Watching Judith manage to douse herself inย petrol and then light a match to it over the last 24 hours is a bewildering reminder that she does this toย herself.
It’s reminiscent of the last week of theย election campaign when she for no reason whatsoeverย decided to attack fat people. She just can’t help being vicious, it’s what she does and we love her for it!
Judith’sย decision to call the Mฤori Health Authority ‘segregation’ is less a dog whistle and more a canine trumpet but who is listening?
This flagrant race baiting is designed not to win over anyone who voted Labour in 2020, it’s a blunt and crassย attempt to win back Right wing vote that National are haemorrhagingย to ACT.
As TDB has been pointing out since theย election, ACT have become the defacto Right Wing Values Party and their rise isn’t a fluke, it’s a trueย realignment on the Right, but this race baiting crap isn’t where ACT are making inroads, they are gaining traction from authentic Right Wing value issues likeย freedom of speech, gun rights and culture wars.
Judith using ‘segregation’ will appeal to those men who refer to Jacinda as ‘Cindy’, but National have already won that vote.
This entireย segregationย episode comes off as an act of desperationย while also sounding politically schizophrenic. Let’s not forget, the only reason Judith is talking abut this isย because of the National Partyย review of their disastrousย election campaign which found National were too racist andย needed to bash Mฤori less and become more diverse!
Judith’s response to a report calling for more diversity and less Mฤori bashing is to declare no ethnic ‘quotas’ while calling out Mฤori aspirations in Health as cross burning racists.
I mean, what the fuck is she doing?
I think this is disastrous from Judith and a total misread of the electorate. Theย reactionary vote ย that Don Brash surfed with his Orewa Speechย coalesces around Woke microย aggression policing and culture war hot buttons now, not Mฤori gaining their own Health Authority.
This is clumsy, ill thought out and mildly racist, which kinda sums up the National Party right now.

Both the National and Labour party were buried with the remains of their foundational values in the early eighties. I don’t know who these clowns are anymore. Just two groups of hateful homicidal idiots.
Haha yes nicely put.
I almost feel sorry for National. Anyone with a brain knows how poor our heath system has become, with any culture. I for one am beyond thinking one system fits all, ours almost fits no one. If a Maori run sub system delivers positive results then fantastic. No one cares Judith about your beliefs anymore.
Housing however is one area anyone but National could make hay from. Labour have been a disgrace and continue to be so. But we all know National spent 9 long years ensuring the next government walked into a meltdown. They could not flog off social housing fast enough. National did not give a shit. Their very DNA prevented them giving a shit. They loved poor non voting people suffering. Trouble is the public know that and now ignore Nationals new found care for this problem.
Tough being National nowadays.
And yet our side has been flogging off state houses too. Two sides of the same coin. Labour is no better than National and in many cases worse and vice versa.
Dogs don’t whistle they bark and there is a lot of barking going on in the National party.
Bit disappointing to see that political debate in this country is still to get past shallow, juvenile ego tripping…. Damn, even the Aussies are doing a better job of constructive dialogue than what I’ve seen so far here.. The only comprehensive comment on this thread is still just meaningless waffle that relies utterly on a set of assumptions… The definition of assumption is “the basis for utter fuck ups”.. What’s happened? Did all the smart ones leave while they still could?
Let’s also be quite clear about health. Tax cut after tax cut, always a bribe by National to pander to the wealthy and or the miserable, has left spending on health and a number of other areas rather emaciated. We as a nation spend far less on health per head of population because the money is no longer there.
Sad that Collins, who offered the same unaffordable bribe last time, can’t see that this is the real problem!
