Corporate Farmers, Property Speculators, Billionaire Class and Feral Antivaxx Climate Deniers – the 4 new Horsemen of the NZ Political Apocalypse
As we are all astounded by the petty pissing competition being waged by the most awkward threesome in NZ Political history, the interests that catapulted this hate wish of a Government into existence are champing at the bit to be unleashed as economic conditions get grimmer and grimmer.
The Corporate Farmers are already demanding total subservience to our Chinese Economic Overlords at the same time Gerry Brownlee magically sees no danger from China.
The Property Speculators desperately need international demand to drive prices up and the Billionaire Class ensured Wealth Tax was politically crippled while lining up for crony capitalism to entrench their existing market privilege and dominance.
On the culture war front, the conspiracy theorists will fawn over Winston’s Royal Inquiry into Antivax grievance and the climate deniers will blunt any meaningful adaptation strategies.
The worst interests with the most at stake are all congealing around National, ACT and NZ First
This will be a Buffet of Dead Rats Government bonded only in punishing beneficiaries, prisoners, workers, renters and gangs.
Old Zealand über alles.
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 this pandemic and 2020 election – please donate here.

The Billionaire Class class drives climate change, look at the big money, aka the Rockefellers, behind the IPCC for starters. In fact, the billionaire class drives everything including the ability to manipulate us into believing that those speaking out against their actions are raving nutters. They are shrewd, I will admit that.
You missed out pissed of kiwis that are fed up being told they are politically second class citizens in their own country
They are the people that won the last election and have a mandate .
Let’s go!
Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Good start!
Good start!
I think that there are parallels between our neoliberalism today with the mostly conservative ‘Continuous Ministry’ of the 1870s and 1880s in which elections mattered always returned a more or less conservative administration and its final term, the penny-pinching ‘Scarecrow Ministry’ of 1888-1891 which galvanised the New Zealand public to vote in the Liberal Party of Ballance, Seddon, Ward and Mackenzie. A continuity possible because New Zealand was “still more or less of an oligarchy,” as William Pember Reeves put it in 1924, the democratic masses not yet organised to put the oligarchy, which in those days was dominated by sheep farmers and the like to the neglect of the towns and cities, out of political business (these days, it’s the lobbyists who are the equivalent of the sheep farmers). One of the consolations of historical philosophy is that, despite all growth and change, some patterns do tend to rhyme and repeat and this may be one of them.
“So are they all, all honourable men.”
The Plague Doctors, now fearless in the face of the people’s interests.
They have all their puppets in line ready to do their bidding.
And a pox on anyone who just wants to live decently in a fair society.
We don’t stand a chance.
Needed the opportunity s party to be part of this threesome or Lizz Gunn’s Loyal party.
I’m not sure which will be more entertaining – watching this odd throuple negotiate a 3way – or watching them trying to perform it.
Reminds me of the old joke “ lucky, lucky Chrees, he’s in the middle again!”
The most gruesome ménage à trois ever.
It will still be a better combination than the suggestion Labour Greens and TPM link arms with NZF. We are losing too many good people as it is and the rest would go if this lot combined
Oh Trevor are you one of those that would go. How sad.
I will stay and enjoy the next 3 years of good governance and a return to prosperity for all that want to work .
Seeking greener pastures is nothing new Trevor. We steal skills from smaller less developed countries and bigger countries steal them from us – it’s the law of the jungle. John Key promised equal pay with Australia to stop it – didn’t happen in his 9 years.
Given Nationals history and low wage economy there is no incentive to stay and work in N.Z. Trevor knows this as a former business owner, so of course Trevor prospers whilst employees suffer.
Yeah, but Winston would make a great PM, with charisma, humour, and statesman-bearing plus he’s not a neo-liberal.
Disenfranchised Kiwis won the last election and gave the coalition a mandate for radical change
Bring it on
One of the rights biggest donors Winton Land …listed coy’s shares on the rise.Resource consent a…done deal I imagine.
That was first-class work.
