The one not on billboards yet but will have the biggest impact is the zero net carbon (dioxide). They are relying on unicorns and fairy dust technology, people accepting a massive drop in their standard of living and utilities like electricity being rationed. Can you see people accepting that? Me neither.

  Problem is National will never be in agreement on climate stuff. Too many of them have already been sold the pup.

    “Too many of them have already been sold the pup”
    
    Exactly. The so-called Blue-Greens in National are as infected with the Marxist ideology of Environmentalism as anyone, though too silly to quite work out what the real agenda is, thinking they’re just doing “the right thing”.
    
    The only difference is, Labour/Green policies will kill you with a few short stabs to the neck while National’s will be death by a thousand cuts.

    I once sat John Key down in my office and explained the science of it to him. I.e. the fact that carbon dioxide would continue to increase but its effect on the temperature would be minimal from now on.
    He seemed to understand it, but of course this is a political business, not a scientific one, so even if they understand the truth, they will be too frightened to admit it.

  There is a crazy crowd in NZ who strongly believe in zero net carbon even it means shutting down all petrol stations in NZ and begin walking everywhere. As long as you have nutters like them, the socialist Labour and commie Greens will survive and win elections easily. You ain’t seen anything. Wait for a 46 Labour MPs + 16 Green MPs coalition from hell after the 2023 election.

  Machiavellian is the wrong word as this applies much more to labour & the powers behind Arderns cosmetic throne; the Maori caucus, Wellingtons globalist bureaucracy, trans-national corporations & the overly liberal world domination agenda.
  
  I prefer the word mongrel. I’m sure she’s got a little of this that she can tap into?

As well as Three Waters, there is recentralisation of the DHBs and the government playing a bigger part in Electricity generation. Seems the answer to everything is State control. Who would have guessed that was the policy they want to implement.

  Anyone else notice that, when being questioned about the poor progress in vaccinating the risky, the so-called disconnect between the DHBs and the Ministry of Health is being used more frequently as one of the excuses.

Judith wants Jacinda Ardern to own these policy’s and will not stop until she has proved the point and National as a whole have to stand with her and ram home the point as this is in my opinion the only way to change those who back Jacinda at the polls will realize how dangerous she is for New Zealand .
Jacinda Ardern will pass the buck as soon as the going gets tough and will try anythink to wriggle free if National can convince others that this is her agenda , led by her , for her and any accolades that go with it.
You watch when the going gets tough and she starts to lose the argument it will be other Ministers fault before her own and the blame will be passed on.

    Mr Tam seemed very confident of the PM’s trust in him.

    I wonder if Jacinda Ardern and the Minister of Police were aware that quite a few women don’t trust Mr Tam.
    
    Tam was stood down as the Royal Commission’s head of policy and research in June last year, after RNZ revealed a female state abuse survivor contacted the inquiry with safety fears. Other female survivors had also expressed concerns because of gang involvement in the inquiry’s process.
    
    An independent inquiry was ordered into the allegations but its scope and subsequent findings have never been made public.
    
    The Royal Commission has confirmed to RNZ that Tam no longer works for the inquiry but the circumstances surrounding the end of his employment remain a mystery.

All extremely debate-worthy topics, as well as Three Waters, “legitimate utes” and many others.

It does make it difficult though, when the bought-and-paid-for media whores call every reasonable suggestion a “racist dog-whistle”.

  Lod, Trump showed us that to make any real policy headway, one has to fight back hard. The modern left then go completely bananas as they lose their grip on power. It’s all about power. They’re are armed with 100 years or well honed Marxist and Marxism related tactics. They use demoralisation as a stock standard opener. They back up each other’s drivel and smear the opposition regardless of how reasoned and reasonable that opposition is.

  Exactly wrong.
  
  That would hand the lefties the “racist” sick to beat National with as the Nats would be opposing something without knowing how wonderful it really is !! //
  
  National doesnt oppose these policies (yet) as they dont know anything about them. They (we) need to hear about the policies before we can make an informed decision.
  
  Jacinda is hiding the information and making decisions without informed consent and that is what is bad.
  
  I mean, NZ ceeding power and ownership of all the water in NZ to unnamed/unseen entities who have no responsibility to NZ voters could be a wonderful idea. What could possibly go wrong?

“…..All the stuff they didn’t campaign on, and are now quietly implementing!….”

That’s nothing new as I’ve raised the issue here on several occasions where nothing is said during an election campaign, and then immediately afterwards Labour and Green’s MP’s race to the private members box to place in bills that the public received little knowledge of. Prostitution, smacking and gay marriage are the 3 standout bills. And National never complained about that!!!!!!

Quite clearly this is now a case of — when it suits National to complain and make hay!!!!!

Can you see now David why people are continuously pissed with Labour lite?

It’s like the “Judith is a tax expert” well given she, like Key was, is politically constrained, then the truth is that Judith is a ‘status quo tax expert’ at best. That’s nothing against Judith as it is simply the truth.

Words & billboards are all well & good but as they say ‘action’ speaks much louder.

Back in 1989 when I lived in west Berlin we became aware that demonstrations that were being held every Monday night in Leipzig. These demo’s lead to fall of the wall & changed the world.

The thing I like about the “demand the debate” theme is that it doesn’t tell you what to think. It forces you to think for yourself.
The communists hate people who think for themselves
People sitting on the fence will ask themselves “debate about what?” And that is how opinions are changed.

National would do better with hate speech billboards since if they don’t kill that bill a call to “demand the debate” will be moot since any such debate will be illegal.
