More red flags on 'Mates & Dates' programme

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/12/08

Hayley and her husband were both trained as a facilitator of the ACC 'Mates & Dates' programme. Hayley lasted one term because she quickly realised just how harmful and confusing the material was for young people. (Her husband resigned even before he got into the classroom!) Listen to her experience, and her warning to parents.

Glamorising euthanasia in Canada

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/12/08

The problem with legalising assisted suicide and euthanasia is that something that was previously NOT an option is now clearly an option – it’s normalised. We show you how it's even being promoted by a Canadian fashion retailer to look wonderful. We also show you the story of a Canadian who earlier this year launched a landmark lawsuit alleging that health officials will not provide him with an assisted home care team of his choosing, instead offering, among other things, assisted suicide. He even

Personal pronouns matter... except when they don't

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/30

Apparently we all need to determine and display our personal pronouns. If you work for a woke government service or organisation, then you’ll be pressured and maybe even mandated to state what your personal pronouns are. The only evidence that needs to be provided in order to prove that someone is non-binary and has different pronouns is... they say it. So those are the rules. Pronouns matter – except when it doesn't suit the narrative.

Stuff reveals their bias - again!

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/30

You’ll remember our McBlog episode last week on yet another media hit-job on Bethlehem College - a successful school with values and a waiting list for enrolments. But within a few hours of publishing, the media outlet Stuff had to make a major retraction. Since then there’s been further developments on that particular story – and last weekend the NZ Media Council had to again hand out a rebuke to Stuff on yet another hit-job on a similar issue. The actions and comments by Stuff and the judgment by

A welcome drop in dope smoking

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/27

There were some interesting stats out last week – but for some reason the media didn’t want to know about it and definitely didn’t want to report it. But we will. Guess what - cannabis use has fallen since the Referendum Debate ended. Yep – dope smoking is on the decrease, and that’s a reason to celebrate.

A mum's warning about 'Mates & Dates'

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/23

The “Mates & Dates” programme in schools is an ACC programme for children 13 years up, and sold as a programme around healthy relationships, the harms of drugs and alcohol, and keeping safe together. What we’ve found is that it is linked closely to the Ministry of Education’s radical sexuality & gender ideology. We were contacted by a mum concerned by what her 13-year-old daughter told her after sitting through just one class of “Mates and Dates”.

A chat with Rev. Franklin Graham

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/23

We had 15 minutes with Rev Franklin Graham just before he preached the Gospel to a packed stadium in Auckland last weekend as part of the national "God Loves You Tour". We discuss ‘cancel’ culture, ‘progressive’ Christianity, God’s ‘inclusive’ love for everyone, standing up with boldness in the culture, sin hell grace and love, why Christians should continue to proclaim that marriage is one man one woman and life begins at conception, and we even mention the words “Donald Trump”!

Major Government backdown on 'hate speech' laws

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/23

We speak to Professor Paul Moon from AUT about the significant backdown by the Government over the proposed hate speech laws. What does the proposed law now mean, should we be concerned that hate speech laws may be inserted elsewhere in other laws, and where to from here?

For the planet's sake, don't have babies!

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/23

TVNZ's Sunday programme was back with yet another anti-family narrative. This week, it was “don’t have babies – the environment can’t handle them”. Ironically, their own experts either countered that narrative, or didn’t follow their own advice! But New Zealand's disturbingly low fertility rate is an important issue about the future of NZ that we do need to talk about - but in a balanced and sensible way. Not surprisingly, Sunday programme certainly didn't do justice to that.

