Until there was a discussion on Big Hairy News tonight, I'd never heard of "The Working Group" -- a 3 year podcast collaboration twixt Bomber Bradbury & Damien Grant.
Not two natural bedfellows.
Apparently Grant wanted to influence Bradbury's posts criticising Israel on other media, then threw his toys out of the cot. So the podcast has just died.
I have no time for either of them, but anything which makes Grant look like a fool is O'K with me.
Here's Rimmer - architect of the Treaty Violation Bill and target of the largest protest gathering in our country's recorded history - complaining about Te Pāti Māori violating the "tikanga" of Parliament. Starting at about 11:00;

He's either playing 4 dimensional chess with tongue in cheek, or more likely, he's just an oblivious clownshow.

Our Prime Minister, Mr Potato Head, is a classic example of hilariocracy. I don't know if he realises what a clown show he's putting on. But I suspect his party chose him precisely because he's such a clown.
As #SimonWilson of the Herald put it
"The value of what looks like ineptness is that is actually stops debate. He doesn't say anything sensible and therefore you don't have a debate about the ideas."

"What does partnership look like? If David Seymour is wrong and if you're right and the Treaty is a partnership... how does that functionally work? How do we govern a sovereign country if Treaty is a partnership?"

Finally, ACT supporters are starting to ask the right questions. Obviously there are many possible answers and exploring them is where we need to focus the debate.

"I disagree with the idea of a treaty."

Oops! Yet another over-excited propertarian saying the quiet part out loud. This is perhaps the most honest statement I've ever heard from an ACT supporter talking about Te Tiriti o Waitangi ; )

"[PM Christopher Luxon] cannot have this both ways. He cannot be the person who wants to lead as a statesman in this country, and at the same time, indulge the racism."

As long as there's a staged process, any outcome is justified, no matter how horrific. Is that what you're saying?
How many ignorant, sociopathic public comments do you have to make before somebody takes away your microphone? Then buries you up to your neck in sand, next to an anthill, with jam all over your face.

I'm starting to think we need to recruit Damien Grant as a candidate for the No Idea party.
He proposes replacing ACC with a system where individual workers sue bosses who maim or kill them. Creating whole new profits sources for insurance corporations and industrial law firms. While protecting the sacred right of employers to maim and kill their workers without any risk of criminal penalties.
Pure No Idea policy.

I never cease to be grudgingly impressed by the intellectual contortions Damien Grant manages to pull off - without pulling a muscle - in pursuit of a keeping his tongue firmly glued to David Seymour's figurative nether regions.
