  1. Those stupid Groin swell protesters. The whole country now has to subsidise their pollution, but somehow they are not the socialists. Free loaders.

  2. English is a small man, mentally and physically, IMO, and as such may welcome anyone who makes him feel big. The whole Nat ethos at this time appeared very venal and self-centred.

  3. Yup again fucking ridiculous that this can be allowed to happen and time for the Nats to realise there should be limits to trying court the Chinese vote and funding.
    Looking forward to ‘Shanghai Mark’ wading in with his comments.

  4. Most of the Natzos are committed to local and international capital and finance capital. Tobacco, oil, industrial farming, booze and banking. A few lean more to SMEs and local capital–but nonetheless they are anti working class, particularly organised labour. Their record speaks for itself from Massey’s Cossacks, the ’51 Waterfront lockout, the 1991 Employment Contracts Act and Mother of all budgets, through to this latest Govt.s version of the neo lib war on the poor.

    One Chinese MP is hardly the end of the world. In fact China is part of the rising “South”–non geographical grouping that is growing including BRICS. The “North” comprising US Imperialism, Euros, and Japan are the main issue with 5 Eyes etc.

  5. NZers as a nation have had farmers at their throat in a choke hold for decades. It’s completely outrageous and fuckin dumb that this sunset industry can get away with the pollution, hold enormous debt the banks are willing to lend them and treat animals like machines. China will eventually fuck us over and then that’ll be the end of it. Too bad it has to be that way for innovative change to come.

    1. The way I look at it is we have too choices .The Aukus fuckers will say you have to join up and fund us or we will bomb the shit out of you .The Chinese will say we will help fund your roads and new water needs and repairs to the national grid .We will also give a good price on solar and wind generation as we are now really good at those things and lead the world in renewable power .You chose

  6. “…I think it’s easier to ask ‘hands up who isn’t a Chinese Spy inside the National Party”

    Followed by a show of hands who isn’t an embedded US stooge?

  7. “sunset industry” really? Everyone is going to voluntarily eat insect patties and facon! Surely, only if they are forced to by green diktat or povertynomics. Even if that became the case would low carbon footprint sheep and beef grown on the lush green hills of Aotearoa be traded like French Champagne compared to $6 Sparkling Wine.

    1. “There is no such thing as bad soldiers, only bad generals” Napoleon

      To paraphrase Napoleon, ‘There is no such thing as bad voters, only bad politicians’

      Rather than cursing the voters and wishing a pox on the majority, you might consider the Labour leader that guaranteed National’s victory with his “bonfire” of progressive policies, and Chris Hipkin’s captain’s call on a wealth tax, which would have done so much to rescue our failing health system and schools.
      Hey, if National lite policies are so good, why not vote for the real thing, right?

      1. Typical. A bitter sectarian Labour Party hack uses a crude and offensive profanity exposing his contempt for the people.

        Maybe he thinks, in the immortal words of Bertolt Brecht, we need to elect a new people.

        “Some party hack decreed that the people
        had lost the government’s confidence
        and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
        If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,
        If the government simply dissolved the people
        And elected another?”
        ― Bertolt Brecht

  8. Political parties are easy to join, It would be of greater concern if Chinese spies were uncovered inside our security services and armed forces. On that score the Yanks have beaten them to it. The Chinese are late comers to influence peddling where it counts.
    It is common knowledge and accepted that the New Zealand defence forces and security services a stocked chock full of US arse lickers
