When is a conference not a conference?

Well it seems, when National is organising it.
Cancel a primary health conference as it’s not the ‘right economic climate’, but spend an afternoon at Ratana and all of a sudden there is money to run a Maori Jobs Summit. I wonder how self sufficient in terms of funding this summit will be?
I have no problem [...]

You know it’s been a good week when…

You become victim of your own policies.
Following a funny post over at the Land of Extremists (know to you and me as Kiwiblog) re Keys insane decision to legislate (but not actually set time frames or tell them what to do) to invest 40% of the $14b Kiwisaver fund in NZ.

John Key is a habitual liar – (chewing Key’s Facts)

{Update, The Standard is doing an excellent fact check on Key’s lies}
Leaders debate TV 1 this evening.
New Zealand was not one of the ‘last cabs off the rank’ with respect to government guarantees of banks. America is still thinking about this. Lie.
Helen Clark’s environmental record is not worse than George Bush’s. LIE!!!

You lying bastard

I’ve gotta give a big hat tip to The Standard for this TVOne news coverage of the lying bastard’s squirming.
Look I don’t even like the guy, but I was hiding behind my hands at the stupidity. It was worse than watching a train crash, or whatever the saying is, it was just downright painful.

NO! I did not tell the truth

And the difference between Winnie’s $100k and Key’s 100K Shares?
Both needed to be declared to Parliament, both weren’t. One’s been censured the other thinks he will be Prime Minister?
What a complete tosser! Is “I didn’t manage my response properly” the new way of saying I lied?

Surprise Surprise, we don’t trust National

Well of course that should be “We Can’t Trust National”
I mean it was only two weeks ago that senior (well 2 I.C. not much more senior than that) MPs from National were all caught out telling us stuff they shouldn’t have been, comes the poll that shows that 45.7% of the public think National has [...]

Which face of National

So which of the two faced bastards are you to believe?
Maurice Williamson, the spokesperson on transport on the weekend suggested that some kiwis (well Aucklanders) would be facing up to $50 a week toll costs in new roaring projects in the region.
Then even before the ink had dried on the headlines, or [...]

The hunt continues…

As the footage of the National Party meeting continues to be poured through, it’s becoming clear that there are more possibilites for the leaky recordings.
Some just are a bit too obvious. I mean what could two cold 2 dimensional cowardly devious disingenuous buggers with slimy smiles have to do with this? As for [...]

Disingenuous Two Faced Bastard

There comes a time in you life, where there just isn’t any point suffering fools anymore, life’s too bloody short for that rubbish. Of course one must always be respectful of others and not seek out people to make one grumpy. But if it comes looking, there is no way I’m gonna bend [...]

Exposing the truth isn’t a crime.

National may try to look even more like an ass by calling in the police over so called “secret tapes”.
Sorry, if people are in a public forum, and discussions are taped, how is this different from someone using their memory (except it’s more accurate and verifiable) or someone using shorthand scribbled notes.
Fact is National’s filthy [...]

When is one a beneficiary?

Simply ask John Key.
Working for Families package of support for Kiwi families was labelled as creating “Middle Class Welfare” and it was charged as making “New Zealand families beneficiaries” when introduced by Labour and again at the recent budget when upgraded measures were announced.
So now, closer to the election (and no closer to any half [...]

National is taking you for a fool

Policy Policy Policy,
to misquote a very annoying VP at Microsoft whom infamously danced, screamed and sweated across the stage at a developers conference uttering “Developers, developers, developers….”
So with an election on the horizon, literally months away, and the public are expected to be able to understand what the parties stand for (some change their spots [...]

National Lies – again

So they want to give Doctor graduates buckets of cash (wipe the student debt) as incentive to stay in the country to work.
On the face of it, seems logical. Doctors are leaving this country in huge numbers, there’s a massive shortage of doctors in the country, so give them the incentive they can’t resist [...]

National is the biggest liar

Today National has been calling on the Govt to come clean over the true cost of the buy back of the Rail and Ferry system off Toll NZ. Initially the cost was to be $600 million +, but today it’s been revelled that under confidential dealings (as per usual in multi million dollar deals) [...]
