What have we done?
I really had rather hoped that I wouldn’t be writing this so soon after the General Election, but here we are.

John Key got his 3rd term, Peter Whittall is a free man and men in suits are still lying to people in tears.
Read More →My brain hurts
This election year has been a really long nine months. The lies, the headlines, the spin, the policy, the chat, I am literally overloaded with information.
Read More →The difference between Cunliffe & Key in the debate
It was with much interest that I watched the leaders debate on Thursday night. I watched with an open mind, always happy to have my opinion changed. Maybe John Key is all the wonderful things that many say about him, had I been missing something?
Read More →Key’s arrogance as a leader
There is a lot that could be said about John Key at the moment but one thing that really irritates me about him is his complete lack of remorse or regret for the lies he’s told or the things he gets wrong. He’s never sorry. It makes him something other than human if he never makes a mistake. And I know he’s made them.

Being working poor is about being stuck, it’s about doing everything you can and are told you should and you still aren’t getting ahead financially.
Read More →The National Party are lying to us when it comes to their facts
The National Party are lying to us when it comes to their facts, figures and statistics. There are certain lines that each of the members has at one stage or another repeated. For example low unemployment, budget surplus, low crime rate, booming economy, like little repetitive catchphrases put out there to fool us.

I feel sick when I think of the mess that my kids will have to sort out and clean up, as they grow up and grow old.

This week saw the release of the Glenn Report, a report on child abuse and domestic violence in New Zealand. It makes for pretty depressing reading. Also this week we see another senseless murder of one of our children, an 8 month old killed and a man charged with his murder, It’s heart breaking to me. We have the 5th highest rate of child abuse in the OECD.

I can’t help thinking that the system is flawed. I wish I didn’t and then I could just blindly comply and get on with it.
Read More →The Prime Minister is the number one Minister in this country
It would seem that once again this week that John Key has displayed his characteristic “brain fades” otherwise known as lies. His claims around his relationship and subsequent hiring of his old school friend Ian Fletcher to the head of the GCSB role were quiteblatantly untrue.

National has had 6 long years in power. That is plenty of time to make our country great, for us to be the envy of other countries, for our clean green innovative country to be a world leader in getting it right. So Mr. Key, just what have you done for NZ in that time?
Read More →My vote is up for grabs
My vote in this year’s election, is up for grab’s. I am so far undecided which party to give it to. It is there for the taking if someone wants to have it.
Read More →Moral Compass
Some days I find myself dismayed at the state of our country. I look around and I hear and read things and find myself at a loss as to what has happened here. Sympathy, empathy and understanding seem to be slipping away before our very eyes.
Read More →Modern political apathy difficult to fight
I believe our Government and many others around the world to be dumbing down much of its population, having us too busy, tired and stressed to stop and think. Many of us are quite simply worn out and worn down. So much of our time and thoughts are given to managing our lives, that we literally have very little brain space left to think about much else.
Read More →It’s someone’s fault
I want to know what happened to accountability with our Government and it’s departments. If I do something wrong or make a mistake and I damage or break something whether I meant to do it or not, then I am accountable, I am responsible, I did it, did I not? We as a […]
