The spitefulness of Auckland Transport towards Mike Lee
Not inviting Mike Lee to speak, the man who fought to get this piece of our history saved, is a disgraceful and spiteful move by Auckland Transport.

In light of the scope, scale and sheer audacity of corruption inside Auckland Transport that Matt Nippert has exposed, it’s time Phil Goff fronted on this issue and explained to us all why he removed our oversight on Auckland Transport and what the hell he intends to replace it with so that Auckland Transport are accountable to us.
TDB pointed out this would happen on Monday and we explained the internal tensions that were building for it to happen…
National need huge migration numbers to prop up the property bubble and require tens of thousands of exploitable migrant workers to keep labour costs down. Blaming mass immigration and cheap labour exploitation on Kiwis smoking weed is like downgrading your water quality and renaming it ‘swimmable’.
So after building the Prison Empire that we now suffer under, ACT have decided the skyrocketing prison population is a damaging social cancer and are suggesting if Prisoners learn reading or writing the will get an early release.
Lovely to see ACT come out of the dark ages.
Right now we have Breakfast TVNZ, The AM Show, The Project and Seven Sharp all of which manage to make us less compassionate, more ignorant and a lot dumber.
Unfortunately a stupid electorate is exactly what many Politicians want.
As for his claim that we need to import all this cheap and exploitable migrant labour because NZ stoners keep failing their drug tests, let’s remember that in 2015, 8000 beneficiaries were sent for drug testable jobs, and how many fails were there?
22 fails.
Out of 8000 drug testable jobs.
The French have a saying: plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose – the more things change, the more they stay the same. To discover just how much things have stayed the same, try reading this short post – the bones of which I originally put together almost exactly ten years ago.
Throwing beneficiaries off welfare but not knowing where they are going, downgrading water quality and redefining it as ‘swimmable’ and now using beneficiaries in motels in the tourism stats?
The Left must do more than not offend people if they want to be the Government. They have to offer hope and vision, and while affordable housing, education/health and some tough on crime rhetoric is all fine and dandy, it does nothing to inspire those living with the grim realities of debt and everyday life.
