Time for all of us to boycott the un-Kiwi NZ Herald ?
I boycotted the herald years ago. Its biased BS.
At $ 4. 70 cents per Rag - Time too join the ''Mc' s.'''
many of us did about 2 years ago - keep up..... And Stuffed too.... and any TV news
Anyone subscribing to The Herald obviously supports the radical Left, the death of free speech, and racial separatism.
Totally agree with you 😢
I always thought the _Herald_ was a rag. Now I'm sure of it. Weak, insipid, almost an embarrassment of a newspaper. Even the lowliest regional rag in England would be far superior to the _Herald._ I'm cancelling my copy from next week, and glad to do it. Thanks, Michael.
Cancel it for all time. They have done this to themselves.
We also must stop taxpayer funding of iwi claims and court actions. Iwi are in charge of multi billion enterprises and don't need taxpayer handouts to divide NZ.
Yes ARGREED, SICK of tax paying money, paying millions of dollars being pay out to false iwi claims, why cant the iwi organisation work for there own money!! Pay TAX, (as maori business do not pay tax) As all other cultures of N.Z create there own business, work for their money, and pay tax!! So UNFAIR!!! SAY NO TO IWI CLAIMS, Waitangi Tribunal needs to close down!!!
And iwi corporations don't pay tax!
Cancelling our decades long Herald subscription. It doesn't like democracy.
Me Too
our beaches and seas should be owned by all the people of nz.
That's right end of story.
you wouldnt just go to Japan and take thier beach and rivers why should you be able to do it here ..The chiefs agreed to retain the lands and resources. Govts then proceeded to take them and sell them to kiwis. Most of NZ is based on this and therfore Maori are not content and want thier true rights and lands returned
@@djhemirukahemisphere8893 they've been conquered. Time to move on.
@@djhemirukahemisphere8893 Horse shit they did.
They ARE, I don't give a fuck what anyone says. All New Zealanders.
Very well articulated Mr. Laws; absolutely spot on!
People need to stop protecting their little interests and stand up and say what they think against this censorious tyranny
Crazy thing is,Māori won’t be able to use the seashore either, only the piece they own if they own any at all
@@Noel-lt3tythat's a total lie
just canceled my Herald subscription.
Same
Me too
yes. Cancelled mine as well and started a direct credit of the same amount to Hobsons Pledge.
The Herald needs to seriously consider its position as a fair arbiter of the concerns of all the people in the country , running aground here !!!
They won’t, they have gone totally woke and Leftist.
Do NOT trust the Horrid. They are not interested in democracy. Cancel subscriptions.
Agreed. National need to rectify problem with herald rejection of hobsons pledge. National also need to disregard John key attitude and rectify the problem finnlayson created with his disregard for the queens chain law which allows nz citizens access to any beach in nz. Now with Māori predominance they can selll beach front to huge developers to make exclusive projects and fenced off access to the beach. Mann up Luxon do your own thinking NOT John keys money making choices.
What has TPM got to worry about if there model is fair and justified. Customary title mean’s absolutely nothing it is just a made up story by the greedy few.
Queens chain? This is however a fallacy! Also, today there are properties adjoining waterways where the land was not reserved by the 1892 Act that enjoy “riparian rights”. That means that the adjoining landowners effectively own all of the land to the middle of the river and the general public does not have access over the land or riverbank.
Luxon was voted in to do this stuff, I hope he doesn't turn out to be a coward.
Not only that, they would charge every kiwi to pay god knows what to set foot on a beach.
Well said. Shame the MSM can’t be bothered to handle this type of hot potato. Glad we have The Platform.
The MSM have definitely handled one side of it
I will not be renewing my Herald Sub. After two totally Biased editorials in the last few days and now this Race based decision I have had enough. The Herald needs to decide if it is here for ALL NZers or just her to favour Maori.
Good on you Michael for calling out NZ Harold
I have just send them an email that I will stop reading their Sunday edition and I have approached my friends and family to cancel their subscription
Well done, they are an absolute disgrace.
Cancellation sent
The media in this country is engaged in a huge coordinated social engineering exercise. At exactly the same moment, Aderns government began bestowing Maori names on every new public building, every government department and every governmental inquiry. The media and every other organisation that accepts money from the government carried the flag for that social engineering project. Why else would RNZ, The Herald, Stuff, TVNZ and TV3 insert Maori words into sentences framed in English.
NEVER surrender to the Woke Mob!
Excellent. Thank you Michael. And that's why we don't pay for a premium subscription anymore. Screw The NZ Herald's biased views. I agree with the previous comment. This is not "New Zealand's" Herald any longer.
I'm cancelling my NZ Herald subscription accordingly.
The coastlines belong to all New Zealanders.
At least 30% is privately owned..
And that’s the way it is going to stay, so f**k of TPM.
@@olliemoose2020 So 'non Māori' owned coastline is ok?
@@user-bw5nc Then by some with your own money.
@@wokesickIt's hard to take someone serious, when they write 'By', instead of 'Buy' .... I'd rather no-one owned the coastline.
What do you reckon 'Wokesick'?
VERY well said Michael!!!! NO APARTHEID IN NZ PLEASE!!!
To late. Its playing out right now. Just the beginning my friend, just the beginning. NZ is already split by race and Apartheid is already active in health care, educational funding, employer obligations. NZ has already chosen its direction for the future.

