• Co-governance - the real deal

    "We are moving from a regime where historical wrongs are being
    addressed, to a state where one ethnic class has an inherent and
    enduring political status that is based on their ancestry. This cannot
    end well."
    And I am, sadly, of the opinion that it will not end well.

    There are some clever people manufacturing claims, falsely, that
    co-governance is not new. That is a lie - co-governance is a carefully
    planned attempt to put most of the power into the hands of a minority.
    Now is the time Mr Hipkins to put it away for good, but I suspect you
    will not.

    The classic phrase

    " Into this delicate balance crashed Ardern and her progressive thoughtlessness."

    Spot on.

    But one thing we can guarantee about so called co-governance is it's going to deliver Labour a thrashing later this year despite anything Hipkins does...

    The modern version of co-governance, as defined in the Water reforms legislation passed during the current Government's term in office, was
    defined in the He Puapua report in 2019. This report was commissioned
    by a previous coalition government led by Labour but without the
    knowledge of their coalition partner and kept secret until leaked
    without authorisation.

    Now is the time Mr Hipkins to put it away for good, but I suspect you
    will not.

    He effectively cannot do this. The legislation is already in place so
    needs to be repealed (directly or indirectly). No government has ever
    walked legislation back like this.

    Finlayson has never spoken of co-governance. He supported a smal

    The rabid right picked up on any discontent and regardless of whether

    The "Libertarian" stance of Damien Grant is more about his very right

    Are you sane? What insane logic - the presence of 'rabid left' or
    'rabid right' does not have the opposite as a prerequisite. Both can
    be present without the opposite. How can you expect to sustain
    logical argument with nonsense logic like this?

    Some of Tony's arguments might be considered extreme, but at least
    there is a logical basis for them. You on the other hand exhibit
    total lack of logic as outlined above.

    When you get into a debating hole where you have no logical
    justification for your arguments, you fail to recognise the wisdom of
    not digging any further, as you did in your post above. Your
    continued justification of support for co-governance as defined in the
    Water reforms legislation from a past National government is the
    clearest example of your flawed logic.

    Did you read the article by Chris Finlayson? Getting other opinions
    ans seeking consensus makes sense . . .
    Finlayson has never spoken of co-governance.
    https://e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-analysis/chris-finlayson-co-governance-should-be-embraced-not-feared/
    and
    https://www.minterellison.co.nz/insights/co-governance-the-misunderstood-political-hot-potato-and-likely-election-dominator
    and there are probably others. Why lie when those two links were
    posted very recently?
    He supported a smal
    lnumber of co-management matters.
    But I see that you cannot adress the content of the article.
    Why would I? It can be summed up by two words "We hounded"
    The rabid right picked up on any discontent and regardless of whether
    they agreed or not, they supported any and all hounding of government. >>>> The "Libertarian" stance of Damien Grant is more about his very right
    wing views on size of government - the changes to firearms laws were
    largely supported by the National Party. Damien Grant is entitled to
    his opinion, but those opinions are not shared by a large majority of
    voters.
    Whereas the rabid left keeps pushing the same fucking lies!
    It may have escaped your notice Rich but finlayson has retired from politics. Pity you don't :)

    According to Tony there is no such thing in our political environment
    as the "rabid right"; and obviously that means there is no "rabid
    left".

    Are you sane? What insane logic - the presence of 'rabid left' or
    'rabid right' does not have the opposite as a prerequisite. Both can
    be present without the opposite. How can you expect to sustain
    logical argument with nonsense logic like this?
    Thank you Crash - I quite agree - the assertion by Tony was nonsense;
    of course there is a rabid right; and yes in the view of many there is
    a rabid left - but currrently commentators regard the rabid right as
    being more significant regarding mis - and disinformation, extreme
    political statements, irrational assertions etc.


    Again then according to Tony, your comments are stupid and
    unnecessarily rude., and once more you trotally fail to address the
    content - it is an illness.

    Tony is of course wrong about our not having extremists - Tony
    possibly regards the "Victory for Freedom" people that escalated
    violence at the Parliamentary protests as being just normal people
    like himself . . .
    You need treatment.

    For what? Do you not agree that some of the parliamentary protestors
    were extreme?


    Some of Tony's arguments might be considered extreme, but at least
    there is a logical basis for them. You on the other hand exhibit
    total lack of logic as outlined above.

