Plenty of curfuffle about this on social media and mainstream media in the past few weeks. A near 80,000 strong petition was delivered to TVNZ yesterday demanding Hosking be dumped as debate moderator in the interests of fairness and balance.

It's no secret that Mike Hosking is a shallow, biased, greedy and materialistic little cunt of an excuse for a man and that he is way out of touch with reality as the average New Zealander perceives it. However, should we not, as independent thinking and acting individuals be able to see through such a transparent creature like Hosking and focus only on the performance of the 2 people in the debate? I would hope so.

Douche bag cunt Richard Prebble is resigned to the inevitability of the corrupt National government being voted out this election.

The most concerning part of the volatility of the Polls has been how utterly manipulated they are by the mainstream media.

The Green Party is toast with rotten avocado on top in the latest poll results, they wont even make it back into parliament on these numbers. National is down, fuck them, those numbers need to fall further. Labour is up again.

I don't think anyone saw this coming apart from the corrupt liar former Prime Minister John Key who fled the sinking National Party ship like the rat he is. Actually, I take that back, rats can be pretty cool pets and comparing them to a psychopathic cunt like John Key is wrong.

Back to the election, I am really looking forward to the live debates. Jacinda vs Bill may be the most interesting political shit to go down in this country for over a decade. National must be shitting themselves.

Following the incandescent rise of Jacinda Ardern to the top of the Labour Party, the National Party, obviously ruffled by the obscene amount of media time a non criminal, non member of the National Party has been receiving since then has released what they hope is surely a vote hoovering election winning policy of "Boot Camps" for juvenile delinquents.

Nine years into their run as government they have decided that the iron fist needs to come down on naughty adolescents and their negligent parents, so they are going to send them to the Army and slam the parents of these little monsters with fines.

It pretty obviously had to happen. Her brutal honesty about her time on welfare decades ago backfired enormously and the right leaning mainstream media saw the opportunity to pour petrol on the fire she lit and stoked an inferno.

I met her about 10 years ago at one of the openUReyes film nights at the Southern Cross Garden Bar. We invited her as a guest speaker and she turned up, luggage in hand straight after landing at Wellington airport on a Monday evening. She spotted me lingering at the back of the crowd and picked me as an organiser immediately and we sat and chatted quietly while the film played. She hit me then as the real deal, a real person, not an actor and she stood up at the end of the film and spoke to the audience with relaxed authority and knowledge on the subject from a Kiwi political position.

A marine reserve north of Auckland could have 1000 houses built on its shores if a development company has its way.

Okura Land Holdings Ltd is going to the Environment Court next to appeal a decision by the Auckland Council to knock back the development.

Long Bay Okura Great Park society spokesperson Teresa Moore said that number of houses would cause silt and heavy metals to go into the Okura Estuary.

Firstly, who are the 88 victims of illegal spying in New Zealand by the GCSB? These rape victims absolutely must be notified of the crimes their government has committed against them.

Secondly, that information must be made public and those responsible held to account via prosecution. The rule of law means nothing if it does not apply to all citizens regardless of status or post. Disorder will follow otherwise.

Thirdly, the now confirmed lying on sworn affidavits made to the High Court about the illegal spying on Kim Dotcom by persons in government must be prosecuted.
