When the mainstream media looses credibility the people have no option but to look elsewhere.
Historically change will always germinate in the fringe.

I initially read that as: “Historically change will always germinate in the fridge”.

lol ! actually i have had reasonable success lately with germination but more in the garden, not so much the fridge.

NZ's moved on, we're a progressive liberal democracy, change is happening & obviously too fast for some.

The BDF is backward looking, its constituency is assuaging the anxiety & fears of those hankering for the past, articles denying climate change, supporting anti-vaxer Liz Gunn, unilateralism v addressing challenges the world faces as part of a global community etc.
Pandemics, climate change, refugees etc these are global problems needing multilateral solutions.

Jeez $75m to host a zoom meeting ….and govt paid Stuff etc to report how good it was

NZ now can boast of a 'paid' press rather than a free press - courtesy of taxpayers' money being used by Cindy to buy positive PR :

I am not afraid of change but not when it involves stepping backwards into dreamland.

Yup - this government is all about redistribution :

From those who work hard and produce to those who do not work and who produce ever more dependents & beneficiaries (but Labour voters)

And borrowing ever more money & cranking up debt (for future generations to shoulder) to pay for unproductive initiatives, projects and largesse to their favored ones.

That's the CHANGE that the likes of Blue Skies are supporting.

Probably like the last desperate case I read - turned out well and the article was just jumping the gun.
No time frame given for what responses have or haven't been given (except that the accident happened 3 days ago).
Being proactive in pulling heart strings I suppose.
