This weekend’s distribution of the GB Thinker edition will ruffle some feathers.

The Collingwood ‘Meet the Candidates’ meeting recently revealed a good number of questions about climate change from the floor, as the Government funds thinly-consulted plans on local rural townships and makes it harder for our farmers to farm… on the basis of mitigating an ideology that is widely accepted, but also contested by an unpopular few.

The issue raised by this edition is not whether or not you or I believe in climate change, it’s whether we’re being presented with all the honest findings from all the ongoing research. Most everyone has accepted it’s happening. But does the severity of the situation mean we hand over local main streets and farmers’ time and hard-earned profits to a Government with obligations to goals set overseas?

The West Coast/Tasman electorate candidates I wrote about in The Wild Card issue of the GB Thinker are both different, and they have different ideas. Their experience is wide ranging. Their track record has been not just for the people, but with the people, fighting unpopular corners for transparency and accountability. We have a unique opportunity in this electorate to vote people in to balance the more corporate backgrounds of others. Chris Luxon for example, who made big bucks for World Economic Forum partner, Unilever, before he managed Air New Zealand.

The party vote is a tricky one for most everyone I talk to this year. I’m glad I feel confident in my electorate vote. ~Sam.

Thanks to all those who made The GB Thinker possible, many of whom attended the celebration at the Love Boat Club last Sunday night, and to Dr Bruce, Marta, Sam, Nicola & NgAngA for their inspiring speeches. The event was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and share thoughts about where to focus our energies in the near future. Here's a lovely picture by Aisla of Marta & Sam at the celebration with the limited edition book of all 50 issues of the counter-narrative newspaper that ran from December 2021 to July 2023. We wish we could have afforded to print more copies than those we received orders for. Apologies to those we didn't manage to alert before the deadline - we did try to spread the message far and wide!

Dear wonderful supporters...
We have the option of printing and binding all 50 copies in order + the special edition in colour, for a keepsake of counter-narrative coverage since vax mandates split communities not just in Golden Bay, but across the country.
Could you indicate in the comments or by private message whether you'd be keen to support the creation of this Thinker memento. The more copies we print, the cheaper the cost - so let us know if this is something you'd like to get behind. We're looking at $50 a copy for 50 issues, for example.
Thanks!
The Thinker Team.

The GB Thinker was the brain child of Marta Barham and Samantha Blanchard in response to the evident censorship that our local, then sole, newspaper exercised in regards the manufactured health pandemic dubbed COVID19 and the government's response to it. In our golden issue, we reflect on the variou...

As censorship gained more and more prevalence in the landscape of NZ's media, so did the variety of entrepreneurial new journalistic sites and publishers sprout up to the surface. Our very own paper, The GB Thinker began out of the need to give voice to the gagged and ignored in our community. This....
