like Infused I live in Upper Hutt however have found Hipkins to be an effective and hard working local MP. This was borne out with the last electoral result where he significantly improved the electoral vote in his favour despite the party vote being line ball. One suspects he enjoyed the question time with Parata because in reality it was a turkey shoot albiet he was that his opponent fits in the confused and bewildered camp.

Two very good MPs.

Why?

They’re self-righteous idiots filled with arrogance and hubris.

And I meant every adjective.

Two very good MPs.

Two new ministers post-2014.

Just for Gaweth, here’s a link on fwacking in North Dakota – you can see it fwom space.

Oh dear! Light pollution on top of evewything else!

Personally I’m not a fan of fracking. I just don’t think the companies involved are terribly keen on fully exploring “discrepancies” such as the chemicals used seeping into the water tables over the next few hundred years and I think the very same companies have enough capital behind them to distribute enough research ~~bribes~~ grants to the educational institutions and enough campaign donations to the politicians to make any such issues disappear from the public radar which is the only radar viewed by the useless moron idiots aka the sheeple which is why everyone thinks it’s just great, just like they used to think smoking was great, when it all began, as well. And frankly our transportation future is in hydrogen fuel cells and zero-point energy, not hydrocarbons.

However much as I distrust the new “science” of fracking, its success in releasing billions of bbl’s of previously unexploitable hydrocarbons is a great tool with which to beat Gaweth and the west of the Gweeniacs over the head for the next decade or so, so on balance I probably won’t talk much about my concerns but rather will point out at every opportunity the glorious benefits it has unlocked which demonstrably and once again prove the Gweens are utter, utter mentals in every single way, bar none.

That’s right. If I had a choice between poison seeping into the water tables and the Gweens, I’d chose the former anytime. That’s how bad Gaweth and his band of fellow travelling circus idiots are.

@alex Masterley,

As clearly stated in the article that was linked in the post, Gareth is going to have some bon fires (for which he has appropriate permits) using felled trees, not rubbish.
Lying or misrepresenting things that are easily checkable rather than constructing a robust argument based on actual facts undermines your credibility and allows people like me to dismiss you as a fool or idiot.

Have another go. I’ll even start it for you. “Gareth adds to global warming by increasing CO2 emissions” is probably the way to go in this instance.

In response to your whitehaven mining assertion. Do you actually think that criminal fraud such as that perpetrated by Jonathan Moylan is the same as a humorous parody by say, John Clarke?

The NZ education system really failed you didnt it.

Another lightweight socialist whose image has enlarged by TV and complicit MSM hacks.
To be put in the same category as Toothy Arden: a MP of little substance who owe his ascent to comrade Clark and her entourage.

National will take the twits seat fom him at the next election.
Hipkins was Trevor’s poodle in the Parliamentary back office and was headed a safe seat in the neighbouring electorate. He has consistently reduced his vote.
He now is trying to suck up to Annette n Trevor in the hope he gets a high List possie.
He is disliked by the activists for his attack on them at their Conference. He is not allowed into Auckland or Christchurch!

So Sage wants to protect eels and Hughes wants to include parody and satire in copyright legislation.
And Hipkins wants to fly in the face of decades of Labour bureaucratese.
What arching ambition! They are worth every dollar we pay them.

You couldn’t make this stuff up.

Cannot stand Chris Hipkins. Chester could roll him if he actually tried (I live in Upper Hutt).

It’s so good to have the court house closed. It’s right in the middle of town. Crips one day, bloods the next. People being thrown through windows.

Thank god.

Like the lad over in Australia who put out a fake press release and nearly caused Fortescue Mining to breach it’s banking covenants?

Parody is fine within fair use.

I suspect this nerd wants to use parody to try and desory businesses he doesnt like.

I see Mr Hughes was talking about using fires to get rid of rubbish on his section. I doubt that he saw the irony in what he was saying.
