How am I being fucken obtuse..? It is an oecd report..released today.. And rnz has carried the x4 fact.. How much more do you need your hand held..? I am 100% right... And your accusations are 100% wrong .. Own it..!
Feel free to withdraw and apologise anytime soon eh...? Seeing as you are 100% wrong...
Are you denying there are 100,000 homeless...? How many do you reckon it is..?
@ m.scott... You seem to be confusing what ardern promised to do.. ..with what she actually did... ..there is a huge gulf between the two... ..and your suggestions that more money wouldn't help .. ..is..to be fair..ludicrous...
Oecd report good enough for ya there..?...incognito.. And our homeless rate four times Australia's widely reported on rnz today... Any other questions ..? Anything else I can clarify for you...? [Seems you’re deliberately obtuse, again :-( Oecd report good...
We have four times the rate of homelessness than there is in Australia... And this after six years of a labour government... W t.f..!...eh .? And labour ain't lost ..eh..? ..have they no fucken shame.. ..over what they have wrought...?
So..just a dribble in the shower of need...eh..?
No...gutless bastards in the thrall of neoliberal incrementalism...all of them true believers in that poxy ideology...
And as for orange sky..good on them... ..but they are only in one part of the four main centres ..+ Hamilton.. Whereas councils all over the land who could reconfigure something they already have...that would be as cheap as chips to do ..they just don't ...
I tried approaching my local community board..and made a half hour presentation to them on just that subject... They seem to agree with me ..and sent the idea thru to Auckland City council .. There was where it died .. A councillor told me that any ideas ...
Wot d o s said...
I agree that currently and in the recent past..labour are slavish adherents to neoliberal incrementalism .. This is what they have to change...for the rest of us to be in any hope of real change to the policies that have got us to where we are now ..
My understanding is that polling has shown a (narrow) majority favour a CGT... So..if argued coherently.. I would also lean towards more less personal taxes .. I don't think most would mind soaking the richest a bit...(Just to bring them in line with those...
There is another aspect to the homeless that should be understood by the rest of NZ .. Namely..that each of those homeless you see sleeping rough..in cars/caravans/w.h.y.... ..they deserve your respect . ..'cos each of those homeless..on paper.. would be ...
I haven't looked into their policies...so I can't answer that for you .. ..but my understanding is that they will be leaning that way.. And this is why Labour's re-evaluation (as promised by hipkins) is so important .. ..and why they have to land much ...
It's called democratic socialism.. Ii doesn't have to mean the death of capitalism.. It is the model used by those countries that don't have wholesale homelessness/poverty .. Where the state has in place strong social/financial support for all citizens... ...
..and this all done in the name of that nasty wrinkle in capitalism.. ..namely neoliberal-incrementalism. ..and nothing will change...until that changes..
@graham... Yeah..nah ..eh .?
@ Adam .. Yep..!..then there's that...
A while back I said I had heard a report that there are 100,000 homeless in NZ . ..this was questioned at the time.. ..but the oecd have just reported that there are indeed 100,000 homeless in NZ .. ..a figure that should make politicians of most stripes ...
I can't see the economic sense in Fonterra returning to just being an exporter of dried milk powder...of putting all of their eggs into that one basket .. But .on the other hand..coming from my stance of opposition to new Zealand being a hotspot of animal ...
Why would you link to such a boring bid of vid..?...brief excerpts from the barr/maher vid...but mainly these three nobody's banging on about what exactly..?
It was in their 'focus on politics' thing...broadcast at 5 pm this evening.. And yes..tear up the neoliberal-incrementalism playbook they have been clinging onto.. And go back to democratic socialism.. And look to those countries where citizens are the ...
W.t.f. has happened to vita-brits..? One of the very few sorta healthy breakfast cereals...and it has vanished from supermarket shelves... And I am a bit of a sugar nazi/ingredient label obsessive..and I hit a new record yesterday... ..in a new world ...
'to know know know him.. ..is (not) to love love love him.. Just to see him go... would make my life worthwhile..'
No different to what is happening here...in real time..
To his credit..rnz reported a speech he gave today where he said labour must be open to new ideas/policies/aproaches...it must listen to different voices..and that labour must go into the next election with policies/plans for change the electorate ...
It deserves a cartoon... With the legend: 'this is what is f**king us' .
I guess Peter's would be the ball-bag.. And Seymour the cock-ring..
With luxon the chief cod-piece...
Just read trotters piece (in sidebar..) It is worth the time/effort...he defines the intellectual deficit in this coalition of ideologues/opportunists..(you know which is which)... Trotter also hearkens back to the last days of Muldoon..and shows how ...
