for the freedom of the Iranian people (23/6/09) they never past for Iraqis. And cold toward Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi compared to Saddam Hussein. They are a shame and disgrace.
It was priceless to see Blair, Bush and Howard resolute and united. But a disgrace Helen Clark insulted President Bush refusing to apologize (just expressed regret). Imagine if Bush was successful and democratic movements spring to life throughout the region?
No one wanted war when Hitler reoccupied the Rhineland (but he could have been stopped in 1936). And stopped in 1938 after marching into Austria and in 1939 when invading Poland. German Generals insisted Hitler could have been stopped then, 'with a few weeks of sudden and sustained aggression'. But no! Not until May 1940 after the Germans broke through the Ardenne was war fully realized (too late). If a dictator loves big armies, is a murder and invades other countries, do nothing and learn a painful lesson.
The nameless New Zealand Herald Editor revealed their ignorance by condemning the US over Hussein's execution. I was amazed he didn't support Col. Gaddafi during Libyan uprising. Our loony left news media are anti-American, anti-Israel... anti-Christian... anti-Bush... anti-smacking and pro-abortion, homosexuality, alcohol (in moderation), gambling, prostitution, Obama, Islam and feminism. These are the issues they are known to push and promote.
Our news media were still angry (even in 2010) with the coalition against terrorism broadcasting one-sided news reports. Apparently for them, this was the longest "war" in history, but now officially over. Yes not until 2009 our media finally stopped using the title 'The War in Iraq'. So where were you when the 'war ended'? Our news media cared nothing for the death of US soldiers, but displayed a 'non-judgmental' almost devilish attitude toward terrorism. Bush was the best President since Lincoln, Blair since Churchill, but Helen Clark was the worst Prime Minister in living history.
Yes New Zealander's LOVE a loony left government. And the more wicked, the better they like it. Whenever Clark uttered a word the media jumped to broadcast it. The average New Zealander is a simple chap, long as he can go to the supermarket and drive his car around, he doesn't think. Or ask the big questions about life. Money is King in this land, and that's all that matters. So we get the government we deserve.
At home
6,000 submissions were made against the Civil Union Bill, 91% against it. That's right! How did you guess? - the Labour government ignored them. They didn't give a toss. They appointed a homosexual Head of their committee to change the law. 23rd August in Wellington "10,000 Christians" marched on Parliament protesting the 'civil union bill' (homosexual marriage by another name). 'We are allowed to march but I'm sure the Government would love to stop us' (News Talk ZB radio). The marchers supported the rights of children, for traditional parents and marriage - man and woman. The PM 'Helen Clark' said they have "extreme views" (TV.1 News 6.00 23/8/04) Few politicians took notice, but two from Labour exploded with anger on the steps of Parliament shouting a tirade of insults at the "Christians". The news media focused on the clothes of Pastor Brian Tamaki (the march spokesman) and ignored the male politician swearing/cursing the marchers, wearing woman's clothes (Georgina Transvestite Beyer - Labour Party).
The left-wing media (TV1 & TV3) endeavored to discredit the march. Any news-junky knows a twisted story. TV1 and TV3 gave us a disgraceful and selective news report. The man calling the Christians "Nazis" and "fascists" was an old friend of the Labour Party homosexual Tim Barnett. He traveled from Christchurch to Wellington against the march. TV1/TV3 interviewed him, but wouldn't allow the marchers a word. And didn't broadcast the organized protest against the march, so people could see their spitting, 'finger' signs and swearing.
In contrast TV3's News coverage of the "hikio" Maori" march up Queen St., gave the kindest possible report they never gave the 'Christian' march in 2004. These reports viewed together reveal the massive hypocrisy within the TV3 News room (TV.3 25/5/09 6.00 news).
Another march for family values in Auckland (5/3/05 about '15,000'). A few tried to stop the march, by blocking Queen Street and shouting obscenities. Some were arrested & women bared their breasts, likely the only reason they were shown the news item. But the New Zealand Herald (front-page) was so "one-sided", people complained to the Editor for weeks afterwards (even 15th March). They said calling it "one sided would be too polite". They called it "ridiculous reporting", "aimed at discrediting the march", "a slanderous article". One wrote "I wonder what event reporters were reporting on". What's annoying is that "The New Zealand Herald" would be the first to criticize Christians if they committed any offense. In time the Herald paper is past news, but this will stay on the internet for years. Think about that Herald editor.
The Answer
There was a time in New Zealand murder was shocking. No longer, 2006 was called "the year of murders". Things that once concerned us don't any more. Some agree there is evil today, but our society can't even agree on what's 'wicked'. Kid's are growing up accepting evil as normal. We have just started on a down hill slope, things are going to get REAL bad in our country. In the years to come standards will continue down hill.
Regardless, 'our society' is everything we would expect based on what the bible says about the fallen nature in man. 'Our people' have rejected our Creator, and don't know Him. The further away, the worse society becomes, more confusion abounds, the less meaning life has. The one underlying problem is a 'spiritual problem'. All have a tendency towards evil. Recognizing this is the first step, knowing the answer the second, and third taking action. There is only one action to take. What's your answer to the problem? I know the One who is the Answer.
