Hi Mac, Those on the left generally ...
Dear Mr Jones, I understand you have lots of money earmarked to improve NZ. We've got a shortage of houses bro. Can you spend some of your money teaching lots of people to make houses please. Yours in anticipation, Vanbound
Winston cut a coalition establishment deal for NZ First that gave them every opportunity to shine. A billion dollars to ignite Provincial NZ. A launch ramp for Shane Jones to rise, the heir apparent. That's a thousand million dollars, you'd think it would ...
Why on earth would I give thousands of dollars to a political party if I wasn't expecting something in return. I'd have to be out of my mind. People in a position to throw $1000's away didn't get into that position by throwing $1000's away. Much of a party...
A no Winston labour/green govt would be good for NZ. In a 2nd term 'It's the last guys' fault' moves more to being an excuse than a reason. "Winston has us in handcuffs" removed as an argument. With fewer places to hide, demand to deliver increases.
I'm curious to see the election rabbit Winston pulls out of his hat. Offshore they have to cheat, here, we just can't resist boarding his bus. If enough of us can visualise a green/labour majority, we'll get what we ask for.
When it comes to climate change we can't avoid being hypocrites. We all sin. I just can't stop fiddling with V8's. But I don't need to drive it from here to Africa, don't want to. The car I do all my kms in could easily be electric. Over 12 years, triple ...
I'm discounting the time Jacinda spent with Zuckerberg et al. I think she has already made an offshore difference. There's an awful lot of Aussies wishing 'By crikey. I wish we had that Sheila at the helm of the ute.'
If creating electric cars is helping, the Right are all over that. Elon Musk extracts billions out of them. Not because Elon is saving Mother, it's because 'That 20 grand will be worth 40 grand in 6 months Baby,' There lies the path to getting everyone ...
For as long as Peter Dunne can remain esoteric, bi partisan and visually resemble Bram Stoker's Transylvanian that guy has got a role on those Newshub Nation type shows. Broadway soundbites, he's great content. I wonder if he'd entertain a bow-tie sponsor?...
I think for Labour and the Greens their primary concern is people. The Greens have a 'if we all keep dumping in the nest aren't we all going to drown in poo' focus.
The best way to get the Right onboard with climate change is for publicaly listed sea-wall, solar cell and lithium producers to start spiking upward on Wall Street. It'll come.
"David you cynical shit." Would not be a good way to start a bid to change my mind. To change my mind bend your story to suit what I want to hear.
Ha! Our perception is our reality. There are aspects of being Left that appeal to all. 'We're just looking for a fair go mate.'
'Nazi' would be funnier, but bridges to build and all that. We need to put on our best frock and seduce the Mums and Dads with 2 houses. Lets embroider Winston's name on an RSA stool. I think he'd still look youthful in the LCD glow of Amazon Gold Big Cash...
Hell yeah, far better chance of changing someone's mind with a "Do you mind if I ask what makes you feel that way?' response as opposed to 'Nazi'
I wonder if we could invest in expanding the 'Big brother' program and save money? Spend 20 million at the swings and save 200 million at the roundabouts. I think it needs the red tape of a Police etc background check but bona fide participants would be ...
Offended is fine but the power will gravitate towards 'So what are we going to do about it?' People are drawn to that attitude, kinetic energy. "I'd top meself but I've got too many letters to write." National aspire to flex their kinetic energy by coming ...
Ha! New rules list. So concise... 'Don't be a dick.' In motor racing it's 'Don't die.' I wonder if lots of us have a few people in our lives who have the power to whisper 'Stop what you're doing right now, you are making a dick of yourself' and we know ...
I don't use the word nigger because of the law. I don't use it because it's use would say more about my calibre than it would the person I'm directing it towards. Society filters out the offensive by itself. I don't pay the male and female contractors that...
Yes, nobody wants to hurt another's feelings but this whole thing of being offensive is entirely subjective. I'm reminded of the guy that was looking at years in a hell-hole Asian jail because he ran a press ad featuring a Buddha figure wearing headphones....
Good comedians are masters at making humans smile at what dorks we can be. Aussie comedian Steve Hughes' take on being offended starts at about the 4 min mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHMoDt3nSHs
The Left is home of the perpetually offended. I think we need to get better at responding to the N'er be pleased with a "So what?" It's ok to be offended. We choose to take offence. I'm offended by nature. My constantly running eyes and nose. I just ...
Yes weka. None of us take on major tasks without making errors. If we're not making mistakes we're not trying hard enough. We all know this yet politicians are useless at owning mistakes. We expect set-backs, reshuffles, miscalculations and nobody shifts a...
Roundly slagging competitors is generally a flawed business strategy. If I claimed that the car-yard next door are liars and cheats, it doesn't make someone want to buy a car off my lot. This is why we don't see much comparative advertising in NZ. Nothing ...
Got a call from a Kiwi pal in Perth. A dear friend of his had up and died. He went searching for a eulogy. Google led him to Nick Cave's website. Nick and his partner Susie had lost their son Arthur at an early age and a fan asked a question that lit ...
All that's wrong with capitalism is that it lacks kindness. Kindness towards others and the planet. Fortunately it's becoming culturally fashionable to give a damn about outcomes other than a few stacking cash. Kindness is not about opening up immigration ...

Eco maori - Merry Christmas to you and the people in your heart. I enjoy your Yesterday Today contributions. Most of us write with a censor onboard, I like your freestyling, peace and goodwill to you and yours.
You again, When did you get out? Got probation? I bet they'll have their eyes on you my laddie. The mere mention of a pooftah, darkie or cracker will see you facing the unknown hanging judge: Incognito Weka.