    When you get into a debating hole where you have no logical
    justification for your arguments, you fail to recognise the wisdom of
    not digging any further, as you did in your post above. Your
    continued justification of support for co-governance as defined in the
    Water reforms legislation from a past National government is the
    clearest example of your flawed logic.

    even hint at it - you are pure political garbage encapsulated in one
    tiny closed mind.

    According to Tony there is no such thing in our political environment
    as the "rabid right"; and obviously that means there is no "rabid
    left".

    Are you sane? What insane logic - the presence of 'rabid left' or
    'rabid right' does not have the opposite as a prerequisite. Both can
    be present without the opposite. How can you expect to sustain
    logical argument with nonsense logic like this?
    Thank you Crash - I quite agree - the assertion by Tony was nonsense;
    of course there is a rabid right; and yes in the view of many there is
    a rabid left - but currrently commentators regard the rabid right as
    being more significant regarding mis - and disinformation, extreme
    political statements, irrational assertions etc.

    Current commentators are still getting the government propaganda payments Rich. They're quite happy to push the governments dis-information and (like you) ignore the governments stupidity during the protest last year!

    Besides as you well know Crash was talking about your stupidity which you conyinue!

    I don't know about Tony but the original protesters that marched to

    https://www.ipca.govt.nz/Site/parliament-protest/

    There may have been just 100 protestors the first night but there were
    many more that marched to Parliament that day - indicating that the
    protest was started by many that dispersed peacefully. If the Police
    had taken action on day 2 to end the occupation they mayhem that

    The actions of those that camped out on the Parliamentary lawn were

    My assertion was and is accurate. You keep talking about rabid or far >>>right in our political parties and yet you have never (that is never >>>ever) provided any evidence.
    To suggest that there is a rabid left is also not supported by
    evidence.
    In fact the word rabid is somewhat silly in the NZ environment.
    You are ill, rude and illiterate.


    Again then according to Tony, your comments are stupid and >>>>>>unnecessarily rude., and once more you trotally fail to address the >>>>>>content - it is an illness.

    Don't you dare put words into my mouth you stupid little fart.

    Mere speculation, Tony; I carefully did not presume to put words in
    your mouth - but I note that you were not prepared to either confirm
    or deny the possibility.
    Yes you did you liar. I choose not to answer something which was not a >question.
    There are no extreme political parties in NZ. SHoiw otherwise or piss
    off once more.

    I do not claim that we have extreme political parties - sure there are differences, but about 75% of legislation is said to be agreed by
    Labur and National (regardless of which is in govenment), and that
    still remains over 50% when all other parties are included (and even
    then, sometime it is token oposition to get noticed)

    But there are individuals with extreme political views; and many
    commentators appear to believe that the number of such extremists has
    increased over the last 10 to 15 years - often due to social media and international extremists able to spread their message more widely -
    and in the USA deliberate manipulation (eg Trump campaign).


    You need treatment.

    I happen to think that the arrangements brokered by the Crown under
    both Michael Cullen and Chris Finlayson were good examles ofthe value
    of meeting treaty obligations through sharing a right and obligation
    to act in the interests of all of New Zealand through co-governance. >Irrelevant - neither of them talked about co-governmance and you have
    still not shown otherwise. The treaty does not mention it and does not
    even hint at it - you are pure political garbage encapsulated in one
    tiny closed mind.

    I don't know about Tony but the original protesters that marched to >>Parliament were not extreme unless you consider all anti-government >>protestors to be extreme.

    There may have been just 100 protestors the first night but there were

    https://www.ipca.govt.nz/Site/parliament-protest/

    They went there to see the Government, to see the PM, or others about the Government's processes on the Covid response.

    The fact that they got a flat refusal did nothing to help the situation.


    There may have been just 100 protestors the first night but there were

    Had the PM had the responsibility to meet with the protesters it is highly likely that each side would have made its point and the protesters would

    The "Libertarian" stance of Damien Grant is more about his very right

    largely supported by the National Party. Damien Grant is entitled to

    Yes, the politics that is believed / expressed by individuals. You

    Not surprising considering your hypocrisy you see it in other party's but never in the two you so whole heartedly support. If anyone in this ng is rabid it's you! :)

    My comments on your sanity were clearly directed to you. What Tony
    may or may not have said is irrelevant. Your contention that we have
    'rabid right' political parties is simply nonsensical and dressed up
    with emotive overtones. Generally I don't respond to your more
    extreme and irrational posts.


    Again then according to Tony, your comments are stupid and >>>>>>unnecessarily rude., and once more you trotally fail to address the >>>>>>content - it is an illness.

