Specifically the kind brought on by schizophrenia. Half formed sentences full of minutiae that never quite coalesce into a comprehensible plot and only superficially relate to their neighbours.

quote:post 22 April 2016 should no response have been received confirming a suitably qualified party acceptable to all will be supplied the required authorities to allow with urgency the ANZ 19 Bank to be formerly questioned (47 questions in total), action will be taken against the New Zealand Police. The assets have been identified where no personal harm to any party will occur. Those substantial assets will be destroyed. Prime Minister the Attorney- General Chris Finlayson can ask High Court Judge Susan Thomas how the inevitable fallout will be managed she will be able to inform him. No New Zealander should be required to put their life on the line to have the law applied but it was anticipated. At this point parties reading this letter should refer (121). Should it be required the ultimate sacrifice will be made. literally threatening to blow up police buildings

Its a two anniversary of my brain not being broke after many days awake and finally getting some meds to sleep and keep an even keel to try and live a good life. I can only nod to you, unfortunately obviously mentally ill man with menacing apparent farm-bombtruck, and hope you don't do anything dumb and get some help.

There's apparently an extra $12 million in this budget for mental health services. I have no idea how that compares to the current funding, but the display outside of parliament at the time is pretty damning.

Any word on how that interacts with the Christchurch Earthquake-related mental health funding, which I think was an emergency temporary increase and has now ceased? Might not actually be a net gain as compared to last years level.

This reckons we spent 1.2b on mental health in 15/16 - http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/80271024/budget-2016-the-pressure-points--mental-health-in-new-zealand - so it's a rounding error. And the Canterbury emergency boost was 20m, and this is National so the additional 12m in the Budget will include that.

I really renounce most of my past serious or ironic forms of support for Winston but the one thing I have to say is that despite years of aggravating statements on immigration for example, he has never actually seriously introduced legislation or pushed hard on policy that has had any serious detrimental effect on peoples rights, or would appear to have any actual chance at passing. He really is just a living totem of rural and regional resistance from Rogernomics reforms, neoliberalism and of economic 'experts' and wonks. And stirring is how that is represented in New Zealand. Thats not to say his terrible idea proposals werent just stopped by opposition to it, but he is simply not on the "same continent" as folks trying to bring in voter suppression laws, ban abortions, not allow 'unidentified migrants' to even get drivers licenses and so on as compared to the USA, at least.

You mean apart from opposing same-sex marriage, civil unions, the bill of rights act, prostitution law reform, the anti smacking bill and homosexual law reform?

Interesting that he opposed sex work reform, considering he's allegedly been a regular at a Wellington agency for a while. Although I guess male politicians advocating for policies that harm sex workers while using their services isn't exactly unheard of.

He is awful for those exact positions yes but still in the 'for what its worth' category his opposition has been shallow and reactionary typical of old New Zealanders. I note his opposition has also ultimately been quite ineffectual. Just for one example- for all of NZFs bluster about immigration- it was National who introduced actual pre emptive legislation for the unprecedented event of a large scale "boat people" arrival event in NZ so we could basically follow Australias lead. NZF have not actually been instrumental in a single actual policy as stigmatizing and unneccesarily real as that. Again- Im just saying there is a real disconnect between inflammatory comments and floated policy ideas and practical consequences here. I need to read up on the exact opposition to the BORA tho wasnt familiar with that.

While his party may have not been able to pass legislation in those areas his rhetoric is still influencing the debate and leading to National and Labour executing policies which are worse than they need to be. He also gives a sense of legitimacy to some fairly toxic views meaning making progress in the future will remain difficult.

NZF is definitely in the mould of UKIP, Trump etc. but its support ranges from fairly leftwing anti 'identity politics' types to libertarian nazi fanbois. There's a lot more support coming from ethnic (i.e. Māori & Pasifika) communities than for comparable parties overseas, which I imagine tempers some of the overt racism. They support some decent stuff but when it comes down to it their politics are firmly rooted in 70s conservatism.WarpedNaba posted:Don't forget the time he railed against video games to court the Grey Vote.

New Zealand First: racists have got to vote for someone. New Zealand First: at least were not nazis. With the numbers they're getting at the moment I actually don't think it's just fringe racists that are leaning NZF. Kinda like how a broken clock is still right twice a day, some of their positions (like on foreign ownership of land, TPPA, etc) have more broad appeal.
