A visiter to NZ told me over the weekend that the two things NZ were known for internationally, our passion to do right by our Indigenous people and our reputation for Independence on the global stage.
He found it odd that NZ had elected a Government that was so intent on denigrating our Treaty reputation and desecrating our Independent Foreign Policy with such little debate.
I said to him, ‘Welcome to NuZilind. We are fixated on cow udders, sport and selling each other houses to get rich. Refusing to acknowledge the worst angels of our nature are now in power and burning values we never appreciated is what we do now’.
This Government is denigrating our Treaty, desecrating our Independent Foreign Policy and mutilating our Global standing – and they’re just getting started!
The looming privatisation agenda currently being drafted by the Rights corporate lobbyists will see mass deregulation of industry donors and ramming through legislation that will allow International Mining, Big Oil and Trans Nationals more access to our resources without the usual checks and balances…
Govt to free up foreign investment in ‘sensitive’ NZ land and assets
Ministerial scrutiny of whether overseas investments are in New Zealand’s national interest is to be significantly reduced in a move critics say risks eroding sovereignty but supporters believe will enrich New Zealand.
National and Act’s coalition agreement says the Government will amend the Overseas Investment Act 2005 to restrict ministerial decision-making to national security concerns only and make these decisions “much more timely”.
The act requires overseas investors to obtain consent from the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) before acquiring interests in significant business assets, sensitive land or fishing quota.
…this new hard right racist climate denying Government have already managed to suck us into the vortex of a mother American war while jetting off to Australia to privately seek Military Industrial Complex influence into our politics.
This new Government is selling NZ off faster than we can notice.

Fixated on sports, is a good thing. Important for fighting the obiesty epidemic and peeps mental health.
So we become a full-time vassal of the US foreign policy, which causes China to play hard ball on our exports to them. With farm land prices plummeting from the resulting economic difficulties, US Corporates and rich individuals buy up our land and resources at bargain prices. Any ability to stop the sales will have been dropped, or in the case of Maori, suppressed. Am I seeing a pattern here?
Yep spot on.
Yep, the current regime is entirely owned- at best- by paper ‘New Zealanders’ like the young-blood-enthusiast Peter Thiel.
If Labour were actually left-wing, they could have gained a lot of popularity by preventing this. Naturally, they didn’t.
Until both sides listen to each others concerns objectively, there is not going to be any progress in relationship. The silent majority are watching, and the ones living in the echo chamber think they speak for the majority. No peace will hold till both sides meet in the middle. There are no winners and losers as both are long gone. The past cannot be fixed, we are here on earth at most 100 years, nothing comes with you in death. Live in peace with each other, accept the other – as the other is just your brother from another mother.
