  David Seymour 'doesn't believe' Luxons comments
Posted by: Lilith7 - 08-02-2024, 10:17 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (11)

How odd - a politician not believing a fellow politician!  Rolleyes Big Grin


And seriously - 'All politicians are mindful of what the public wants??!'

Only if it suits them, though.



https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/...-bill.html


"ACT leader David Seymour is refusing to back down on his controversial Treaty Principles Bill, saying he believes the Prime Minister's opinion can be changed.   

Seymour believes Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was "nervous" after Waitangi and could still back his Treaty Principles Bill despite ruling out doing so.   
But questions remain about why the Bill is even getting to the Select Committee stage if National won't support it beyond its first reading.   
Luxon doubled down on his party's stance of not supporting ACT's proposal beyond first reading on Wednesday. New Zealand First is also in National's corner.  
The Prime Minister also said National wouldn't support the Bill beyond the first reading even if there is a massive groundswell of support for it.   


But Seymour is undeterred by Luxon's comments and came out with fighting words when he joined AM on Thursday morning.   
"I mean, last week, he wouldn't rule out supporting it further, yesterday he would. I think perhaps he got a bit nervous after Waitangi," he told AM co-host Lloyd Burr.   
But there was one part of Luxon's comments that Seymour said he didn't believe.   
"But ultimately the bit I don't believe is he won't change his mind if the public really wants it," he said.   
"All politicians are very mindful of what the public wants, and I've seen polls published in the Herald that said that 60 percent of New Zealanders agree with what we're saying on the Treaty, 18 percent disagree, they want this debate. "

  Winston booed at Waitangi
Posted by: Lilith7 - 05-02-2024, 02:59 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (11)

It was never going to go down well.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/3501677...ty-grounds


"Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand Winston Peters has been met with boos from the crowd after telling them to "stop the crap".

"You tell me whoever said we're getting rid of the Treaty of Waitangi? Stop the crap," Peters said.

While Peters is being booed, he mentioned Dame Whina Cooper asking the crowd "when she was marching, where were you?" 

"If you think separatism and division is going to take us to 2040, you're dreaming. Let me tell you sunshine, I used to go to a marae where they had tikanga and respect and not you shouting. Get some manners."

The crowd has told Peters to "e noho" (sit down) after he remarked "get an education!" 





Luxon

"When asked why his speech did not focus enough on the treaty, Luxon said the speech was designed to talk about the vision for New Zealand by 2040 and what needs to happen to achieve the vision or start the vision by next term. 

"We should be very proud of the treaty as part of our past, present and future. It's something we're going to continue to work at." 








Speaking to media, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said the Government is not supporting the treaty principles bill beyond the first reading. 

"There is no support, no commitment, no intention to take it beyond that. . . It's been the long-standing commitment of The National Party not to pursue a referdum at all. I appreciate its a different position from the ACT Party and part of that is as a condition of the coalition government, that's what we've agreed to do."




Seymour


"Crowd try to sing down Seymour 



Seymour is refusing to end his speech as a number of the crowd sing ÔÇ£whakarongo e nohoÔÇØ.



This has been going on for some time. 



ÔÇ£You can sing and you can sing and yet you are not going to end an idea by singing anymore than you will with a gun,ÔÇØ he said.

  I think the US of A
Posted by: allblack - 04-02-2024, 11:57 AM - Forum: PC World Chat - Replies (6)

needs to unload on Iran, blow the shit out of them and that will solve a few Middle East headaches. And while they're bombing Iran the 101st Airborne can jump into Yemen and take out the Houthi's. Should be over by lunchtime.

Yeah there'll be a tussle, some US soldiers will die, but that's what they signed up to do.

That will also shut North Korea up, and then the US can go back to propping up NATO who are doing nothing in Europe.

MAGA

..oh yeah, that border. C'mon guys, Abott can't do it all himself. Roll on November.

  Bryan Bruce on David Seymour & the treaty
Posted by: Lilith7 - 04-02-2024, 09:55 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (12)

I suspect he's hit the nail on the head & greed is at the core of this.


https://www.facebook.com/www.redsky.tv

"Waitangi day ought to be the day we celebrate the signing of the founding document of our nation. Some years it is a moment to pause to remember the things that unite us as a nation. But some years it emphasizes the things that divide us and this, sadly, is one of those years.

I took the time this morning to read David SeymourÔÇÖs State of the Nation address in which he refers to why he is promoting his Treaty Principles Bill.
Broadly argues the idea of two peoples in partnership tangata whenua (land people) and tangata tiriti (Treaty people) ..
ÔÇ£ÔǪis incompatible with the fundamental democratic value that all citizens are equal under the law.ÔÇØ And that ..`ÔÇØ This divisive idea has been fuelled by unelected bureaucrats and judges promoting a ÔÇÿpartnershipÔÇÖ interpretation of our founding document.ÔÇØ
Well, just taking that last sentence first , he conveniently forgets that it was an elected Parliament that set up the Waitangi Tribunal in 1975 as a response to growing protest over the current and historical treatment of M─üori in society.
M─üori were NOT being treated as equal under the law thatÔÇÖs why for example there was a huge land march to Parliament calling a halt to sales of remaining M─üori land.
Secondly Seymour needs to explain how the idea of partnership is incompatible with democracy when he himself is in political partnership with two other leaders to form the current government.
What then is SeymourÔÇÖs motive in promoting his bill?

Is it purely philosophical as he would have us believe?
Or should we read his desire to re-evaluate the Treaty in the context of his other policies stated in his address that business is a force for good  and there should be less government in our lives.
So is his desire for us to debate the Treaty because it is a problem for the greedy?
For one thing it gets in the way of selling the rest of our country to overseas interests - a process that has been slowly eroding our national sovereignty since the introduction of neoliberal economics in 1984 an economic theory that spawned the politics of selfishness.
So, nothing wrong with partnership and democracy Mr Seymour which you know that from your own experience.
And debate of this significance ought to to arise from facts not falsehoods such as the partnership idea "being promoted by unelected officials" when it was an elected parliament that recognised the unequal treatment and grievances of Maori in establishing the Waitangi Tribunal."

Question Ergonomic Chair
Posted by: GameJunkie - 04-02-2024, 08:45 AM - Forum: PressF1 - No Replies

Hi,

I'm looking at replacing my office chair as it is almost at the point of falling apart, and given that i WFH several days a week, having something comfortable is important.

What suggestions do people have or what do you use yourself?

Budget not really an issue unless the options really get up there.

Thanks.
