Euthanasia became legal in Canada in 2016. If we want to see where New Zealand could be headed , then looking at the trend of Canada’s experiment is a good place to start. And as expected, it’s not pretty.

There's pressure on Early Childhood Education centers to push gender ideology on pre-schoolers, yes preschool kids! A parent who is also an ECE (early childhood education) teacher told us at a recent parents' meeting that there is pressure on ECE centers to push gender ideology on preschoolers. What we found after some research should concern every parent. Gender and sexuality ideology is starting way earlier than you possibly thought, and as some people have warned, they’re coming for your kids

2023/10/25

Britney Spears has revealed she had an abortion while she was dating Justin Timberlake. But contrary to the narrative that the media and the pro-abortion lobby push, this wasn’t a good thing. It wasn’t 'a good day' – ironically – and her experience exposes a number of myths around the pro-abortion pro-killing narrative.

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2023/10/18

In October 2018, Canada was the first G-20 nation to legalise recreational cannabis. Five years on, public health experts say legalisation hasn’t created any health benefits — but it has been linked to some serious concerns. None of the negative outcomes are unexpected. What’s really interesting is who’s now expressing concern.

A 'clean slate' for politicians?

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2023/10/17

The low point of the Election Campaign came during the final leaders' debate between Chris Hipkins and Christopher Luxon. Luxon took a shot at the five ministers who have left Labour this year, to which Hipkins replied with a reference to the accusations against a National MP from his youth. Do our dumb actions as teenagers disqualify us from leadership? Do even our past actions as adults permanently disqualify us? Or does it depend on what the action was, what the consequence at the time was, and

The minor parties - where to from here?

2023/10/16

Despite the optimism, the significant effort of time and expense, the passion, the utter hard slog, the results are in for the minor parties. Politics is a brutal sport. Good on these parties for putting their hand up and being willing to get involved. We need their voice in the public domain. They must not give up heart. But where to from here...?

2023/10/15

As we await the final count and watch the make-up of a National-led Government under Christopher Luxon’s leadership, not a lot will change for Family First. We might have a new conservative-leaning Government – but it’s not necessarily a socially-conservative-leaning Government. It's business as usual for us.

We've been saying this for a while now, but recent research published in the Journal of Family Psychology continues to endorse just how important the dinner table is, as well as the presence of parents. Your kids need family dinners.

Radical abortion group highlights who NOT to vote for

2023/10/02

ALRANZ which stands for Abortion Rights Aotearoa (yeah - not quite accurate eh!) are a tiny group that are radically pro-abortion and have an American activist as their leader. They've released their list of which parties are the most pro-death pro-abortion. If ALRANZ endorse the party, you should probably avoid them like the plague. You’ll be doing the unborn child and the pregnant mum a massive favour.

The Government’s trans ‘role model’ for your 9 y/o

2023/09/25

One of the books that the Ministry of Education and Family Planning recommend for your 9 year old to read as part of the RSE (Relationships & Sexuality) Curriculum is "I am Jazz" by Jazz Jennings. A recent examination of Jazz's life concludes, "Jazz Jennings was sold to us by the LGBTQ+ lobby as a shining example of the success of early gender reassignment for children. In truth, he’s been left sexless, sterilised and physically mutilated. Jazz is not an example to follow. His tragic life is an

2023/09/21

Over 100 Catholic schools in Cleveland (USA) have set out clear guidelines for sexuality and gender based on Catholic teaching – and they should be music to your ears. The real question is – do NZ faith-based schools adopt similar biblical-based guidelines? If not, why not.

Election 2023 - Are "wasted votes" really wasted?

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2023/09/18

It’s General Election time – and because we operate under an MMP mixed member proportional voting system, the concept of the “wasted vote” always comes up in discussion. Generally the statement is thrown around, something along the lines of, “If your vote is wasted, it goes to another party” – “Another party benefits”. But is this true? We explain how the wasted vote phenomenon works in practice – based on what happened in the General Election in 2020.It still comes back to you though. You have a

On the same day as our General Election here in New Zealand, Australians will also be going to the polling booth to have their say in a referendum. The question on the ballot paper will be: “A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
