Isn't it ironic when you've just posted a #RNZ story about #NZFirst wanting to open up #Aotearoa #NewZealand conservation land to allow the US industrial military complex access and permission to mine for rare earth minerals needed for weapons and ammunition of war, when a video about US smuggling rare earth minerals out of #China appears in your YouTube feed.
And this corrupt #NZPol govt expects NZers to trust these war criminals?
Also, is it just me, or has Shame Jones started looking like one of the skeksis from The Dark Crystal?

I wonder where his gentle mystic half is hiding out, maybe Golden Bay or Coromandel? Maybe there's a Motherstone we could find and return the missing half of, so we can save old Otis Claw from this half-man state of being?
"We can't afford to build a port for the cook straight ferry, but we can build one for the #NaturalGas no one wants to use" is a wild stance for a govt. that claims to accept the reality of #ClimateChange
Once again we see #National using a party with only 6% support (#NZFirst) to justify screwing over 100% of us

"Now what happens to Winston Peters doesn't matter. But what happens to the people does."

It's hard to believe now given the smiling crocodile he's become. Political principles up for auction, doing whatever is best for Winston Peters and bugger anyone else. I think at the time he really meant this.
His corruption is perhaps the saddest political story of NZ corporatism.
Another one from the 'oooh, that didn't age well' files;
"This year we are fortunate that New Zealand First will be the strongest has ever been and that will present a chance to change the system away from pure neo-liberal ideals which have let us down and collapsed most of provincial New Zealand."

Sitä huomaa, ettei #UusiSeelanti enää ole Jacinda Ardernin ja Työväenpuolueen johtama, vaan oikeiston ja äärioikeiston (kuten huomaa ettei Suomikaan enää Marinin ja täkäläisen sisarpuolueen.).
Uusi-Seelanti ilmoitti, ettei tunnusta Palestiinan valtiota. Ilmoituksen teki ulkoministeri #WinstonPeters, äärioikeistopuolue #NZfirst.

Not forgetting why Stuart Nash was sacked from Labour's cabinet.
Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier found that Nash had breached Official Information Act by improperly withholding emails in which he "discussed confidential Cabinet briefings with two donors"... no wonder he has a found a home in #NZFirst #Corruption #NZPol
