The new Government still haven’t managed to get control over the levers of power and it leaves the question open, is the new Government running this country or are right wing Wellington bureaucrats still running NZ?
New Zealander’s are confusingly saying that they want to smoke cannabis, use it for medicine, but don’t want a regulated market that stops organised crime from dominating the industry and removes all the actual taxation revenue from Government coffers.
When someone hands out leaflets which say “Allah is a gay god” and “Allah is transgender” then this is not an issue of free speech. This is part of a calculated campaign to incite religious hatred.
Ole Bomber who runs this site lost his toys the other day over Kate Hawkesby’s discourse of contempt around prisoners. Or, as he so poetically put it, the “boorish bruise of the very barbarism they (people like her) claim to recoil from”.
Matthew Hooton (19th July, NZ Herald) trots out the tired old John Key scarecrow of ‘Communism by stealth’ to debunk Working for Families (WFF). Hooton even wants to blame WFF for the nurses’ strike and low productivity.
