Government risks being overwhelmed by race – Thomas Coughlan
Thomas Coughlan is deputy political editor and covers politics from Parliament. He has worked for the Herald since 2021 and has worked in the press gallery since 2018.
Just as the National Conference was about to drown in a white milk vanilla pool of beige mediocrity, Former Prime Minister and honorary western playmate of Xi the Great begged National to dim the burning crosses a tad…
Former National Party leader Sir John Key has called on people to “take the temperature down a wee bit” in the debate around race issues, saying it is an area any government needs to “tread carefully” in.
…you know shit just got real when Uncle Money Bags John Key drops in from Beijing to rein in the cracker redneck settler routine that has taken over the Government.
Because Luxon is the weakest Prime Minister ever in NZ politics, he has no control over NZF and ACT, and none of his skill set as a CEO at a deodorant company, (or the plushy Plane job at a state owned enterprise), gives him the skill set to compete with Seymour and Winston who are master alpha players of the game and who are beating the snot out of him each and every single month!
Christopher Luxon is so weak, he had to sack Melissa Lee to look butch.
This has allowed the extremist agenda of ACT and NZF to dominate policy and tone which is very problematic for John Key and his class of Right Wing Money Bosses.
Key is a ruthless pragmatist who doesn’t give a shit about ideology. He knows that if the peace is kept by providing some crumbs to the underclass then he and his Ring Wing Money Boss class can make money.
Stirring the Left up with such a nakedly anti-Treaty, anti-Māori, anti-Worker, anti-environment, anti-Renter agenda to the point of open hostility is very, very, very bad for business and no one makes money.
He’s begging the Party pulls back because he knows the economic hardship on the way will be acute and enflaming it with such racist bigotry is going to cause enormous damage.
“Māori who refuse to be second class citizens in their own country.” Maori share this country and are as able to a first class citizen as any other race. It is the blind abidance to this an outdated treaty that is the problem for Maori by stopping involvement in a modern, one person one vote,, democratic country.
But if you want a civil war so be it, lets have it out so that future New Zealanders can prosper as one people.
Strategically if civil war broke out and the state lost control, the UN could bring in peacekeepers to maintain law and order.
Australians? Fijians? Americans? Chinese? Wagner troops ex Russia? Indian? French? (pity the French Foreign Legion is tied up in the Ukraine).
When I attended urban warfare training camps it was not your typical Pakeha “red neck” taking part but many “normal” Pakeha, Asian, SE Asians and Indians learning skills they identified as needing in the future. They also had many training camps in rural warfare as well.
A civil war would be on two fronts, Land occupation based restricted to Northland and the East Coast from Whakatane to Hastings. Guerilla based elsewhere. Cant see the South Island being involved in physical confrontation nor the West Coast of the North Island.
See you across the barricades.
“But if you want a civil war so be it, lets have it out so that future New Zealanders can prosper as one people.”
‘Civil war’ and ‘prosper as a people’ in the same sentence. FFS.
The Waitangi Tribunal, Treaty Principals, Right The Wrongs Of The Past, Maori Seats are the reasons why NZ hasn’t had a civil war or indigenous terrorism.
I think it was Labour who experienced backlash as they tried to give more power to Maori through devious methods. Ironically the Maori advanced more under Key as he saw it as important to the country .
Most of the divide comes from the need by National to accommodate 2 other parties to be ablecto rule .MMP was chosen by the voters so that is how we have to operate .Labour were given an unprecedented majority which they squandered and achieved littlevof note
You may be right Trevor.
But why do the Nats not have the nous to say to Seymour and Peters enough is enough, we do not want to go backwards.
The view held by many non Maori is that somehow they are advantaged. This is patently not true in many cases such as health and education or employment.
As a part Maori but white looking I have been fortunate to have not have suffered outright racism. I have however embarrassed a few people by identifying as Maori after they have had a rant.
The most satisfying was on one occasion one of my staff said he would not employ that black bitch even though she was well qualified. His face was a picture to behold.
For some reason he resigned a few weeks later. The black bitch took his job.
Trevor Indeed Labour was devious with its secret te Puapua agenda, but it was John Key who snuck Sharples off to secretly sign up to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People ( UNDRIP) which Clark refused to sign because it poses a direct threat to NZ Sovereignty. Since then I think Labour has ceded this to the unelected cabal of the WHO. They are all as bad as each other, but that
UNDRIP commitment unleashed discontent and division not necessarily pertinent to New Zealand.
te puapua was a national party project started by key
Trevor are you still playing contact sport or did you take a frying pan to the head in that kitchen you work in? What was devious about Labours approach? Did Key have a referendum on his co governance models? No, I think it’s more ZB listeners that made a nonexistent distinction
Wheel, you give ZB listeners too much credit.
Old saying I throw in for some reason –
‘It’s not the cough that carries you off, it’s the coffin they carry you off in!’.
