BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! - Clive Bibby
The Government seems hell-bent on passing legislation, much of which will benefit only one group of citizens at the expense of virtually all others.
Where does this fit with the mantra that we are all in this together, one group of 5 million (supposedly equals), or the promise to govern in the interest of all?
It would seem that the PM and her motley crew are scared of their own shadow and worried sick that this is the only opportunity they will get to honour the promises they have made to a select few citizens — which is difficult to fathom, given the huge gap in popularity between Labour and the Opposition parties apparent in the latest major opinion polls.
Maybe they don't believe the polls or the interpretation of them by most media commentators (including our own editor) who are suggesting the Government is in an unassailable position and will virtually sleepwalk to victory next time around. So why the rush?
I suspect that the response to their recent undemocratic push to ensure Maori wards are introduced, and almost universal opposition to the way it was handled, is telling them something that they would prefer not to consider.
I am suggesting that the groundswell of opposition to this contemptuous activity is only just hitting its straps and will grow to the point where people will change their vote once they fully realise the implications of this rush to change the law.......
