Feeling ashamed now Bill ?
2 days ago, I received a new Notification.
Opening my Reputation inbox there was the message, 'BS is a Douche' plus a neg rep - sent 8 Sept 1.16pm by Bill Smith.
If I receive abuse from someone in the private/non-public spaces on ST, I will always air it in the Public spaces for everyone to see & would encourage others to do the same.
People who direct abuse, threats, bullying at other posters need to be shamed in public.
Bill, you did this in response to a post, with a link to Paddy Gower saying everyone knows Luxon & Willis's figures for funding their tax cuts are nonsense.
Pathetic really.
Blue Skies - just to clarify for future reference. That was a Reputation comment, not a private message. All reputation comments are visible to everyone - under a person's profile, if they have the reputation feature enabled.
So Bill's comment is visible to anyone who views your profile.
Why would I be ashamed? Quite happy to share my opinions publicly if I want.
Well Luxon's interview with Jack Tame was a trainwreck.
Not sure voters care though... gimme the 20 bucks a week.
You seem to be going through a dark period where you are seeking to deny reality.
Quite disgusting how you impugn New Zealand voters with a daft idea that people only vote according to whether they ‘get $20’ or not. (Btw, in many cases it will be significantly more than $20 - and you know it).
I couldn’t give a hoot about a tax cut, personally - whether that be tinkering with tax brackets or wiping GST off fruit & vegetables (you seem to be in denial - again - about Labour offering a tax cut as well). But I suppose voters who are finding it tough to make ends meet will appreciate some extra dosh in their pockets when they figure Robertson will just waste it on phantom cycle bridges, phantom light rail, and very real ‘delivering for maori’ (= ‘directing funds into the hands of maori elites’). But I doubt tax cuts are the main issue for anyone!! They are simply another factor to weigh up when making a decision, and please don’t pretend that Labour aren’t throwing any number of bribes at voters to try to get them to ignore their quite pitiful record!!
Labour were already down in the polls before Nationals tax plan was released. How about you pull your head in and stop it with your boring Lefty cliches about ‘selfish’ middle class voters salivating over ‘$20’. I’ve personally had a gutsful of your myopic focus on ‘tax cuts’ as being a prime reason why people have turned on your hopeless Labour mates. Here’s a number of other much more valid and pressing reasons:
- Labour are absolutely useless.
- Robertson borrows and spends like a drunken sailor and delivers ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
- Labour implemented a secret agenda of ‘co-governance’ and ‘3 (10) Waters’ that NOBODY voted for! They will be punished for that I an sure.
- The country is awash in criminality since Labour began trying to reduce the prison population by 30%. We’ve all had a gutsful of multiple daily ram raids, brutal murders and shootings, gangs taking over towns up and down the country & running amok, rapists and sex criminals being ‘punished’ with home detention (a vacation in front of the telly).
- The threat of absolute RADICALS in the Greens and Te Pati Maori gaining a powerful position in a LABGREETEPATI government and stoking horrible racial division that will up-end society and destroy this country as we know it.
- Labour have no absolute right to hold power in this country. You seem to say that there is no real reason to turn away from Labour. Well they’ve had a 6 year crack at it and done absolutely nothing. If they get turfed out then it is right, fitting, and proper IMO. Chipkins was not some amazingly popular leader loved by all until National suddenly turned the world upside down by offering tax cuts. He was someone parachuted into the role because the previous PM did a runner, he’s never won an election as PM, he’s never had a mandate from the public.
Your whingeing about Nationals tax cuts is boring in the extreme. I’d say they will have very little bearing on this election. The public have every reason to boot Labour out as I’ve stated above, and I personally hope it is a landslide because that is what your outfit deserve - they deserve to get a thrashing!
Luxon is the man to lead a united NZ is he?
People on the right have such confidence in him that his party is in the low 30's.
I'm not entirely supportive of Labour but I'm not buying into an agenda from national which doesn't offer anything different from their previous campaigns. Recycle the same policies and then slap a rich bald man on top to sell it. Pass.
Luxon only has to be better than hipkins, and seeing as my dog is better than hipkins, it follows that National is worth my vote. I can't vote for perfection, so I will vote to get rid of the worst government ever.
I know one thing for certain: I will be voting to stop this dirty rotten Labour lot and their allies the Greens and Te Pati Maori from getting anywhere near the government benches.
I don’t give a hoot about tax cuts.
I don’t give a hoot about ‘a different agenda’.
I would sooner vote for Bill Smith’s dog than be an enabler of a LABGREETEPATI wrecking crew.
Your ravings about a ‘rich bald man’ are just that: ravings. I’m not looking for ‘a different agenda’, and in fact I think many people have had enough of the ‘different agendas’ that Labour have served up & that the Greens and Te Pati Maori are looking to serve up should they get the chance.
