I follow a doctor on X named Zoe Harcombe, from the UK. She just posted her Digital I.D. experience when dealing with a real estate agent… and it’s so outrageous I thought I would share it as a warning to always read the small print!
The agent asked her to digital verify with something called Credas
She checked the small print and found the following….

Last Wednesday, U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah introduced a new bill that would require the United States to withdraw from the post-WWII international military alliance.
The bill, which Lee named the “Not A Trusted Organization (NATO) Act,” would require the president to provide notice of the United States’ withdrawal from the treaty and prohibit the use of U.S. funds from going to NATO budgets.
In a statement, Lee said the departure from NATO is “long overdue.”
“NATO has run its course — the threats that existed at its inception are no longer relevant 76 years later,” the statement read. “If they were, Europe would be paying their fair share instead of making American taxpayers pick up the check for decades. My legislation will put America first by withdrawing us from the raw deal NATO has become.”
It came after the Brussels elite rejected the 28 point peace plan (see earlier post) from Washington with silly counterproposals they knew the Russians will not accept. “We will only agree to peace if Ukraine becomes a de facto NATO member (Article 5).” Mike Lee calls the Europeans notions “crazy, suicidal, and escalatory.”

The head of the French armed forces said his country must be prepared to send its children to die in a war with Russia.
“Russia is convinced that the Europeans are weak. However, we are strong, fundamentally stronger than Russia,” Chief of the French Defense Staff General Fabien Mandon [next to Macron in the above pic] said. “We have all the knowledge, all the economic and demographic strength to dissuade Moscow’s regime. What we are lacking, and that is where you have a major role, is the strength of soul to accept pain to protect what we are.”
He added, “If our country is weak because it is not ready to accept losing its children — because it’s better to say things clearly — [and] to suffer economically because the priority will be the defence sector, then we are at risk.”
He made the remarks earlier this week at the congress of the Association of Mayors of France. He urged the local leaders in attendance to inform their constituents of his assessment.
French President Macron has emerged as a firm backer of NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. European leaders have warned that Moscow is planning to reconstitute the Soviet Union and invade NATO countries.
However, Russian forces only control about 20% of Ukraine, and President Vladimir Putin has offered to end the war with Ukraine only ceding the Donbas and parts of two southern provinces.
Ukrainian President Zelensky met with European leaders in France earlier this week. A significant issue that was discussed is the bloc’s attempt to cover a massive budget deficit in Ukraine. The President of the European Commission said that the EU would need to provide Kiev with $150 billion over the next two years.

They are the candidates for National and Labour respectively for the Kapiti seat. As mentioned in an earlier post, the redrawing of the electoral boundaries has seen the Otaki seat abolished and instead all of Kapiti Coast, as well as Pukerua Bay, Plimmerton, Mana and Whitby become the Kapiti seat.
The Mana seat also disappears and a new seat called Kenepuru has been created consisting of Porirua and some of what is currently Ohariu.
There will also be minor party candidates and we’ll mention them next year.
Tim Costley’s media release–
Local MP Tim Costley has confirmed he will be standing once again in the 2026 General Election. “I’m passionate about our region, motivated by service, and focussed on the people who make this region so great, and finding ways to help them.
“It has been a huge honour to serve as MP, and I’m as energised and focussed as ever to continue in this special role.”
Costley says the highlight of his time as local MP has been the people he’s helped and the difference he’s been able to make locally. “I think of one woman who came to my office for help with nowhere to live. That afternoon she had keys to a new house. Transformational! I think of the man who had waited years for surgery with no support, and I was able to get him booked in. I think of the young family who needed help to secure a visa to keep their family together, or the young mum who needed some extra support that I could organise.
“Most people wouldn’t know their stories if you passed them on the street, but I’ve been privileged to hear their stories, to walk alongside them, and to see the difference a good local MP can make. I genuinely believe that one person at a time, we are changing this community for the better.”
Costley lists other key local achievements as being better healthcare and transport connections. “Through my strong advocacy, and at times fighting tooth-and-nail, I’ve secured new health facilities in Kapiti including the new permanent BreastScreen facility, better radiology, and a new health shuttle trial. In terms of transport it’s hard to beat winning a much better design for the new expressway from Ōtaki to Levin, and signed contracts for new electric trains to connect Kapiti to Horowhenua and Manawatu.”
“I care about the direction our country is heading in and what my kids, and everyone’s children, will grow up to inherit. That’s why I’m standing for National, because I believe we need a Government who can make the tough decisions that will lead us to more affordable living, better education outcomes for our children and grandchildren, a health system that delivers for our region, and safer communities.
Costley, an RNZAF pilot until elected as our MP in 2023, is the current MP for Ōtaki. He will be standing for the newly-named Kapiti electorate next year, which includes all of the Kapiti Coast and extends as far south as Whitby.

