Brothers and sisters, comrades and free radical thinkers.
As you are all aware by now, The Working Group is New Zealand’s bestest and greatestest Weekly Political Podcast THAT IS NOT FUNDED by NZ on Air.
Despite getting NO MONEY from NZ on Air, our little weekly political podcast keeps hitting number 1!
Now we are moving from the Mediaworks Studio to a specially built bunker podcast studio ADJACENT to Mediaworks Auckland HQ and we are now putting the show out 8.30pm Tuesday nights.
We needed a specially built bunker podcast studio to contain the talent, insight and ego of the greatest political panel in NZ broadcasting history!
Issue 1 – Latest TV3 and Talbot Poll results show a neck and neck election
Issue 2 – Labour Party Conference – screaming success or pitiful echo chamber of failure?
Issue 3 – National Party Tax cuts & Bank profits – how much money do these rich pricks want?
and Issue 4 tonight – Are US midterm elections the death of American Democracy and the foundations for the Orange Fascism of Trump? Short answer – yes.
The podcast broadcasts 8.30pm Tuesdays from our purpose built studio bunker ADJACENT to Mediaworks studios on Facebook, YouTube & The Daily Blog and posted up afterwards on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Rova & YouTube
I ll be there
“Latest TV3… Poll results show a neck and neck election”
Maaaaate… you’re dreamin’
Even if you take the best/worst MoE it’s still 35.6 v 37.6 – 2%, but it could just as easily be 29.2 v 43.8 – 14.6
No way on God’s green earth does that poll say neck & neck
“This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of everything that stands…”
The End, The Doors

The foreign owned banks, namely ANZ, ASB, Westpac and that most vile criminal plaything, The Bank of New Zealand, the loaded gun shouldered by tricky micky fay and dirty dave richwhite have waged war on you lot because you we’re enamoured by the promise of twinkle-sparkle including those big black 4×4’s with plastic bolt on mud flares, angry-eye headlights and sundry other cock extending add-on accessories. Well, you were suckered, suckers, but I can’t say it serves you right because you were literally brainwashed by very clever marketing mechanisms that’d make Professor Stanley Milgram go green with envy.
The real and actual, no bullshit problem here is our politicians. It’s their job to keep us safe, that is why we vote them in then pay them ludicrous amounts of money then pamper them with luxury perks. ‘Perk’ meaning. /pɜːk/ informal. an advantage or something extra, such as money or goods, that you are given because of your job: A company car and a cell phone are some of the perks that come with the job.
Just look at National? Oh my God. What a bus load of lying, lazy, manipulative fuckers. They’re now blaming Orr and Adern and anyone else who has a heart beat. But they were the bastards who laid down the frame work for the shambles our economy’s in. Orr, Adern etc were merely the seagulls who flew in to pick at the carcass of our society, our social systems, our money, our lives and our right and need to live happy, fulfilled lives in security and comfort on our beautiful AO/NZ. It was national who ran us down by using a truck load of cockie money. labour merely turned up later to go through our pockets as we lay there gasping our last.
What almost all of you must come to understand is that we have no politics as such. We have neoliberalism instead. And that ain’t politics. It’s white washed criminal swindle. It’s the back door through which non elected lobbyists slither to enamour our limp, flaccid, pale, greedy slimy fuckers who wear the emperor’s cloths of political intent while we suck it up as we get tripped into what is now unpayable debts to foreign investors because what you have to remember, to say nothing of being aware of, is that the banks have given foreigners leverage over our lives. When you owe money to some cunt, some cunt owns you. Don’t forget that.
The only way out of this terrible mess is to tell the banks, and their army of oily lobbyists, is to fuck off. Nose, to nose it. “Fuck.Off.” Not difficult to remember surely.
There’s a fantastic film titled ‘Acid House’ by Irvine Welsh.
The film dramatises three stories from the book:
The second story is particularly interesting and is a metaphor for us. We Kiwi’s. We AO/NZ’ers.
“A Soft Touch”: Kevin McKidd plays Johnny, a man who is cuckolded by Larry (Garry McCormack), the ruthless upstairs neighbour who steals his electricity and his wife (Michelle Gomez). Filmed on location in Niddrie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Acid_House_(film)
We weakly try to resist the overtures of the terminally greedy and almost unimaginably cruel and we constantly fail at it because we’re constantly betrayed by the people we trust, and pay well, to be loyal.
Farmers. Strike. City people. Strike too. Strike, beside our primary industry farmers until the last bankster’s driven out of OUR AO/NZ.
“The Working Group with Chris Penk, Maria Slade and Damien Grant”
Talk all you like. But it’s action we need.
NB. ‘Groundswell’ and ‘Ag Action’. I personally have absolutely zero, in fact I’d say sub zero trust in them.
Having written the above…

The takeover is happening – as farmers across New Zealand protest government plans to tax them for the gases that farm animals release, are we seeing yet another example of government bankrupting farmers under the guise of saving the planet?
I respect Damien Grant but sometimes I think you take more on board from him than him from you. After all we’re right. And so he’s a nitwit. The rich have crunched us into this corner that can’t be escaped from.
Yes it’s like comedian on tax cuts , “it’s their money”. Well that might me the case but a number of them have made “their money” on the back of lower labour costs, pumped loads of money into property ( where let’s face it they have paid sod all tax) and made housing ludicrously beyond many. I am sure the tax is not killing them.
