Socialist? That's why you can't take them seriously. Socialist? One of the top 4 deregulated free market trading nations on earth is a socialist kingdom. We're a neoliberal wet dream.
Act are really interesting in that in a lot of ways they are just the fourth labour and national govts. A lot of former lefty's are going to act over the guns issue but most importantly hate speech which has been handled appallingly badly by the minister ...
And yes I know my whinge was immature but what's more immature is attacking journalists and the media for doing their job and calling them bias as commentators so often do on these blogs journalists are by and large of the left. We only have a few ...
To be honest I'd like the governor general to them. She's the head of states rep and she's not a politician so it's in no way politicized having the prime minister show up for the first five minutes means it is politicized and covid should be beyond ...
To be perfectly honest about this man he was funny bright and the best neoliberal finance minister we've ever had. He did smooth the rough edges a little bit and his big legacies are watered down things Jim Anderton had to fight him tooth Nas nail for... ...
Fine every last one of them $50 k or throw them in jail. Check the speed cameras, cctv , number plates and addresses. Bloody hell. Absolute wankers. This happens every time throw a couple in prison.
Not happening. It's incredibly ironic this happened five days after the govt announced it was going to be opening nz up to international travel more in 2022. This is a sign. Delta can transmit from room to another is open for half a second, international ...
Agree but The next election is going to be much closer than anyone likes to believe on our side. The rise of act and 2020 labour voters going to act is fascinating, I really hope the answer to this from the left isnt to label act voters Nazis or bigots and...
This is a reaction to bad polling and it stinks. Allowing employers who exploit migrants to quarantine them? Many employer's especially the kinds who blackmail and hide passports etc from their workers won't care if people test positive and will just have ...
People are sleeping on the streets and families in motels. And we're talking about paintings. F***** PAINTINGS. People are homeless and in motels. It's like I'm in an alternate dimension where the planets not burning and there's no suicide epidemic and ...
Ummm "Guyon Espiner, Anna Fifield, Lucy Craymer, Sam Sachdeva, Laura Walters, John Daniell, Emile Donovan, Paula Penfold" are hardly us imperial stooges. Honestly attacking journalists for their coverage is Trumpian. Most of this country was furious that ...
Agree the aotearoa thing is hilariously dumb even though a lot of labour voters are slightly irritated by it. A true national opposition would be focusing on the debt, housing and failures in health and mental health but this opposition is busy trying to ...
Majority of labours vote change going to act nzf and nats is hilarious 🤣 These are labour voters. This is exactly what people have been warning but we've been called cranks and heretics. The left defends free speech it debates speech we hate it doesn't ...
Her citizenship shouldn't be stripped. Its unfortunate that Australia has done this but quite frankly... I don't have much sympathy for her and neither will the public. We as a tolerant liberal free society have a duty to allow her into her country of ...
Jacinda is quite open about the unwritten rule about home values going up and an unwillingness to buck this trend but wanting to stabilize them. The party that should be most concerned with homeownership is the National party, it's often said that you're ...
Why are we pretending Utes are the reason they are most angry when they keep saying it's the SNA'S that they are worried about potentially losing 10-30% of their land. Rightly or wrongly that's there biggest concern and instead of anyone on our side trying...
Anytime that the state proposes new restrictions on basic human rights or constitutional reforms there rightly will be massive ammount of scrutiny and push back it would be wrong if there wasn't push back, it's shocking to me that some of my comrades are ...
I read this with an open mind that while accepting although there has been some exceptional progress in the last twenty years ,that you as a labour party member would provide a critical analysis for all the positives with all the negatives. instead ... I ...
End the travel bubble permanently. Kiwis won't be so compliant with another nationwide lockdown and We will not be able to eliminate the delta varient even if we do lockdown so it will create endless lockdowns and level jumping up and down. Only 10% of our...
Absolutely, that's why the danish social Democratic party was anti immigration and anti refugee... and it won ...working class people in Europe don't like what's happened since the migrant crisis. They just don't. I'm not saying it's right or wrong I find ...
I wish him all the best parliament is boring without him. We would probably be in a fifth term of a national government had he not gone with labour, incumbents benefit from a crisis after all and wed potentially have a nat/act govt. "Shudders* Nzf is ...
It's not just "the right" , a majority of the hatred I see comes from working class people like me who have no issue with cycle lanes (when they are designed well and not insanely complicating and sometimes destroying roads to the point we have to make two...
So it turns out labour aren't raising benefits they are just moving money from payments around like musical chairs and deducting payments from other top ups and getting praised for literally doing nothing. Some people will be worse off The audacity. The ...
Can someone explain why it's going to take a year to phase in welfare increases? The govt said on budget day that increasing benefits creates an economic stimulation because beneficiaries spend and spend locally, what I don't understand is why wait a year ...
Aren't the winds by the harbour sometimes windy enough to move trucks? Honestly, instead of adding more onto that ugly old rickety bridge, build a new one altogether. A new one should have been built decades ago. That bridge is a time bomb.
Hilarious. Nationals best chance to get in government in 2023 was Nikki Kay, whoever stupidly involved her in that leadership coup destroyed National till maybe 2029. Nikki Kaye may be hated by labour activists but she wasnt hated by the public, she was ...
Labours to some extent abolishing (softly) the economic consensus of the last four decades and the screams from the dogmatic followers of it are hilarious . They called labour commies and socialists and attacked labour with every dirty trick in the book ...
I'm glad I kept my hopes low because that way this really impressed me. If they can find a way to stop deductions from top ups and stop msd deductions for the yearly indexes this is good progress. If I'm not mistaken this is the first govt to increase core...
This budget is kinda make or break. It's the first labour majority budget since the fourth labour govt so we'll see what labour really is today. An unprecedented majority, insane public support in polls, no real opposition, people crying out for help with ...
It's incredibly important to teach the true history of nz and keep Maori culture and language alive. As much as this is important so is class, and while I want the true history of nz taught and how we can come together to achieve a truly equal nation, I ...
