Briefing for 5 Aug 2025

Police-backed govt website compares trans critics to Nazis

Penny Marie from Let Kids Be Kids exposes how New Zealand government money is backing extremist transgender activism that labels critics as Nazis, fascists, and even genocidal.

Marie reveals that a controversial “Anti-Transgender Extremism” document, published on the New Zealand Police website but authored by a charity primarily funded by government grants, brands anyone questioning trans ideology as hateful extremists.

Two high-profile abuse cases rock New Zealand institutions

Two high-profile figures, one a former National Party Cabinet Minister, the other a Deputy Police Commissioner, are now at the centre of separate but deeply troubling allegations involving the exploitation of children.

The two cases, though distinct, have exposed serious institutional blind spots.

Local elections face collapse amid candidate shortages and rising abuse

Nominations for October’s local body elections revealed several electorates with only one candidate, raising fears of uncontested seats and diminishing voter choice.

A last-minute surge ensured every council will hold elections for at least some seats, but political commentator Dr Grant Duncan warns of a vicious cycle: declining local media coverage and public interest contribute to fewer candidates and lower voter turnout.

Education shake-up brings back letter grades as government marks NCEA ‘not achieved’

The Government has proposed abolishing NCEA and replacing it with two new secondary school qualifications: the New Zealand Certificate of Education (NZCE) for Year 12 and the New Zealand Advanced Certificate of Education (NZACE) for Year 13.

A new Foundational Skills Award focused on literacy and numeracy will be introduced at Year 11. English and mathematics will be compulsory subjects at this level.

Methane pill for cattle moves closer to market, raising questions over safety and necessity

A slow-release methane-reducing bolus (a type of large pill used in veterinary medicine) for livestock may soon be trialled on NZ beef farms, pending regulatory approval.

Developed by Ruminant BioTech and backed by AgriZero, a government-industry venture, the pill contains tribromomethane (bromoform), a chemical compound found in seaweed and chlorinated water.

Trials reportedly show methane reductions of up to 70 percent over 100 days.

Official US report dismantles ‘settled’ climate science, deals heavy blow to Net Zero

A recent US Department of Energy report authored by five respected scientists challenges the decades-old claims underpinning ‘settled’ climate science and the political push for Net Zero emissions.

Despite its significance, mainstream outlets like the BBC and Guardian have largely ignored it.

Just 15 minutes of brisk walking a day can add years to your life, study finds

A new study outlines the heart health benefits of brisk walking and its potential to lower the risk of premature death.

Focusing on nearly 80,000 low-income and African-American participants aged 40–79 years in the US Southeast, researchers found that just 15 minutes of fast walking daily was linked to a nearly 20 percent reduction in mortality risk.