No one is concerned about being called racist anymore. The word has been overused.
I don't need to purchase the Herald
How can anyone think they have the right to claim something like that, what’s next the air we breath and the water we drink, it’s just ridiculous. .
They’re ahead of u there, radio waves in the air and an attempt at the water, ‘3 waters’

2TK reminds me of Ardern and the way she supported the bomb threat that caused those Canadian journalists to cancel their talk. Was anyone ever arrested over that?
I know aye? It's so sad that Maori have been treated like second class citizens for so long.
I have not read the Herald for at least 10 years. I would encourage everyone of you to never buy a copy of their woke rubbish again. On the seabed and foreshore, it belongs to all of us, and its about time to push back.
Governor Hobson greeted each Chief who came forward to sign the treaty in 1840 with the following pledge : “he iwi tahi tatou” - "we are now one people"
The Left don't want us to be one people.
As a sixth generation New Zealander that has contributed from the age of fifteen, I feel like I can't wait to get the hell out.
Luckily, Labour made it easier and more attractive to move to Aussie.
Well said we are all sick of the bullshit and lies and I can u cant ive had a guts full
The herald is as weak as bloody water.
Nearly all ads and no News, a total waste of money.
Who in their right mind would have a Herald subscription 😂
Who is paying off most of the media? I wonder if it could be Rock black.
Never trust a man who wears a small hat!!

Well said Michael. National must reinstate the original act from 2004. The NZ Herald must move with the times if it want to stay relevant to New Zealand readers.
I have written to the editor of the Herald, as this information must be made transparent to the wider public. Such decisions may have lasting impacts that readers would want to be made aware of.
Further, I have asked for clarification regarding the specific reasons for this decision. What were the key factors that led to the cancellation, despite the advertisement meeting all legal and editorial standards?
Curious if I will get a response from them.
The Herald is an absolute disgrace.
Ironically, Labour wouldn't have a bar of it. But the John Key lead govt ( National) went in boots an all and made it easier for maori to contest ownership of the beaches and foreshore. Key and Finlayson have done much damage.
Two traitors. Should be in jail.
for other reasons also so corrupt as they come
They both came out of the same snake hole.
The key government was appalling, thats why they got voted out .
I can only imagine the outcry if britain gave customary title of the british shoreline to (and only to) people of british ancestry.
Britain has the Kings chain along water edges, which means ANYONE can walk there.
@@fumblebee4234 Havent we got Queens Chain ?

