I would like to see the coalition government apply a targeted financial squeeze on the University of Auckland, aimed at getting rid of or reducing the influence of their academic He Puapua activists. This evil cabal may be tenured. Buy them out. Expensive, but part of the price to preserve NZ democracy. It would be good to also deter other NZ universities.
There appear to be many radio stations peddling separatist and dogmatic propaganda. If they are government-funded, squeeze them out too.
Labour set the precedent of financially bailing out media if they promoted government policy. Our present government could do something similar. If they had the guts to do so. That may be too big an ask, though.
I'm 80+ and wondered who the hell Taylor Swift was/is. ... he/she/it .... [must not forget the pronouns...] Done a search. AUT..... is stupidly running a communications course on a twentysomething pop music dolly-bird. Dear God..... the World Is Mad... BUT..... Remember our dearly beloved previous PM did a degree in "Communications" 🙄😴😥
I tend to respect most other people and also their ancestors.
We should not judge people of the past by the standards of the present they knew nothing about. Many beliefs and behaviors that we regard as unusual, cruel and wrong were accepted as normal by our ancestors. Much of what we regard as normal was abnormal in the past. It is likely that some of our current beliefs and behaviors will be regarded as wrong by future generations. Time passes and things change but we only live in the present. We can evaluate things of the past or speculate about the future but we can cannot change them. Changes tend to occur by revolution or evolution. In revolutions we dispose of current systems and structures…
Stuff that. If I had children I'd send them overseas for their Uni education.
Just a thought. About difficulties experienced by some to comment. I think fixing any fault/bug whatever is in the too hard bin. Important posts by the founders of BBH and other important influencers are still posted with no apparent problem. Comments appear to not matter. Just like feedback about poor service at supermarkets and big box stores. No comment or response. A black hole. Apathy.
