New Zealand’s Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh and Islamic councils have issued an ‘election ultimatum’ demanding every party promise hate speech policies, highlighting the ethnic voting bloc as a significant 18.4% of the population.

The push followed a video from Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki urging New Zealand to ‘purge’ Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims and burn mosques and temples ‘tit for tat,’ which he cast as reciprocity for Christians’ persecution in India.



Ethnic Communities Minister Mark Mitchell branded it as the “actions of a scared bully,” while Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he was “not interested”. Human rights barrister Scott Sheeran said Tamaki’s remarks broke no New Zealand law. Tamaki called it a “power grab,” insisting free speech “must remain protected”.

  1. Tamaki is not a ‘scared bully’ for stating a fact. He is a good man. Shame on Mark Mitchell.
    As for Luxon – he’s just a little protege of Key busily following the globalist plan to destroy a country.
    How I hate them for what they have done to New Zealand.

    • Fully agree 100%. The Globalist politicians have absolutely wrecked New Zealand and our “culture”. I hope they all rot in hell to be honest because that’s where they deserve to be.

    • Brian Tamaki should be free to speak his backward views. Then the populace can see who actually agrees with his thoughts and laugh at them.

      He is not a good man. He is a bigot and racist.

      New Zealand will need people of Indian and middle eastern origin to prop up the population going forward.

      • We don’t “need” Indian or middle eastern people.why are they even here? They need us more than we need them. The only thing we ‘need’ is to get our lazy dole bludgers off their arses. If they do come here they most certainly shouldn’t be bringing their cultural issues with them and expecting to have mosques etc. this is a Christian country. If you want to practice your ways do it in YOUR country.

  2. New Zealand’s Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh and Islamic councils have issued an ‘election ultimatum, sorry if your not happy then f@ck off back to your own banana republic.

    • Na mate, WE are not happy about them even issuing any ultimatum.
      Bloody oath, THEY are guests here, wtf!
      These ‘leaders’ of ethnic/religios minorities ARE RESPONSIBLE for any populist backlash on actions like that.
      Are THEIR communities prepared to face that backlash?
      I am really havin enough of up-to-now tolerated foreigners tearing Godzone apart…with the help of the lot in the wasp nest.

  3. I too am concerned about this, and Tamaki’s calling it out and should be listened to, and this situation of installing ‘Hate Speech’ which violates not only Domestic NZ Law, but also International Law shall not be entertained, implemented or adhered to!
    Hate Speech Laws are what you do to shut-up the majority population and shut-out Free Speech in order to gain political and/or economic advantages!

    MAYBE BRIAN TAMAKI WILL JOIN THE NEW ZEALAND LOYAL PARTY AND RUN FOR A SEAT IN PARLIAMENT!

  4. Step 1: Mix religions and cultures that have been in conflict for centuries into a small naïve country in statistically meaningful numbers.
    Step 2: Sit back and watch what happens.

  5. Yet another reason to limit immigration. If you don’t like democracy, feel free to run back to the oppressive regimes, you came here to escape from. I will add, trying on vote blackmail, looks a lot like the hate you claim to abhor.

    As for Brian, does anyone take him seriously anymore?

    • Globy, I get that you’re not a fan of Brian, but can we really afford to be spilt right now, before we’ve even stopped this beehive madnees? That’s gotta be priority #1. If we’re lucky, New Zealand can sort out our differences after that.
      And if you think about it, history shows that revolutions aren’t won by one single ideology. Usually, a bunch of different groups team up to kick out corruption, and then the people decide how things should go once they’re free.

      • If you support Israel, you are no friend of mine or even an acquaintance. Its worth mentioning too, Israel’s support for Kiev.

  6. He’s got a point – Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh? – Islam wants them converted or killed after they’ve genocided the Jews and finished off the Christians. They’ve never denied it – not in 1200 years have they ever denied it. Actually they’re proud of it and then again I haven’t seen Buddhists flying planes into buildings or raping young white girls.

      • Please no fake/skewed news here: Pol Pot was raised as a Buddhist (true) and spent 18 months as a novice monk in Phnom Penh, but his regime enforced state atheism and systematically persecuted the religion. He ordered the destruction of temples, the execution of approximately 63% of the monkhood, and the forced disrobing of survivors.
        However, and you are right here, despite Buddhism’s commitment to non-violence, the 21st century has witnessed a rise in Buddhist nationalism where monks in countries like Myanmar and Sri Lanka have revolted against minority groups. You see, divide and conquer works overseas too. Their revolts were driven by a fusion of religious identity and ethno-nationalism.
        They obviously had enough. They defended their faith and nation from existential threats. They are not frogs being boiled slowly.
        Or sheeple shorn.

  7. Why should we follow the UK and Australia down the free speech rabbit hole, because of a few marginal opinions? The problem too, if you start doing this on one front, it snowballs and before you know it, free speech is a thing of the past.

  8. New Zealand is a Christian nation. If you are not Christian then you should leave. Christianity is a wonderful, family oriented, and happy community values. If some foreigners have different values ours should not be replaced by theirs. If I want sharia law, I would go to a sharia law country not a western one.

  9. Yeah Christians are perfect…ly not perfect. How long have Christians been covering up decades or even centuries of child sex abuse by their leaders?
    We are all human but we don’t need other people’s fantasy beliefs to be good people. Many Christians cheat, lie, steal and murder.
    Faith and culture are two different things.

    • You are obviously wandering in the dark.
      Following Jesus Christ and adherance to church religion/doctrine are two different things.

    • Don’t see any Christians grooming and raping over 250,000 white girls or beheading someone in the street for ‘insulting the prophet . . or flying planes into buildings, marching in their hundreds thru the street with their faces covered, importing heavy weaponry into the country, praying in the street as a warning and lesson about whats coming.

  10. That behavior is extortion. Every one of them are welcome to leave New Zealand. No doubt they have robbed citizens, tax payers and now they detest us as weak, nieve and pathetic. Deport. The question is people, who do we vote for to push the agitators off the cliff?
