If the answer is Richard Prebble – what the hell was the question?

So mad dog Prebble, the idealogical vandal of NZ economy is now the strategist for the ACT Party???

What other political zombies can ACT unearth from their lair in Epsom? How much virgin blood can ACT honestly collect from their ACT on Campus teenage libertarian supporters before it starts resembling a tax?

ACT seem to have mistaken the Green policy of recycling to include political corpses.

What Prebble can ‘offer’ ACT is a ruthless devotion to far right corporate crypto-fascist policies that would make Milton Friedman cringe.

Now Prebble’s ACTs new strategist, I’m waiting for his new book ‘I’ve been sinking’.

A far right, mass surveillance, homophobic and xenophobic ACT-National-Conservative Party-NZ First Government should provide all the incentive anyone with an education has to vote this year.

  1. … and yet, in a right-wing kind of way, it makes perfect sense. Prebble has the experience and the “credibility” in that he is one of the few ACT MPs (along with John Boscawen and Heather Roy) who don’t have skeletons banging around in their closets.

    Mind you, it certainly helps focus the attention of older voters who remember Prebble’s part in the Rogernomics “revolution” which tore up the social contract and sent New Zealand down the road of Rugged Individualism and the Me First culture.

  2. They’re fast learners in the ACT party, after all, resurrecting Roger Douglas as MP in 2008 worked wonders for their popularity as well.

      • Agreed, I hate that guy and his Kings College accent. Unfortunately I think the election will be lost to the young people who don’t have these memories. That is if it is lost, I haven’t given up hope yet. I just hope Labour has someone competent on social media because for some reason the younger generation seems to actually like DonKey. They need to be changing that perception.

  3. ACT as usual went with the devil they know instead of the guy who can get the job done. They don’t need Richard Prebble, they need Kenneth Branagh and lots of electric eels. They also ought to give some thought to what a monster might do if they succeed in creating one. Fascist states usually eliminate a bunch of early leadership for treason. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people.

  4. But think of the entertainment value if he arrived in Parliament again…

    There’s no one in National with even a tithe of his finesse and, now that Cullen is safely away, there’s no one in Labour or the Greens who can reliably match the Wicked Prebble. Mallard is – yeah, nah! And the rest are painfully earnest, stodgy. Except, maybe, Cunliffe…

    Be like watching Keating carving up the opposition. Might even improve the quality of the debating and the legislation. We can but hope.

  5. ACT are facing total destruction, annihilation and their final funeral, hence they are DESPERATE like a vampire smelling too much garlic and facing the dawn of the sun.

    So Mr White has apparently decided, we invite “an old friend” back in, to help us. I have no other explanation for this.

    Prebble is an old, white haired, still anything but “wise” man, who was by some called the “mad dog” of politics. He speaks in a funny way and is as “tuned in” with the reality of politics and society in 2014, as an 89 year old suffering Alzheimers and delusion would be aware and informed of the latest hit by Lorde, able to sing it.

    Prebble managing or leading a campaign is like having the pope run the advertising for Playboy.

    So calm down all, we are in for a lot of “fun” this year, ACT and Prebble making a total fool of themselves!

  6. Just listening to Prebble on radio live and he has stated that elections are won and lost in the middle, so why is he backing a far right party. The only thing I can think of is that he doesn’t actually realise that ACT’s economic policies are indeed, far right. Boy oh boy, do I wish people understood what right and left meant
