Haven't read the book, but it's always been fairly obvious to me that the cost of maintaining such a long logistics tail was largely what drove the ToW and probably why today we still have Maori tribes like a massive greenstone weight around the nation's neck.
This is the person doing her level best to facilitate the possible dysfunctional & dystopian future as depicted in Tremains cartoon. It ain’t no laughing matter. No siree.
Take a close look. If you want to see a despicable, lying, deranged, face-contorting (caused by the lying) fudging, bull-shitting, appalling excuse for a ‘leader’ of a supposedly great country, then watch this.
More than once.
More than twice.
More than thrice.
Watch it enough times until it makes your skin crawl……..
Barry, the best in the game, has been covering politics since ardern was in nappies & yet she treated him like he was a 10 year old - all because he had her cornered, was all over her like…
The satirical comments I posted again has been removed by BB&H without explanation as was Aron's posted comment. These messages/comments do help get the message across, even if they are blunt. NEW ZEALANDERS need to be shaken out of their morbid complacency
Raleigh I suspect your mocking (satirical) comments would have found an appreciative audience.
Images from memory capture the moment off the coast of South Africa when great white sharks engaged in a feeding frenzy after someone threw a dog into the ocean. It was a show put on for the tourists.
I posted a satirical but blunt message on this blog site and it has been taken down with no explanation. Shame on BB& Hide. There were no profanities in the blog but the satire was brutally true and against the maori tribal mongrels. NEW ZEALANDERS don't need more or this pandering shit and I am surprised BB&H have become a Kangaroo court deciding which comments it will allow and which it wont. Maybe BB&H are afraid of Strumpy Cindy, Silly Wee Willie, Hooter Mahuta and Dead Wood Davis. From this experience I have become disillusioned with BB&H
The only point I would like to see clarified by someone was your comment "most of us pay tax" which is true, but can anyone confirm a comment that the majority of the Tribes are set up as Charity's and as such pay NO TAX, or VERY LITTLE.
If this is true, then the 15% do not contribute much to New Zealand, and depending on your Mathematics it may be they take way more from NZ than they ever put in, and it seems their Greed and Avarice has NO END TO IT.
