New Zealander, educator, reader, sailor, gardener, definitely not a NACT voter. Enjoy chardonnay, but hope that I am more than a chardonnay socialist. 'alisona' in that other place.

The goal isn't to get people into work -
if sanctions actually lowered unemployment that would be a disaster.
The point is to keep unemployed people applying for jobs so that the competition keeps low wages low. (That was the point of Reserve Bank engineering higher unemployment, after all.)

Multiple times in the election they fronted their cruelty, ignorance and barely suppressed violence and hatred towards anyone different from their mirror.
And a majority voted for them, some by casting a vote, some by choosing not to vote

Drive north on SH10, take the coastal road via Matauri Bay, Te Ngaere Bay, to Whangaroa. Stunning scenery. Then head to the Mangonui Fish Shop for lunch, over to Cable Bay for an ice-cream. Check out Taipa, then back to Kerikeri on SH10.
Spend a day visiting Waitangi and another day in Russell.

Watch Nancy Maclean from Duke University talk about how Charles Koch (part of the Atlas Network) has used James Buchanan's (who advised Pinochet) ideas to create the libertarian world most of us absolutely do not want. ACT uses these ideas.
