FIX AUCKLAND PLEASE - YES WE CAN

Posted 29th July 2016 to the Otago Daily Times newspaper Dunedin NZ

 Not a day goes past without Auckland dominating the Nations news with it housing crisis.

Every day it is harder not to see Auckland as a city of dystopia sucking the life blood out of the rest of the country,
one hope is for Helen Clark to instigate a new united nations of the world that is human & nature based seeing as
19th century nation states and medieval institutions are fading into oblivion with the globalization movement onset.

Cities even now are joining together as central governments weaken.
Cities, it is believed will once again become like little states and will have to buddy up with each other and those built on pondzi foundations
will fail.

Also it seems a world government is badly needed to save the planet. Whether the UN, USA or the cities of the old British Commonwealth could
pull that off depends on if there are enough adults left to run it and if anyone will vote for them.

However right now capital gains and transaction taxes would be a smart move forward to prepare us whatever happens next .  

 

Chinese House Buyer Debate NZ of 2015

Posted 15th July 2015 to the Dominion Post Newspaper Wellington NZ

 On the Labour Party revisiting China-phobia in Auckland.

I Recall before Roger Douglas New Zealand was pretty proud of it’s self and what it stood for. They use to be VERY certain that this Country  should not be Swamped by any large numbers of any nationality outside our Anglo Imperial Cousins who built this Nation in the First Place..  If  People wanted to live here or buy any property they HAD to fit in the Kiwi Culture or at least pay homage to it.

Since Masters Prebble and Douglas unleashed to Dogs of Capitalism and the disembodied Hand of the Free Market on this country, it appears that the spirit of Godzone NZ has vanished and replaced by a Vortex.

It’s Hard to nail down what The Average Kiwi thinks about Homesoil and Patriotism today.  It’s just a free-for-all anything goes country now Held together by Sports, Scenery and tattered Flagging scraps of History.

Everything is for sale now and nobody can dare stop it!  Roger Douglas should have pointed out this before he was voted into power in the 1980s  Everyone HAS got to adapt or Perish.

If Mr. Andrew Little can turn that around he will simply need to be a Miracle Worker or a Super-Pope!

Responsibilities of the New Zealand State

Posted 9th April 2015 to the Dominion Post Newspaper Wellington NZ

 Listening to how our Government has handled the Home Care Contract situation one feels like reminding the Government that
Their primary purpose is to look after all it’s citizens, that is the social contract MPs are signing up to when they become representatives.

As we speak, New Zealanders who have been good honest hard working people are being displaced from housing because they are physically unable to
work hard enough to compete with overseas investors and the children of the wealthy. Now If they have to care for a Mentally or Physically damaged Family member or loved one this could make life totally intolerable!

Might I suggest that if we can not fix our economic system we can at least build care facilities for our Fine Citizens who have never done crime or held any malice
so they do not become displaced because of bad luck and avoid letting them becoming prey to the people we lock up in jails at great expense.

The best way of doing this?? I suggest traditional Villages with subsidized small Cottages with Communal Gardens and Workshops where Skills and Care can be shared. (with the Elderly as well.)

I gather the old State Mental Hospitals where going in that direction before they where scrapped by the free-marketeers.
But in 2015 any intellectual will tell you the free market is ultimately degrading humanity. Totally.
