From davflaws - the poster who supports the contention and believes that a person in NZ is bereft of culture unless he is a Maori or embraces Maori culture.

Look, there are clearly lots of good reasons to change this government (like xenophobia, racism, ineptness to do what they promised and as well ideological blindness), but inciting McCarthy's communist hate (who made lots of false or unfounded accusations related to communism) against social democrat's is ridiculous. Nutty posts like that are actually damaging your cause. I guess who really wants to vote for people spreading this nonsense?
Do you believe the stuff you just posted? Really?
While there are many good reasons not to vote for Labour, posts like this give people as well many good reasons not to vote for the opposition (if they fall for this nonsense). I for myself would not want to support a government which is dependant on people with such nutty believes.
Do your research - the Labour party is not more communist that National is fascist.
Not so, as I have repeatedly pointed out. But instead of an ad hominem attack based on your self serving fantasies about my position, perhaps you could address my argument and defend unregulated capitalism?
But probably not - because whenever you are stumped in argument, you resort to personal abuse.
Changing your tune?
Did you or did you not support the executive at Maori TV who wrote an opinion piece that NZ is bereft of culture but for the Maori culture?
Yes or no?
Same sort of BS you use to assert that those who oppose Ardern’s addiction to tax & spending are somehow anti-social and anti-community spirited.
Have just read the agm speeches and presentation.
All read well.
Pleased I have recently added to our HGH holdings.

“unearned” income is already taxed. Investment income if derived from savings from taxed income, is in effect double taxed when subsequently received*. At least.the PM ruled out a third super-tax on bank profits! If there were no investment income, then there would be no business to support employees.
She needs to specify or codify what comprises the “social licence” and who is subject to it. If government policy creates windfall gains for certain groups of people, owners, investors or companies, she needs to explain what windfall gains are and on whom the onus for following said “social licence” lies. It should be explicit so that it can be incorporated into decision-making and operations.
* In fact there is a triple tax levied if that investment income is then subsequently spent on goods and services. The loop of taxes can continue until net income is eventually spent.
For example a TP with income subject to 39% tax, saves the net amount and invests in a TD. The “Unearned” income from that is again subject to 39% tax. From that taxed income the TP buys services subject to 15% gst. That is a lot of tax the TP has generated for Government social policy goals, even without taking into account the business that was supported via the Bank that held the TP’s (“unearned”) term deposit.
I do think your last line is a little wrong. There is nothing fascist about the nats but there are a few very communist aspects of labor. Adherence to doctrine over the will of the people i.e 3 waters, health reforms and the merger of broadcasting, the latter being the most concerning. 600 ml just to get more docos and state interference. Which instead could put every kid living in a car into a home.
If labor were their own opposition they would be planning a coup right now.
UBS: global economy stalling under weight of central bank tightening.
After HGH finish conquering Aus they should get into investment banking and become a big global bank.
Then they can make headlines on CNBC
Well, your last line is obviously outrageous non-sense - and it feels uncomfortable as well as pointless to discuss with people making such nutty statements. Take a deep breath, and if you are able to understand what's wrong with this sentence, than continue ...
And while you are right that the Nats are not fascist, I think they might be closer to fascism than Labour is to any undemocratic from of communism. Don't forget, some National politicians supporting Donald Trump who is supported as well by openly fascist groups - i.e. it would not be hard to construe a common interest. Don't forget either that Donald did plan a coup to steal the election. He is clearly not a democrat. Bad man and some Nats are clearly too close to him. Even the beloved John Key said he would have voted for this crook. Bad judgement and politically questionable.
On the other hand ... there is nothing communist about Labour. Sure - some of their members might have been at some stage members in democratic communist youth organisations. So what? However - they never supported communist dictators, didn't they?
I agree though that some of Labours recent policies are clearly racist ... this is not good, however - while racism is clearly undesirable, it has nothing to do with communism.
I think you just need to educate yourself on communism, before you call anything you don't like "communist".
