As well as the Jacinda/Chipkins government, who else have they sold coverage to? The big iwi? We’ve known for over three years that TV1, Newshub, Stuff and several other media outlets have been presstitutes for this government, but this disturbing revelation has not been known till now.

The demand for lithium minerals has increased considerably in recent years due to the application of lithium compounds in lithium ion battery technology, portable electronic gadgets and power storage systems. Spodumene is the main lithium bearing mineral which is currently being explored and processed due to its high lithium content and the extensive occurrence of deposits.

Many people have got fed up with this taxpayer-funded operation aimed at defaming the critics of this awful government.

Most of what you see was destroyed over 8/9 August 2023.

Rocker Alice Cooper described “gender-affirming” medical procedures for children as a “fad” in an interview with Stereogum magazine on Wednesday, drawing criticism from Billboard and other establishment outlets. 

Alice Cooper, whose on-stage look features theatrical costumes, long hair and plenty of eyeliner, acknowledged that “there are cases of transgender,” but argued it was “also a fad,” with “a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that.”  He criticized adults who he said are planting the idea in children’s heads and confusing them at a vulnerable time, explaining: “You’re still trying to find your identity, and yet here’s this thing going on, saying, ‘Yeah, but you can be anything you want. You can be a cat if you want to be.’” 

Cooper, whose real name is Vincent Furnier, continued with a broader swipe at “the whole Woke thing,” questioning who was “making the rules” that imposed politically-correct neologisms on the English-speaking population. 

“Is there a building somewhere in New York where people sit down every day and say, ‘OK, we can’t say ‘mother’ now. We have to say ‘birthing person.’ ‘Get that out on the wire right now’? Who is this person that’s making these rules?” he asked, dismissing the phenomenon as an absurdist “comedy.” While the interviewer mentioned other glam rockers who had opined on the trans issue and then eaten their words after public backlash, Cooper insisted he was not being “old school” in his views but simply “logical,” arguing his opinions were those of the vast majority.

Chipkins & Co. would be delighted if they do; a chance to save his bacon from the looming landslide defeat.

The message to give all pushers of harmful substances including that government one:

Chris Hipkins has declared that Labour’s campaigning this election is going to abandon the “Be Kind” nonsense of Ardern and go negative. We are going to see a resurgence of the Nasty Party. Negative campaigning is something the Left loves to do. All I can say is ‘Bring it’.

Political commentator Bryce Edwards says political parties are running the risk of turning the New Zealand public “away in disgust” if divisive tensions continue to rise.

The 2023 election campaign is heating up and tensions are rising both within Parliament and on the campaign trail.

Joining AM Early on Thursday, Edwards said he’s witnessed politics become more tense and divisive over the last year – something he’s not seen for a “long, long time”.

“It’s out there in society and the public with a lot of discontent. Polls show that people think New Zealand is heading in the wrong direction.”He said with the visible “social dislocation” and polarisation – politicians are picking up on it.

“Essentially, they’re trying to get votes out of this.” Edwards pointed to some of the political parties’ campaign slogans: New Zealand First’s ‘Let’s take our country back’ and National’s ‘Let’s get New Zealand back on track’. Edwards said the mood is “looking much worse than we’ve seen in a long time” and also pointed to Labour already talking about running a more negative campaign to highlight what it believes a National-ACT coalition might look like.

He believes the current type of political tactics used by parties could turn the public off and “away in disgust”. He told AM Early it “tends to produce a decline in voter turnout when things get nasty like this and polarised”.

“Culture wars are a big part of it as well because you have minor parties, especially from left to right, Greens, ACT, New Zealand First that are really pushing, you know, sort of stuff about race and condemnations and ethnicity. It really can turn people off,” he said. “So I think that’s the real danger we’re at at the moment.” –Newshub

The usual theory is that negative campaigning lowers the turnout, but the turnout of the left is lowered by the largest amount. So Chippy can go negative all he wants, it won’t help him. But it will really reinforce with voters that the last six years have all been a massive charade and will reveal the true nature of Labour: nasty, vindictive, spiteful and jealous.

Labour’s support will tank, and all the opposition parties will gain as people turn their backs, literally, on Labour.

Only two questions remain for me… are Labour working hand in glove with Nicky Hager on their own Dirty Politics plan, and can Labour beat Bill English’s record low score of 20.93% [in 2002] for a major political party?
