New Zealand’s exports of all goods and services to China were worth $16.6 billion for the year ended September 2018.
A year before then this was only $14.0 Billion.
Check that out – in one year of working with Winston Peters, Jacinda Ardern, David Parker and others – New Zealand exports to China have grown by a massive $2.6 Billion.
If this is the intellectual future of the Left, we’ve already lost.
..it feels like SBW is the Flight of the Conchords and NZ Sport media are TVNZ.
How about they stop panicking, start a far better internal communication plan, utilise the personal relationships they already have existing with Winston within the Labour caucus and get some bloody runs on the board.
If we made 7pm a time slot of current affairs, we could get a broad spectrum of that across the channels.
…it could have been written by Cameron Slater.
This entire m.bovis scam truly gives insight into who has political, cultural and economic power in this country. Farmers wanting to escape the taxman by not recording herd numbers when moving cows around the country combined with an MPI who were more concerned with not annoying the Government’s voting base than keeping bio-security secure have exacerbated this problem immensely and all of a sudden we have to bail them out because a couple of farmers appeared on our current affairs shows with tears in their eyes.
It paints a bleak picture of the current NZ media landscape and highlights the real threat that the majority of news media is now in private hands meaning we are ripe for political manipulation and exploitation by those commercial interests that own those media.
Look at the utter bullshit most mainstream media outlets have spread creating the insinuation that National won the election, unless a new Government is prepared to invest in a far more critical media, these rich white wing male broadcasters and the cultural and economic hegemony that they endorse will continue to manipulate the voters of NZ.
All National have announced is 17 new right wing social experiments to try and fix the dysfunction they are exacerbating by using solutions that are the problem!
