Broadcaster and former MP Michael Laws has confirmed he will contest the Waitaki electorate on behalf of NZ First.

Party leader Winston Peters said Laws would bring deep experience and leadership to Parliament.

Laws, who currently hosts a programme on The Platform and serves on the Otago Regional Council, said he hoped to become broadcasting minister and could put RNZ “on the chopping list” if he held the portfolio.



He also criticised Prime Minister Christopher Luxon as lacking charisma while praising Peters’ leadership. Laws previously served as a National MP before shortly joining NZ First and later becoming mayor of Whanganui. Read more at Stuff, RNZ and Holyhekatuiteka on X.

    • I watched the video. Laws was far too kind to that grotesquerie. Ardern isn’t just a hypocrite. She is a down and outright liar of the first order who thinks people are too stupid to see her for what she really is. She is a believer in the old mantra that if you repeat a lie often enough, eventually it will be believed.
      I only hope the people of the Waitaki electorate have the nous to elect Michael Laws – by a landslide – in November.

  1. Still not voting NZF. They have been in govt with the other lot this term and I’ve seen nothing that’s made me anything other than consistently disgusted and furious. I wont be voting for Labour or the Greens, despise them even more. I’ll take what I consider a lesser risk on a new reformer party. I sincerely want New Zealand put first in actions as well as words. I wont be voting for ANY of the following:

    >Gene Technology used outside labs
    >Further surveillance/attacks on free speech
    >Selling/renting/leasing our beautiful conservation land to greedy corporations
    >Undermining our sovereignty by allowing the USA/UK or others to unduly influence our nations path
    >Allowing a foreign intelligence/law enforcement agency the FBI to operate on our sovereign soil
    >Buying into NATO war mongering, in particular using our military and taxation money to prop up the Kiev regime
    >Turning trade agreements into an instrument for immigration outside the prescribed terms laid down in immigration law
    >Deporting PR’s or NZ’s citizens to foreign states on trumped up charges
    >Pushing the COVID jab or any of its measures, in alignment with the WHO’s stipulations
    >More taxation. New Zealanders are already paying a fortune in tax and getting next to nothing back for it.
    >Failure to address and fund the healthcare crisis in New Zealand.
    >An end to woke politicised education across all levels of education in New Zealand
    >Deportation of non citizens for significant crimes, no “if’s” or cries of “hardship”. These people should not be our problem.

    My advice to anyone is list what any political party proposes and ask yourself if you are “okay” with it? If you can honestly say “no” then I’d suggest not voting for them. Policy is what defines a party not flowery words. This is how I vote.

    • This means that the only political party left to vote for is the New Zealand Loyal Party..!

      The Chains You Choose: A Wake-Up Call from Kelvyn Alp
      May 23, 2025 Published by Kelvyn Alp

      I’m Kelvyn Alp, and I’m here to slam the truth in your face so hard it stings: you’re enslaved – not by shackles, but by your pathetic surrender to rules, order, and a system that feeds on your obedience. You’re not just in a prison – you’re the star of a horror show, invited to a theater where you think you’re the audience, only to realize you’re the victim in the script. You’re too busy clapping for the drama to notice the walls closing in. Your half-hearted whining about “tyranny” or “corruption” is a disgusting charade – empty, spineless words that change nothing. The agenda is rolling forward, and you’re distracted by shiny trinkets and petty fights, blind to the bars being welded around you.

      The world you live in is a lie, orchestrated by puppet masters who’ve convinced you it’s reality. Everything – your heroes, your villains, your causes – is a scripted act. Secret societies, the ones pulling the strings from shadows, know this game inside out. They’ve deemed you unworthy, and frankly, in their eyes, you are. They’ve taught you to deny your senses, to swallow their lies because it’s easier. Conformity brings their pat on the head, a chance to feel “special” – but it comes at a price: your soul, your freedom, your very existence. You’re a pawn in their grotesque play, and you don’t even see the stage.

      Look at the world they’ve built for you. The air you breathe is laced with toxins, the water you drink is poisoned, the food you eat is engineered to weaken you. Financial systems chain you to debt, medical systems drug you into submission, and religious controls bind your spirit to a false god that thrives on your suffering. This isn’t an accident – it’s deliberate. You’re a battery, powering a machine that feeds on your pain, your fear, your turmoil. And you let it happen, programmed from childhood to be a compliant drone. Schools aren’t about learning; they’re about control. Those exams you slaved over? They weren’t testing your intelligence – they were screening for obedience. They wanted to see who could regurgitate their lies in the “right” way, ensuring a lifetime of loyal minions. The rebels, the ones without degrees, are often the sharpest minds, but society scorns them because they dare think for themselves. You’ve been taught to worship credentials over wisdom, and you bought it.

      You wouldn’t know a real hero if you tripped over one. From the cradle, they’ve molded you – through schools, media, institutions – into a weapon of their will, ready to attack anyone who steps out of line. You’re not free; you’re a tool, programmed to conform, to obey, to betray your own potential. You’re weak – not from lack of strength, but because you’ve been convinced you’re nothing. You let them erode your existence with every new law, every intrusion, every lie about your history, your timeline, your reality. It’s all fabricated to keep you docile. You’re distracted, divided, deceived – puppets jerking to their tune. The evidence? Nothing changes. The corrupt walk free. The powerful laugh at your misery, and you’re too captured to see it.

