    To make the occupiers esp the extremist aggressive elements feel their demands were validated, was a huge mistake Imo & will not sit well with National's base esp Asian voters.
    And supposedly from the party of Law & Order.

    The off market threads are for discussions other than selling and buying shares and “wealth accumulation”.

    The Old folks with the money bags and real estate wealth are much more reliant on the government - they are some of the most demanding of government beneficiaries! For it is the government’s continuing the monetary and fiscal settings, amongst other policies, that provided and provide the basis for their wealth accumulation and continuation.

    Want to see a real spineless creature?

    Ihumatao.

    That’s all that anyone has to ask about the Parliament protest and it’s quite a sight to see Clueless Cindy duck for cover.

    CCC = Cowardly Clueless Cindy.

    Spineless woman with no principles.

    CCC - I LoVe it!

    I've resisted until now commenting on this absolutely ludicrous 'stuck record strategy' comparison between Ihumatao & the Parliament occupation.
    If it didn't show such an ignorance of NZ history it would be laughable.

    Apart from the fact the land was confiscated under totally false pretences by the govt & later sold to the Wallace family, none of the Ihumatao protesters drew up a list of our Members of Parliament to be executed, arrived with Nazi symbols, put up a gallows in front of Parliament, called for Nuremberg 2 trials, called for the sacking of Parliament, desecrated a war memorial, took over & destroyed our Parliamentary grounds, forced the closure of part of Victoria university, forced the closure of a couple of schools, the closure of the National Library & Archives, intimidation of citizens & even children going to work or school, blocked off major roads in our Capital city and on & on.

    For goodness sake if you're going to keep going on about Ihumatao, study a bit of the history, and you will see it was totally unjust.
    Just loosely the Iwi were trading & supportive of the local Auckland settlers but driven off their land & then framed as being part of the Waikato rebellion, had their land confiscated.
    It's an important historical & archeological site.
    The application of the Law is not always fair or just.
    No informed person with any sense of decency would come to any conclusion other than the govt did exactly the right thing. They righted a very unjust wrong.

    Find another comparison if you must, because that one sure don't work!