Sophie Handford’s media release–
The Labour Party has made a positive move in securing its future by selecting former Kāpiti Coast District Councillor Sophie Handford as its candidate for the new Kāpiti electorate in next year’s general election.
Handford first came to national prominence when leading a nationwide Climate protest while still a student at Kāpiti College.
“I’m really proud to be standing for Labour here at home. Kāpiti has shaped me. It’s where I learned the value of community and looking out for one another. I want our electorate to have an MP who is present, listens, and focuses on what really matters to people, says Handford who was elected as one of New Zealand’s youngest ever Councillors at age 18 and has always looked well suited to higher office.
“We can build a future where the economy works for everyone, now and in years to come. We can take real pressure off the cost of living, make it easier to get in to see a doctor, and back good jobs that give people a future here in New Zealand. We can look after our people, and papatūānuku. That’s the direction I want us to head in.
“Kāpiti is full of people who care deeply about this place. I’ll be out talking with as many locals as I can, hearing what’s working, what’s not, and where we can do better.
“Building on my experiences in campaigning and local government, I look forward to being the voice for Kāpiti in Parliament,” says Handford.
Handford was raised in Paekākāriki and now lives in Waikanae. She served two terms on the Kāpiti Coast District Council representing the Paekākāriki–Raumati Ward. Before getting involved in local government, she founded School Strike for Climate NZ and helped organise one of the biggest protests in recent New Zealand history, bringing over one hundred and fifty thousand people together across the country. On Council, she chaired the Strategy, Operations and Finance Committee and worked alongside local groups on environmental restoration, housing challenges, community initiatives and decarbonising the district.
Both Tim and Sophie are very nice people and regardless of party support we ask readers to be nice to them in turn — don’t indulge in personal attacks. —Eds
Across New Zealand, schools are declaring that they will “give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi” but what does it actually mean?
Many parents assume this means teaching New Zealand history or acknowledging Māori culture. In reality, in modern policy language, it means something far more structural.
To “give effect” to Te Tiriti generally means embedding Treaty ‘principles’ into governance, leadership, and decision-making. It often involves defining power-sharing arrangements, treating Māori as governance partners, and redesigning institutional systems around ‘Treaty-based’ frameworks.
This is not merely education. It is a constitutional and governance shift.
The idea of “partnership” is modern — not original
New Zealand did not operate as a partnership state for most of its history.
The modern concepts of “partnership”, “principles of the Treaty,” and co-governance emerged largely in the 1980s through court decisions and Waitangi Tribunal reports. These ideas are not written into the original 1840 texts.
What is happening now is not preservation of an old system. It is the adoption of a modern constitutional interpretation that remains highly contested within public debate.
SchoolZoning denies parents real choice
This is the crucial issue.
Families are legally compelled to send their children to their zoned state school, unless they can afford private or integrated alternatives.
In practice, parents now face only four options:
Accept their ZONED co-governance state school
Pay for private schooling
Accept an integrated faith-based school
Or home schooling.
That is not freedom. That is coercion through zoning.
If schools are fundamentally diverging in governance model, worldview, and constitutional philosophy, then zoning must not be used to trap families into schools they did not choose.
Parents must be emancipated from zoning where philosophical divergence exists.
Governance and consultation problems
Many Boards of Trustees have not held public meetings since the 4th November 2025 government announcement of law change, yet declarations have already been issued.
This raises serious questions:
Were full board meetings held?
Were votes taken?
Were parent representatives consulted?
Were families asked their views?
There appears to be no evidence of meaningful community consultation before these commitments were made.
Public schools do not belong to administrators. They belong to families and the public.
Structural failures inside Boards of Trustees
Boards depend almost entirely on unpaid parent volunteers.
Many schools struggle to attract candidates.
Many elections are uncontested.
Some boards cannot fill positions at all.
Where parent governance is weak, real authority naturally shifts to those who are:
Paid
Trained
And present inside the system every day
This means professional education staff increasingly shape governance direction. This is not a criticism of principals and teachers. It is a structural design flaw.
Barriers to access and transparency
In many schools there is:
No public phone contact for the Board
No direct public email address
No transparent route to communicate directly with trustees
Parents are forced to funnel concerns through school offices.
There is no assurance concerns reach elected trustees.
That is not democratic governance.
Where real power now sits
The speed with which more than a thousand schools issued these declarations matters. It suggests decisions were driven administratively, not democratically.
When constitutional-level statements can be issued without visible parental mandate, the governance model no longer matches what parents were told it was.
This is the real issue.
Reform is necessary
If schools are adopting divergent constitutional and governance models, then:
Parents must be clearly informed
Zoning must not be used to trap families
Governance must be transparent
Community consent must be real
Either parent trustees must be paid and professionalised, or the governance model must be redesigned completely. Public education cannot function long-term without legitimacy.
Parents deserve transparency. Parents deserve choice. Parents deserve an education system that does not coerce them through zoning.