      This world is a slaughterhouse, and you’re the livestock. You vote for the same parasites, or you don’t vote, handing victory to the leeches who rule you. They’ve convinced you, through their messengers, that they love you. Look at the irony: a world of poisoned air, water, land; a food chain laced with chemicals; controls that choke every aspect of your life. You’re a plaything to a system that sees you as a joke. Even the “tough guys” – the police, the military – are just pawns, sacrificed at the sharp end of a political will. This is your prison, and you love it. You fought for it. You refuse to change it because you’re scared, cowardly, pointing fingers, saying “someone should do something.” You are that someone, and you do nothing. You attack those who dare rattle the cage, blaming them for your own spinelessness.

      You’re a biological computer, running their belief systems like software, playing a role scripted before you could even think. The secret societies know this – they’ve designed it. They’ve convinced you your senses are wrong, that their lies are truth, because it’s easier to comply than to fight. But I’m not here to teach you what you don’t know. I’m here to remind you what you’ve forgotten: yourself. You’ve surrendered your power to an entity that feasts on your despair. You’ve let their laws, their rules, reshape you into something less than human. But you can break free. Walk away from the churches, synagogues, mosques. Roll up your sleeves. Stop praying for solutions – create them. The lies, the controls, the poison – it all ends when you decide.

      We, the resolute few, stand unwavering for you. I will hold the line against your enslavement, absorbing every attack and enduring every slander, because your freedom is worth it. Not one inch will I yield. The prison is real, but so is your power. Seize it—now.
      About the author: Leader
      Kelvyn Alp is the Leader of New Zealand Loyal.

  2. The question is this: will he sanction, boycott Israel, and insure that current IDF Members & IDF Veterans are permanently REMOVED from New Zealand?
    RCR has a few small hatters in their midst, so I don’t really trust their ops in what they do, say, or engage in.

    • I think you know the answer to that question. Same answer if you posed the same question and asked it of National or Labour, for that matter. As for third party news sites this is the only one I trust. Many others I know of are either not far from the mainstream or are controlled opposition.

  3. We used to be NZ First members, supporters & voters.
    When we asked for Winston to intervene into a problem in the public sector where my partner was being bullied, abused, threatened with death and severely underpaid, nobody from NZ First came to help us. Heidi B. of NZ First and Winston did NOTHING!!!!
    & hence my partner’s nearly 20 year career in the public sector ended-up flushed down the toilet due to ‘CONSTRUCTIVE DISMISSAL’ and a nervous breakdown coupled with on-the-job injuries!
    ACC was of no help, due to mailcious Old Boy / Old Girl Network phone calls, and we were followed around and photographed by Able Security. (NOTE- ACC keeps two files; one official and the other a secret second file!).
    Going to a law firm was a waste of thousands of dollars as the CEO of the law firm also sat on the BoD of the public service entity that was in question, thus we were never informed of a ‘conflict of interest’.
    So no…we won’t be voting for NZ First…and when you go to the local NZ First member’s office in their electorate, they keep the doors locked, are almost never there in those offices, and never return phone calls!
    The only political party which has a membership which knows what it’s like to be f#*ked-over by the Zionist-controlled New Zealand Government is the NEW ZEALAND LOYAL PARTY! Look at what Party leader Kelvyn Alp & Hannah Speir have had to deal with for revealing the truth about the Christchurch Massacre and other types of high crimes and treason that the WEF / WHO past & present governments have carried out against Kiwis…!!!!!!
    THAT is why we’re voting for the NEW ZEALAND LOYAL PARTY in November..
    NZ Loyal Party Leader Kelvyn Alp was deliberately bankrupted due to legal fees resulting from exposing fundamental, challenging truths about government Uni-Party corruptions to New Zealanders, and being charged for doing so!

    Kelvyn Alp’s Bankruptcy: A Corrupt Establishment Hit Job
    July 4, 2026 Published by Secretary

    Claims circulating online that New Zealand Loyal leader Kelvyn Alp is ineligible to stand in the election are false.

    Attorney General Judith Collins signed off on Alp’s bankruptcy as one of her final acts in office before fleeing politics to the Law Society.

    It stemmed from a lawsuit over his false arrest. The presiding judge – a former senior police advisor – ruled that police can act on false information in their system without any duty to verify it, granting them full indemnity.

    “The corrupt system protected its own. Justice was denied,” Alp said. “I am able to contest the 2026 Election, and I will deliver justice for all who have been wronged by the system.”

    “Perhaps the New Nation Party should read the Electoral Act before publishing confident legal claims about it.”

    Section 47(1) of the Electoral Act 1993 states that a person registered as an elector is qualified to stand as either an electorate or party-list candidate. Sections 47(2) and 47(3) add that the person must not be disqualified from electoral registration and must be a New Zealand citizen.

    Section 80 then specifies the disqualifications from electoral registration.

    Undischarged bankruptcy is not one of them.

    The Act contains no provision disqualifying an undischarged bankrupt from standing for Parliament. The Electoral Commission likewise states that a candidate must be enrolled to vote and be a New Zealand citizen by the nomination deadline.

    So the assertion that Kelvyn Alp “likely cannot stand” because he is bankrupt is not an interpretation of the legislation. It is simply made up.

    This is elementary statutory checking. A political party making public claims about electoral law should perhaps bother to read the sections it invokes before lecturing anyone else about eligibility.

Trust greasy laws no further than you can spit…
