Monday Morning Coffee

Audrey Young wasted no time this morning putting the boot into Chris Hipkins when she wrote that if Oscar Kightley’s unenthusiastic introduction of Hipkins to party faithful in Manukau is any indication, his support is lukewarm at best.

However, Audrey did concede in that superior way that a white slave owner looks down her nose - at her human property and serving staff on the neoliberal plantation - that Chippy asserted his leadership, demonstrated a willingness to oversee tax policy and took advantage of the mess now obvious from the current diabolical coalition of evil clowns.

Over at Newshub inequality expert Max Rashbrooke said ... the party has done a lot of work on a fairer tax system and will be feeling the pressure to deliver on it.

"I don't think Hipkins would raise his head above the parapet if there was no intention to do anything because why would you get everybody's hopes up again and dash them for a second time?

Sounds like Labour will take about two years to develop their tax policy using internal discussion documents but it's fair comment to say that as inequality and economic pressure bites more people than in a very long time - a stronger majority now is looking for that perfect day when greedy property investors weep in the streets of Remuera and Mike Hosking finally gets on that plane to Australia along with all his baggage.

Yes there's a smile on the faces of the children who one day will gladly undo every policy and wrong doing made by Christopher Luxon, Nicola Willis, Chris Bishop and fifty shades of Brown.

The memory of Luxon will be scrubbed from history with a wire brush and Atlas Network Wet and Forget.

A decent water blaster like a capital gains tax will finally overwhelm the media assets who bitch and moan all day...and who knows maybe even a wealth tax will save the future generations from the tyranny of this cruel greed we are witnessing today.

Viva the revolution, or something like that, while Greens people say what took you so long?

Yes, yesterday's speech by Chippy was heart and soul and the words sounded big and real and truthful and full of meaning - unlike the canned corporate junk memorised by a hollow egg.

While the greedy few told themselves they were back on track - it won't be for long - as the red and green and TPM wave builds momentum now and people clearly see we need to tilt that playing field back in favour of the most needy and tip the nation wreckers off.

The only question is - how much damage will need to be repaired after three years of Seymour and Willis and Luxon on the rampage - with Shane Jones killing off things to drill for oil and mine for coal under the excuse of - renewable energy - my foot.

We all know there's about eight consented wind farms already just sitting there - waiting for market demand to rise - so nobody buys the Luxon spin about it taking 8 years to consent a windfarm. Nonsense.

It will be a glorious day when any fossil fuel contracts done now under Chris Bishop's cackling scheme are ripped up in front of the faces of the Petroleum Industry and it's foreign investors.

Bye Felicia !!! How sad, boo hoo, shoulda done it sooner.

Back to Audrey.

One of the reasons Oscar was down beat is cos that is how Oscar is anyway and man he was dissed about this shocking government messing with the disabled - I mean they really crossed that line by a long way - so much so - there are no words.

Its more like a sound - like nahhh and a hand wave like go fix yourself cos you are sick and I don't want to talk about how sick.

I suppose Luxon and Seymour and company figured they would punch down hard in the first few months while still riding an election victory wave ...and then surf onto the beach running like heroes waving in the Santa Parade as ticker tape fell from tall buildings.

Lord Hannan had told them to "do it now" before the Public Service woke up - and wow - everyone is wide awake now...just as more cuts to jobs are coming and they do their evil unnecessary, inflationary, unaffordable deeds.

Chippy was wise to wait for the right moment.

John Campbell had ripped his spleen about where was Chippy - about a month ago and Tova was bleating like a sheep under a tractor - but Chippy kept his powder dry until the eyes were wide open and even swing voters saw the error of their ways.

Timing was everything.

Grant had gone but Chippy remained and Barbara had established herself as a formidable force facing Willis - forcing her onto her back foot and the squeaky sounds of um and er emanated cos Barbara's arrows hit between the eyes.

From the G News grass roots I can report that Chippy's speech was a major hit - and it went deep and resonated strongly.

This felt like a movement building into some kind of wider solidarity and every wrong done now, must be put right tomorrow.

I don't want to keep blithering on so I'll leave it there but I'd like to hear your thoughts on these matters this morning, after you've had a night to sleep on it?