The trans debate has been similarly censored.
Exactly the same threats to high schools, Universities, Hospitals, government departments, etc, etc, etc.
This is attempting to cancel out middle NZ - the bread and butter of NZ in the worst possible time.
So we must direct our serious concerns to the right people. I would say it's our Coalition government and media who will be unbiased and fair.
Luxon is the weakest link. Kiwis keep voting National, dumb.
you and 71 others are fkn kidding yourselves putting your trust in tis coalition is literally putting your trust in the devil straight up
Findlayson often showed nasty vindictiveness when in parliament and remember he was only a list mp who tried more than once to win an electorate and failed
Yes finlayson was an ass 🕳️
He is a nasty self indulging peace of sh**t.
We have canceled the herald I’d rather be informed by an unbiased source
Cheers
This is and has been a real mess. My man has just been turned away from a beach where he's been birdwatching and annual native bird counting for years. DOC has closed it at the behest of maori.
People need to make a stand and but all this nonsense to rest.
i really don’t think it was because maori your friend was turned away need thoroughly check that maori wouldn’t have a problem in regards of bird watching definitely not
Maori also have banned non Maori from access to Cathedral Caves on crown land in the Catlins. A national treasure now off limits to non Maori.
@@Duckz558no your quite right - it had nothing to with the birds - it was just the colour of his skin and his lack of being able to lay a claim
@Duckz558 Well, it happened. Cold day, poor bugger bought his hot soup back home with a sad face. And it doesn't really matter what he what he was there to do, it's DOC, ie everyone's land.
The media are suposed to inform the public of all things wr need to know. Its not their job to judge what we should hear. WTF do they think they are?
Brilliant, thank you Michael.
Well explained, it’s amazing how ignorant many people are, and dismiss it as racism even when it was look at by lawyers prior to being published. There is a genuine concern, and it’s sad the Herald has been bullied by minority groups.
Oh poor NZ herald haha. The Herald lives on racism.
No, it hasn't been bullied by this minority group. Like all other "mainstream media, the Herald has been ... shall we say incentivised .... by the New World Order
A group of lawyers, legal academics and organisations aligned to or affiliated with the legal profession has spoken out against the front page Hobson's Pledge Ad placed last week in the NZ Herald.
Here's the text of the statement (with very minor edits to fit character limits):
The Hobson’s Pledge ad in The Herald on 7 August in relation to customary marine titles is likely to mislead, deceive or confuse consumers both explicitly and by implication, ambiguity, exaggeration and false representation. It is also likely to also fuel racism against Māori.
Hobson’s Pledge are entitled to a 'robust expression of opinion' but are not entitled to mislead and deceive consumers and, in our view, The Herald should have known, or investigated, whether the information was misleading or deceptive before the advertisement was published.
First, the advertisement calls for the “restoration” of the foreshore to public ownership. The foreshore has never historically been in public ownership: it is not owned by anybody, except for the areas of the foreshore that are currently in (mainly non-Māori) private ownership.
Second, the ad implies, on the front page, that “customary marine titles” give iwi, hapū and/or whānau the right to own parts of the foreshore. This is not true.
On the contrary, the legislation’s effective extinguishment of Māori property interests in the foreshore has been found to breach their human rights by UN human rights bodies that oversee New Zealand’s human rights compliance.
Third, the ad implies that “customary marine title” will prevent NZers from accessing beaches, including to fish, to swim and to enjoy our coastal environment. This is not true. The legislation enabling the award of customary marine titles secures public access to the foreshore.
Fourth, contrary to the impression created by the advertisement, there are very hard legal tests to be met before a wāhi tapu (including a rāhui) will be recognised.
Moreover, wāhi tapu are subject to statutory restrictions, and cannot, for example, prevent fishers from taking their lawful entitlement in a quota or fisheries management area.
Finally, in the light of the division and racism against Māori that resulted from the foreshore and seabed issue in the mid-2000s, we find the attempt to reignite that division and discrimination abhorrent.
Signatories include the Māori Law Society, the Auckland Women Law Association, legal academics and lawyers - from King's Counsel, partners and barristers to junior associates, in-house lawyers and non-practising lawyers. This little newsletter hereby adds its wholehearted endorsement.
@@keithsymonds9323 look at the groups, they are Maori activists. If you Listen to Mikes explanation he breaks down how it isn’t misleading, how things have changed, and what changed. Don Brash and the Herald also had legal teams review it prior to being published. Sadly the Herald has caved due to trying to be woke. In my opinion there is nothing in the advert that is misleading, and this point has also been argued on the platform. Although I accept people will read into things and may see them differently, I feel Mikes interpretation to be non offensive and highlights why people should be concerned. Especially if term title is used which is a legal phrase to mean ownership.
What's the difference between customary and riparian, stop perpetual leases
Thugs veto once again.
Next time The Herald relies on the ‘we just publish, these aren’t our views’, we need to remember they are.
Thank you for raising the issue which isn't about the advertisement by Hobsons Pledge, but the refusal of advertising space. It seems to me, the New Zealand media still hasn't read the memo that a different party is running the country and have therefore cut off all the freebies the previous frivolous government threw around with gay abandon.
I haven't bought or read an NZ Herald for probably 20 years. I don't think I've missed much!
Thanks for explaining it so well.
Having a different point of view snuffed out simply because it doesn't match anothers viewpoint is a scary road for our country to go down. Both sides need equal voice so citizens of NZ can make up their own minds.
We are well down that path - keep voting Labour and Green.
Thanks to nz herald we are now going to get behind Hobson pledge
The sick thing is that taxpayers are paying Maori to take the beaches off them.

