Judith’s Gambit

July 15, 2020

By NZB3

Mum and Dad are home to relieve the babysitter! General Election 2020 just became contestable as the Opposition party, National, just got themselves a leader.

I’m the only one thanking Muller the Plumber. I know what he did for his party. Officially though, and in the State Shared Fantasy, the role of leader was hurting Todd Muller’s health. Anarchists know better.

Judith Collins will shift the Statist Gameshow now to an intelligent, witty, and humorous terrain. Labour 6.0 will have need to show that they can be fun and smart and commanding in response, something they’re no good at and which they’ve never had to do before.

New Zealand will shortly turn once again to an Honour Culture Prime Minister. PM Jacinda Ardern, the Kiwi Khaleesi, and her opposite number, Simon Bridges, are only suited to the current era. They will continue and expire together, beyond the re-invention it would require for either to preside over 2020s Honour Culture New Zealand….next political leadership dichotomy will resemble Honour Culture exponents such as Stuart Nash and Judith Collins.”- Ref. Honour Culture Rising; September 2019, NZB3

The Prime Minster is at risk of looking like a teenage babysitter caught out at not doing her job (babysitting New Zealand) when the parents who left her in charge come home early to a mess. Time to give her $10 and not invite her back next time.
 

Anticipated first bold steps Collins might take to leave her mark…

 
* Go to Southland, announce Tiwai Point smelter will be saved by her Government
 
* Make a speech at Orewa Rotary Club that will stir and shock and inspire and lie to rival a Trump or a Lincoln or a Churchill
 
* Include Goldsmith and Seymour in the election by making them battle for who gets Epsom. No free seat for ACT. If they want to work with the Government they can take personal responsibility and earn it
 
* Announce that New Zealand is open for business. COVID is over. Australian tourists welcome.
 
* Unleash Jerry Brownlee on Grant Robertson, tear down his standing as a competent Finance Minister. At least keep him too occupied to assist while the rest of his Ministry is taken apart
 
* Give Simon Bridges one job: Beating Winston Peters, especially on foreign affairs, until he gives it up and quits just like he did when Bridges took Tauranga from him in ’08
 
* Refuse to let Labour’s Centralising of health and education occur. Champion local control rather than Communist collectivisation
 
* Let The West Coast mine
 
* Let Canterbury farmers farm and stop pinching the water they created
 
* Bold promises of infrastructure and housing. Labour will try to counter-promise and in so doing look moronic for having already said they would and never delivered
 
* Expose Shane Jones and the blank chequebook given him by Labour 6.0 for his party’s support so he could bribe the nation with lolly-scramble dollars
 
* Pick a fight with Stuart Nash
 
Anything else?
