When you aren’t too busy handing over your questions to the National Party, could you ask National to ask Labour to ask you why the hell you aren’t kicking up hell about this decision by the Overseas Investment Office to deny organic farmers and entrepreneurs, Gary and Meg Hirshberg’s, application to purchase land in Ngatimoti, Nelson?

If only the news media had spent as much time focusing on this grotesque political obscenity as they have chasing Clare Curran’s coffee dates.

…Jacinda’s decision not to jump on the bandwagon is starting to look far wiser than pundits had originally mocked.

…big sugar and big oil have had it too good for too long – the time is now to start taxing them!

We should celebrate the steps taken to redeem ourselves with Marriage Equality and we should be glad that a wrong has been righted, but my thoughts today are with all those men who were humiliated and punished and abused for simply being who they were.

This will come to a head as National intend to make the Hobbit Law repeal their main target in turning popular opinion against Labour the way it did the first time around. Watch how quickly Simon Bridges will personally lead the attack against Equity while Matthew Hooton whispers into his ear.

Shame on John Key!

Shame on the NZDF!

Shame on the Fourth Estate!

But most of all, shame on us!

This economic meltdown has been building for a decade, we can’t pretend to not know it was due. Unfortunately the stock market would need have a coffee date with Clare Curran for the NZ media to take any notice.
