Because as soon as one influential investor asks "what are we doing exactly?" the whole bubble pops. Therefore, asking this question must never be allowed.

In this conceptual framework, line can only go up, and will go up forever.

🚨 Voices for Freedom and Local Elections 🚨

Last local elections VFF encouraged people to run for local council. Their plan was semi-successful, electing dozens of councillors and board members. This time around, they're far more organised. Read: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Worth expressly noting that the ONLY reason given in Peters' speech for why AoNZ should recognise Israel and not Palestine as a state is that Palestine "does not control its own territory". So, we reward Israel for its illegal actions + will keep doing so until it chooses to stop.

Palestine is not Hamas any more than Ireland is the IRA or Aotearoa is ACT

We can never, ever, ever claim moral high ground as a State ever again. This is a stain that we will never be able to remove. I don't actually know if I believe in a soul, but if our country has one, it has been irreparably damaged.

The shame of it. We are not just late, we aren't arriving at all.
