David Seymour kicks off first day of Treaty bill submissions
Political Science Professor Bronwyn Hayward said she was opposed to the bill in its entirety.
In particular, she was concerned about the framing of the debate, Hayward said.
The bill had let a “small and extreme libertarian view within a party set policy direction that’s now well outside of the position of median NZ voters”.
In an amazing day of blistering critiques against this race baiting political stunt, one of the most important insights was made by Political Science Professor Bronwyn Hayward.
She noted the point that when academics were reviewing if there was any danger to Democracy in our MMP system, it was noted that the only real threat to NZ Democracy was a scenario where a Minority Party with no wide spread support tricked or forced a larger party to adopt radical policy as part of a Government negotiation process which is exactly what Chris Luxon did!
Let’s remember, this racist jamboree is all on Luxon!
You were tricked into believing Luxon wq s the great deal maker, yet he allowed this 6 month hate tour by getting played by Seymour.
The quick yellow fox jumped all over the lazy blue log.
Luxon is still telling everyone that this is all fine because he will vote the legislation down at first reading but that’s a meaningless defence because he’s allowing such a divisive debate despite claiming it won’t happen!
He allowed this to happen because he was desperate to become PM, he wasn’t the great negotiator he claimed and this is all on him and National!
This racist hatred inspired and promoted by the Right most be condemned, not celebrated.
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.
Clusterfucksons capitulated to the far-right and cemented himself as our first skinhead PM
And now…to add to this trainwreck …are both Luxon’s and Seymour’s announcements that they will persue a large sell off of New Zealand’s state assets… bought and paid for by many generations of Kiwi taxpayers.
This is unconchable traitorous behaviour and they are about to get a thumping!
“NZ Democracy at its most dangerous phase with Treaty Principles Referendum thanks to Luxon”
AO/NZ’s democracy was de established with the rise of the stunted fascist roger douglas back in 1984-ish.
Because of rogers treachery we’ve had no democracy for 40 years now and largely thanks to his bestie jimbo The Bulge who beguiled the thinkless into believing that mmp would provide clarity and choice when in fact mmp further removed us from any choice at all from under a cloud of misinformation and down right lies.
Take a look around? What do you see? Hardship and suffering on a gorgeous, rich and productive land larger in area than the UK? Have you ever asked ” What the fuck is going on? ”
Our politic is entirely and 100% National. Let that sink in. Chloe Swarbrick is bogged down under The Green Party’s pathetic and disingenuous whimpering’s. She’s the only person in parliament I’d place my trust in and how often have we heard from her over the last year?
We’re being set up. We’re being groomed to give our AO/NZ away. luxon, peters and hideous little seymour are traitors and liars and don’t you worry, I’d call then that to their flaccid little faces and so should you and you.
All good Kiwis must support @ Maori. If we lose The Treaty and if we lose The Crown, we’re all fucked and if you don’t agree, you’re not paying attention.
Yes Luxon is as thick and lazy as 2 short planks and the voters who voted for him and his cohorts should be ashamed because they were more interested in greed than need. The chickens are all coming home to roost with this cluster f**k of a government. Willis is supposed to be minister of finance but she obviously forgot the economy stupid hence she’s going to try and fix what she’s been breaking all year.
I am not sure you can call Luxon Lazy.
I am no fan but he is more a `work-a-holic’ who does a lot but achieves very little.
A variation to the Ardern `talk-a-lot’ but achieve even less.
Luxon doesn’t read….tgat is why he is never across the detail at press conferences….
Ardern did a lot of reading…hence her success managing Covid and overseeing a recovering economy post Covid …
…Unlike Luxon who didn’t do any homework, ignored all
economist’s advice and thus
managed to tank the economy
in just 12 months.
Luxon may or may not get up early but so what…it’s what he does with that time…he’s either dumb, lazy, or, a slow learner…
Some people are unteachable…hubris and/ or a lack of intelligence in certain areas gets in the way…
Glad he didn’t try and become a
pilot.
He does next to nought.
Getting up at 4.30 and bathing in asp’s milk while scanning NewstalkZB with a lazy eye waiting for a word of praise is not what any of us call work.
I voted for National as did many others because they saw the mess Labour was getting us into with no plan to stop the inflation that was destroying businesses and people. Those suffering the most was the poor who Labour was supposed to protect. After 6 years they had little to brag about that they had achieved and GST off fruit and veg was their best offer..
