Surprise surprise, Key predictably u-turns on Red Peak – the man will do anything to keep his vanity project alive. Seems the flag isn’t distracting people enough from the TPPA, hungry children, unaffordable housing and an economy on the slow down anymore, so it’s time to wheel out the pandas…
Kiwi could be sent to China if it helped a New Zealand zoo secure giant pandas, Prime Minister John Key says.
Mr Key said he would be open to the possibility – which has been previously floated – about sending kiwi if it helped close or bring down the price of a deal.
As well as putting up taxpayer money, he could also talk to Chinese President Xi Jinping in an attempt to bring giant pandas here.
…the obviousness of it all is as sad as the fact that it will probably work.
Tim Groser the Trade Minister says NZ is 90% certain to sign TPPA that isn’t ‘gold plated‘ and what’s leading News? The bloody Red Peak nonsense. Maybe Key doesn’t need the pandas yet? The NZ electorate are as easy to distract as a British Prime Minister around pork.
Greens and Labour could not help themselves could they? They should both have not engaged and left the mess for “Keysie” to wear
a new group will probably be attracted to actually vote now and support Red Peak, but in the end a small split vote will likely result and referendum #2 will be interesting
if a minority of a minority ends up changing the flag dear leader will at least still have to wear that, along unfortunately now with the Greens and Labour!
Key was sounding strangely shrill at question time today – his voice was up an octave or two. Maybe he realises he will lose the fern-foisting plot if this bill is passed and the officials who flattered him into the role of fern flag champion will be very unhappy …
The worst bit is that he knows it, and is open about it. On RNZ this morning he proudly faux-mocked the media for being more interested in the panda side of his visit than meeting “whoever it was” official. Unbelievable.
But I can’t believe the amateurishness of the Green Party. Key was stuck up a flag cul-de-sac of his own making and they’ve just allowed him a way out! This thing has been quickly developing into an albatross for National. He wouldn’t have risked his beloved fern branding if we hadn’t had the poll showing that the majority of us are against swapping what we’ve got for any of the four crap designs. Labour’s suggestion had teeth since it would’ve led to this thing being done with in just one plebiscite. Now this will probably finally drum some interest – thanks to the sodding greens – and if we change for red peak Key is vindicated over the whole sad enterprise. I am NEVER giving money again to the Green Party of A/NZ!
+100…I am not giving any more money to the Green Party either…they will have to get it from the Blue Green newcomers…the Greens are fools!
I also hope the other Parties get very intelligent high ability, high ranked spokespeople on Climate Change eg David Cunliffe …and then I will reconsider my vote for the Greens ie I probably won’t vote for them.
Maybe we should only talk about TPP to let Key know we arnt interested in his false flag distractions and his very expensive pandas, Key will be offering a night out with Richie Mc Caw as a distraction he thinks nzs only bother about fishing and rugby,lets show him what we really care about,
We need to tell every MP that supports TPP we will never vote for them ever again.
Thinking of not voting for Key at next election ,if Tpp goes ahead we wont have a choice to vote ,he and Illuminati(bankers and corporations) will control everything, we will not have any freedom to vote.
Sir Richie McCaw for a list spot on National’s list next elections. At which time the PM will suddenly remember he supported the Springbok Tour because he contacted his good friend Nelson and asked his opinion on the matter and Mandela said “Sure, go ahead”.
But only if we win the World Cup.
If not, amnesia will set in again regarding the Tour. Three-way handshake with Sir Sam Cane in Japan.
Sported
Here is something even more disturbing than TPP. Its called TISA http://wolfstreet.com/2015/09/22/uruguay-does-unthinkable-rejects-global-corporatocracy-tisa/
The immorality of these agreements is hard to believe
Saw today at 2.30am Grosser is livid that NZ wont be getting the dairy deal,Key says Grosser may not continue negotiations.
Suppose that means Key will take over,he dosnt care what the deal is as long as his puppet masters are pleased at the outcome.
It looks as though the Tppa is foundering other countries not agreeing to things affecting their countries
USA is the only country getting what it wants, but if deal not signed they get nothing same as everyone else.
“ALL CARE AND NO RESPONSIBILITY” IS THE TERM BEST TO DESCRIBE THIS SHALLOW, HOLLOW MAN APERT FROM “IRRESPONSIBLE”.
THIS IS ALL A JOKE TO HIM, AS HE IS SO DETATCHED FROM REALITY, (OBVIOUSLY BY CHOICE) AND EVERYTHING IS JUST A PLAYTHING TO HIM.
WHY DONT THE OTHER HALF OF THE POPULATION SEE THIS????
Cleangreen I imagine the pandas are a distraction, but also with price of pandas quoted one wonders how much Key will make out of the deal.
Keys wealth is estimated at $50million but bet its a whole lot more.
