No self-respecting country sells its passports to rich people who don’t even live there, which is why it was so bad to grant NZ citizenship to the American multi-billionaire Peter Thiel.
What this situation shows most clearly is the complete lack of public service ethos in these individuals. It is a lack of ethical behaviour which now pervades the senior levels of our public services across the country – both in government and local body organisations.
Now our anti-intellectual messiah has gone, are New Zealanders really that bewilderingly dense to allow Trump to have this level of power over our economic, cultural and political sovereignty?
English kept trumpeting reduced welfare stats as if that was a great thing when we know that all these agencies have done is find reasons to disqualify beneficiaries from welfare, they have no idea where these people have gone, all they’ve done is successfully deny a benefit. That’s not a solution, that’s a recipe for disaster, but it was perhaps English’s solution that was most concerning, half a billion dollars to the bloody Police!
This is your chance to let the rest of New Zealand know as they enter the voting booths in 2017, that the punitive, spiteful and damaging social welfare policies of WINZ, Housing NZ, Corrections, Parole, Mental health, Ministry of Social Development and CYFs are crucifying the poorest and most vulnerable amongst us.
These are remarkable feats for a mainstream media who were enslaved and in the thrall of John Key, but with his leaving they have the ‘courage’ to finally start questioning the pantomime of policy promises that is the National Party.
The ever brilliant Marama Davidson has launched The Green Party policy on teaching te reo Maori in schools…
The only chance the Maori Party have now is to solidify their arrangement with MANA or else they will be finished as a movement. Winston is set to whip up provincial NZ with his next bottom line for Government which will be that the Maori Party can’t be part of any Government he creates.
Thief bought his residency, that much is clear, but the real reason is because his private spying corporation helps process mass surveillance for the 5 Eyes.
That Bill English bashed a person who should never have been arrested in the first place, and was arrested because of gross incompetence by the security officials is terrible enough, calling him a leftover from a middle eastern terrorist region is just ugly bigotry.
