   haha brilliant, shouldnt that be 6% unemployment? If it was 6% employment we may be in the midst of revolutionary times or a really really good universal basic income is in place.

   dumbed down edjumication
   flags and sports distractions
   attacks on reporters

     You’re a genius – or is it just too easy? Either way, thanks for the lulz 🙂

       all too easy I’m afraid,

       and that’s just the stuff we *know* about

     Thanks for the warning, it was a warning, right, not a threat? But don’t worry that little pointy head of yours, confused. I have a graveyard humour borne from watching the on-line behaviour of somnambulant New Zealanders who insist on rallying against not only their own but also their children’s best interest.

       You’re a crack up.

       What you believe isn’t necessarily what everyone else believes, which is one of the reasons Labour is in the mess it’s in. So keep pushing that barrow.

       [lprent: Perhaps you’d like to provide some evidence that BLip has even supported or voted for Labour (I can’t remember him having a good word for them myself)? Or apologize profusely and retract. Or just accept the 6 month ban I just gave you for deliberately lying without substantiation about an author on their own post.

       I’m getting rather tired of commenters having a go at the newer authors without any justification for their smears. I’d prefer to lose a commenter who wants to do that rather than lose an author who can write their own very clear opinions.

       You can have a go at their opinions and their ideas. But if you want to have a go at them especially in their post, then I want to have a piece of you. Try laughing at that – dickhead. ]

         Doesn’t look to me like infused said BLiP voted or supports Labour, merely that the type of thinking BLiP has is not the same type of thinking that others in the community have. And that that same type of thinking is emblematic of Labour’s “current mess”.

           Well maybe he should have articulated it as such, or asked you nicely to do it for him 😉

         Thankfully not everyone “believes” what you claim they believe, in fact kiwis prefer Labour’s policies, but regrettably most people vote on PR and personality in front of a camera, thereby perpetuating the cycle of cluelessness. Not a bandwagon to be proud of, confused

   Annette and Carmel can’t count. The $11m apartment should appear at four. $4m net after the old apartment was sold (and on which a tidy profit was made). But why let the facts get in the way of a good story, eh?

   Welcome onto The Standard Carmel Sepuloni: looking forward to hearing more from you.

     She’s not on The Standard. I ripped off the song from Annette King’s speech which was based on something Carmel wrote. The source is linked if you’d bothered to check it out.
