GUEST BLOG: Hone Harawira – People might die in Waikato Hospital but racism is alive and well
I am bloody disgusted to hear that a Māori woman, a whanau member who is an integral part of the health and wellbeing of a patient at Waikato Hospital had been treated so badly. Every person who is in deep pain and suffering has the right to have somebody at their side in the hours leading up to critical surgery. And every Māori has a right under the Treaty of Waitangi, and the policies of the Ministry of Health to provide care for their whanau, particularly in times of stress.

Alleged NZ War Criminal cover up artist resigns and NZ media STILL obsessed by Clare Curran’s coffee dates – peak denial reached
This is insanity. Our fourth estate have completely failed us. The only way this war crime gets covered now is if it appears on Married At First Sight and admits cheating while going on a coffee date with Clare Curran.

Unions are walking into National’s trap
This will come to a head as National intend to make the Hobbit Law repeal their main target in turning popular opinion against Labour the way it did the first time around. Watch how quickly Simon Bridges will personally lead the attack against Equity while Matthew Hooton whispers into his ear.

MUST READ: Yes it could happen here. Facebook, Cambridge Analytica & the poisoning of electoral democracy
Under MMP our small voting public effectively constitutes a single manipulable seat. The psychographic dispositions of swing voters could be identified , targeted and manipulated without difficulty. Certain offshore and resident billionaires could easily meet campaign research expenses and hide their contributions behind blind trusts. In place of Cambridge Analytica would be another similar organisation with a friendlier sounding name. Election campaigns centred around the issues of tax, national sovereignty and/or oil, gas and coal exploration would certainly draw the attention of the one-percenters .

Is the orgy of capitalism about to end?
This economic meltdown has been building for a decade, we can’t pretend to not know it was due. Unfortunately the stock market would need have a coffee date with Clare Curran for the NZ media to take any notice.
