Vote for National to lower your wages people.

The Standard points out National’s record on wages (via No Right Turn).
It appears the New Zealand Police are soft on serious crime. The U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, travels to New Zealand this weekend and I’m ashamed to say she’s able to without a promise from the NZ Police that she will be arrested and charged with war crimes, including torture and the “supreme international crime,” initiating a war of aggression.
While a $5000 bounty for the citizen’s arrest of Rice might be viewed as a stunt, what other option do decent citizens have when a bunch of submissive softies run your police force; happy not only to show how weak they are by tolerating such a visit but by actually protecting her?
A formal complaint has now been lodged, so it will be interesting if the NZ Police can demonstrate any knowledge of justice. The least they could do is follow the UK’s lead and pretend they have the balls to enforce the law and then botch it up! Somehow, however, I don’t think even that will happen.
People like Condoleezza Rice may be safe in their own country, with such a compliant population, but they should not be allowed to travel to others without fear of being brought to justice.
To draft and support loathsome law like this surely you have to be either extremely ignorant of history or have sympathies for fascism.
Some politicians clearly have no qualms showing off how spineless they are by using fear to trade our freedoms and make it look like they’re actually doing something.
No Right Turn on the Immigration Bill, currently making it’s way through NZ parliament:
This bill has to be defeated. You can start by signing the petition here.

Today I watched a bus driver in London half pull up to a bus stop and then pull away before stopping when he saw the only person waving him down. She happened to be a little old lady with dark skin and a head scarf. There were murmurs of distaste from the two people standing nearby her but she dismissed the problem with a wave of her hand and walked off.
There seems to have been a noticeable uptick in this sort of thing over the past few months.
