Turn out the lights
Recently Ms Ardern talked with embattled Teresa May about the Brexit mess, including free trade deals postBrexit – silly me, I thought only governments negotiated those things.
She then attended the Davos Climate Conference, hob-nobbing with fellow ‘space’ travellers fossil David Attenborough and the hypocritical Al Gore, who waxed lyrical about New Zealand success with exterminating rodents and its carbon emissions stance.
Germany, the champion of unlimited immigration stuffing up, open borders world refugee problems, and plunging Europe into disarray, then gets on to our case, belly-aching we don’t have a written constitution, - so what? It’s flexible and good, much better than Germany’s efforts methinks.
It then proceeds to criticise the socioeconomic differences between overall policies for all Kiwis vs Maori and Pacific interests. The simple solution, send everything to Germany. It will be a win win situation for all other countries, and turn to custard very quickly.
The prime Minister was criticised for being overseas and not attending the recent irrelevant Ratana bunfight - why should she? We are a secular society, and Ratana currently is a
race- based political-orientated religious sect.
To finish off the loose cannon thinking, Ms Ardern then rabbited on about a 2019 ‘Wellbeing” budget, under which everyone magically gets a suck of the sav while also sharing all the inevitable miseries.
Meanwhile, Mr Little, elsewhere before UN Human Rights Review Council, Geneva, bleating about effects of 200 years’ colonisation – imprisonment, incarceration, feminism, gender discrimination. UN Review outfit is a joke.
Mr Peters meanwhile was compromising our immigration controls under the Global Immigration Pact on the basis that the terms were not bindingyeah right! Several major countries refused to sign, and many only paid lip service, because they never intended abiding by its terms.
It will have exactly the same effect as similar try-ons if past performances are anything to go by, otherwise why bother to have a meaningless non -binding accord at all?
Finally, welcome to the jungle, banana republic Venezuela. Our leftist, socialist counterpart is in the poo, undemocratic and autocratic, yet Ms Ardern refuses to criticise or penalise it.
Why? Because universally socialism is based on arrogance, envy and equal sharing of miseries. Just ask the ordinary people in Venezuela.
Our screwball politicians have no mandate from the electorate to go on the international stage and float their phobias and leftist agendas, nor to demean this country. Most Kiwis would not support this insidiousness. I challenge any rational person to pick the bones out of that lot of garbage and find a silver lining. ROB PATERSON Mount Maunganui
