Today we mourn Fred Evans, a man who died on Black Tuesday 1912 during the Waihi goldminers strike, where the corrupt police (as they do today to peaceful strikers) gunned down the working class.
We mourn the men who starved and were left homeless in 1952, after Sidney Holland ordered the destruction of the working class during the waterfront strike, and the families that kept people alive, despite the illegality of such moves, and kept the movement of freedom strong.
We mourn the now dead great strikers in 1913 who, by joining forces with the IWW and the Red Feds, attempted to crush the scab Farmers Union and in favour of directly taking on the Capitalist pigs, instead of going through the Massey middle man.
We mourn Ernie Abbott, who was bombed to death, after the Capitalist class riled the mentally ill into a frenzy over the workers merely wanting their rights.
We mourn Christine Clarke, the women run over by a scab at Port Lyttelton, as the workers were defending their livelihood and jobs after the Capitalist pigs Port Lyttelton decided to try and outsource the coal loading to the Chinese.
We will never forget these brave souls, and may thire sacrifice for workers rights and this sacred day NEVER be forgotten.
We give thanks to the workers of New Zealanders for every single right you have right now, such as celebrating a paid day off today.

Just Announced:
New Zealand First announces ten-point rail policy.
New Zealand First will continue to deliver the goods for rail by maintaining and improving the national network, removing bottlenecks, strengthening regional connections, and putting existing rail assets to better use.
New Zealand First has always backed rail, and unlike the other parties that sold it off, ran it down, or talked about it without delivering, we have the track record to prove it.
We have spent years rebuilding the foundations, and our ten-point rail programme locks in what we have already delivered and funded, then takes the next practical steps.
The policy commits New Zealand First to delivering the $1.35 billion Rail Network Investment Programme, building the Marsden Point Rail Link, and introducing the two new Cook Strait ferries, Kupe and Cook, in 2029.
New Zealand First will make Te Huia permanent, support passenger rail in Christchurch if the trial proves its worth, remove dangerous level crossings, and increase Golden Triangle capacity through the Kaimai Tunnel for freight and passenger trains.
New Auckland Rail and Wellington Rail companies will be established to bring metropolitan rail infrastructure and passenger services under clear, accountable council/government shared ownership, while protecting freight, inter-regional and heritage access.
The final commitments are to begin planning Auckland’s third and fourth main lines and protect the Avondale-Southdown rail corridor for future passenger and freight services.
Rail contributes $3.3 billion to New Zealand every year, moves a quarter of export freight, and supports more than 24 million metropolitan passenger journeys annually.
The national network is now in its best condition in decades because we changed the law to fund rail infrastructure in the same way as state highways, and put the priority back where it belongs - maintaining and renewing what we already have.
Rail freight volumes are growing faster than road freight volumes, KiwiRail has exceeded its earnings target for the second year in a row, and brand new locomotives and wagons will shortly ply the national network in the service of our economy – that is our record.
We invested more than $2 billion in Auckland to prepare it for the City Rail Link, and rebuilt and upgraded Wellington’s network as well as committed the thick end of a billion dollars to new regional trains for the Wairarapa and Palmerston North.
Across the regions, our investments rebuilt tracks, bridges, tunnels, and workshops, including Hillside in Dunedin where the 1,000th new wagon recently rolled off the production line where 50 Otago locals have been trained and employed.
We believe in getting more out of what New Zealanders already own, not spending $1.5 billion electrifying the Golden Triangle to save just $15 million in fuel each year in an already low-emissions technology – that sort of ideological idiocy is best left to the Greens.
We are the Commonsense Express, and we have always delivered for rail and New Zealanders and we will keep doing so.

Many tradies both admire and respect white collar if it is competent and useful to them. What is grating is some dipstick fresh out of university (with a nontechnical degree usually) who is on a substantial wicket to 'manage' or 'advise' without a clue. It drives the lads wild.
This is what New Zealanders who support immigration are like.
Make no mistake, immigration tightens the chains of poverty around the hands, legs, and feet of the working class.
We have to use our people, our exporters, our materials, and our resources to rebuild this nation.

The MSM has a vested interest in ensuring that New Zealand continues on the Libtard North Korea trajectory. An NZ First majority would see their woke subversive propaganda machine dismantled practically overnight. Living under Uniparty tyranny is a choice people.

Utterly compromised.
ACT have scrapped their proposal to abolish permanent residency visas. Unfortunate. That policy would have made a difference to the problem. The decision was made after feedback from migrant communities was that the policy was "disrespectful and exclusionary”.
