Well, I agree with that too. National have really done a superb job of framing the narrative in the last five or so years, but I'm still slightly surprised that so many can be bought off so cheaply.
Three words: bread and circuses.
Or in this day and age, whitebread and media circuses.

Speaking of pirates, they've finally set up shop in NZ.

The connections here are:
- Conservative churches
- The prospective candidates Tuigamala and Jones (the latter is also on Family First's oversight board)
- Foreign minister Murray McCully, whose approach to Pacific aid and development is not shared by most people in the sector.Old. Boys. Network. Crony. Capitalism.

Japan could do well to get over its neuroses and be more self-critical. Furthermore, the only way forward for the country is to purge the power structures of corruption, nepotism, and inaction.

Right. The tax plan is, according to the PM, based on the idea that currently New Zealand's wealthiest people do not currently have the resources to be able to productively invest in NZ, and that if we don't look out, many will be forced overseas. I'm almost more offended that they expect me to believe that than I am by the policy itself.
They already do have the resources. Problem is, they've gone into McMansions (and maybe Range Rovers too) instead of software companies.
