Budget distraction - no govt.nz?

Budget?

beehive.govt.nz

executive.govt.nz?

beehive.govt.nz!

FFS.-Much better looking masthead these days.

Budget.Great...

oh what's this...

That's it, right there: How can the government say that "Tamaki Makaurau" has been reorganised when what is to be established - the legislation immediately afterwards - is defined as "Auckland Council"? The first is a Maori term - the second Pakeha.

When the international community read this they will see exactly why the NZ government does not sign the UN indigenous rights declaration. What they will see is that a bill to annex a Maori area has been passed under urgency and the replacement authority will be something called the "Auckland Council" that will not have any specific Maori representation on it and will not recognise any Mana Whenua authority that must exist for the Treaty of Waitangi to mean anything. None of these autonomous constitutional units stopped existing on account of the reneging on the side of the Crown party to the provisions. The Crown's version of protection, equality and undisturbed possession was to use the military and police in 1978 to try to wipe out their land holdings in Tamaki Makaurau - to extinguish their Mana Whenua. These laws look like another chapter in that sorry book.

Ok... what was I doing?

Budget.

Budget.

BUDGET. Fuck - that took forever.It's way too late now to start getting through this.

http://www.beehive.govt.nz/ still non-existent. Have they moved? The parliament site looks great now, but, ah... where's the link to the executive - the government. It's not anywhere on their website - just a link to http://newzealand.govt.nz/ - which is also dysfunctional. Must be the cycle of the moon or the hadron collider or something.

It's just hopeless. They can get parliament live streaming but they won't put a link from parliament.govt.nz to beehive.govt.nz. That is so hopeless - such a fundamental breakdown in communication and a public disservice. It's so dumb - so, so dumb. And I bet it all costs so, so much.Where's the link? Not there. I haven't used this one before in text, but I've been muttering it for a few days now when I see some dick do something stupid so it's appropriate to use it to describe the persons who made the decision not to have a direct link from the parliamentary site to the Beehive site: you are cock monkeys. Cock Monkeys? cock-monkeys? Fucking little cock monkeys.
