So let’s be absolutely clear – this Labour led coalition has no intention whatsoever of doing anything significant to reduce the gap between the haves and the have nots in our country which begs the question..
This was short sighted and desperate, it wasn’t an MMP checkmate by wily old Winston, wily old Winston could barely keep his eyes open, this was a poorly thought out knee-jerk that was kicked repeatedly into touch with no plan beyond kicking it into touch.
The denial of climate change and the quack science used to peddle it must be eradicated with the same zealotry we amputate cancer. Our politicians are too frightened of the corporate vested interests that profit from pollution so those politicians need replacing.
In my view, we tread a perilous path when we permit these matters to be effectively, swept under the carpet, because the revelations might be, too injurious to the public.
Jacinda symbolises a modern progressive democracy, her being pregnant and a mother while in power added with her compassionate rhetoric and incredible emotional intelligence that guided a nation through an atrocity are too precious to throw away but she must take on the free market establishment if her symbolism is to mean anything.
No wonder Winston Peters objected to the Coalition Government being called Labour-led. Because, on matters of most importance, it’s led by New Zealand First. And even though Fortune Magazine this week said Jacinda Ardern was the second most powerful leader in the world, that would make Winston the first.
…more and more people of conscience are willing to be arrested to force the climate change debate. If every person genuinely concerned about climate change joined Extinction Rebellion protests every weekend and shut down roads and clogged the judicial process with thousands of arrests, the Government would be forced out of their bullshit Carbon Neutral by 2050 complacency.
As news from social media gets regularly denigrated with the same derision as smoking in cars with babies, the large broadcasters are starting to steer back towards journalism rather than light weight pap.
38 years ago this year a young NZ anarchist punk blew himself up outside the new Police computer building fearing that the big brother state was looming.
The explosion of rage at Labour’s betrayal can’t go anywhere because who else would they vote for? If a Party with the right leader could step up there might be a contest of ideas in 2020.
