Ironically, Te Pāti Māori is now practising the old tactic of divide and conquer on themselves. Managing the ‘uppity natives’ by splitting them apart? They are doing it to their own ranks.
We must stop tolerating incorrect, fabricated, extreme climate modelling scenarios to construct doom-laden predictions that allow MPs and government lackeys to scare the public. All of which is employed to justify outlandish and unnecessary government spending.
Maybe second generation citizenship is worthwhile – but for everybody.
We have one politician going overseas to meet with leaders of other countries to drum up business and cement long lasting international relationships, while we have another not thinking of trade or productivity, but rather which ‘rich pricks’ his party can fleece next.
What is the purpose of a tax like Labour’s CGT if the declared purpose for it is a non-starter? The answer has to be that Labour has other much more sinister intentions.
Forget the courts or party meetings: sort it out on crate day at a South Auckland pub. Beers flowing, fists optional and maybe they’ll hash out who’s the biggest rangatira over a few dozen.
While Te Pāti Māori vilifies ‘colonialism’, they benefit from every one of its structures.
The rules that protect our environment belong to every New Zealander and they must be enforced equally, irrespective of the offender’s standing. New Zealanders are watching.
The status quo is unsustainable. Councils have to decide what’s genuinely for the public good – and what’s just self-interest wrapped in bureaucracy.
“Why can’t you just answer the question; you see this is why you get yourself reputationally in so much trouble…Would you have sacked him, yes or no?”
We all need to grow the hell up and stop demanding someone does something. It’s the measles – big yawn.
This saga exposes the dirty underbelly of party politics, where loyalty goes out the window when it suits the top brass. Keep watching: the real fireworks are just starting.
