NZ or Israel?

“Mr Key said the Government was taking the boyracer problem seriously and agreed with Ms Collins’ call for cars of offenders to be crushed.”
Awesome, will they do that with tanks? Easy isn’t it. Don’t like someone, send in the crushers.

Rogernomics, who found the bloody defibulator?

The only thing that disturbed me on election night was the bizarre speech by new/old ACT (Association of Cunts and Tyrants) MP Sir Roger Douglas complete arrogant, exceedingly irrelevant and somewhat incoherent comments.
The world has been saved from economic oblivion by essentially Kenyesian and Socialist intervention, and the bullshit game played by that old fucker [...]

How much of this is palatable to core National voters

Recently the Maori party has signalled that it could work with the National Party, post election. We are still deciphering what John Key thinks or says about this stance, you see it’s not us interpreting his words that is the problem, he’s contradicting himself left right and centre over this issue.
Anyway, seeing that there [...]

National is taking the piss

MMP.
The first time in the history of elections in NZ, we managed to get proportionality into our government, and National thinks it’s time to give people the choice.
If people are sick of Politicians, it’s not the system of electing them which is at fault, it’s the calibre of politician which is at fault. And [...]

it’s not a freakin train set

In a very clear signal as to National’s intentions with the national rail network, John Key has once again belittled a very important infra-structural aspect of our economy.
The Labour government yesterday bought the remainder of the rail network including an Interislander ferry (the other two are on lease) after 15 years in the private sector. [...]

When one’s ego is just too big to see the picture

A very typical ploy of the oh-so affected middle class intelligentsia these days is to decry the death of freedoms, muddled up with imagery of cottonwool nanny states resembling a kinder Plunketesque NAZI state.
The latest of these concerned individuals to step up to the plate to have a moan about the overpowering state is the [...]

It’s policy of sort – the claytons policy

With regard to the size of bureaucracy in New Zealand, John Key was once again in the papers with a very muddled message.
“In a speech today, Mr Key pledged to cap the number of public servants at their current level and said he days of a growing public service were over.”
“Over the past eight years [...]

The Herald’s wide berth for Key

Despite the incredible blunders, back tracks, flip-flops (get a new phrase please) of the leader of the opposition over the last 36hrs or so, do you think we’d see any of this on the Herald’s online site (how the rest of the country reads the Herald). No neither did I, but I thought I’d [...]

Correct me if I am wrong but…

TV 3’s sensational revelation that John Key is so popular that a visit to Auckland University by the National leader didn’t even draw a protest.
Why would it. National have sucked up to the electorate and decided that it would be easier to go back on ’socially irresponsible’ policy and keep interest free student loans [...]
