With the resignation of Grainne Moss from Oranga Tamariki, Kelvin Davis has lost a second political victory to the Māori Party in less than a month.
As the planet is plunged into the economic whiplash of the growing global pandemic, the dance between Māori and Pakeha politics in 2021 will become far more aggressive in tempo and demands.
Please mock us.
An example from social media of the total power the Ministry of Social Development has over the lives of beneficiaries emerged last week and reminded everyone of the punitive welfare culture we still have in NZ.
After the lack of leadership displayed during the Waikeria Prison Riot, Minister Davis must be urgently reviewing the current state of the NZ prison muster.
And the Purge has begun.
The vile ocean of ignorant rage they have nurtured has finally turned on them, and it’s wonderful to watch.
If you had as many unhinged white males with guns as ACT does, you would probably want to set boundaries as well.
2021 has barely begun and NZ Politics is already reeling on a multitude of fronts which will continue to shape what is already looking like a year that may manage to eclipse the trauma of 2020.
It’s Summer and TDB will be posting throughout with a holiday crew and we should all be back on board by February.
Currently working on some projects so we can get a TDB show on Freeview so we can take our arguments to a larger platform and serve the Freeview audience in a way that many of the mainstream channels don’t.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice going into the 2020 election, and are in a position to contribute – please do so here.
If you can’t contribute but want to help, please always feel free to share our blogs on social media.
