  • A word we shy away from

    A widespread lack of enforcement, widespread political intereference
    in decisions, underfunding of key departments charged with enforcement
    - why do we not use the word "corruption". Yes, deliberate, systemic corruption.

    The way forward to restore the integrity of New Zealands reputation,
    and to at least try to fulfil the slogan "100% pure", it is clear we
    need to change the government

    The word "corruption" was used less often when Labour last lost control of power.

    There is no viable alternative.

    You mean to the even more corrupt Labour/Greens Rich? Why should we do
    that? The dumb twits can't even manage their own finances. Why should we
    let poor widdle broke Andy loose on the country's finances?

    We need to get tougher yes, things escalate despite the best of intelligence and so it is time.
    But it is not corruption, unless of course you think that rhetoric makes a case that logic cannot??
