…a 1000 homes a year for a decade? How the hell does that actually deal with the 41 000 homeless people we currently have? It’ll take at least half a century for the Greens to house the homeless under this policy, as long as no one else becomes homeless in the next 40 years that is.
And while we are talking about bloody Auckland Transport – how appalling is their vandalism of K Rd?
Sure, Hillary Clinton was a neoliberal war hawk whose platform wouldn’t do anything for the white working poor, but she was no fascist.
The new mass surveillance state using Government Agency big data was first aimed at the gangs, then beneficiaries and now the Government is swivelling its Eye of Mordor upon the children of the poor…
The irony of the ‘If-you-have-nothing-to-hide-you-have-nothing-to-fear’ Brigade is that if it was Helen Clark who was ramming mass surveillance spying powers through under urgency and giving the SIS extra powers after helping collude with them to stop John Key getting elected, they would make Trump supporters look moderate.
Long live the Queen!
The funding freeze on Radio NZ because the National Government hate them for asking hard questions is looking more and more dangerous with every passing natural disaster.
No one exploits a disaster quite like John Key. The Government’s economic policy seems to be to wait for a natural disaster to occur and then cut some crony capitalism deal for a rebuild that keeps the GDP as falsely inflated as the property market does.
Seeing as most of our Civil Defence systems seem to be a confused mess of volunteers trying to do the best they can, perhaps we should be seriously considering moving the Capital away from Wellington before we have to?
The new format will be a mix of the Tonight show with the Daily Show – which is going to be an incredible challenge because our standard for political satire is bloody 7 Days. Fart and dick jokes aren’t going to make this show work. The Project in Australia is pretty sophisticated and bloody smart, unfortunately we have a pretty shallow pool to work with in NZ.