Yet another John Key legacy, introduced without explanation or publicised. BTW I donated toward The cost of The advertisement.
Key was a failure in politics on everything, why does anyone still care about what he says.?
@@lynnebarnes3840 He was a good PM overall but he failed on certain things like this and immigration and his support of TPP.
Censorship has fully succeeded when we self censor. Stifling speech leads to the type of situation the UK has on it's hands at the moment.
2:47 no one should own the foreshore, or water. You are spot on. It's all Maori everything.
herald spreading disinformation on behalf of hobson pledge check it out
I can’t think of a single reason why middle NZ is deserting this country in droves……hmmm I wonder what’s behind it??

We hope not.
Within the UK, at the present time, there is "loud calls by many, that there is a 2 Tier Police System, across the Country". Not new, but has been building for some time. It is now very obvious that here in New Zealand we now have a 2 tier political system, on Maori, for which they have been working for some time, a 2 tier MSM who have "bent a knee", to matters Maori, and that the rest of New Zëaland is now "silenced", just as Michael has alluded to, for the Pakeha to now speak out has the potential for the NZ Police to now " implement (their) Hate speech Legal actions" (currently being implemented, thru internal training). When that happens, we also have a 2 tier Policing System.
It will be interesting to see what our South African immigrants will now do. I know of one Family seriously thinking of returning to South Africa.
We already have a 2 tier policing system. Just listen to Jacindas idealogue police commissioner.
Boycott the herald- simple
Agree with you Mr Laws.
National had a mandate to change this maori a fication and they are gutless .
In Australia- 60% of land now belongs to 3% of population.
None of it has been even mentioned in any paper, any left wing media.
Just one online Sky News Australia spoke about it.
How good is that!
This is getting pushed along after the referendum failed miserably.
The Labor government does not represent 97% of my country!
Good luck NZ, hopefully you are more vocal on these issues!
The Herald and its cohorts have been crooked for decades Kiwis are slow to learn To do nothing about discrimination is to condone it. In addition to not buying the rag boycott the advertisers. If you have time email those advertisers as well
Well said Michael 🥇
Don't even have to be non Maori to be censored. Even Maori with differing viewpoints from Te Pati Maori are now being called 'dirty bloods'. It's disgusting. Doubt many of them are 'pure blood Maori'. Don't they realise they are playing into the hands of those pulling the strings? A divided people are easier to conquer!
The Herald, Not 4 NZers…..
With regard to expressing opinion. Ordinary new zealanders never have been able to. It's not a new thing. I always have been under numberous aliases on line. I have no profile anywhere, never have had. It's the only thing that allows me to say what I damn well please without nasty consequences visiting me in real life.

Michael lays it out so well and with facts.
What about what the same people did to Lee Williams for a satire video of NZs king of Super Racists, Rawiri Waititi?
The media pool in NZ is quite tiny and owned by people who are not going to let anyone swim in that pool who are going to splash around too much. Those that do continue to bathe there know they only get to continue by only marginally disturbing the waters. A quite tempered style of swimming.

Bye Bye NZH go woke go broke
My limited understanding was that this was the price National had to pay in order to get the numbers from the Maori Party in order to form a government. Negotiated by Finlayson while he was also acting for Tainui...
The Maori roll should have been disestablished as recommended by the Commission that introduced MMP 30 years ago.

I thought we were taught to stand up to bullies... not capitulate to them. lol
"Interpretation" is causing all kinds of issues in this space
yes, the problem is the term customary title [denoting propriety ownership... exclusivity]. If it were instead customary rights [of usage] no problemo.