Key knows how to hide and “aquire” money ,hes been at the helm of asset sales and its to be sure he bought shares in everything on sale.plus other ways we cant be sure of .
@ ELLE – and possibly be well compensated as well by his foreign masters, for stealing assets from Kiwis!
Well if a British Prime Minister loves his pork – this one loves being pigheaded.
The two ‘P’s…
Ponytails and pork.
And both tell porkies.
And now we can add a third one – Panda’s.
Panda’s , Ponytails and Pork.
Time to show the ‘red flag ‘ to all three.
give us a panda or two..we’l give you hone ki..
No, National won this time. They put it to Labour, then Labour decided to play the political game as well and add their own terms.
The winners here are the Greens and National. Labour has been outplayed, again.
The losers are New Zealand!
“The winners here are the Greens and National “…are you kidding?
$26 million on the stupid flag, $100 million on pandas, what next?
How about some plans to get NZ debt under control and start repaying some of it or leave it to the next Government?
Can we have a Panda Flag please?
Reasons.
1. There are many Chinese immigrants and house owners in NZ.
2. Panda flag begins with P, Red Peak begins with R, so no confusion.
3. Panda begins with P and so does Ponytail, which will deflect attention from our PM when people think of the letter P.
4. Panda begins with P, so does Pope and pontiff, so this will appeal to Catholic Kiwis.
5. Prime Minister and Panda, both begin with P.
Problem solved
it is all about pandering
RED PEAK…jonkey’s REAL choice ( ha ha fooled the Greens and Labour …but not NZF)
RED PEAK the logo for Active Security Group

( aint that clever?)
Nazi sentry box.

( aint that clever too?)
Ooh, pandas!
Suddenly the TPPA and selling our sovereignty to faceless unelected corporations for a mess of potage seems SO unimportant…
When you run the NZ Government by poll and focus group we get this embarrassing cluster that is now the “Red Peak”. This industrial corporate logo is supposed to win over the masses from Keys dying flag distraction campaign, but it wont, it’s an ugly compromise looking for a cause.
National have lost the plot, whether its Nick Smith idiotic self certifying builders thus forgetting his role in the 90s deregulating the building industry giving us a generation of leaky homes or the increasingly strange behaviour from Paula Bennett with her fake “loopy rules” farce.
One has to safely assume while these circuses continue the focus will be off our faltering economy, the selling off of entire suburbs of state housing will plough on unnoticed and the hideous TPPA will get signed off.
How about we spend the next twelve months gathering about us an army then swarm our parliament and throw fucking jonky out on his BMW massaged arse ? Truly, I’m really getting bored with this.
Actually , fuck it. We have an army. And a police force . Lets insist they do their jobs. Perhaps instead of pinging their braces at ANZAC day mournings or arresting people for smoking dried out yet pleasant and harmless plant material?
This is all getting beyond farcical when we have serious poverty and societal issues that’ll echo down through generations. Flag wankery and now a dopy fucking panda ? We already have a large useless fluffy white beast. paula bennett. Can we afford another costly mistake of nature?
I have an idea . How about we encourage jonky to become ever more pervy and spendy with our tax money? Let’s see what he comes up with ?
The annual shaved baboon in a gimp suit appreciation society Ball ? A wank-A-thon ? National Hair Day ? Tug Me Baby T shirts ? Sneer-down fake noses ? Jonky’s Yeah-Nah collection of best back peddles to organ music ? ( A real toe tapper ) The grip-bullies grab-A-girl by her hair exercise routine for limp wrist’d currency traders, platinum edition ? The Hawaiian shirt for traitors in fluro bullshit colours for charity auction?
The ‘ I sold you out to Zionist war merchants who also kill children for profit comic book series ‘ ? Jonky’s snarky snipes in our houses of parliament while costing us millions collectors series of tapes , books and records ? Embroidered hair stuffed novelty cushions showing Naked Jonky in alluring poses ? The mincing Ninnies guide book to Wellingtons best hair salons ? ( Get free hair, a box of tissues and alone time in a private booth with every copy sold. )
This little dick, jonky’s making this shit up. He’s a conman on a roll and can’t believe how lucky he is that he’s got us kind , good , generous , trusting Kiwis to prey upon. He must feel like a little king wallowing in your money. He’s got our country in a state of panic and he’s loving it.
Haha…. I’ve got to say , COUNTRYBOY…. you’ve got more humour and soundbite material there that would sink John Ansell if you set up an advertising company in opposition to him !!!
You know its interesting how John Key came in on the coattails of Don Brash….he actually isn’t that original after all. All of the framework was done and ready there for him.
The sign up with Crosby Textor, …the dirty politics of Karl Rove in attacking the strong points of a leader….
