“And I’d do it again”. Incorrigible. #nzpets

A petite black cat, with a fetching white chest patch, bright golden eyes and impressively cobby build (she’s half British Blue, and half opportunistic tabby scoundrel, hence a bargain and a rogue) caught mid-way through sharpening her lethal claws on a favourite midcentury armchair, the little beast. Her ears are back and she has an unblinking stare: an absolutely impenitent recidivist, already plotting her next attack on the furniture, even though there are perfectly good and heavily used scratching trees right outside. Those are different, apparently.

Apparently good economic management involves increasing unemployment until one in six young people are out of work, poor, and increasingly disenfranchised. Is this 'building the future'? Would 'fixing the basics' not involve fixing this disaster?

#nzpol The fact that the current coalition deliberately undermined initiatives to reduce our vulnerability to shocks like this ought to be a far bigger deal than it is.

Campaign launches.

National Party campaign launch. Crowd clumped in the middle of a large auditorium. Masses of empty seats.

Labour Party campaign launch. Medium sized auditorium, every single seat taken.

The worst thing about this local govt amalgamation "pause" is how few local body politicians had the guts to stand up to central govt bullying and being used as yet another distraction from the massive incompetence of the Coalition.

All of the three parties in the coalition have indulged in providing a streamlined gateway for anti-evidence groups to get their fringe ideas written into policy. The most anti science, anti research, anti expertise government we’ve had in living memory. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...