    For what? Do you not agree that some of the parliamentary protestors >>>>were extreme?

    I don't know about Tony but the original protesters that marched to
    Parliament were not extreme unless you consider all anti-government
    protestors to be extreme.
    https://www.ipca.govt.nz/Site/parliament-protest/

    They went there to see the Government, to see the PM, or others about the >>Government's processes on the Covid response.

    The fact that they got a flat refusal did nothing to help the situation.


    There may have been just 100 protestors the first night but there were
    many more that marched to Parliament that day - indicating that the
    protest was started by many that dispersed peacefully. If the Police
    had taken action on day 2 to end the occupation they mayhem that
    followed would have been averted.

    Had the PM had the responsibility to meet with the protesters it is highly >>likely that each side would have made its point and the protesters would >>have gone away. Ceratinly the high ground would have no longer been under >>their feet.

    ou may be talking about a different protest. Fairly early on there
    were people holding banners calling for Ardern to be hanged. Both
    Ardern and Luxon acted responsibly in refusing to allow any of their
    MPs to go out among the protestors. Fairly early on there the leader
    of a Nazi party being interviewed. Those nice peaceful protestors
    forced teh clsure of to secondary schools for girls to close . . .
    Are you drunk?
    The parliament protest did start peacefully with people who genuinely wanted to be heard.
    Which protest are you mumbling about?



    The actions of those that camped out on the Parliamentary lawn were
    way beyond the right to protest. If there is a next time, the Police
    should enforce the law and evict the protestors.

    The Police, and by inference the government, were made to look
    ineffectual.

    Yes, the politics that is believed / expressed by individuals. You

    So when you can get your brain working maybe you could explain what that >>sentence actually means.
    I support no political party - do you think I should?
    If so, exactly why?
    Meanwhile there are no rabid right political parties in NZ. Right?

    I was not referring to any political party, but to individuals that
    express 'rabid right' political views. See above - I do not claim that
    we have extreme political parties. But there are individuals with
    extreme political views; and many commentators appear to believe that
    the number of such extremists has increased over the last 10 to 15
    years. Those are the 'rabid right' I am referring to - they have a
    range of objectives, but a common one is to seek to diminish
    confidence in any aspect of government.
    So identify these mythical creatures.
    And I repeat -
    I support no political party - do you think I should?
    If so, exactly why?

    Thank you Crash - I quite agree - the assertion by Tony was nonsense;
    of course there is a rabid right; and yes in the view of many there is
    a rabid left - but currrently commentators regard the rabid right as >>>being more significant regarding mis - and disinformation, extreme >>>political statements, irrational assertions etc.

    with emotive overtones. Generally I don't respond to your more
    extreme and irrational posts.

    You need treatment.

    For what? Do you not agree that some of the parliamentary protestors
    were extreme?

    I don't know about Tony but the original protesters that marched to
    Parliament were not extreme unless you consider all anti-government
    protestors to be extreme.
    https://www.ipca.govt.nz/Site/parliament-protest/

    They went there to see the Government, to see the PM, or others about the >Government's processes on the Covid response.

    The fact that they got a flat refusal did nothing to help the situation.


    There may have been just 100 protestors the first night but there were
    many more that marched to Parliament that day - indicating that the
    protest was started by many that dispersed peacefully. If the Police
    had taken action on day 2 to end the occupation they mayhem that
    followed would have been averted.

    Had the PM had the responsibility to meet with the protesters it is highly >likely that each side would have made its point and the protesters would
    have gone away. Ceratinly the high ground would have no longer been under >their feet.

    ou may be talking about a different protest. Fairly early on there
    were people holding banners calling for Ardern to be hanged. Both
    Ardern and Luxon acted responsibly in refusing to allow any of their
    MPs to go out among the protestors. Fairly early on there the leader
    of a Nazi party being interviewed. Those nice peaceful protestors
    forced teh clsure of to secondary schools for girls to close . . .



    The actions of those that camped out on the Parliamentary lawn were
    way beyond the right to protest. If there is a next time, the Police
    should enforce the law and evict the protestors.

    The Police, and by inference the government, were made to look
    ineffectual.

    MPs to go out among the protestors. Fairly early on there the leader
    of a Nazi party being interviewed. Those nice peaceful protestors

    The parliament protest did start peacefully with people who genuinely wanted to
    be heard.
    Which protest are you mumbling about?



    The actions of those that camped out on the Parliamentary lawn were

    should enforce the law and evict the protestors.

    The Police, and by inference the government, were made to look
    ineffectual.
