I’m not joking, NZ mainstream media accuse Jacinda of witchcraft
Will she get blamed for curdled milk and crop failure as well?

Jacinda has pulled off one of the greatest political come backs in NZ history. To think that she has turned the Labour Party around and won the 2017 election in the space of 10 weeks is an achievement like none other in NZ politics and her leadership, courage and tenacity bear all the hall marks of a truly great Prime Minister. With Winston in full war mode against neoliberalism next to her and the very smart James Shaw on the other side, this is a Government who have every chance of producing an incredible 3 years.
The Labour-NZ First-Green Government was a dream, an illusion with no fixed reality 10 weeks ago, yet here we are after MMP with a mandate for change and a functioning Parliamentary majority. This is indeed a time for us to rejoice and feel empowered by our democracy. But after we have celebrated, let’s remember those who could not endure National’s 9 years in office or who were crushed into apathy by their brutal policy decisions.
Actually governing with a global financial collapse imminent, environmental apocalypse caused by climate change and corporate vested interests challenged, the Labour-NZ First-Green Government is going to have to fight every day to maintain their momentum.
In the end it was what Labour could do to change the neoliberal economic settings that won Winston over.
I think this can be easily resolved by sending Duncan Garner a dictionary.
When our gutless and spineless Politicians pathetically open their mouths on medicinal cannabis they give us weasel words about change and nod their cowardly heads at our collective outrage. They attempt to tell us that Police don’t target individual users and that only organised crime gets a focus, yet here we have medicinal networks getting attacked.
The Pakeha woman crosses the pathway of the two young Muslim women as she is walking towards one of those little green trundler trolly’s that you pull along behind you and then suddenly the Pakeha woman does something that makes me stop dead in my tracks and has my mouth just drop open in total shock.
Helen Clark has always said she wasn’t aware of this, but that’s a lie. As the head of the SIS and GCSB, of course she was informed of such a delicate operation. Rather than challenge the bullshit case that it was, Clark allowed it to happen.
