Critical analysis breaking down New Zealand news coverage, media framing, and political narratives behind the headlines.
The ever brilliant Dita DeBoni highlights the way the Key Government has gone to smear and attack anyone who dares t0 challenge the ludicrous assertions he and his Government has made to sell the TPPA…
There’s something sadly inevitable about Labour self-sabotaging on issues of genuine and serious national importance.
The decision to oppose the TPPA is a power play by Little, those who have decided to oppose that are about to find out you don’t cross Andrew Little lightly.
Oh the irony, NZ cops trained by Americans to quell protests in NZ against American corporations selling us out.
We will not allow ourselves to be intimidated by cop thugs.
Rather than playing into the right narrative of Labour being split, we should celebrate Little’s strength and allow these two old war horses the dignity to strut around the paddock for a last hurrah while Labour realign.
Armed cops walking NZ streets?
You simply can’t abuse political power in the manner Key has and not expect us to tumble in global perceptions of corruption.
Labour may have been late to the fight, but they are here. Little will rob Key of any symbolism in a Parliamentary vote, this is Key’s turd sandwich and Labour don’t want a bite of it.
Usual dross served up with a thin promise of trains. Few media will even notice Key wants to expand more surveillance powers and headlines will focus on the window dressing.
