  • Opportunity Party’s 1.75% Land Tax: How It Could Hit Rents & Young Kiwis

    The day after New Zealand’s 2026 election, property commentator John Kenel (Property, Money and Common Sense) warns private landlords about the Opportunity Party’s flagship policy: an annual land value tax of 1.75% on urban unimproved land (0.5% on rural).

    He argues the tax will not simply lower house prices but will be passed on to tenants through higher rents. Using a simple calculation, he shows that a $500,000 land value could mean roughly $168 extra per week in rent just to cover the new tax.

    This video shares his post and calculation, then looks at the potential flow-on effects for New Zealand’s already stretched renters and young people trying to get into a family home — especially amid rising living costs and changing job markets.

    What do you think? Will landlords pass the cost on? Is this policy a genuine solution for housing affordability or a new burden on tenants?

  • Barry Young & Steve Kirsch - VSRF Live #240 - He Built the Database Then Blew the Whistle - Full Discussion

    In this in-depth VSRF Live interview, New Zealand whistleblower Barry Young recounts how he went from trusted senior Oracle database administrator at Health New Zealand to facing a potential seven-year prison sentence.

    After building and maintaining the national COVID vaccination payment system, he observed clear clusters of deaths in the data.

    When internal warnings were ignored, he made a protected disclosure and later released fully anonymised records.

    Barry explains that the actual criminal charges have nothing to do with leaking data - they relate solely to routine database exports he performed as part of his job weeks earlier.

    Nearly 1,000 days after his dramatic armed-police arrest he still has no trial date.

    He details how the original protected-disclosure email was hidden for almost a year, how forensic evidence collapsed under scrutiny, and how Health New Zealand’s own top lawyer declared any examination of the mortality data “unnecessary” while elevating a non-existent privacy breach above potential loss of life.

  • Latest Update on Legal Situation with Barry Young - 28 July 2026

    Here is Liz Gunn’s voice message update to Steve Kirsch who asked to have an update on the latest from how Barry Young’s court appearance went today in Wellington.

    Transcript:

    "Hey Steve, quick message.

    The judge said that he has all the documentation he thinks he needs.

    He, however, has not yet come to the point of making a decision on whether Barry is a whistleblower or not.

    To come to that point he said he will thoroughly read all the documentation now, after all these days, over 900 days.

    He will read it all now and he will either make a decision, which they call it in the courts, on the papers, which means he will issue basically an email to Barry saying, the court will issue an email saying you are a whistleblower, or you’re not a whistleblower before October the 20th, but the latest date for the decision is October the 20th.

    If he hasn’t made a decision on the papers by October the 20th, then he will make the decision known in court on October the 20th, 2026, at 2.15pm.

    That is the very outside last time when we will know whether Barry Young is deemed a whistleblower under the Protected Disclosures Act in New Zealand, or whether he is not deemed a whistleblower, in which case he will have to go to a full trial.

    So yet again, it is extended and extended.

    He’s been in this process for well over 900 days.

    It’s extraordinary, Steve.

    I hope that clarifies."

  • Andrew Bridgen & Barry Young: The Case That Could Decide the Future of Whistleblowers Worldwide

    On the eve of the hearing that will decide whether Barry Young qualifies as a whistleblower under New Zealand law, Andrew Bridgen joins him for a frank discussion about the global stakes.

    Bridgen explains why governments everywhere fear genuine whistleblowers and why Barry’s pure, single-operator dataset is uniquely powerful.

    Barry details the extraordinary lengths taken to bury his original protected disclosure email and the Crown’s ongoing refusal to let the court examine the very Data at the heart of the case.

    Together they reflect on the personal cost of speaking out, the shifting Overton window on vaccine harms, and why this ruling will send a message far beyond New Zealand. A short but significant conversation between two men who have both paid a heavy price for telling uncomfortable Truths.

  • Barry Young Full Interview: The Database, the Death Clusters & the Fight to Be Recognised as a Whistleblower

    In this landmark full interview, Barry Young - the senior Oracle DBA who built New Zealand’s COVID pay-per-dose vaccination database - tells his complete story.

    Fully supportive of the rollout at the beginning, he describes how he began seeing statistically impossible clusters of deaths linked to the same sites and days, including walk-in centres across all age groups.

    After making a protected disclosure to Health New Zealand’s executive leadership team, he faced swift retaliation: an armed police raid, physical injury, and years of legal warfare.

    Barry details the burying of key evidence, the Crown’s refusal to show the data to the judge, the personal anguish of carrying the knowledge for years, the colossal financial incentives of $30–35 per shot, and why the case ultimately boils down to one simple question - is he a whistleblower or not?

    He ends with a direct appeal to Winston Peters and a message of resolve: “Either way, we’re going to win.”

  • Andrew Bridgen in Budapest: Reiner Fuellmich Update, Nuremberg II Plans & Big Pharma’s Next Moves

    In this wide-ranging interview from Budapest, Andrew Bridgen updates listeners on his authorised call with imprisoned lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, which was mysteriously cut off as Reiner described his criminal abduction from Mexico by German authorities.

    Bridgen shares that Reiner remains resilient after nearly three years in prison and is planning a global “Nuremberg II” process - one major hearing with top expert witnesses whose evidence can then be used by every country to indict their own leaders.

    Bridgen also discusses his meeting with Hungarian biochemist Professor Laszlo (formerly of UCLA), who has been advising Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and believes a six-month clock is now ticking on mandatory double-blind saline placebo trials for COVID and other vaccines.

    The conversation covers threats facing RFK Jr., the role of adjuvants and modified mRNA, the recent attack on Anne Widdecombe, Tommy Robinson’s treatment, the ongoing case of journalist Alex Belfield, and the systematic use of lawfare against those who challenge official narratives.

    A candid discussion on the state of free speech, justice, and accountability across the West.
