The last 9 years of growth has been a lie and a sham. A cheap pump and dump strategy from a money trader with all the morality of a feeding shark. Our Rock Star Economy has been held together by speculative greed, hope and snot. What business are realising is that the falseness of that empty model will give them nothing under a new government who are focused on affordable housing, lower immigration and reinvestment in schools, hospitals and public services.

We are a juvenile culture with all the maturity of a can of day old coke where Heroes renovate property to flip for speculative capital gains and Success is the name of a cross-fit Instagram influencer you follow.

Now at this stage of the blog, you’ll give me the benefit of the doubt and charitably agree that some might concede Brash’s words were harsh and bordering on a kind of bigotry, but then quickly assert that doesn’t mean Brash shouldn’t have the right to express those opinions and nor do those opinions even closely amount to Brash being evil and will challenge me that my use of such a word is hyperbole on my behalf and that by throwing around a word like that so needlessly, I am in fact being as counter productive as the woke protestors who rushed his stage and doesn’t this just all make me a hypocrite?

No. I don’t need nor require your benefit of the doubt.

No. It doesn’t mean he has a ‘right’ to those opinions.

Yes. The word evil is entirely appropriate.

No. The Woke Left be cray cray and I’m not cray cray.

Don. Brash.Is.Evil.

As a Green voter, I feel like a Blues fan.

I’m so depressed I’m making Rugby analogies.

There is a fascinating dynamic we are staring to see with increasingly militant members of Unions wanting far more than their Unions are able to negotiate.

Please Allah, drain all the electric bikes of their battery power and food poison the tofu so the Woke Left are too ill or without transport to arrive and make this worse. 

We all know Jacinda is busy juggling motherhood and the country, but the poor are being failed. 

Look, I’m sure this type of feminist reclaiming of empowerment (#empowerment #girlpower) goes down well like a bag of strap-ons at an anti-heteronormative patriarchy coven kink munch meeting, but sweet Christ, you can’t seriously be considering reclaiming the word ‘cunt’ as a party political position can you?   

The bosses will attempt to claim a living wage and slightly better Union protection for workers is what has spooked them, but that’s bullshit, the real reasons for a downturn in confidence however are worth looking at.
