TDB warned you that this government would implement a blitzkrieg of hard right policy, and so it has come to pass:

  •  Racist attack on local council Māori wards
  • Cancelling Māori Health Authority
  • Manufacturing public health crisis to justify cut backs.
  • Repealing OT legislation forcing interaction with Iwi so they can green lighting a mass new tsunami of uplifts for Social Investment Bog Data investment.
  • Throwing 50 000 beneficiaries off welfare including the disabled and drug addicts.
  • Promising cancer patients 14 new drugs and only funding half of them for twice the price.
  • Cancelling the Ferry’s only to spend more money for less Ferry!
  • Rigging Charter schools
  • Privatisation agenda in social housing
  • Allowing property developers to create urban sprawl ghettos.
  • Giving Chris Bishop, Simeon Brown and Dr Pork Shane Jones the power of Muldoon on meth with the Fast Track Powers!
  • Taking $3billion from climate change funds.
  • Allowing corporate dairy to avoid paying for their pollution.
  • Pushing 17000 kids into poverty to pay for tax cuts we can’t afford.
  • Dumping 3 waters to allow water rates to spike.
  • Military Boot Camps that don’t work.
  • Gutting public transport.
  • Allowing Newshub to fall over so there is less scrutiny of policy.
  • Allowing the donor calls to dictate policy.
  • Bending over backwards for the Tobacco Industry, Mining Industry and Real Estate Pimps
  • Allowing bosses to sack workers and Landlords to kick out renters
  • Getting NZ into Americas latest military adventure in the Red Sea
  • Tough on crime posturing that creates counter productive outcomes
  • Massive cuts to public spending that will become austerity next year.

So can we admit this Government is not ‘moderate’ any longer? We can kill that myth?

The damage this hard right, racist climate denying beneficiary bashing Government has done is intergenerational.

The Prime Minister’s smug certitude when so many Kiwis are doing it hard alongside his inability to keep his Deputy’s inline made National’s Conference a more cynical event than normal.

They played photos of the previous Government to mock Labour as if the only point of a Political Party Conference is juvenile arrogance mixed with a misplaced sense of superiority.

It was white on ideas and whiter still on details.

Luxon complained about math and said he’d do something about math.

Hey kids, what’s 2 tobacco lobbyists minus any ethical morality whatsoever plus this Government equal?

Cough up your answer and show your working.

Somebody from the audience called on corporal punishment to be brought back to deal with Ram Raids and Mark Mitchell made some joke about that and the Party Conference laughed while everyone who had read the Royal Inquiry into State Abuse died a little bit inside.

Meanwhile the planet is melting, cost of living at 5.4% and economy is plunging.

  1. Math does need something doing about it.
    Your country needs fewer people stealing stuff.
    New Zealand needs to start doing some hard yards on climate.
    The health crisis has taken decades, and the combined talents of all political parties. Credit where it’s due.

    Altogether a depressing weekend for democracy

  2. Look at the shit happening in the UK right now .This is the way we are heading right now and next year may well see the same shit here .This racist triad needs to grow up ,step back and look in the mirror and ask is that what we really want NZ to become .
    Too much time on arse kissing USA and slagging China them Maori bashing because they want to distract from Winstons Asian invasion which is now in full swing .A few years from now the people of NZ decent will say how the fuck did that happen .Mean while Luxon will have sold all his houses to Max Key and his brothel mates who will have on sold them to the Modi party members .

  3. We can also admit there are way too many ideological a’holes in this government. Beyond what looks very much like corruption of some, there are some moves which are just totally f’ing stupid and not driven by common sense at all.

  4. I see these pricks are subsidizing the ALI SMELTER to the tune of at least 40 million a year .Maybe they are getting their ALI hats from there as well .No doubt the owners gave them lots of campaign cash .

    • Corporates need welfare, especially corporations that only made $10 billion profits in 2023, down $2 billion from the previous year. They are practically on the bones of their arse. Have some pity, are you completely heartless?

  5. The Coalition Government have and are doing more damage for New Zealanders than Labour couldn’t manage in 6 years, indeed Labour took us forwards.

  6. More meddling by parliamentarians in the school curriculum – Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!