Bollocks Trevor. There was a plan, and just like National they would not have been able to claim success for reducing imported inflation, which of course idiots like Willis and Luxon have. As for government spending there was also reduction built in for Labour which Willis has acknowledged when it suits her. Why don’t you actually read Trevor
Trevor is like our PM selective when it suits
And yet the country is now struggling for teachers and health care workers because National have driven them overseas and those living in poverty and on the benefit have increased because of National’s unemployment policies. After 2 years the best offer from National was to cripple the country.
Luxon will pay for enabling this. The Right in National will sneer at him for having no backbone and failing to support Seymour. The centrists in National will sneer at him for having no backbone and allowing the charade. All the weeping and gnashing of teeth for a vanity project costing millions. It’s the flag all over again. Luxon has a few soft skills but is no politician.
Nmg that’s silly and not true you have “ been played.”
While the US and China battle over AI, Bob has quietly mastered LoI.
You have been played by Luxon and now Trump, Bob the challenged.
Lets go back to the ‘economy’ for a moment. Please, who’s earning our money by growing, or manufacturing if you prefer then exporting essential foods, wool, and fruits, vegetables, nuts, honey and jams. So much of it that it’s reported that those mysterious beings plying their witchcraft can feed forty million people. Please. I’m begging you guys. Who is it, that does that? Is it The Warehouse? Is it Foodstuffs and Woolworths? Is it Mitre 10 mega? Who is it? And what do they do? Begins with an ‘F’.
There’s only 50 thousand of them and their broader identification begins with the letter ‘F’ Followed by an ‘a’ then there’s an ‘r’ then an ‘m’ and oh look! An ‘E’, another ‘r’ and an ‘S’ to finish with a nice collective noun.
Good farmers, intelligent, well educated farmers get zero positive attention from The Daily Blog. It’s only when those few farmers, special ones, I’ll grant you that, follow the natzo’s around like lost lambs chasing the quad bike begging for approval. Those same farmers play up to the narrative peddled by their abusers because their abusers are so well used to, and desperately need to have farmers keep doing that which they do for less than the nothing they’re now getting.
Farmers? You and Maori with the support of a Chloe Swarbrick led Green Party would FUCK luxon and his dirty few scumbags and not in that nice way. I met a lovely fellow outside a cafe in Lyttelton recently. Or rather my gorgeous Beardie met his handsome Beardie and it was instant love. He sat down with myself and my dog and we had a great time. My dog was in heat so a beady eye was kept while we discussed the ins and outs of a liars feast. We got around to the Green Party and I told him about my meeting Chloe Swarbrick and said a few words in high praise of her. He laughed and said ” Ha! You wouldn’t say that to too many farmers out my way! ” I said ” I know what you mean. But I’d still say it. Besides, can you tell me what it is about Chloe Swarbrick and the Green Party that’s so hated by many farmers? ” He couldn’t. And he didn’t. He gave me the impression that he was ambivalent about the Green Party but certainly didn’t give me the impression of mindless hate.
He just didn’t actually know why farmers love the filthy natzo’s and hated the green party.
Our primary agrarian exporting industry is deliberately hobbled by literal traitors within politics, the mercantile firms, banks and the legal systems to make sure that the truth never gets out. And seymour’s job is to make sure that never happens. seymour’s job is to destroy our family farming infrastructure then hand that over to Big Ag for no other reason than to hide our politicians past crimes. Look it up.
The truth is this abysmal excuse for a govt fronted by the weakest and most ill prepared PM in NZ history and comprised of a mixture of totally incompetent players and a few obvious bad actors are rapidly taking the country down the gurgler. The finance minister is a complete but sad joke and although has a qualification in English literature has huge problems doing basic sums. Willis should stick to family night movie outings with debates on what ice-cream flavour to buy. Seymour is the bad actor glove puppet who cannot hide behind the smarmy grin that tries to disguise the hand that moves his lips. Winston is the only one with any credentials left worth listening too, but he better have a cunning plan to sort this CoC out otherwise he goes down in history as just another could have been.
Very well observed and articulated…
Spot on Neil, the righties hate the truth.
Nmg your comments are silly.
The Prime Minister is an above average person as are his supporters.
The challenged people in society vote Labour.
btf your comments are silly.
The Prime Minister is an below average person as are his supporters.
The challenged people and intellectually impaired in society vote National.
Willis , Luxon, Seymour, Peter’s….none of them will be fixing anything…
They are breaking records though…
They’ve fucked the economy and race relations for the next 10 – 15
years…all in the space of one year…
Credit where credit is due!
I’m all for the treaty principal bill, I don’t think it will get a fair hearing. No more of a fair hearing than the campers at Motutere bay Taupo. Council decision. run by un elected maori for maori. The most undemocratic decision and unfair. maori seam to think they are the only ones in NZ the have a culture, Have a history, have a story to tell. even if is fictitious
