Post by GordonSpeech to Northern Beaches Liberal Party from Matt Barrie.
This is worth 60 mins of your time reading this.
This is the next battle/war which is underway now that Covid is off the MSM
pages.
Keep these ideas in mind as you read the MSM news/propoganda, or even the
ideas in this newsgroup from our reporter Rich.
Presumably this is the speech you refer to - to assist Tony find it
here is one link:
He starts off with an attack on making energy too expensive - that
certainly applies to New Zealand, where we should have world-leading
low prices for electricity; instead we are handing out excessive
profits to wealthy shareholders in New Zealand and overseas.
Then he attacks the policies that have made housing expensive - again
a direct parallel to the Right in New Zealand - notice how they stop
government building social housing as soon as they can after being
elected ...
Then the struggle to pay for a house - young people need a lifetime to
afford a deposit - and then in New Zealand we have made retirement
harder by low contributions for Kiwisaver retirement provision, and
encourage that to be further depleted by housing costs. Instead of
fixing the problem, National has made it worse by giving landlords
favourable tax treatment . . .
Then flooding the country with migrants to keep the minimum wage down
- and on the way cutting young New Zealanders out of jobs.
But the twist through it all is the fostering of division - here in
New Zealand that is being pushed by ACT through the pretence of
supporting Free Speech the more hateful the more they will support a
tourist spreading poison - that is the Trump tactic - make everyone
upset and blame.
The criticism of favouring the rich at the expense of the majority is
as real in New Zealand as it is in Australia
Barrie is probably as popular with the Liberal Party in Aussie as Jim
Bolger would be here - they don't want his identification of running
the country for the benefit of the wealthy . . .
So how does that stack up with what you heard, Gordon?
