NZ First Youth: New Zealand First: "We've Always Been At War With Eurasia" - Embedded at the NZ First Convention Part 2
http://puttingnzfirst.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-zealand-first-weve-always-been-at.html
A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Sunday, August 2, 2015. New Zealand First: "We've Always Been At War With Eurasia" - Embedded at the NZ First Convention Part 2. One interesting theme that regrettably resurfaces time and time again in politics is the comprehensive rewriting of history for strategic gain. Or, in some cases, as an act of retribution and revenge against a defeated (and therefore powerless) foe. Is to believe th...

NZ First Youth: Embedded At The NZ First Convention Part 3: Mark My Words - "In War, Amateurs Talk Tactics, Professionals Proffer Logistics"
http://puttingnzfirst.blogspot.com/2015/08/embedded-at-nz-first-convention-part-3.html
A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Embedded At The NZ First Convention Part 3: Mark My Words - "In War, Amateurs Talk Tactics, Professionals Proffer Logistics". The most interesting part of today (apart from the confused passage of a certain constitutional remit dealing with Schrodinger's Youth Wing) was unquestionably Ron Mark-watching. From what I've seen today, Ron Mark has all three in spades. We're...

NZ First Youth: May 2015
http://puttingnzfirst.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Friday, May 29, 2015. Whose Fault Is The Hardship! Without a doubt my favourite MP from New Zealand First's 2014 intake is Palmerston North-based MP Darroch Ball. (Ron Mark doesn't count, coz he's been around before). Let’s never forget it was National, and the ‘mother of all budgets’ in 1991 that severely cut welfare, and they have taken the axe to it in many ways since. Or, as I might have ...

A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. There Are Some Things Money Can't Buy: For Everything Else, There's Ministerial Credit Card. Question: When is a minister not responsible for expenditures using her ministerial credit card that breach Parliament's rules? Answer: When there's a conveniently positioned employee ready to take the fall and shoulder the blame. Well if it had been an appropriate minist...

NZ First Youth: December 2014
http://puttingnzfirst.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. If this were my son. Toward the close of New Year's Eve Eve, this post from TV3's excellent man about various towns, David Farrier. Happened to percolate across my newsfeed. It's a photo of a temporary memorial called Arlington West. However, it's not just *any* photo of a war memorial and contemplative space . it's also one of Max Key's holiday snaps. In any case,...

NZ First Youth: 23% of Kiwis Think Mentally Ill Should Face Workplace Discrimination? That's Just Nuts!
http://puttingnzfirst.blogspot.com/2015/08/23-of-kiwis-think-mentally-ill-should.html
A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. 23% of Kiwis Think Mentally Ill Should Face Workplace Discrimination? Well this is concerning, isn't it. According to the Herald, a quarter of Kiwis are OK with workplace discrimination against the mentally ill. Now let's be clear about this. I've said it before, and I'll say it again:. And that doesn't make very much sense, does it. As I've previously argued, when t...

NZ First Youth: John Armstrong Gets It Wrong On Winston And NZ First - AGAIN
http://puttingnzfirst.blogspot.com/2015/08/john-armstrong-gets-it-wrong-on-winston.html
A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Saturday, August 8, 2015. John Armstrong Gets It Wrong On Winston And NZ First - AGAIN. Early last week, Herald resident naysayer John Armstrong published a piece which basically set out that New Zealand First - a Party which, according to sane observers, is pretty much in the form of its life - had no future. All across the mediasphere, pundits. Came out of the woodwork. With regard to what ...

NZ First Youth: The New Kiwi Deal - New Zealand First
http://puttingnzfirst.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-new-kiwi-deal-new-zealand-first.html
A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. The New Kiwi Deal - New Zealand First. One of the more interesting parts of last weekend's New Zealand First Convention was Winston's announcement of the so-called New Kiwi Deal. This immediately grabbed my attention as a direct and potent example of a social democratic slash against the seriously silly status quo economica which we languish under today. Now it's tr...

NZ First Youth: On Sam Lotu-Iiga, Winston Peters Needs No Corrections
http://puttingnzfirst.blogspot.com/2015/08/on-sam-lotu-iiga-winston-peters-needs.html
A decidedly unofficial repository of the news, views, and attitudes of some young people who quite like NZ First. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. On Sam Lotu-Iiga, Winston Peters Needs No Corrections. Another day, another somewhat less than ideally phrased Winston quotation that's been seized upon by the media. This time, it's his assertion that Minister of Corrections Sam Lotu-Iiga has "got a slightly better understanding [of some of the issues in his portfolio] than many people think". And yet, if we were to ...
