Wouldn’t you be better employing your time by fighting the corruption and wastefulness that I showed you in the above post?

Why? Because wasteful government spending is fine when people that you like are doing it?
Morrissey
You call funding hospitals and schools and water reticulation “wasteful.” I call vanity projects like $36 million flag referenda and giving money to dishonest politicians wasteful.
Can you see the difference? (I think you can; whether you have the character to admit it is another story.)
Are you aware Morrissey, that Labour’s policy in 2014 was for a flag referendum? The only difference between theirs and National’s would have been that the votes were the other way around. Their opposition of National’s referendum was solely to get at John Key.

I don’t suppose the union has revealed who’s funding their virtue signalling, have they?

Just a guess, but I’ll go with not the Gubbermunt.

An open letter from the Flag Con Panel
“I’m saddened at one level that there seems to be quite a bit of reluctance to engage in the conversation.”—HANA O’REGAN, Flag Con Committee
“The hope is to encourage public involvement in the process ahead of the vote, but hardly anyone turned up.”—JULIET SPEEDY, TV3 News
E ngā, suckers.
Kia ora for the 10,292 designs you’ve suggested—even if half of them were from the same sad, obsessed, talent-free individual. Each of these (some quirkier than others!) was viewed by every Panel member—which gives the lie to the nasty allegations swirling around that this Panel is nothing but a sinecure for a bunch of nobodies who lacked the integrity to say no to putting their undistinguished names to a farcical vanity project for a frivolous and contemptible Prime Minister. We were, moreover, not impressed with the large number of “satirical” designs, such as the now infamous “laser Kiwi”, which were obviously intended to belittle this very serious process and to waste the Panel’s valuable time.
In reviewing flag designs, first and foremost, we were guided by what an average attendance of four Kiwis at each meeting, some of them unfortunately “homeless” people who had turned up for the complementary tea and biscuits, told us when they shared what is special to them about New Zealand. A special thank you must be paid here to the tireless, albeit reluctant, local National Party branches throughout the country!
