Wait? WHAT! Why are we paying quarter of a million sweetheart deals for corrupt Fast Track projects?

What the Christ is this new madness???

Public Works Act changes:’It will definitely make it a lot faster’

Infrastructure New Zealand is welcoming the government’s land acquisition incentive payments and a faster process for objections – but Labour says it wants to see more detail.

The changes to the Public Works Act, announced on Sunday, would see owners paid a bonus 5 percent of the land’s value – up to $92,000 – for acquisitions.

Those who chose to sell before a Notice of Intention would also get an extra 15 percent – up to $150,000 – on top of that, for a total of up to $242,000.

On the other hand, those who object – at least, for Roads of National Significance, or projects listed in Schedule 2 of the Fast-Track Approvals Act – will go to the Minister for Land Information or local authority rather than the Environment Court.

 

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Let me see if I can get this completely fucking straight.

The Government concoct a Fast Track list using a corrupted process that sees their Donors interests gain deregulation with little environmental oversight AND ON TOP OF THAT they will pay any effected landowners a sweetheart $242 000 sweetener to the deal ON TOP OF THE MINISTERS THEMSELVES being the ones who will ultimately decide if their seizing your land via a corrupted process is unfair???

Remember, we don’t have the money to not feed our children burnt plastic, but we do have millions for the Government’s pet donor projects?

What the fuck is it with the National Party always bribing you to do what they want?

Remember when Key sold 49% of the Hydro Power Stations and had to add sweeteners to the share sell off to make people buy them?

Key announces three-pronged sweetener for “Mums and Dads” in asset sales

July 22, 2012 (BusinessDesk) – Small-scale retail investors are being enticed three ways to participate in the government’s planned sale of minority stakes in four state-owned energy companies. Prime Minister John Key used his governing National Party’s annual conference in Auckland to announce a low $1,000 minimum holding threshold, a “no scaling back” provision for anyone investing $2,000 and a yet-to-be-determined loyalty bonus for hanging onto the shares for at least three years or so. 

…when it’s hungry children, health, public services, they can all go fuck themselves, when it’s sweet heart deals for things their donors want however, there ain’t enough money in the world that National aren’t prepared to use to drown the problem.

You can’t all be this easily manipulated by this hard right Government?

Of course we want investment and infrastructure, but this is a facade being used to drive their donor mates interests NOT the common good!

They are willing to blow huge amounts of our money to get their mates interests sorted.

They know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

The poll results are telling us how deeply unpopular this culture war aggro has become because Kiwis in their hearts aren’t aggressive mean spirited arseholes the way ACT, NZF and National are behaving. We are a very laid back people and the needless cruelty alongside the energy to commit that needless cruelty is seen as trying too hard to be pricks.

National pouring millions to bribe their land seizures from a corrupted fast track process is something most Kiwis won’t see the fine print of, but they know try hard bullying when they see it.

Once you are seen as a try hard in NZ subculture, you are dead.
