Paul Goldsmith will take on responsibility for the Media and Communications portfolio, while Louise Upston will pick up the Disability Issues portfolio, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announced today.

“Our Government is relentlessly focused on getting New Zealand back on track. As issues change in prominence, I plan to adjust Ministerial responsibilities to make sure we are best set up to deliver for New Zealanders.

“It has become clear in recent months that there are significant challenges in the media sector. Similarly, we have discovered major financial issues with programmes run by the Ministry of Disabled People.

“I have come to the view it is important to have senior Cabinet Ministers considering these issues.

“There are significant synergies between the Arts, Culture and Heritage portfolio and Media and Communications – as such, I’ve asked Paul Goldsmith to take the lead on media issues for the Government.

“The challenges facing our media are being seen all over the world. While there are limited levers for Government here, I look forward to Paul progressing work to ensure regulatory settings are appropriate to enable the media to modernise and adapt to a changing media environment.

“The Ministry of Disabled People is a departmental agency within the Ministry of Social Development, so I have asked Louise Upston to take responsibility for the Disability Issues portfolio. This will free Penny Simmonds up to focus on the Environment portfolio and the major changes she is progressing to improve tertiary education.

“Given the changes, Melissa Lee will move outside of Cabinet. Climate Change and Revenue Minister Simon Watts will move into Cabinet.”

The Prime Minister has advised the Governor-General to give effect to the changes today.

  1. It must be remembered that under the John Key National Government, there was NZ$30 Million set aside and earmarked for Special Needs Education and associated / affiliated support.
    NOT ONE CENT WAS EVER SPENT!
    The governments of the Western Nations want the autistic, disabled, and mentally challenged to disappear and go away.
    If one doesn’t think so, look at the Netherlands, Canada and the U.S. and U.K, and the policies of FORCED euthanasia and full-term abortions.
    The Global War against the autistic is fully approved and green-sheeted by the PTB…

    • Some say that autistic children are “Indigo Children: and come into the Earth life with a higher vibration and mission to uplift humanity. That is probably why “the Elites” do not want them here: They are a threat to their dark agendas.

      • The PTB will attempt to at first marginalise any opportunities in work and education for the Autistic, and then they will be criminalised just for being who they are!
        We saw this in 1938 Europe…
        We are seeing it again playing-out in real time…
        Luxon stated that anyone who is autistic and owns a home will not be eligible for a benefit…
        But…that goes hand-in-hand with his globalist policies of austerity.
        As Tony Hilder stated in his video from 30 years ago titled ‘Millennium 2000’ with Jordan Maxwell, “War has been declared against you. War has been declared against your wife, your children, your mother…there isn’t anything you have or ever hoped to have that they’re not planning on taking away!”
        “Who am I talking about? I’m talking about a group of people who are evil, who are maniacal, who are Freemasons as noted in my 33 vinyl albums titled ‘Illuminati CFR that I produced 30 years ago (circa 1966)
        Fast forward to present day w/ the Zionist reptilians Klaus Schwab, George Soros, the WEF, WHO, CFR, with Schwab’s statement : “You will own nothing and be *happy” (*with your trendy enslavement whilst holding a Starbucks Latte that you purchased with your meager ‘Universal Basic Income’ as you head off to your wired-in residential cell inside the :15 Minute Cities..).
        Indigo children- I’ve heard about this and have studied the scenario, but oftentimes the ‘goals of the Indigos’ is to effect a New Age change in humanity.
        When encountering these types, learn and study the differences between the insightful ‘Indigos’ and the demonically-possessed, both of whom show similar characteristics.
        As a former child savant, my specialty was spacecraft. Even went to Space Camp in Alabama and finished the Space Shuttle simulator course that my parents paid a good sum of money for. Ended-up with a ‘Shuttle Commander Certificate’ but…no job offers.
        I hold a Masters Degree in Aviation Technology from an online Uni, as I could not cope with the classroom environment, lecture halls, noise, lighting…etc. but…no job offers.
        Currently living with my parents which statistically appears to be, unfortunately, permanent for those like me on the spectrum. At least I’m not on the dole, but 78% of those on the Autism Spectrum are, and are stuck forever in Council Flats, if not out on the streets!
        I would like to try and get a Private Pilot Licence, but the CAA Medical Rules forbid me from that…but the sound of an aircraft engine is soothing, especially when I hear the same thru my headset.
        For now I have an instructor who comes to my parent’s home and she helps me with Microsoft Flight Sim, (she’s a CFII) and I have even gone to the actual sims at the flight schools here. I was able to fly with my instructor on several occasions, and I overcame my unique and very acute senses to trial a few actual supervised flights, but this will not lead me to a career.
        I now work from my parent’s home doing data entry, paying them room and board, but if when they pass on and I inherit the family home, I will not be qualified for any benefit according to Luxon.
        Then, there’s the real danger of having my home stolen via the courts via seizure, forfeiture, and judges who may rule me to be incompetent!
        Then a court-appointed guardianship is enacted to remove me from my inherited home, at which point the ‘Guardian’ would sell my home out from underneath me, with the guardian keeping the proceeds from the sale of my rightfully inherited home! Those in the legal system would get a rewarded cut of the sale for instigating the violation of my Human and Civil Rights as a disabled person!!! And the NGO’s who are in the lucrative business of supporting Autistics actually don’t…they are part of the problem!!!

  2. Oh it time to play musical chairs…how nice….BTW how is giving $25M of our taxpayer money to the corrupt Ukraine regime, “getting NZ back on track” or bringing in Liebours dodgy tax policies?
