Why are property owners afforded a far broader definition of what is proportionate when policing something as trivial as a car parking space than an individual fighting to save themselves from violence?
Last week I received this message from a former employee at Housing New Zealand Corporation.
Nothing sums up the new Government’s possum in the headlights lack of strategy quite as much as the final decision to build a 500 bed prison at Waikeria.
You can’t ‘take the politics’ out of climate change – it’s no longer a scientific question as to whether or not it’s happening, inaction is now a political problem and seeing as your party has the largest number of climate deniers in NZ, that makes it YOUR problem!
Audrey Young today interviews Key about being PM & he has odiously offered Winston advice!
Better off people can simply save less in other funds if they are forced to contribute more, while the poor just get poorer. On retirement, low income workers may get little advantage from their forced saving as they will need a top-up to get just to the level of NZ Super.
Jacinda has left the building and the Nats are in attack mode trying to destabilise the Government under Winston’s term as caretaker.
The attacks though are just such disingenuous bullshit, look at the utter crap being served up this week by Jami-Lee Ross, Mark Mitchell and David Bennett, it’s incredibly difficult to work out who is the biggest pile of political garbage.
STUPIDITY ON STILTS. How else should the decision-making on Waikeria Prison be characterised. From practically every perspective, the Labour-led government’s determination not to proceed with the construction of a new 3,000-bed “mega-prison” was flawed. Most particularly (and most worryingly) it demonstrated the Cabinet’s inability to think politically. When your business is politics-at-the-highest-level, that’s a very serious flaw indeed.
This decision to allow China to take more of our water on a planet that is rapidly warming is cowardice as well as treasonous.
The media will go into meltdown that Labour are trying to pass law that will kill off the LOTR TV series being filmed here, Matthew Hooton will go onto TV to breathlessly tell every political panel show that Labour just can’t help but suck up to their union mates while the rest of the country suffers. Mike Hosking will say it’s proof the Unions have run amok. Kate Hawkesby will ask why does the Left hate NZ made creativity. Barry Soper will ask why the Left hates Peter Jackson so much and Heather Du Plesses-Allan will predict the end of the new Government and the resurrection of John Key.
