Radio NZ journalistic standards vs NewsHub
Today our blogs and critical analysis of the Green Party kamikaze attack on NZ First led news headlines, but the way they were used says very different things about the news outlets who used them.

We accept Green voters think they are better than everyone else, but to just rule out working with anyone to change the Government shows their precious values up for what they actually are, selfishness wrapped in middle class snobbery.
I didn’t think I could loath these smug evil pricks any more than I could, but this comment reminds me how much I truly detest these rich arseholes.
With Labour, 70% of New Zealand families will be better off than with the package National announced in their election year Budget.
HOW SERIOUSLY should New Zealanders take the words of Green MP Barry Coates? In a recent post to The Daily Blog he said: “The memorandum of understanding with Labour is the foundation for building the next government. However, if we were not part of the coalition, we would not accept a Labour-New Zealand First government and certainly not a National-New Zealand First government. Neither will be acceptable to the Greens.”
National’s tax cuts do nothing to address the failing mental health service, nothing to address the failing public health system, nothing to address the housing crisis or address the chronic underfunding in education; Labour’s Families Package on the other hand provides some real solutions and answers to the major issues in our communities
Thinking more about the Greens new strategy of declaring war on NZ First, and it seems more and more like a terrible strategic blunder.
The interesting point is that NZ First and Greens are now on par with each other but the most fascinating insight from the poll is how huge the undecideds are – 19% – that’s almost 1 in 5 NZers who have no idea who they are going to vote for and that means the whole election is teetering on winning over those who are still waiting to make a call.
So based on next to no information whatsoever, MBIE have decided that there is no issue with China dumping cheap and dangerously substandard steel on the NZ market which means we won’t anger China who have their hand around our throat economically because they take mountains of of our milk powder.
I’ve taken awhile off commenting on a .. certain area of New Zealand Politics for personal reasons; but looking at my newsfeed for the past 24 hours, it’s pretty clear a number of things need to be said about the Green Party’s recent comments on New Zealand First.
