of the Jews after slaughter at Nazi exterminat­ion camps during the Second World War.

The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, is now passionate­ly committed to accelerati­ng this war against our own children. She is committed to an agenda of changing our laws that will, in fact, coerce women into killing their children under the guise that abortion is not a crime but a simple health matter between a woman and her doctor.

This war has the full approval of our Government, who ensure its unlimited funding and who have disguised its true horror, by using the horribly euphemisti­c label of calling it an essential medical service.

The half-million children who have been killed were not a threat to society, almost entirely, only to lifestyle. These children came into life bringing gifts to enrich our society. All that they sought was to allow to be allowed to live, to love and to be loved. What they received was the cold blade of the scalpel.

This internecin­e war is also one waged against women, who are abortion’s second victims.

We should also mourn with the many fathers who often were unable to save their children from a violent death. New Zealand will continue to grow in violence, and never know true peace, nor can we claim to be a just society, until we stop making war on our own children. Well the upcoming Northcote parliament­ary byelection has certainly shown one thing conclusive­ly, ie the need (if there ever was one) or claim for Maori roll parliament­ary seats has absolutely no validity. Plus, in respect of local councils, there is no justificat­ion for preferenti­al Maori ward race-based seats.

Both major parties, National and Labour, have selected candidates in Northcote who claim Maori heritage (no matter infinitesi­mal) who they must think are capable and competent candidates. It is therefore clear that yet another person with Maori heritage will be the next Northcote MP, making 30 in Parliament.

What this proves is that those who play the Maori race card have as much chance as everyone else in attaining political office at the highest levels in New Zealand.

So let’s not downplay or taint people’s endeavours and aspiration­s based on merit and assist them to achieve their goals by opposing the race-based philosophy and nonsense that pervades the PC brigade.

This is a self-evident truth wake-up call for Kiwis to once and for all get rid of the separatist Maori roll parliament­ary seats and put a stop to all initiative­s for race-based Maori wards on local councils, along with any unelected race-based representa­tion.

This preferenti­al treatment is demeaning and reeks of racism, and we all accept that apartheid has no place in New Zealand.
