Stealing New Zealand

On the sham “constitutional review”:
‘..The last thirty years have been characterised by increasingly undemocratic arrogance by both National and Labour governments. (Sadly, the official panel’s terms of reference do not cover any inquiry into how that might be remedied.) There is a saying that if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, then it probably is a duck. By the same token, this allegedly impartial inquiry looks, walks and sounds like a jack-up, laying the foundations for a disastrous and irrevocable betrayal of the interests of most New Zealanders…’

An ‘Aussie Cyprus’ looms…..?

‘GILLARD Government debt levels are forecast to blow out by 80 per cent to $165 billion in this term alone – equal to more than $14,000 for every working Australian….’
They inherited a very strong economy and they’ve done their best to wreck it. Already they’re talking about raiding Aussie super funds in order to help “balance the budget”.
The sooner this pack of mendacious incompetent socialists are given the boot, the better.

UPDATE: from this morning’s News.com:
‘JULIA Gillard has failed to rule out if Labor will raid superannuation funds in the May budget, saying any decisions made for the sector will be in Australia’s long term interest.’
and
‘more than six million Australians now live off government benefits or salaries, with only another six million Australians working full-time in the private sector to pay for them.’

‘Is It Time To Organize The Revolution?’

A brave man.
I don’t think it’s possible to actually organize a revolution, given the levels of surveillance and apathy at present. I do think that given the right spark there will be a sufficient number of profoundly pissed-off people who will join in when it starts to go down in the form of race riots or protests about government seizing savings, to name just two possibilities.
Of course it’s time. In fact it’s way, way past time to water that tree.

Open house

behold, the wisdom of teachers:
‘Former Kew Primary principal Kim Dray, who stood down in 2011 amid controversy over a radical toileting policy, will not return to the school next term despite being exonerated after a 19-month inquiry …
Dr Dray came under fire from parents after she trialled a “whole class approach” to toilet breaks, in which the entire class would go to the toilets if one child needed to go.
The ex-principal had hoped the policy would “signal the arrival of a new level of respect for the toilets in the school.”….’
