Because of her job my girlfriend has to try and find the positives of TPP, or at least the reasons to sign it, and this is the argument it comes down to a lot. Its not untrue either, if TPP gets signed without NZ then we will feel the impact - things like our kiwifruit export industry would dry up overnight.

Also, by all other accounts, we're the one wrench keeping the whole thing from grinding inexorably forward to a shittier future for everyone.

So who elses facebook has a bunch of people posting a video of a supposed takeover of an office by a maori king land claimant who has hired "UN Contractors"? "I am like Graham McCready[...] but better." Spiteski fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Oct 1, 2015 |

I was surprised and impressed at the snippets of John keys speech i heard at the UN, and that annoyed me. But credit where credits due. But then I realised two things - I am giving him credit for being a normal human being with empathy, and I suspect the solutions he would prefer would be abhorrent to me. Is it still okay to hate the keyster?

Remember when he played off sexually harassing a waitress multiple times as "horsing around" and tried to have his cronies run a smear campaign against her?

He doesn't have to commit to anything and the problem is so "Far" away he can throw stones without being in a glass house. He wanted easy points to score, nothing more.

Good point, and its not like he can enforce his position militarily - we are a paper tiger. It's a licence to say whatever! Does he really give a poo poo?

A paper tiger is something that looks scary but isn't actually and Key trying to sound foreign policyish is embarrassing. "It's time to stop talking and start acting The UN" he slurred naively.

There's a lot of cynical bs in these opinions^ NZ has played a significant role in shaping UN policy before, like the work we did on the cluster munitions agreement, or being the first country to call the racial violence in Rwanda a genocide. Not that JK was involved but you get the point

He is really, really late to the Syrian party. Even Merkel broke on the refugee issue well before we even thought about pussyfooting our half rear end response. The EU who are the ones dealing with this have been doing a lot outside of the UN. Not like he is actually calling for a UN police action, its all talk on stuff people are already doing. The one thing everybody is avoiding is escalation to having people on the ground fighting, hence all the air-strikes.

A lot of people in the know think something will be agreed on in Atlanta over TPP. NZ might get favourable access to dairy in the US and Canada but not Japan.

Guess that means it'll be painted as a great victory by the powerful and handsome negotiator Tim Groser, and PHARMAC losses will be swept under the table

I've been meaning to ask, as not a kiwi: what does John Key's son being a DJ have to do with anything? Is it a joke I'm not getting/don't know any context for?
|
# ? Oct 3, 2015 05:27 |
he literally is, if that's what you're asking. but it's more a comment on how he's become a public figure who e.g. filled every top politics story on the nz herald site when his holiday video got released.

Much like his father, he is a vapid, rancid human being leeching off others to further his own career while having no actual talent!

Yeah Max Key hasn't really done anything other than have a bad prime minister for a father, so you shouldn't really hold any more disdain for him than you would for any other King's College alumnus. So a pretty high level is still fine.

He takes the name of trotsky in vain while playing $1000 a head dinners for the awful children of the nouveau riche. When the glorious socialist revolution comes he will rightfully be first against the glorious socialist wall.
