Rex Ahdar, Emeritus Professor of Law, University of Otago
". . . elegantly plots the recent way-markers on the road to what could be the terminal decline of civilisation."
Simon Tomey, Business Consultant, UK
". . . weaves the strands of long experience, observation, and wide reading and learning to explain our broken relationship with our origins and the moral base that sustained us for so long."
Forrest Capie, Professor Emeritus, City University of London
". . . beautifully compiled and compelling narrative that avoids the trap of sentimentality or nostalgia, issuing a timely warning about the choices facing Western civilisation."
Rev. Dr. Michael Reid, Historian
"Logan’s commentary is replete with allusions from a rich and bountiful canon of literature, theology, and philosophy,
and points to a culture that can recover and find its ‘true north’ . . ."
Desirée Williamson-Lay, Leadership and Communication Consultant
"Written with clarity, laced with irony and humour, a must-read for all who seek to understand the people and events that have shaped the days in which we live."
Brendan McNeill, Entrepreneur and Investor
"Bruce lays down a compelling challenge, a wero, a heartfelt call to rediscover the transcendent Truths that once anchored our young nation."
Peter Juriss, Educator
"Bruce’s scholarship and wisdom both underscore the importance of examining where we’ve collectively been, to see where we’re logically headed."
Liesl Johnstone, Journalist
All cultures are equal. That is the premise that has dominated our politics and social theory for decades. Consequently, many of us have not come to terms with the erosion of belief in objective value. We have forgotten that culture and the story that explains it are fashioned by religious beliefs, which determine a nation's understanding of its humanity, its character, and legislation.
Multicultural theory, with its avant-garde trinity of diversity, inclusion, and equity, sustained by cultural relativism, must deny the existence of objective value. Truth becomes little more than a matter of opinion.
Those rights that most New Zealanders take for granted, such as religious freedom, freedom of speech, tolerance, freedom of movement and assembly, and equality before the law, are not universal; they did not develop in a vacuum. Multicultural theory presumes the Christian declaration of human dignity, on which all those values are based, but denies that it does so. It spins its notion of equality, and then attempts to apply it to a secular culture that has no foundation for any belief in human dignity.
The consequence is the loss of freedom and the establishment of an authoritarian civil religion. This book attempts to explain how all this has come about and what we should do about it.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
