Gee there’s some confusion out there: hating on the noveau riche and their habits is apparently ‘woke’. We hate capitalists and free enterprise say farmers and the Herald. Sorry it’s a link to stuff the next day. What a load of crap- noveau riche are ...
Shush binders full of em. Had to even have one in the leadership team. Women like wearing veils! And donating their labour unpaid to the church because supporting my leadership is the most noble thing they can do outside childbirth.
Gordon Campbell on Luxon’s scary ‘social investment’ neither investment or social adherence. Campbell in scoop
Hilarious to see the Herald come out as anti-capitalist on behalf of rural NZ and then try and blame the government too. Two vodka entrepreneurs try to do something a bit different on a farm, which like their vodka is a bit kooky, but market focused and ...
Anyone able to fill out Josie Pagani’s CV? I’ve seen an awful lot based on her candidacy for a Labour seat a decade ago. Then I hear rumors about her being an oil lobbyist or having connections to one which you never see listed at the bottom of her columns...
Oh yawn yawn mumble mumble
Any other interesting poll information? Read one headlined ‘Nats surge ahead’ or some such which had most parties more or less unchanged and a .6% increase for National.
McCarten’s involvement is odd. Maybe JT was too Westie Maori and this dude has got all the aggressive (and regressive and homophobic by the looks of that Twitter thread) qualities of JT, but ticks from an odd number of establishment figures too… From the ...
Doesn’t present well? The prosecution rests.
Watch as they froth and don’t even read the article. What’s the point of NZ if it can’t respect a woman like Nanaia? I’d rather turn NZ over to the Chinese than allow the likes of Brash and that racist rump to have another go. Stuff it. 180 years is enough...
I was being sincere. What do you mean by wokeism? I wanna give all those wokeists a chance to prepare. Also I want to educate myself. As for freedom, it’s a genuine question with there being all kinds of rights available to people. It’s also an incredibly ...
Not mine. Though I much prefer what Thatcher had to say about jungle canyon rope bridges. It was what belatedly led me, despite having watched a billion war movies and docos featuring Churchill, to find out years later that he’d been turfed out by the ...
Do you get compensated for posting here at all? And do you feel wokeism is a general problem in Auckland? How would you define wokeism in an NZ context? Did you feel taking vaccination against Covid was an issue for freedom warriors? Do you feel that ...
Not a case of nominative determinism as such, more a lack of false advertising: if you’d understood beforehand you’d have saved time on your comment. Overall I’m much more pessimistic looking ahead than I was. I’m not sure the things I used to believe in ...
Oh dear, is that it? I watch the odd Jonathan Pie, but he’s disaffected youff, given to viscious lamentation, but not searching for Camelots… The Labour Party tends to be fairly useless unless there is a strong and energised core electorate critiquing them...
I mean genuinely asking. So you aren’t a culture warrior? Or don’t identify that way?
So when you say right wing you mean you’re a signed on culture warrior? Here to beat antifa etc? Or just quote those who are?
Thought I’d ask the intellectuals on here to see who were just bored and prolific RW trolls. If you’re commenting here you’ve probably got some impetus to do so.
Is there a site out there that has a good overview of progressive politics going ahead? Conservatives are re-running George Osborne’s and the 1990s greatest hits and it doesn’t have to make sense. In Britain progressive politics seem to be a way to allow ...
I noticed that too. Rather than stop threats of violence against public figures, that she should move. Thankfully she has other advisors. Or we could treat threats of violence in public life with the severity it deserves and act sharply against extremism. ...
I mean all they’re doing is underlining that the employees with the weakest bargaining positions need protection because employers are likely to behave poorly and lie in order to get what they want.
ABC- Shift signal. Albanese signals he may soften deportation policy after meeting with Jacinda Ardern.
Crosby Textor still around? Two track strategy or whatever you call it. Sainted leaders Te Reo FB page, coincides with this flood of dog whistling and blatant racism bubbling up all over the right elsewhere.
Vast difference on the reporting at least the headlines on Ardern’s trip to Australia. Nothing yet on stuff. Herald doing a Murdoch impression: ‘Failure, words no action’ RNZ quotes the PM as a headline.
The guy who was all in on Todd Muller?
Whoever it is it should not be subjected to polls of the public and trying to stir up angst against the speaker. The speaker’s office is what enables debate in the chamber and questioning of the government and should not be subject to such crude attacks. ...
Sang a good song. Why do you assume I’m old enough to remember him?
Dunno if this happened yesterday but the Spin-off reporting on Ipsos shows National with the political wind in their sails. Frankly I think the Labour benches have been poor. Perhaps it’s government under these circumstances or the headwinds. I don’t know ...
Okay man. Huff and puff. Did a pacific leader tweet the language Mahuta had negotiated, while repudiating Scott Morrison as what you’ve described? Yes. Did any Pacific leaders say Mahuta was a colonialist etc etc…no. But you, way to prove how non-...
They’ve clearly chosen her as part of a dog whistle campaign. It’s nice to see the ‘Democracy Project’ just admit it is gentrified Mike Hosking and friends. It’s an obviously political attack devoid of context and in some cases truth. All those that have ...
Whip up fear, he says. Not baseless concerns, but certainly not as much to be afraid of as has been whipped up. Newshub article where quote is sourced from. Would have thought Ben Thomas at least a somewhat prominent figure in NZ right wing thinking: ...
