Nats propose centrally planned economy
Not even joking.
Natwatch
Seymour on Nat properties and policy
The right in court
The political right wing has been kicking itself in the head all over the courts recently. For those of you keeping score at home we have…
Chester Borrows in court
With the Eminem case on the go too its a busy time in court for National.
Brownlee as Foreign Minister as successful as you’d expect
Brownlee’s run as Foreign Minister is already a mess. Such is the depth of National’s talent pool.
Eminem case could cost Nats big
Eminem’s lawyer on the Nats’ email chain – “Also, the focus is on not just whether it’s an infringement. But whether they can shift liability to someone else.” Typical.
Pike River – what did the government know and when did they know it?
Bill English claims to have been unaware of the video footage, but the night before Nick Smith’s spokesperson said the government had been “advised”. It would have been extraordinary if they had not. Pike River families deserve the truth.
National in court – is “pretty legal” good enough?
Today National, party of personal responsibility and property rights, is in court for allegedly ripping off work the work of Eminem. How stupid do you have to be to make the same mistake twice?
Poor Donald
“I loved my previous life. I had so many things going. This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier.”
Billions of lies
The Nats are settling in to election mode – smoke and mirrors. Steven Joyce feeds us billions of dollars worth of lies.
Nick knifed
A tin shed and a cup of cold Milo
Funny how the Nats can always find millions for vanity projects – and sweet FA for the homeless.
Stay on the treadmill suckers!
That is the Nats’ advice to aspiring Auckland house buyers.
Mana Māori truce didn’t last long
“A poisonous and destructive cancer” – that’s not something you say to your allies.
HERALD EXCLUSIVE ON HIT AND RUN shows they haven’t read it
Worst piece of “journalism” on Hit and Run so far.
Update: To their credit, as of 11am this piece of nonsense seems to have vanished from The Herald website.
Wayne Mapp does not deny civilian deaths in botched raid
Good on you Wayne. Hit just got real.
Nat branch chair calls for “corporal punishment”
Bill English should have spoken out to dissociate his party from Price’s archaic views. Why hasn’t he?
Breitbart Bill
Who has been feeding Bill English the latest alt-right attack language?
Bye John!
Key’s act was was well and truly blown, and he’s moving on without, I suspect, a backward glance, at a job that his heart was never really in.
There are no surpluses
There are no surpluses in NZ right now, not in any real sense. There is only debt, negative externalities and deferred costs.
Nick legged it
Remember how the move of Nick Leggett to National was supposed to be some big disaster for Labour?
Who will Bill English attack next?
Fresh from insulting voters, English has now taken to insulting political parties. Perhaps he doesn’t want to be in government any more? Or is he just losing it completely?
Will Collins make a move?
The crisis around English’s amateur-hour handling of the super announcement is an opportunity for Judith Collins.
English proposes raising age of super to 67 (eventually)
In what seems to have been a panicked reaction to a disastrous series of interviews, English has just announced that the age of eligibility for super will rise from 65 to 67, phased in from 2037.
Future state abuse victims
What to do with the helpless anger generated by such a statement?
English reckons the collapse of NZ’s housing is “a good problem to have”
In every case a failure to plan, a failure to deliver, and a glib attempt to fob off the victims of his government’s failure.
Poor Tory Farrar
I know everyone is bored with blog wars, but this hypocritical Tory twit is just too funny
English hammered on ‘druggies’ smear
English will be worried that he got hammered like this, when Key got away with all sorts of insults and lies. And if you think your fellow Kiwis are useless workers you’re doing it wrong.
Bill’s bigoted drug reckons vs the evidence
Some folks Bill knows are telling him stuff and he’s basing immigration policy on it. The facts say otherwise. Bill English is full of shit and it’s time that more media called him on it.
English on the Māori seats
Someone should ask English whether he still believes the opinions stated in the press release, and if not, why not?
Nick Smith screws up again
We should probably just schedule this as a monthly post.
Bungling Brownlee under fire
Gerry Brownlee is a walking disaster. Such is the depth of National’s talent pool that he is ranked number 4 in their lineup.
English wants Pike River out of the headlines in election year
Any sign of progress is welcome, but let’s hope English is not deliberately stringing along the Pike River families with false hope.
Marama Fox vs Bill English – who will blink?
Marama Fox and Bill English have painted themselves into a bit of a corner, and Fox is threatening to “walk away from the Government”. Key would have handled this better.
Watch Bill English lying through his teeth on housing
English is a less convincing liar than Key.
