…so what does our Government have to say about the largest totalitarian regime on the planet who has Orwellian mass surveillance, who butcher dissidents for body organ trade and who is currently enslaving one million Uighur Muslims? What do we say about China’s latest attempt to turn someone else into the next Tibet?
If your contribution to the breath taking abuse of child uplifts by Oranga Tamariki is “But it’s not racist” – perhaps you should sit this one out. Maori have been complaining about losing their children to the State since the 1940s – this damaging child theft policy isn’t new.
…I don’t care about scabs. If you refuse to join the union but then benefit from the better conditions they negotiate, you are a scab. Union members should be rewarded for a better negotiated deal, these scabs are just lucky they will also benefit from the better pay and conditions. Screw them and their whining, the audacity of these scabs!
Seymour’s simplistic neoliberal solutions to free speech should be rightfully mocked, but the blind anger and depltforming wokeness brigade will attempt to interpret Seymour as a Nazi and drown him in all the bile vegans can manage to retch up.
This is a blight and a stain on us as a people and listening to mostly white people hold up the bodies of dead children to justify a brutal neoliberal agency who are cost cutting and pretending they are protecting children makes me vomit.
We all accept that there will be some parents who are a danger to their children, but they are the exception, not the rule, and the incredibly low thresholds being used to seize children is just unacceptable. We know these children have more risk of being abused in State care, we know these children taken into state care tend to turn up in our prisons, we know that we are not supporting vulnerable parents to help them be the best parents they can be.
Labour need to dump KiwiBuild, using free market solutions to fix a problem created by the free market is like bailing water into a sinking ship.
…this case has been an abomination of legal process, jurisdiction and injustice. You might not like Kim Dotcom, but the manner in which his rights have been breached and 70 odd armed paramilitary cops broke into his home and terrorised him and his family is as unacceptable as the abuses of power used in court against him.
I’m guessing that the vast amount of Crusader fans and Rugby Management had no idea whatsoever the historic symbolism of the actual crusaders.
I don’t think these Poll results are an anomaly, the different methodologies reflect the growing tribalism and disconnection of modern democracy.
