Deconstructing Headlines

Not being on The AM Show is the second best thing he’s done this week and it’s only Wednesday!

The entire policy was hysteria promoted by the National Government when they needed a distraction from privatising state housing, whipped up by a media dependent on property speculation for revenue.

Currently 60% of those released reoffend within 2 years. That is an abysmal failure, the time to move away from this punitive experiment is now.

Just pause and consider the level of state sanctioned cruelty you are seeing here. Beneficiaries who borrow money had that money counted as ‘income’ so MSD could then claim the beneficiary had committed fraud and then started charging them with penalties and interest.

…it is difficult to know who is the worst public department, what with the Housing NZ meth hysteria, the cruelty of MSD and the counter-productive horror of our prison industry, but it is safe to say that MPIs spinelessness towards primary industries must surely be the most cowardly.

We might have an unmarried Mum with a stay at home Dad First Family, but NZ has not and is not progressing positively.

Here are 8 things NZ should do right now:

We want more film to be filmed here and we want our arts industry to thrive but not at the cost of another propaganda victory for National.

You want to eliminate the synthetic cannabis industry? Legalise the actual cannabis industry!

…climate change is here, it is now, we have run out of time. We need to be focused on becoming an adaptation culture and economy, proclaiming carbon neutral by 2050 is meaningless sophistry. It will be far too fucking late by 2050.
