Critical analysis breaking down New Zealand news coverage, media framing, and political narratives behind the headlines.
The good news in all of this is that Labour-NZ First and the Greens are close enough to forming a Government to make this election a fight worth fighting.
Your lives matter and the cruelty you are all forced to live under by WINZ is a horror that those same smug vicious male arsehole rich prick broadcasters will never understand.
Stealing out of need is different from stealing out of greed. I won’t ever damn a mother or father for doing that. That’s an indictment on the system, not on Metiria or the tens of thousands forced to do the same.
Metiria admitting she was forced to break the law to feed her child doesn’t make her a hate figure, it makes her a leader who has experienced the cruelty of spiteful social policy firsthand.
The real madness, there wouldn’t be any synthetic cannabis issues if we legalised actual cannabis.
The truth is that while it’s poor brown people dying from synthetic cannabis sweet bugger all will be done. The second white middle class kids start dying, watch how quickly society will move.
I just don’t think this story below is getting enough attention and I hope the release of the new documentary by Annie Goldson reignites public attention…
Kiwi’s don’t want the jobs, because as Helen Kelly pointed out, they are awful hideous jobs which are paid a pittance. Complaining as the farming industry does about NZers not wanting to be serfs in a rural feudal state doesn’t justify importing desperate and impoverished workers from other countries.
Taxing tourists who visit the country to help build that infrastructure is a no brainer right? We are a premium tourism destination and a simple one off tax would generate hundreds of millions.
So why is National so against it?
The grim truth about National’s latest lie on housing is just how utterly hollow the plan really is.
These 7 deaths in one month from synthetic cannabis is a failure of social policy. We either decide to have an adult discussion about drugs or we continue with the bullshit denial that is killing and maiming so many.
Wake up NZ.
