Speaker: Low-quality language on immigration, in reply to mark taslov,
Mark do you blame the housing shortage on immigration, overseas property investment or racism?
-
Sorry to be unclear, I was stating that Labour's horrible piece of racism was about property ownership rather than immigration.
-
Not to defend Labour’s low point, their Orewa moment but the Chinese sounding name debacle was substantively about overseas ownership of housing stock as investment. A practice that should be outlawed.

Oh god they are foul. I can't see the logic in taking the 'most violent and recidivist ' youth and teaching them how to shoot accurately.

Hard News: A thundering clash of, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Oh, fuck right off.
Metiria Turei. Maori woman who owned benefit fraud to highlight issues of poverty.
Paula Bennett. Maori woman who can't remember if she did benefit fraud, and lawyered up when challenged, who became minister for social welfare and recinded the educational opportunities that she had to get her out of welfare dependency and instituted sanctions on the poor.
So no I won't fuck off.

Hard News: Metiria's Problem, in reply to Alfie,
With Metiria resigning it finishes her story as a politician and it can be seen from one angle as an idealistic and naive narrative, especially when compared to the Nat MP you are referring to. If that Nat’s youthful indiscretions catch up with her I very much doubt that she would resign. It does make me realise, by comparison, that the shitstorm surrounding her story isn’t about being a Maori woman, it’s about being a socialist and wanting to help the poor.

I note that Sir John Key has just been awarded an honorary doctorate for that tacit support. Piled high and deep.
