Key channels his inner Cheney and forms a group to help protect us from unknown unknowns.

1) It was Rumsfeld and not Cheney who used that phrase. 2) There was actually nothing at all wrong with what Rumsfeld actually said, if anything it was a fairly good break down on the issues of the limits of knowledge in regards to planning. Pixie

Don't forget the out of place TERRIST VIDIAHS for extra FUD - ISIS is surely a KNOWN threat, thus outside the realms of this money wasting "think" tank.

The group's a joke though, a bunch of power players being round up to think of reasons why NZers should be scared.

Yeah, there are lots of things to hate Rumsfeld for but that speech ain't one of them. It was perfectly sensible.

The really strange thing is that the basic idea behind the group is solid - but I have zero confidence in their ability to actually rationalise any threats outside of their own areas of expertise.
The one "info-graphic" I've seen produced by the group is so predictable that it could have been done by a 1st year Philosophy or Statistics student (with all the errors of methodology and thinking that comes with that) and that makes it next to useless. Pixie

Indeed. If the group was intended to do the stated job, I think it would be quite differently composed.
Nah, I reckon this is part of whatever smoke and mirrors game Key has cooked up next.

Well I would be curious to see if you could point to any initiative by National that even somewhat could be credited for these improvements.
Though I have some wonderings about the figures. Like what are the median earnings? What are the changes in average earnings once we exclude the top 10% of earners?

Can any refute this opinion piece?
Govt loath to let facts come between friends As they point out, it's all well and good to have a laugh at the some back bencher with interesting ideas about health science, but what about National's pick-and-choose approach to science?

The words "Dita de Boni" refute it pretty well. I assume that anything she posts is wrong.
Don't get me wrong though, I think Governmental muzzling of scientists to be fucking horrendous. Hell, I live in Australia under the Abbott government. |

Key used GCSB for political ends prior to 2014 election
But this isn't a problem because JK is okay with it and we know that humans when they come to power turn into the most decent people in the world and would never do anything to ensure their own power to the detriment of those who put them in power. /s

Are you suggesting the Greens are lying about the content of the response to their OIA request? lolz, I don't think I'm the one scraping here.
Actually, I'm sorry, you're probably doing a good impression of a National party member. An accusation of an abuse of power? Hey look at that over there!

Didn't everyone know about this already? Didn't JK say "I'm going to release this information in order to protect my reputation" ahead of Greenbob and Assange's fizzler with the fat german cunt?
Or was this a different release? |

Another example of election derangement syndrome. Norman doesn't appear to have grasped that the election is over and that National won.

Norman's been going on about this for two months nonstop. Noone gave a shit in September, noone gave a shit in October, and noone gives a shit now.

You mean no one who matters? Or are you trapped in some kind of filter bubble?

IIRC the big reveal at TEH MOMENT OF TWUTH was supposed to be that the govt was eavesdropping on NZers. This was not in fact the case, but the proof that it was not the case was in documents that were classified. Wussel was counting on the fact that Key could not make that proof public.
So Key had the GCSB declassify the document, used the info in it to prove that the govt wasn't doing the shit that TEH MOMENT OF TWUTH was supposed to be all about, and Wussell has been butthurt about it for two whole months. Think about it. What he's so pissed off about is the manner in which John Key proved that the government was not doing anything wrong. HOW DARE HE. |

Oh okay. So what you're saying is it's only really National that can pull that kind of thing? It makes sense I guess, it does take a kind of critical mass, some kind of position of authority to effectively make a mountain out of a molehill as National has been effective at, mountains some around here are so eager to climb up.
