A little dystopian reality check for us all. We cry, this could never happen in our Aotearoa. But everytime we let stuff go that we fundamentally disagree with, we are one step closer 🤔

Muldoon is a prime example , nothing but a bully and a thug yet people loved him, there is a weird liking for his sort in this country.

Muldoon was an old-school Kiwi socialist (remember his govt. tried to cure unemployment by starting the PEP schemes...?) compared to this lot., who are the pawns of Fascist Neoliberal Capitalism, run by and for the 1%.

Agree we need to voice our concerns more.

Disturbing really. Is it possible? The essence of it is, for sure. Thanks Nick.

Another great read Nick but I do have to wonder if Luxon is delusional enough to think it’s true 😳

Oh dear I wish that I found this hard to believe, but things seem to be happening that would not come about in the normal course of events, with a government that understood that the history of our country matters. People with no sense of protocol, who have no understanding or caring about the way things should be done. I do hope that this is just a bad dream.

Nick, please tell us that your crystal ball is having a bad day!

We can only hope that this prediction isn't as accurate as your predictions from 2022 have been!

You took my thoughts as this is exactly what I was going to say. Two great minds must make a difference surely.

Nick, I tried to follow your link for Gold Card by clicking on the "Get 20& off Forever" Link, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions on this??? Thanks!

20% off forever, NOT 20& as mistakenly posted in my above comment. Duh!

Well as I always tried to get my Daughter to "Use her Words" I think the same should apply to us Parents & Adults. Clear communication dispels most all controversy. Its as simple as that EXCEPT when it comes to how our Dear Politicians, that have a different language than we Civilian Bottom Feeder, Tax System Dupes do. Maybe your Administrative Bureaucratic Backshop Bosses understand you, but we out here in the Real World sure don't!

What these Professional Corporatised Political Party folks don't say is the problem as much as what they Do Say in Public, or on TV & Radio Interviews.

That leaves me feeling like I must have missed something in these conversations & Media Snippets. It seems as if there's a different Agenda being played out to answer the Media / Public concern. One that none of us have been Privy to, but are having something forced on us by previous proxy agreement with some other audience's "Group Thinking" the Rules of Proper Play, but keeping those rules a secret.

What gives here Christopher ole Buddy? Why the confused & mixed messages on your seemingly hidden agendas that conflict so radically with what you're saying to the public Ear??? Are you Dyslexic Autistic, or Retarded in your understanding of WHY folks are concerned with your Corporate Management Style? If that's the case please let us know what help you need to screw your head on straight to be on the same page as the folks you're Lording over, because you're not Governing in any Democratic sense of the word, you're Obfuscating your Arse off & that needs to stop just like the Buck! It all starts & stops with you Pal! Whats the deal Banana Peel??? Enquiring minds want to know, or they'll eventually Flip Out & Trash the place!

This "I say to you" thing sounds like a line from Shakespeare, or Drama Class for Dummies to sound officious, but your not saying anything after you say it, that has anything to do with unpacking the "Real Deal" of what you and your Crusaders are up to in rearranging OUR Ship of State Deck Chairs to fit YOUR grand designs, so please get off that Obfuscation Cloud and come clean with us.

NOT yours truly, L.W
