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.

You don't need to know. Scrub it from your brain, you'll feel better and have more room for the important stuff 😎

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…

Well thought out but optimistic in my opinion.

Think back to 1984 when The New Zealand Party made it's electoral debut solely to eliminate Muldoon from power. Now you may ask is Sir Bob one of the oligarchs? He may well be and his actions removed someone opposed to international interference and against the free market that has enabled many of the Blackrocks to thrive throughout the world.

For sure some of the aspects of the "free market" have been beneficial to us all but the vast majority of those "benefits" have not been to our advantage at all so would we be better of with Muldoonism or the current situation?

The New Zealand Party was essentially a one man…

Stuff that. If I had children I'd send them overseas for their Uni education.

I think you may be right. The advancement of genetic assessment could mean that proactive treatments will become the norm, budgets permitting. The downside is that insurers and employers will start utilising that information and not always to our advantage.

Hi Lindsay. I did toy with changing my email preferences. However as the email "likes" are the only way to ascertain whether bona fide people agree with my comments. I left the setting in place. As my intentions were only to maintain the integrity of the site, I raised the issue of disruptive commenters gaining access to your site. Apparently, some commenters are reading my motives wrongly. Sorry if that's the case.
