  1. Our Speaker of the House of Representatives is on a bit of a junket, before, due to the pressures to be expected from Winston Peters, he is likely to be replaced some time soon:

    All such nice talk about the good international parliamentary work, few ‘parliaments’ being true democracies, entertaining, is it not?

  2. Not the mainstream media:…the background story

    ‘Trump targets Iran’

    “Objectively speaking, what is called the Iran nuclear deal is a milestone for non-proliferation and diplomacy. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran is in compliance with the agreement signed during the Obama administration. Donald Trump knows this. So why does he want to trash the agreement?

    CrossTalking with Mahan Abedin, Roozbeh Aliabadi, and Ian Williams.”

  3. I saw this on Freeview, a must see program:

    As I cannot find the full video on the web, here is at least some info:

    We are getting more and more ‘greenwashing’, even from the Green Party here in New Zealand, thinking we can simply trust big and not so big business to come up with acceptable solutions.

    I have my doubts, once we have corporations talk ‘green’ and ‘environment’, and continue making profits, a closer look will often show, they are not that honest, and are just ‘green washing’.

    Too many people fall for the propaganda.

    We need to go back to basics, and hence Greenpeace are right, when they do not accept any donations from governments or corporations.
