Since 2021, the 1%, the Billionaire Class and the Mega rich have poured $12million in donations into ACT and National.
Rich people don’t donate that kind of money for your or my welfare Comrades!
An orgy of Crony Capitalism and privatisation is about to hit us…
…the rich, wealthy from a rigged capitalism they benefit from, are buying this election and you are being manipulated by culture wars into ignoring the class war in front of your eyes!
Dr Bryce Edwards is devastating in his critique of the money powering Right wing politics…
Scrutiny of political donations is always important, of course, regardless of who’s in government. But given the sheer quantum of the donations that are currently going to National, extra vigilance about the influence of this big money is required. Potential conflicts of interest need to be identified and highlighted in order to avoid some of these large donations resulting in private gains for the already-wealthy.
…this on top of the policies that will allow Landlords more rights to terminate a tenancy at will alongside the possible removal of foreign buyers bans amounts to a class war that is eclipsed by the Culture war nonsense!
There is a class war happening but culture war issues like Toxic Trans debates, garden variety bigotry and anti-mandate revenge fantasies are hiding it.
Kiwis are so easily manipulated, the wealthy are tricking them into voting National/ACT because of ‘co-governance’.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Co-governance is just one of many reasons. But I recall pre 2017, Labour were outraged and were going to clear up the murkiness of donations and declarations especially around conflicts of interest…until it suited them and Michael Wood et al and then they did nothing. They are all out to manipulate us, the Greens especially just for other reasons.
It’s labour’s maorification of NZ that’s driving us to NACT.
Really? So when people are surveyed and they say it’s cost of living you say it’s not. That’s the laughable thing. People think NACT will reduce the cost of living? In reality we are already on the other side of the CPI increases. No doubt they will claim that’s there doing some how. In reality things will still be f’ing expensive, it’s just the rate of increase that’s slowing
Not that simple, Brom. It’s a few other things, like the erosion of democracy, ceding sovereignty to the UNO and its ilk, attacks on freedom of speech, bastardisation of education, unhealthy health service, dearth of places to call home, most or all of which Labour and the Nats are equally guilty of fumbling, and the Greens too lost in space to be concerned about.
Perfect summary!
“Not that simple”? I see…. BTW, I am seriously impressed by your example of oversimplification, generalisation, and blame shifting…. You’re the perfect tory…
Stefan. No, more a comment on the collective stupidity of New Zealanders which has enabled a divided crumbling society to creep up on us hitherto fairly unnoticed.
You can’t stand seeing someone else being unlifting to the point you’re willing to vote for a party that will make everyone worse off including you lmao
Oh. Give it a rest!
It’s not ‘co-governance’, it’s co-governance.
It’s co government.
NZ’s wealthy are worried over the long-term prognosis of New Zealand. On the current trajectory we will become a second world banana republic with similar economic and social conditions on par with countries in South America.
The sheeple have little, if any understanding of how bad the country is trending until it hits them on a hospital visit, a random act of violence or their children’s academic ability.
So who was in government when the uneducated youth committing crimes now were growing up? The entertainment industry (TV, Games, Phones, etc.) is probably more to blame for the lack of academic ability in young people & it is the 10% who control most of that.
Nine years of neglect is a defunct argument after 6 years of destruction
My last visit to Starship was no different than it was a number of years back. Clearly it’s easy to generalise. That said we obviously have long term issues from years of underfunding and planning just like every other f’ing amenity or type of infrastructure.
There’s “sheepie” like you Frank that imply our problems are all domestic and it’s all shits and giggles in places like Australia yet their interest rates are going up, defaults are up, and cost of living is increasing. They have shortages too but they can pay more because oh that’s right they tax people and have CGT etc. Who would have thought.
lol – the wealthy are going to get the same wake up call as everybody else. The fossil fueled energy boom is over. it’s steady state from here – if we’re lucky. ostentatious behaviour and hoarding will be a thing of the past or the perview of warlords. NZ should tool up and be prepared to use them.
12 million, my God there’s commitment for ya (sarcasm)
I find the leftist blocks capitulation, funding and mainstreaming of woke identity politics just as disturbing as the rights bribery and shitfuckery to ACT and National.
Yes Frank the tank, the trends are all bad, in so many key areas. That’s why we would rather put trust in cronyism, even if it means some of the cronies get very rich.
The housing market is cooked. It’s a non-issue as it won’t change.
Only a hopeful fool would base their vote on housing policy.
Let’s face it with every election with these parties it’s always
“ these aren’t the droids you’re looking for……he can go about his business….move along”
Nash, Ardern, Labour, Gun Control NZ & Martyn have forced me to vote for ACT. Time to reap your rewards.