"Disinformation" Comedy Hour

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/21

At the same time as the government was making noises about hate speech laws, the government state broadcaster TVNZ coincidentally featured a documentary called “Web of Chaos” funded by you - via NZ on Air, and featuring the Disinformation Project. The problem is that there is a clear underlying left wing anti-family narrative and ideology which clouds their judgement. They clearly disagree with a morally conservative or traditional Christian worldview. We show two (hilarious) clips to confirm

Euthanasia's sllliiipppppery slope

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/21

NZ has had legal assisted suicide / euthanasia for a year now, so we take a look at the latest statistics. The overseas experience in the small number of countries that allow assisted suicide is that there is an inevitable push to extend such a ‘human right’ to a greater number of people, such as those with chronic conditions, disabilities, mental illness, those simply ‘tired of life’, or even children. Just 12 months on, those calls are already being made in New Zealand.

Media still bullying Bethlehem College

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/21

Bethlehem College is back in the news again. Apparently – apparently - their school counselor has been accused of bullying and 'transphobia'. It’s yet another media hit-job on a successful school with values and a waiting list for enrollments. But within a few hours, the media outlet had to make a major and embarrassing retraction. We fact-check the whole article.

Poll shows biggest concerns for Kiwis

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/15

In a survey by Curia Market Research and commissioned by Family First NZ, 1,000 respondents were asked to name the three biggest issues that they are concerned about. However, unlike other similar polls, the respondents were given a blank sheet with no ‘suggestions’ of what might be a concern. This makes the survey unique in that there is no leading question. It is specifically what is top of mind for families in New Zealand at the moment.

Explicit books in primary school libraries

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/15

We received further evidence last week of just how dangerous some schools in New Zealand are to the moral innocence of our children.We look at a book in a primary school library that was referred to us by a horrified mother of a 9-year-old daughter.Warning! This material is explicit and you may find it offensive. (But apparently it's okay for children as young as 4)

Vancouver’s drug decriminalisation disaster

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/11

There are continued calls from drug advocates in NZ to decriminalise drugs and to adopt a ‘health approach’. We only need to look overseas to see what a social disaster it would be – Scotland, Oregon, San Francisco. The Drug Foundation recently trumpeted Vancouver as a good example. But is it? One of the most beautiful cities in North America has been beset by skyrocketing crime, violent attacks, and a crippling battle with addiction, based on a flawed ‘harm reduction’ method which ignores the harsh

Midwifery Council goes woke on "women"

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/10

The Midwifery Council of NZ has revised its midwifery scope of practice guidelines to entirely remove the words “woman” and “mother”, because of "the need for a radical transformation of the health system, including midwifery”. "Radical" is correct. "Biologically tone deaf" would be another description, as would "woke stupidity". But aren’t they just following the wokeness of the government’s Ministry of Health?

Is the NZ media left wing?

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/09

Have you ever thought that most newsrooms in New Zealand – radio, newspaper and television – appear to have a left wing bias? And is that a fair assessment? A new survey of kiwi journalists has the answer as to whether your assumption is correct - a report that the media themselves haven't been too keen to share. But we will....

Meet detransitioner Cat Cattinson

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/08

Cat Cattinson is a singer, science enthusiast, and a detransitioned woman. If Cat had been 13 today, through the efforts of gender activists & therapists, politicians and health authorities, Cat could’ve been pushed through puberty blockers, cross sex hormones (should be called 'wrong sex hormones') and surgical operations to remove her breasts and have fake genitalia put on her body. Fortunately she didn’t. Have a listen to her story - and her warning.

The folly of hate speech laws

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/08

The government is renewing their commitment to introducing 'hate speech' laws, It is vital that families and faith communities understand what is really at stake with these proposals. We show you an example from the UK of just how flawed and harmful these laws could become, and who they will really be targeted at. Make no mistake - political activists and special interest groups will miss the important distinction between hate-speech, and merely speech they hate, and end up using such laws as tools

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/11/03

The government, pro-abortion activists and the media were very excited this week. The government has just introduced an even easier way to get abortions. Dial an 0800 number and get the abortion pills couriered. DIY abortion. Remember the slogan "safe, legal and rare". It was a big fat lie. There’s this big push for easy access to medical abortions. We explain why, and we show you what actually happens in a medical abortion.
