KIWI LIFE – Amy Brooke
The takeover of both our major chains has been not overnight, but part of the white-anting of all our institutions, that long internal attack by well-placed ideologues programmed in the best possible tactics to undermine Western democracies. The contrast in this country is marked from the 1980s and early 90s, when I was fortunate enough to write under editors of fierce integrity. A columnist for seven years for our capital city newspaper, I was free from editorial interference – adhering to ‘facts are sacred, comment free’ – until the arrival of a new editor. Then, by refusing to remove a deserved tribute to two other writers (one of whom had previously beaten the present editor to the position he now held) I was sacked from the Dominion – subsequently finding that writers asking where my columns had gone had their correspondence suppressed.
A pointer to the way the weathervane was swinging was the subservience now shown to radical activists. It’s significant that until the Sixties, New Zealand had an enviable record of racial harmony. So much were intermarriage and mutual respect taken for granted that there are no longer any full-blooded Maori. Many today claiming discrimination and disadvantage are well-heeled agitators with minimal Maori genetic inheritance. But with the Marxist Trojan Horse now embraced by our all-important media, with its enormous influence on public opinion, everything has changed.
