Our new Fact Sheet on gender / sexuality education in...

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/08/16

We highlight a new Family First resource explaining the gender theory & sexuality curriculum which is rife in our schools. The Government declared at the beginning of 2022 that they were launching a new offensive to push radical sexuality and gender ideology at your children. There is a renewed effort by the Ministry of Education and activists to fully embed the programme in all schools at all levels. Let's not leave the door open for our children to be taught about sexuality and gender theory

Our new Fact Sheet on the 'conversion therapy' law

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/08/15

We highlight a new Family First resource just released on the new 'conversion therapy' law. It’s a guide for parents, pastors and counsellors as to what the law says and its implications. We’ve also gone to a leading public law lawyer for advice and we include their legal advice in the Fact Sheet. To be frank, it’s fairly disturbing reading. While gender and sexuality is supposedly ‘fluid’, activists want the law to stipulate that it can only go in the direction they approve. Yet again, the state

FAMILY MATTERS: Media shows significant bias in...

Clara was the result of a teen pregnancy outside of wedlock. She is very thankful her mother chose life - her life. But as she watched the media coverage of the recent and momentous Roe v Wade decision in the US Supreme Court, it quickly became evident that virtually all the mainstream media in New Zealand were furious with the decision, were strongly pro-abortion, and that anyone like Clara and millions of others who hold the view that the unborn child has a right to life, and that abortion harms

The Government along with the Greens and Maori Party have scrapped the Three Strikes Law in the middle of a crime wave of gangs, guns and ram raids. Did they have a public mandate to do it? And what type of criminal is actually being caught under the law? Nick Tuitasi also gives an amusing demonstration of how a 3-strike law works.

The Government's 'kindness' to repeat violent criminals

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/08/09

In the midst of a crime wave involving gang turf battles, gun crimes and violent ram raids, the Government along with the Greens and the Maori Party have responded by scrapping the law that specifically targets repeat violent offenders - all of whom have a track record even before getting caught. In a previous issue of Family Matters, Bob presented the evidence for why the law is working and should have been retained.

The slippery slope of assisted suicide

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/08/09

The first official report on the assisted suicide law in NZ has been released. It only covers the first five months of the law, so it's difficult to determine any trends. But what has been interesting is the comments made by euthanasia supporters about the law already needing to be expanded to allow for even non-terminal patients to access it. And the media only seems to want to tell us the 'good' stories about assisted suicide - but they ignore the 'not-so-happy' ones.

Thankfully we said nope to dope

Remember the claims made by pro-drug activists in support of cannabis legalisation in New Zealand. According to the Government, the Green Party, NZ Drug Foundation and Helen Clark Foundation, we were supposed believe that legalising recreational cannabis would lead to significant health benefits, reduced black market, no increase in usage, reduction in mental health issues, reduced crime and so on. Thankfully, the majority of us weren’t fooled into believing this, and voted No. And there is

Gender theory separates a mum and her daughter

2022/08/08

Jeannette Cooper, a former teacher and now a Ph.D. candidate in education at DePaul University, never imagined she’d lose custody of her child. But when, at age 12, Sophia suddenly claimed to be transgender, Jeannette was skeptical. But Sophia insisted, not only that she was trans, but that she was ‘unsafe’ around Jeannette. What followed was a disturbing series of court proceedings and therapy sessions. Nearly three years later, Jeannette can’t even visit with the daughter she loves, but can only

Detransitioner Chloe's story

2022/08/02

On the back of two great decisions last week including the closing of the Tavistock transgender clinic in the UK, and the US FDA slapping a warning label on puberty blockers, Californian teenager Chloe tells her story of puberty blockers at 13, a double mastectomy at 15. And why she detransitioned back to her biological sex.

Have we reached a tipping point on gender ideology?

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/08/01

It appears that we may be reaching the tipping point in the transgender agenda which is harming and confusing so many young people. Two key things happened last week which the NZ media didn’t seem that keen to talk about. But we are. One is the shutting down of the UK's Tavistock transgender clinic after a review found it is "not safe" for children. The other is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA issuing a warning label about the risk of puberty blockers. Will common sense finally

The cost of living hits home

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/07/28

According to new polling, families are struggling to pay for essential items such as petrol, food and utilities. They’re also concerned about the effects the cost of living crisis is having on their communities. If families are expected to meet their budget, be accountable for what they spend, and not waste money, shouldn’t the government also?

A Manly supporter speaks up

Ronji Tanielu is a die-hard Manly supporter, a Samoan, and an evangelist. He shares his views on the stand being made by the seven Manly players regarding the wearing of the 'Pride' jersey.

The seven Manly men

2022/07/27

Why have you heard so much about Israel Folau and the Manly players, but not about Haneen Zreika or Fawad Ahmed. They're all Australian sportspeople, but the media have treated them very differently. Guess why?The gospel of diversity, inclusion and equality (DIE) fails before it begins because contrary to its claim of 'diversity, inclusion and equality', the diverse opinion that there are biblical beliefs around sexuality, male and female, and marriage must be shut down. This new sexual and gender

Ministry of Education or Indoctrination

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

Our children are back to school for the start of term 3. But are they going to be educated or indoctrinated - and is that indoctrination just in schools? Where is this gender ideology ultimately coming from?

Was the Supreme Court fair re Family First?

On TVNZ Q&A at the weekend, I discussed with host Jack Tame the reasons that the Supreme Court decision to deregister Family First was inconsistent, unfair and problematic.

Why Roe had to go

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/07/06

On TVNZ Q&A at the weekend, I discussed the reasons that Roe v Wade being overturned was a superb decision. Have a watch. To Jack Tame’s credit (and to the mainstream media’s shame), it’s one of the few times that this viewpoint has been allowed to be expressed in the media since the overturning of Roe.

Sunday programme fails drug testing debate

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/07/06

Current events programmes should be balanced and present both sides so that viewers can come to their own conclusion – based on the evidence and the arguments & counter arguments. But TVNZ’s Sunday programme isn’t too good at this. In their episode on drug testing last weekend, what Sunday programme didn’t do was allow the contrary view – the view opposing drug testing. The view which says that drug testing simply allows drug takers to play Russian roulette with their lives and that there is no

Soft on crime, tough on families

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/07/06

Gang-related shootings, stabbings and the use of firearms in general – including against our police – have become disturbingly normal. Firearm-related offences are nearly double that of just 10 years ago. And family violence is also sadly on the increase. Family First has released a short video clip to highlight the urgency of this issue. The focus always seems to be on the interest and well-being of the criminal and no mention of the rights and welfare of victims. It’s time we stopped being soft on

Yet more expert opinion, expressing concerns about the court ruling to de-register Family First.Sue Barker is a barrister and solicitor, and expert in charities law. She says: “if Family First can be deregistered for engaging in the democratic process, my concern is that any charity can be” … “what we are really undermining is our democracy”.

McBLOG: Deregistered - but not defeated

McBlog by Bob McCoskrie ·

2022/06/29

The Supreme Court has supported the decision by the Government to deregister Family First as a charity. This is after the Government appealed an earlier decision (2020) by the Court of Appeal in favour of Family First retaining its charitable status. There have been four court cases over the last decade attempting to resolve this issue. The reasoning behind the Supreme Court overruling the decision of the Court of Appeal, and the justification for deregistering Family First, should concern anyone
