Our mainstream corporate media refuse to remind you of the possible billions in damages the Kim Dotcom case has opened us up to, they refuse to acknowledge the role of Corporate Hollywood in the extradition case against Kim Dotcom and they refuse to touch the real reason why Peter Thiel was granted residency in NZ.
Cameron Slater used to do this shit, he took cash from right wing industry to attack and denigrate health officials who demanded change, The Spinoff just makes that process look more palatable because it’s framed as a ‘debate’ with Julie Anne Genter.
…Folks, I appreciate that it’s difficult to admit that you’ve been duped, but you have been. National have zero, let me say that again, ZERO, interest in fixing the Housing Crisis.
From Labour’s perspective, the Māori Party’s desire to sit at the table with National means they are a threat and it’s a tactical position that has seen the Māori Party being accused by many Māori for being sell outs, but this election could end up creating a very different kind of Government.
And the madness that is this Kafkaesque case against Kim Dotcom continues, this time the Court rules that the Police had no cause to have arrested Kim on the charges of Copyright infringement, but have given our legal sovereignty over to the United States by instead finding trumped up fraud charges as the excuse to trigger extradition.
This is why it sickens me when the National Party promise tax cuts to the already rich and wealthy property speculating middle classes. We have a 30% jump in suicide attempts on top of the horrific levels of suicide and what is the Government promising to do?
Christ almighty we are becoming a terribly mean country.
Someone at the Salvation Army needs to be Court-martialled for this. It is petty beyond belief and beneath the good works they do.
The 41 000 homeless, the 220 000 kids in poverty, those who can’t get a job, those locked out of home ownership, the working poor, beneficiaries, the vulnerable and the abused found no champion in the Fourth Estate here. The Project won’t hold anyone to account in an election year for them.
The perfect outcome for the Left and Progressive movements would be Labour+Green+MANA/MP = 51%. That outcome would see a Labour/Green minority Government with supply and confidence from NZ First and MANA/MP. It would allow Andrew Little to Govern from the centre left with real emphasis on the Left.
