The guardian line summed it up for me being she took the dog whistle and swapped it for a loudhailer.
Chippy missed many opportunities during the campaign to negate the spin with facts so don't hold your breath on that one. It mattered then whereas now who cares what he thinks and even if he did get all 'see I told you so' the media would ignore him as ...
Revisit that comment in a year. IMO they're all cut from the same cloth and the gloves haven't come off here yet. Once they do I reckon it'll make Keys tenure look benevolent by comparison.
There's at least 3 more years of scripted slogans unless he gets rolled by his more ambitious colleagues. He's a tad loose off the cuff with comments like bottom feeders so he'll likely stick to the safety rails a script offers.
Across the ditch ANZ CEO Shayne Shayne Elliott says the Australian dream of home ownership “has become the preserve of the rich" in The Australian. Here ANZ just increased profit by 10% with an incoming govt that has policies that will make home ownership ...
+100 covid was an accelerator for a decline that was already underway. Every govt here bangs on about wanting high calibre people yet they offer a public service pay scale and expect fresh thinking.
Guardians an establishment outlet IMO running tory narratives such as the Corbyn smear. No surprise that one of the major players of the brexit con is behind this in Michael Gove.
Give it a chance I'm sure once rimmer, Baldrick etc strike a deal after results are finalised the wealth transfer, public transport knee capping, cuts to already underfunded area's etc will resume.
'Sweeping conclusions' is incredibly generous mickey. BS and Spin from paid msm opinionators is what that is IMO.
Maybe he'll take JK's lead and never show up to parliament thursdays, immediate risk reduction.
Agreed, chippy moved into the centre and got run over by both sides, there's a lesson there. His captains calls on policy and tax were calculated risks which backfired IMO as polls show a wealth tax has widespread support. Also not explaining co-governance...
Media doing their best to assist a change by not persisting with luxon/Willis on the cuts they have planned, the hole in their tax plan etc etc Seymour appears to be able to say anything without repercussions. Luxons about as Christian as Tamaki is IMO ...
Extremely unpalatable to the point of not digestible to NACT. Gutting the comm comm, merging units and underfunding what remained was inside the first 90 days of the Key govt.
Sage advice there BG. Farrar behind grannys paywall asking CEO'S was enough. Another useful tool for the right Davey Boy.
Depends on the seats each has. I like to think if the first 3 have enough to pass legislation then we could get some genuine social change. Chippy would have to depart but that's on him for taking the position he has on a wealth tax.
Harsh Mickey, as a former Fonterra senior figure that's probably what passes there as robust analysis. Maybe she needs a milk carton to explain better.
Sadly correct except the public rely on the media to inform them and that's where we've all been let down for many years now. This and other sites, which hold robust debate, aren't mainstream enough with TVNZ/RNZ so lightweight when heft is required. This ...
Can't see much changes just because he steps down with all the outlets he has globally continuing on with their agendas. Probably gets worse as it frees him up to be involved in the day to day matters even more.
Copy pasting press releases into news items and allowing the likes of Seymour and luxon to use slogans without being questioned on them isn't journalism. We see the odd bit of digging in from the likes of mutch etc but mostly they let them off the hook.
Yes, TVNZ choose to use their senior autocue reader, a pretty useless moderator. We deserve better, Campbell or Kim, Kim's retiring she would be ideal IMO so unlikely we will see her.
I hear ex mayor Andrew king fancied a go, less than he likely fancies himself naturally. Quality people NACT styles.
Journalists need to keep asking as it's clearly got gaping holes...but will they ? Luxons drawn the line, vote for us, get this, we don't really care about anyone else. His bottom feeders gaffe was the mask slipping. We are the chosen ones, we don't need ...
Reading out texts and emails rather than do some actual journalism and hold team NACT to account sums up RNZ.
Matthew 'team muller' Hooten folks. Worth remembering as he used his soapbox very effectively for that. Didn't work out for him and is now back doing what he does best.
They do love a good teacher bash don't they so throw in a phoney culture war and it's 2 for the price of one. People need reminding of the Tolley/ Parata shower key presided over.
An apology would be hollow coming from Stu given his track record as he always appeared to not give a toss. Hooton as a backer....say no more.
Based on nats slogan it will Chris. You can trust them on that if elected as those backers will want a return on their investment
"......clearly hopes that enough of us have short memories." appears to be what NACT and NZF are relying on also as the last time NACT were voted in state houses were flogged despite promises of no more asset sales by Shonkey. Desperation from Winnie ...
James Shaw nails it...indeed there's no better time than now. These Aussie banks are taking the piss both sides of the ditch. Albos making zero moves on the industry that values profit over people all laid out in a scathing royal commission draft report in...
Meanwhile Italy shocks banks with 40% windfall tax.
Bravo greens. The only party offering true social reform IMO, shaws launch speech nailed it with the view that there is no better time than now for reform. Calling out the lack of policy and use of fear by nact was something a half decent media should be ...
