Righto, let's get stuck in. The Herald has finished its dreadful annual holiday snap competition and so the paper is no longer filled with pictures of cats eating ice cream, kids jumping off wharves and pohutukawa trees. Crikey the kids even go back to school next week.
And John Key started the political year with his teaser of a speech to an audience of adoring faithful. By all accounts he made a pretty good fist of it. I've been through it and it is remarkable for a few things. It contains some policy. Remember that? Stuff you say you are going to do - and with any luck then go ahead and actually do a few months later. It was not full of slagging Labour off and calling them a bunch of incompetent ratbags (which they are, of course). By so doing he has not laid himself open to counter slagging from the evil left (although this has not stopped them trying to have a go already) and he cannot be accused of empty rhetoric. His chosen topic is good populist stuff and the timing after the torrent of senseless youth violence of the last couple of days is spot on. I have the impression that there are a lot of these speeches lined up for use in the next few months and they just wheeled out the one that was the best fit for the current circumstances - clever. There is more obviously, finance, foreign policy, health etc. etc.
Amalgam Girl was interviewed by Larry Williams and she was dreadful. She's always dreadful but she passed even her usual low standards (this lady has reached rock bottom and is still digging). I was in the car when she was polluting the electromagnetic spectrum wearing her Justice Minister hat. My wife commented 'Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against dental nurses (our elder daughter is a dentist) but how can one become the Justice Minister? Surely she must have some legal training - or something' Very sharp is my wife. Anyway King was obviously getting rattled by Lazza's questioning and got audibly angry. She then came out with the pearler of the evening. 'Well all these kids were born before Labour came to power and it is therefore National's fault that they are all turning into homicidal maniacs'. She was blaming all the current youth justice problems on the scrotes' parents having their benefits cut a dozen or more years ago.
The truth, of course, is that we are reaping the benefit of left wing, feminist policies of the sixties that went out of favour in the real world decades years ago for one simple reason - they don't work. They have dismantled the nuclear family that has withstood the test of centuries and tried to replace mum (female) and dad (male) with nanny (androgynous) state.
How apt that on the same day as a few sensible policy ideas as to how the police and the other instruments of justice could be better used were being put forward that bloke in Christchurch was being charged with assault for clipping his son around the ear. This will never happen that harridan Bradford assured us. Why do we waste food on her? Oh and just remind me you stupid, stupid, woman how many kids have been murdered since your interfering, nonsensical, useless legislation became law. Surely the time is right to get this country back on track and throw these worthless wretches back in the ditch that is the only place in which they deserve to exist.
