Why is it the wrong thread? It is just another thing for the coalition to fix.

Mind you, Bob Carr has criticised that Winston Peters was trying to roll back NZ’s nuclear free policy. Why did he get himself involved in NZ politics?
Former Oz Labor PM Keating has criticised Aukus too. He has a good relationship with China and criticises Oz media coverage of China. https://www.theguardian.com/australi...ang-yi-meeting
Let’s not forget that our own former National Party PM Sir John Key wants a conciliatory approach to China.

So it's OK for Australia's billionaires, Gina Rhinehart etc to have a good relationship with the Chinese but not politicians?
Shouldn't you have good relationships with your biggest trading partner?
That doesn't mean you have to cosy up to them & not speak diplomatically about what you disagree with.
Morrison's Government has cost the Australian economy $100s of billions and over time it could be more as China divest itself off its dependence on Australian minerals.
The US are in a difficult position. There status as the premier world power is under threat, as not only China's influence increases but so to will Russian backed India.
AUKUS one is about nuclear submarines, again Carr was asked his opinion & he gave it, he's not representing Australia & he has prior knowledge of the matter.
That's no reason for Peter's to lose the plot.
Another mess for the new government to clean up - Oranga Tamariki.
Staff numbers increased from 3370 in 2017 to 4651 last year - 38% more staff and what did they achieve?
Fxxk all is the answer as the following example illustrates :

Hundreds of Auckland young offenders escaping custody — and the document Oranga Tamariki didn’t want you to see
Some great news!
Best money ever to be spent on education - so little to be spent with the potential to achieve so much.
Can never understand myself why schools in NZ moved away from teaching reading using phonics - we actually sent our kids to phonic classes at our own expense and what a huge positive difference it made to their reading habits and academic achievements vs their peers.
Yet another example of kids becoming social and educational experiments by the Ministry of Education - to their detriment.
$67m to introduce and roll out Structured Literacy in all NZ schools.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/educat...O23TXWXCVFRZQ/
"The project has a $67 million price tag, which will pay for books and resources for teachers, support development for teachers and the introduction of phonics as well as additional support for students that require it.
She told The Front Page that in the past 20 or 30 years, we had seen literacy rates dropping and that could be traced back to the fact we had been teaching kids the habits of poor readers."
OK I'll be good and do as you say. 🙄
Rather than respect what a thread is about.
Just litter it with any old thing.
Buddy NZ has a history of swinging back & fourth. The Nats were in complete disarray for a number of years after they lost power.
It will be good for all of us to have a strong opposition, whether they secure power or not.
National also need the support of two minor parties.
The bigger question is can the menage a trios last?
Oh Balance, always thinking you have more influence than you do, like some big swinging dick. 🤣
Buddy you couldn't influence yourself out of ur own lunchbox.
What I find very interesting, is very few of the Rightcysts on here want to have an honest conversation or actually here both sides. Many want only to have a right-wing media. They want an echo chamber of their right-wing ideology.
Pretty similar to how the Nazis party started out.
Threatening or insulting anyone that thought differently to them.
There's only one way, our way and all that BS.
It's actually a very dangerous ideology and should be stomped out and called out for what it is.
