Sounds concerningly familiar. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurembe... A quick comparison, for those playing along at home:

Rnz article screenshot of Peter's rhetoric. Sections mentioning allegiance, privilege, formal bond, responsibility and questioning the right of permanent residents to have a say highlighted. Text follows:

Announcing his new policy on Sunday, party leader Peters said voting "should be a privilege of those who have sworn allegiance to New Zealand, and who have made the commitment to make New Zealand their home and their future".

"If you haven't made that commitment or sworn that allegiance, we are happy to let you live here permanently, but why should you get a say in how this country is run or governed?" he said.

"New Zealand First will restore the basic democratic principle that the right to decide New Zealand's future belongs to New Zealand citizens."

Peters said permanent residence granted rights to live, work, study and build a life in New Zealand, but citizenship "is the formal bond of allegiance, belonging, responsibility, and democratic authority".

I'm wearing an Aotearoa aeternum hoodie in black with white writing and NZ raven skull, large black sunglasses, black wireless headphones, and dimple piercings; my long brown hair is tied back.

I suck so bad at taking selfies when tired 😭 Helped out a little with community wetland planting. Google fit is full of shit with that heart points number, I suppose tree planting is not quite the same as gardening though. ✌🏻🍃 Sweat With Pride 🌈 📆 Day 19/30 [1/2]

An attempt at a smiling selfie in front of the native plantings, but it seems to have come out looking like a bit of a grimace. Oops. Clearly out of breath. My hair is tied back and I am wearing my purple-rimmed glasses, dimple piercings, and a black t-shirt from Pepper Racoon that says "Aotearoa Wild" in it in gold and has a pretty cool print that you can't see much of at all.
overlaid are my google fit exercise stats: afternoon gardening, 1h 39m active time, 2 heart points. That last stat I think is kinda suss.

A freshly planted area of former paddock, ready to be transformed back into wetland. Is already quite wet, but still covered in grass. Complete with water trough on the right edge of the image. In the background on the bank you can see a range of already well-developed plantings. I didn't get a list of actual plants we put in, but are all natives. There was definitely a bunch of harakeke, Idk What else. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A view of the path at Till's lookout, as the sun is starting to set. The path winds its way out into the distance, toward Mount Pirongia in the South-West. The track is paved concrete, and it's surrounded by bright green grass the maunga appears blue against the golden hues of the setting sun. There are cows grazing in the fields in the middleground on the lefthand side of the image, on the other side of a wooden panel fence.

Wearing the usual pounamu, black headphones, purple framed glasses, dimple piercings, long hair tied back. Today's t-shirt is a Resist design from Illicit custom. I am an emo kid at heart so yk. Shirt has a stylised depiction of a Palestine flag version of one of Kneecap's trademark balaclavas. Below it says Resist and there are downward pointing red triangles (like on the flag) below the word. I like this shirt, those terrorism charges were kinda bullshit huh.

For me, part of pride is the sincere belief that a better, kinder world is possible. We can and should look after one another and celebrate our differences. I'm sweating for an hour every day in June to raise money for the queer orgs doing that mahi. [1/2]

I'M SWEATING
THIS JUNE BECAUSE
We can do better 💖

💦 Sweat With Pride 🌈 📆 Day 2/30 📍 Waikato River ride 🚶‍♀️ 💰 $300/1050 🔗 www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/… 🎧 Bob Vylan — Humble As The Sun: tidal.com/album/323038118/u #sweatwithpride #Kirikiriroa

Google Fit Afternoon walk , map with stats. The path goes from Alexandra Street to the Waikato River Walk, and along that track up past Whitiora, then back to Victoria Street. 1h 5 m Active time, 5.73km, 38 heart points.

It's me in front of the large storm water outlet (which I don't know the name of) near the Whitiora Bridge. I am on a foot bridge and the tunnel it runs through is below me. You can see a fair way in and it's massive and concrete, there is some graffiti. I'm wearing black wireless headphones, a gray jacket, a black backpack, and a black top with a lace collar, as well as a pounamu in the shape of a mere. I have large black sunglasses on, and my long brown hair is tied back. I have dimple piercings.

A view from the north toward Whitiora bridge, which is in the distance. It's golden hour, and the light reflecting off of the Waikato river in blue, golden foliage, and the white painted concrete of the bridge makes a nice contrast. It's a sunny, near cloudless day.
