  1. Gawd! I just fucking despair at times. The willingness of this government to just accept the advice and word of their ‘officials’ without question.
    The latest: Tracey Martin’s attempt at shooting the messenger does her no good at all, and it’s fucking sad to see someone so dedicated and intelligent suffer from capture. (AS IT IS with others in the coalition)

    Tracey AND Jacinda – Watch.the.fucking.programme and then go fully equipped into the frey. Either that, or just knock back another Chardonnay and be buggered.

    ……. and I L-G: You’ve just had a pass and one or two close shaves already. MBIE is not your friend, but rather a set of people who first and foremost have their own best interests at heart, after which they might deign to get ‘on board’ with your thinking.

    And then there’s WINZ, and MPI, and NZTA, and various others.

    It’s no wonder the likes of Jonathan Boston and others are starting to have serious concerns – and they’re not exactly radical screaming bleeding hearts.

    Your ‘OFFICIALS’ are letting you down (and not those necessarily at the coal face, but rather those you interact with), and if you haven’t worked that out – you NEVER will.

  2. Yeth Minither! Lisping children follow the words of the big people, for today’s problems and the looming ones of tomorrow we need more people trained in the school of hard knocks I think; rather than Harvard et al. That is why ordinary men like Shane Jones, who is a dark horse in the race.
    But he seems real and not just a giant blown-up piece of PR.

    Soon they, the dreaded’ they’, won’t worry about getting suitable foot soldiers for political parties, they can build them with a 3D printer and a voice simulator. They will be more real than real, and will fascinate our facile, protean minds that love novelty, technology and machinery.

    • Auckland has all the brains and one of the best universities in the world at something. They will think of something. If they collect all the urine, screen it for wine, whisky and meth etc., run it through special filtered gravel in between plants at peace with the world, looking at the sunshine and absorbing all the remaining nasties and nitrates? then they will have a beverage of the age, using the results of their own excess cleverly turned from waste in haste to sparkling Waitemata water.
