    A look at the influence of the Heritage Foundation on GOP policy since Reagan.

    Its latest direction being project 2025.

      In my view this post is entirely for his cooker audience.

      No Mariner in his right mind would abandon his station at this time.

      i e A large ship in confined waters approaching a waypoint with a large alteration in course coming up.

      There is also a command structure.

      Plain shitstirring. regards.

        absolutely, it turned in my fb feed before stuff, I don't follow nzf, but it shouldn't tolerated.

      2. 2.1.2

        And in the meantime our o so responsible and impartial media will hammer this over and over just for the sake of a "story".

    1. 3.1

      Well, clearly it's a situation involving people reluctant to tell the truth, possibly because it's complicated enough that they have acted on the basis of impressions instead of reality – which is after all human nature.

      Juries have to determine an outcome in such situations, and emotional intelligence usually drives that process rather than evidence of fact. So I reckon all the lawyer can do is to report her personal impressions, and it looks like she's on track to do that.

      Dunno if anyone offended by her take on the situation can sue her for her personal opinion, but perhaps judicial judgments of what any relevant law actually says depend on who ventures an opinion at the time and which way the political wind is blowing.

      Having a political career as a suspended MP is quite innovative – some might even say radical – so I wouldn't be surprised if Tana keeps it going awhile yet. Aotearoa could do with a female Shadbolt in a younger generation, one could argue…

      Another interesting angle on this ongoing saga is that impressions would have been used to communicate prior to the origin of language in the old stone age, so she's being very traditionally Green in her style of communication and that could be the common style in her niche too. Ecosystemic relations are the basis of human existence.

        Hmm, I see Bryce is having a go at illuminating the public interest dimension of the situation:

        "They intend to release just the executive summary, and they're citing all sorts of natural justice and legal reasons. I think we should be suspicious of that. That's what politicians do when they don't want things released, so we shouldn't take that at face value.

        "Yes, there are privacy issues, but you can redact things. You can release things through appropriate mechanisms, and that would give the public a bit more confidence in this process." https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/07/09/darleen-tana-saga-messy-from-the-start-commentator/

        Who is the author of the goddam summary then? The lawyer? The Greens? If the latter, we have potential to stage-manage media headlines right there. Winston will go green with envy. I wonder if they will hire a script-writer.
