NZ Loyal is hosting a Monica Smit meeting in the Brynderwyns on Tuesday 17th February at 7pm

Come along to the Skyliner 4800 SH1, Waipu to meet Monica and the NZ Loyal team.

Kelvyn sits down with Finlay Smith, a five-year independent advocate, to expose what he uncovered inside Fire and Emergency New Zealand — and why New Zealanders should be deeply concerned.

On the day this video was recorded, Kelvyn and Finlay visited three frontline fire stations: Mangere, Papatoetoe, and Onehunga — speaking directly with crews on the ground.

It’s very clear our Firefighters don’t want to be on strike, they want to respond to New Zealander’s 111 calls with confidence – they are passionate, dedicated and take their jobs very seriously.

This conversation covers: • Fire trucks and critical equipment that don’t work

• Firefighters sent to medical emergencies without medical training
• Crews forced to stand by while people die waiting for ambulances
• PTSD, suicides, cancers, and long-term trauma
• Unsafe stations (mould, asbestos, degraded facilities)
• Communities paying more while frontline capability declines

Finlay’s involvement began after media coverage — including from The New Zealand Herald — framed firefighters as “greedy.” What he found on the ground told a very different story.

The discussion also revisits the 1995 Citizens-Initiated Referendum, where 87.82% of voters rejected cuts to professional firefighters — a public decision later ignored as “non-binding.”

With $750 million a year flowing into the system, this raises serious questions about governance, accountability, and public safety.

Kelvyn calls for:

• A forensic audit of Fire and Emergency NZ.
• Transparency around procurement and spending.
• Political accountability — including criticism of Brooke van Velden.

This isn’t about party politics.
It’s about community safety, frontline workers, and lives that depend on a system that must work.

As the festive season arrives, we extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May you have a very Merry Christmas filled with joy, peace, and cherished moments with family and friends. Yuletide Greetings to all who celebrate this ancient tradition of light and renewal.

Yesterday, we caught up with Paul Ballantine, President of the Whangārei branch of the NZPFU (New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union). He discussed the dire situation within Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) and highlighted the long list of issues our firefighters deal with every day.

The NZPFU is advocating for better working conditions, progress on collective agreement bargaining, improved mental health and medical support (particularly for cancer and asbestos-related issues), recruitment, and an urgently needed overhaul of FENZ’s ageing appliance fleet and equipment.

Facilitation between the NZPFU and FENZ is ongoing. Unfortunately, after meetings held recently, the NZPFU has stated that they were disappointed with the lack of reasonable progress made. Due to FENZ’s scheduling constraints, it’s unlikely the parties will meet for further bargaining again this year.

They state on their website that there has been a surge of support from both the public and volunteer brigades – don’t let this be swept under the carpet; keep the pressure on.

NZ Loyal backs our firefighters, and we ask you to do the same. They deserve better: the right tools to do their job and save lives, and the assurance of getting home safely to their own families!

You voice is the megaphone, lets amplify it.

NZ Loyal deputy leader, John Alcock, joins Paul Brennan to discuss his petition calling for a pause on any centralised or mandatory digital ID in New Zealand. He warns that banking-app IDs and overseas laws like the UK’s Online Safety Act show how such systems can enable mass surveillance, data breaches and AI-driven identity theft. Alcock instead advocates user-controlled, decentralised solutions and stronger parental responsibility—not government overreach—to keep children safe online.

John’s Petition: Independent Review of Digital ID Systems

Full video of our chat with Pete Verhoeven and Michelle about NZ Loyal and the state of New Zealand from their perspective.

John Alcock updates us on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC’s) after the groundwork he laid down eighteen months ago on this podcast.

Within the last couple of weeks, two of the biggest NZ Banks have implemented mandatory behavioural and device-level surveillance as a condition of online and mobile banking.

The customer cannot opt out.

They justify it as fraud prevention but go far beyond what is proportionate.

And this is only the beginning.

We discuss where to after this, and much more.
