Coercion to achieve ‘equity’ has failed.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…it’s a duck, or in Labour’s case, it’s a separatist agenda.
I reference Labour’s two-tiered system of governance based on race. It is something the country at large was never going to accept no matter how cleverly they tried to conceal it, or how our former snake oil saleswoman Ardern might have dressed it up as ‘a sophisticated version of democracy’. (Or how incompetently Willie Jackson stammered and stuttered his way through implausible explanations, completely unquestioned by the legacy media).
Having detonated the racial division bomb Ardern checked out the back door to spread her message of free speech doom to an increasingly disinterested world; sent on her way with a damehood for her destruction and division of our nation. She even had support from John Key who no doubt thinks, like Nicola Willis, that woke Adrian Orr, who played a huge part in destroying our economy whilst obsessed with all things Maori, should keep his job.
More reward for corruption and failure on an industrial scale. Let’s hope David Seymour finds a way to win that argument. He has my full support to make it a bottom line to sack Adrian Orr or make things really difficult for him so he is forced to leave. I want justice!
And while we are on that subject, Mallard should be recalled. The decision would be hugely popular as no one can stand him. The left recall everyone every time they win. Conservatives are kinder, like Trump who left the Democrat Ukraine ambassador in the job. She testified against him during the fake Mueller inquiry. Like all good Democrats she (and others) lied; it failed. What a huge waste of US$40m. But I digress.
Having a majority with the legacy media, academia and public servants completely on board made it easy for the government to implement policy coercively, ignoring due process to ram unpopular legislation through, in particular 10 Waters and the RMA.
What happened to bringing the people with them? This is where they failed massively.
Seymour and Peters have annoyingly kept talking about the Treaty and opposing co-governance which drives the media mad as their view is ‘the Word’ and everything else is ‘racist rhetoric’.
Christopher Luxon who insists on keeping on message and avoiding answering their emotive silly questions will probably have the effect of sending Lloyd Burr for intensive counselling or begging for his overseas posting back by the end of the campaign period.
Luxon needs to borrow a few ideas from Winston’s play book like, when asked if he has talked to a candidate retorts, “if I had I wouldn’t tell you.” Pure gold. Or my favourite from Tama Potaka, “You are entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts.” That is very relevant right now.
Evidence of a spine is emerging in National’s MPs.
Sticking her head above the pulpit on The Nation our next education minister, Erica Stanford, was on fire debating with Jan Tinetti calling out her dodgy education stats and record, leaving Rebecca Wright red-faced and gasping.
Our future police minister Mark Mitchell’s opinion would not be denied and he informed Simon Shepherd: “I’m not falling into your ridiculous trap. This is what you do, you’re being the mouthpiece for Labour at the moment…The public don’t buy it.”
Journalist Jodi Ihaka on The Panel confirmed Mitchell’s stance that the country feels less safe and welcomed his appearance in Thames, where her family lives, after the gang incident, noting words to the effect that his calm demeanour helped reassure the community. There was no sign of Ginny Anderson.
In Newshub’s coverage of the panel’s comments online, Ihaka’s positive commentary on Mitchell was omitted proving Mitchell’s “mouthpiece for labour” line and my ‘sanitised news’ belief about the legacy media.
With the election close discussion has ramped up on the contentious issues which are being dissected in all their gory details. ‘Dangerous’ opinions are being expressed. With blind ideology, there is no room for free speech. Just ask Jacinda. Words are weapons of war!
Back in the real world blind acceptance of separatist policy is no longer tolerated. People want to discuss things without being called racist. That is very difficult for our media, who have been told what is the truth and like little robots adhered to the government directive in return for funding. A highly corrupt system, only practised in totalitarian regimes, which hopefully New Zealand will never see again.
An example was a Taxpayer Union debate when Damien Grant demanded Simon Wilson, the Oracle, reveal if Jordan Williams was racist for having different views on the subject from himself. A long-awaited, ‘no’ was barely discernible in a pub where you could have heard a pin drop. And panellist Fran O’Sullivan expressed dismay about the bigotry abounding in NZ media where different opinions on contentious issues are emotively shut down. You go, girl!
So now in a desperate last-ditch attempt to distract us from his Government’s dismal record, Chippie’s strategy in the Newshub debate was to play the race card. Using a misleading and emotive quote from an NZ First candidate taken out of context, about “cutting out the cancer of co-governance”. He planted the fear of a National and Act Government with NZ First involved.
The media have been poring over this quote, including Jack Tame during his recent train wreck interview with Winston Peters where at times he lost control and Peters took over!
But they swept under the carpet Labour’s gross wastage of billions of dollars, itemised by a private citizen and gone viral. Where was Tame’s forensic scrutiny and questioning of this corruption?
I agree with Chris Luxon, for Hipkins desperate times call for desperate measures.
The media warned us Hipkins would have more to say on this and he didn’t disappoint, announcing there has never been a more racist or misogynistic election. Bless! We can trust him to keep the conversation going on a subject the government has been very coy about until now and who created the division in the first place.
Or is this latest strategy Hipkins’s idea of the consultation that Ardern promised but didn’t deliver? Spreading fear and insulting everyone with a different view from himself?
Attack is the best means of defence (one often used by the left to accuse others of what they are guilty of) But it will not work in this instance. They are showing their true colours.
Thanks to their radical, unpopular social justice legislation, Labour’s chickens have finally come home to roost and will be a major catalyst in their election defeat.
