This Stop #CoGovernance website is worth exploring. The blog is serious, the other pages not so much. #nzpol

Unfortunately history is repeating itself and I'm pretty sure Julian Batchelor is in cahoots with the right wing political parties just like the Exclusive Brethren of yesteryear.

The similarities of the dirty undemocratic politics of Don Brash's National party and the National party of today are palpable

The only ones trying separate us is racist capitalists. #Māori #nz #pakeha #newzealand #racism #cogovernance

Pure cowardice from the Auckland Council to cancel *both* events:

#Cogovernance (co-governance) at the coalface - it works fine in #Waikato and #WesternSprings

#youtube just delivered me an ad for #HobsonsPledge.
Its main thrust was "#ChrisHipkins is just like #JacindAarden: He doesn't believe our racist dog-whistling about #cogovernance"
Which seems like an own goal?

If the idea of honouring Te Tiriti appeals to you, and you're not scared about representatives of the Crown and sharing top level decision-making on matters of principle, you may not feel the need to hear Julian Batchelor on his Stop #CoGovernance crusade.

If you want to know if he's speaking in your town, and maybe even feel like moseying along with your own sign or views, here's a link to the event schedule:

CW: Starts with talking about violence against women in a crimewatch-reconstruction context.

"If co-governance is about power, it’s about who holds the balance of it. In the case of my almost-legal son who still lives at home, that balance rests with me.
...
We can extend the analogy. Leaders on the left and right of the political spectrum are like divorced parents who can’t stop gaslighting each other. "

"Co-governance at work is shockingly tame, after the recent sometimes violent rhetoric. ... It’s just a bunch of people on a board doing board stuff – getting together, making decisions, and sharing accountability for financing and outcomes.
...
.. alongside that, in what’s possibly the most radical bit about the Waikato RIver Authority and most other co-governance models, is the fact it makes decisions by consensus. "

Daughter in law listening to Ben Thomas on Gone by Lunchtime podcast and pulling faces. A lot can change in a week. Thomas making no acknowledgement that ACT party with big $$$ and TPU created too much noise on #cogovernance and #3waters He's always out of touch with rural thinking and is really cringey.
