Problem is Centralism Incrementalism that Labour is bewedded to = it says NO to everything that is progressive and National Building

Labour is the Party of No that ironically National harps on about

Whenever I’ve seen a middle manager doing this, they’ve done it with a smug air of β€œlook at me being modern and productive and disruptive, unlike you Luddites who spend time thinking about and crafting your work.”

There’s an old saying

Better to be a split tōtara standing strong in its whenua, than an introduced common pine who gives unsolicited reckons,
stamps out the precious undergrowth around it
& still has the audacity to claim itself as β€˜the future of te ngahere' #nzpol

This is an 😱. Two quotes:

β€œDeloitte’s were paid $435,000 to tell the WCC what it could β€œsave” … have billed Wellington ratepayers to the tune of $12,428 per page. Golden words, indeed”

From that report:

If we don't stand up and collectively exercise our democratic franchise to remove these scumbags from Government, we risk losing our democratic options to resist their anti-democratic authoritarian agenda.😱
Their wealthy donors only want us to be customers, not voters.😑

This shit-show Government' behaviour has triggered flashbacks to my 1960s childhood when it was legal for parents to brutally assault their children while telling them it was good for them and claiming they would thank their parents for the beating later on in life.πŸ’©πŸ₯šπŸ€‘

I would vote for a one issue party that was only about planting Te Tiriti as our founding constitutional document.

I would also vote for the TPM candidate in my electorate.

Sam out here supporting the SPCA. Awesome!

I wonder if he’s asked them whether or not, any unions stood them over and pressured them to write about Te Tiriti on their website ?

Would love to know…

Worst NACT act of the week for me was Erica Stanford’s β€œfrankly disgusting” rant about schools supporting Te Tiriti. We are meant to be a democratic nation and the power are speaking.

β€œBut the evidence for its conclusions is there and it is comprehensive. MPs, high-level bureaucrats and Crown lawyers spent tens of millions of dollars across decades on strategies that the Royal Commission found amounted to a β€˜cover-up’ of a system of abuse against children.” #nzpol 2/2

Ffs. A Senior Manager that has form for this type of behaviour?? But has had no appropriate or sufficient consequences to make them change. Then, imo, it’s by design to do further harm to the people the state believe harmed the state by speaking out. 1/2 #nzpol

Luxon reckons that people who can’t afford electricity to cook have no business complaining about the high cost of meat and essential food items and they should also desist from raining on farmers’ parade. #nzpol

Part of why this stuff keeps getting underreported is that our media class can’t get it through their thick heads that this is not a weightless debate over political ideology, but a declaration of war on over 100 million Americans, which DHS is announcing an intent to eliminate

Luxury Marmite Sandwich on Instagram: "There’s no place like home… #nz #nzpolitics #politics #politicalmemes #meme #satire #luxon #wizardofoz" New Zealand's political scene is on the verge of a significant shift. Chris Luxon's leadership and Labour's future are at the forefront of discussions. What does the road ahead hold for NZ's politics ...

A true classic.

In a functioning democracy, especially one of the parliamentary variety, the Defense Minister would be resigning today & the vote of no confidence in the government/chief executive would be taking place tomorrow. Alas, we are not a functioning democracy, & presidentialism was a grave mistake.

Letter to the editor eviscerating Luxon’s leadership and personality, and describing the mess the coalition has made.
A few snippets: β€˜The highly-touted meeting with Trump seems eons ago. Even there, Luxon’s diplomatic coup was simply being shorter and balder than the president.’

Luxon’s β€œhands-free” leadership style has enabled his coalition partners to pursue divisive and extremist policies, allowing him to be relentlessly focussed on securing the next selfie.’

And the kicker: β€˜In a work dominated by personality politics, he is at a distinct disadvantage in not having one.’
