Has National lost the plot #3

March 27, 2012

Given media reports re Brownlee and his comments about Finland, it seems that Brownlee has lost the plot. What a stupid thing to do.

National’s political management is appalling at present.

Double Standards from Dom Post?

March 21, 2012

In yesterday’s Dom Post editorial on the succesion in Tonga Adam read:-

Nine of the 26 seats in Tonga’s parliament are still reserved for the nobility. There should not be any

Now why is it bad for Tonga to have 9 seats reserved for the nobility, when in NZ we have race based seats. Where is the Dom Post sounding off about the deplorable fact that we have race based seats in Parliament and increasingly in local government. Why is it bad for one segment of Tongan society to have preference, but not in NZ?

Somehow we in NZ seem happy to tell our Pacific neighbours what is and is not acceptable, whilst increasingly giving preference to one segment of our multi-ethnic society in NZ itself.

 

Oliver Cromwell on Nick Smith

The Lord Protector had something pertinent to say in regard to this:-

You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately… Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

NZ good for lambs!!

March 17, 2012

Is this really David Shearer’s vision?

This new New Zealand will be the kind of place the rest of world would like to live.

It will be clean,
it will be green,
it will be clever …
and it will be a place that’s good for lambs.

Adam is not a fan of Shearer, but the paucity of imagination expressed here appalls him. Yet none in the MSM have remarked upon this.

NZ a place good for lambs, not people but lambs. What the hell?
