Deconstructing Headlines

…who the Christ goes out of their way to remove peoples rights to sue the State for discrimination, especially when those people are carers for family members who have serious illness or disability?

Reading Farrar is like going to the dentist, no one wants to go and while you know it will hurt it’s sometimes necessary and his expose on what really happened at Massey means the Vice Chancellor must be forced to resign.

I persoanlly have always found it fascinating that the whispering campaign against Clarke Gayford exploded in terms of amplification right after Jacinda ruled out all State agencies using Thompson & Clark.

How interesting. 

So much for the  media beat up regarding Government about to implode because Winston and Jacinda hadn’t agreed on a a lift in refugee numbers!

…someone is getting rich, and it ain’t the poor hard working farmer.

Without being able to answer that very simple question, without explaining to the taxpayers who are funding this madness, we are participating in state violence without end and when we consider the obscene cost of this fiasco at $63million just for two years in Iraq, (total costs now exceed $100million), it is unacceptable in the extreme to justify blowing over $100million on this prolonged war crime when 45 000 New Zealanders are homeless and hundreds of thousands of our own children live in poverty.

The failure of neoliberalism has been looming for sometime, but the questions we should be asking as the global economy continues to dance spastically on the lip of the volcano is what does this mean politically for New Zealand and what should the new Government look to do as a response.

In all the noise over the current fiasco, people have forgotten that what Labour are proposing is so mild as to be laughable. The only people who can seriously claim this will hurt business pay their staff a pittance and probably shouldn’t be in business.

Well that was pretty meaningless with a hint of crisis management wasn’t it?
