They'll never bite that hand even though its just slapped them in the face hard. Now they get to raise rates for something they lobbied hard for and explain to ratepayers why. Luddites.
This is an ideological CoC full of neoliberal acolytes driven by the dollar. A well funded one with backers expecting to be rewarded.
Culture wars were part of their strategy to regain power. Id like to see the opposition go hard here and suggest that they will pass laws allowing former ministers to face the consequences of their actions.
Rural ratepayers get shafted with increasing costs for services they'll never get. Can't even let my dog into the local Harbour due to the effluent.....a situation they've shoulder shrugged for years whilst taking the dosh for alot of new connections in ...
Sounds great but likely to be in the 'gone by lunchtime' bucket with the CoC looking to leverage the environment for profit with ministerial interventions if required.
IMO we are seeing what happens when bullying anti social behavior goes unchecked and gets oxygen from the MSM.
Already have with their removal of the legislative changes parker had going through to collect data for a fairer taxation system. The reasoning ...its more red tape/reduce beauracracy.
+100. experience and credibility needed to restore some confidence and inspire.
What little honeymoon the COC had is over as the sheeple wake up to being shafted so the already well off can do even better. Luxon cant sell the snake oil like the last bloke did. Good to see some in the media going in hard .....doing their jobs finally ...
Yes and winnie plays his part with his calculated comments. Tamaki keeps getting oxygen for his anti diversity law breaking behaviour .....dressed in his own gang insigna. Willis positioning with hand wringing so private equity can continue the march key/...
ACT wants to run the government like a company and jones wants to bond future governments to compensate businesses for policy changes. Meanwhile luxons looking weaker by the day, dodging questions and having no portfolios and he didnt start out from a ...
That applies to all media not under a public model. Look across the ditch where kerry stokes has created another outlet for 'economically conservative' views online in WA. It would appear his TV outlet isn't doing enough to further his interests.
Its objectivism, a randian philosophy. Self interest, laissez-faire capitalism i.e. unregulated, market rules, everyone out for themselves. The less government involvement the better for the randian acolytes. Gives capital a free reign.
Landlords and capital over fair pay, public transport, school lunches, collecting tax data, infrastructure (ferries) etc etc. Key and english did similar but kept it under the radar with spin and good old dirty politics when a distraction was required. ...
Our very own rendition of the republican party with Jones quite comfy with what he's doing here.
It became a warners brothers business eventually after mark Weldon did a merchant bankers CEO stint and trashed it. Look it's just a coincidence it's the hobbit law folk again move along sheeple.
All part of the right wing play book. Manufacturing consent with phoney culture wars and spin that there's a crises they had nothing to do and only they can solve it. Show's how owned the media is as we all saw this coming, imagine proper journalism and ...
A race they look to be enjoying which I find quite depressing.
Labour will be whatever chippie turns it into which IMO is already the problem. Captain centrist sitting in the middle with his crew of compliant mp's. I expect very little and so far it's delivered that and will continue to do so under chippie.
Good points BG. Chippie is the solution if its a beltway focused party of centrists you're after.
Massage to Wayne there. Pull your head in or she gets the nod next mayoral race buddy.
Yes a post and a tui billboard.
True colours from rimmer and the deputy big tobacco grifter there mickey. Yes they need a counter narrative so maybe that's on next year's agenda as it's 5 months from the GE and mostly crickets is all I hear from them. All the best grant we were lucky to ...
Trotters a useful tool that's why he's there selling the coc's lines. Chris is a well behaved media poodle thus the granny slots to spread his musings.
Yes it was a poor performance as he allowed the opposition rhetoric to go unchallenged, made poor judgement calls on a wealth tax and hardly defended what policies he left having torched many others. It looked weak and that got played on to predictable ...
Puppet rather than muppet as this is just another role where he works to direction, has the rhetoric provided and gets rewarded based on his ability to get the 'job' done. That 'job' as we're starting to see is an ideologically driven destruction. Haters ...
Everyone has a price and bills to pay. Edwards, Pagani etc The regular granny soapbox is there for a reason. Another useful tool.
Well as mickey suggests Jordy probably takes top spot with tobacco, transport and mining the likely other 3. Time to pay the piper for the coalition, out of taxpayers funds of course.
I'm sure Bryce will be all over it mickey probably with some linguistic contortions as to why this is a good idea. He's another useful tool.
Totally. The actions contradict the rhetoric but will they pester Luxon beyond the talking points. Many pissed off EV owning Nat voters I'd be thinking also never saw that coming.
Haters and wreckers. They're just getting started.