The only thing missing from the Don Brash era was the pamphlet drop by the Exclusive Brethren…
But we still have the old privatization by stealth and the old ‘ leave it til the last term to sell it all off ‘ tactic…
How we all let ourselves get played for a song by these comic fraudulent spivs – year after year after year after year….and never learn their tactics … like the idiot who keep’s doing the same thing time after time expecting different results…
Because that’s who they are…overly high payed con men and spivs – it really is a carefully staged con act… akin to any backstreet black-market dealer complete with his look out on the corner making sure the law hasn’t seen them…
And as far as National is concerned… there really hasn’t been much change from Brash to Key…if you closely at their core platform , its the same.
The exact same policies that Don Brash wanted to enact is virtually the same as Key is endeavoring to.
…………………………
Look at it….the attack on welfare – completed under Key.
The privatization of fundamental state owned assets such as state housing and sold off to foreign buyers and privatized prisons and charter schools – done under Key.
Don Brash’s reversal of anti nuclear policy and the ‘ gone by lunchtime ‘ to facilitate greater USA influence here – about to be done by Key with the TTPA.
Moving closer to USA foreign policy agreements and under the umbrella of the USA not the UN…done under Key by committing our troops to Iraq…. ” Get SOME GUTS !!!! ”….
……………………………………………………………………………………….
New Zealand ….. the flag is a non issue and a distraction…. its simply a trick of slight of hand.
A new flag means nothing to Key . Its a convenient tool. A con mans trick to distract from the real motive of shifting your view away from what he really wants… that TTPA being signed.
And since when did John Key give a rats shit about Panda’s?
Since when did John Key give a rats shit about All Blacks ?
The Answer? …when he was advised to by Crosby Textors. That’s when.
New Zealand – you , me , we’ve all got to wise up about these characters .
For too long we’ve been soft on dishonesty and slight of hand , – for too long we’ve been letting ourselves get starstruck by flashy stage-shows , elaborate waffle , convenient memory losses and orchestrated soundbites.
Played for fools.
Panda’s.
Panda’s and Ponytails.
……………………………..
NB : message to Ansell.
I don’t support any particular party myself. The difference between you and me is that you support any party that supports the now proven failed neo liberal ideology – complete with porks heads and ponytail puller’s .
Hope your proud of that .
And you can send your donations for a box of tissues to Cameron any time you like. And send my congrats to Jeremy Corbyn while your at it as well , please , sir.
As for me – I’m not only proud – but relieved – to support Social Democracy and Keynesian economics – and whatever party supports that.
And mark my words , son – its coming around a second time.
Key’s desperation to be remembered as the person who changed the flag, regardless of public opinion, is obvious. He is a complete narcissist and functions at the level of an obnoxious 12-year-old boy.
That Key used a fundraising event for the Gynaecological Cancer Foundation to question people about their views on the flag, and criticise those who want to keep the current flag, proves that his narcissism, and lack of dignity and integrity, know no bounds.
Another desperate, pathetic move from Key and his cronies is labelling Andrew Little “Angry Andy.” Key shouts this epithet repeatedly in Parliament. Sadly for Key, it hasn’t caught on, because anyone with insight knows that the label has no foundation.
National is becoming increasingly desperate. The Greens should be ashamed of themselves for throwing Key a lifeline with regard to the flag (non) issue. They should’ve left him floundering.
One more step towards Republicanism , perhaps?
Not for this old boy I’m afraid…too much like Bolger and the other neo liberals since then for my liking .
And to date ? …I’ve not seen one good thing from any neo liberal govt or any neo liberal PM in all the 35 years its had its destructive tentacles wrapped around this country.
Retain the current flag and make Key look an even bigger fool than he is now.
So the middle class wankers are now enabling National?
Only to be expected with Shaw but why have we heard so little from Metiria Turei since the leadership election?
The four choices of flag were so bad that the stars ‘n’ jack would have been the only option. Dear Leader would have been snookered. The addition of red peak now gives Dear Leader an escape clause when his stupid fern isn’t selected.
Labour should stick with boycotting the referenda and we should continue to spoil and foil.
Spoil and foil…
Nazi Peak, Isis fern, tea towels, or a monkey’s butt.
How about an actual flag, oh wait, we already have one.
Just another distraction to cover up another lie, while trying to push for the signature on the TPPA, and at the same time holding on to dear life of the secrecy of the text that once revealed will find Key and Co. in some very deep shit. But that will all be gone by the time they lift the veil off the secrecy.
Best anyone from the legal administration grow some balls and sue Key, for what it’s worth.
Ah yes, the Blue-Greens are showing their true ”colours” (i.e toxic, as per Cyanobacteria) with this get-out-of-jail card for Key. I’m afraid their new guy – what’s-his-name – even looks like a dyed-in-the wool Tory.
As for pandas – aren’t people ”over” these by now?
Keys son max gets lots of comments on twitter,one is “i hate your father wish he was dead”
Max must get a hard time because of his father,bet hes ashamed and embarrassed.
There must be someone in NZ that has money and the guts to sue Key for crimes against NZ.
