NZ Labour Party discovers the Internet
http://blog.labour.org.nz/index.php/...s-are-rubbish/
Clare Curran, Labour spokesperson for Communications and Information Technology, has been told about a site on the interwebs called "speedtest.net" (/facepalm) and has discovered that NZ is actually geographically remote and its "bandwidth data" or something is, um, less good than that of someone somewhere else. THIS IS A CRISIS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS ALLOWED THIS SITUATION TO ARISE IN THE EIGHTEEN MONTHS IT HAS BEEN IN POWER. |

Claire Curran means well, but she's probably one of the most ineffectual politicians I can think of. She wins her electorate because she carries their issues forward to parliament and gets some media attention, but she doesn't take the time to actually UNDERSTAND the issues she's bringing forward.
Net result? Nothing happens.

Someone is insulting my party of choice! I must find a completely unrelated case where a member of the opposite party has done something retarded.
The fact MPs are idiots is a given. |

Most of them aren't the Opposition spokesperson for Communications and Information Technology attacking the government because she found a site called "speedtest.net".

If you don't like it you are free to leave and go to a country where the government minsters have a clue about the internet, like say Steven Conroy

It's really amusing they discover this after being voted out, and start to champion an argument that has been around for the better part of 10 years.

The National Party must be doing some stupid shit lately for this to get its own thread.

Phil Goff gets served by JK.
Hon Phil Goff: In assessing which assets the Prime Minister, and the National Government, might put up for sale, has he considered past experience with privatisation, when a private sector board ran Air New Zealand into bankruptcy and private owners asset-stripped KiwiRail and ran it into the ground? Hon JOHN KEY: The Leader of the Opposition has a fair point. If one is going to consider these matters, one should definitely seek someone who has had experience. Maybe, just maybe, the Minister of Finance and I should go and have a chat with the Leader of the Opposition, because that is the man who sold Telecom, the State Insurance Office, the Post Office Bank, Air New Zealand, the Tourist Hotel Corporation, New Zealand Steel, Petrocorp, the Government Printing Office, the DFC, the National Film Unit, the Rural Banking and Finance Corporation, the Shipping Corporation, New Zealand Liquid Fuel Investment, Maui Gas, SynFuels, forest cutting rights, Health Computing Services and Communicate New Zealand. If there is ever a man who knows something about privatisation, it is that one. http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/PB/Bu...t-for-Sale.htm |

I think JK's point is that those privatisations were the decisions of the Labour Cabinet, of which Phil Goff was a Minister.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure many of the big selloffs (like Telecom) happened while Helen Clark was Minister of Finance. Douglas was Minister of Police at the time. |

I'm pretty sure Douglas was in on it.They coined the term "Rogernomics" from that and even gave him a knighthood for selling out his country.

I remember, just before the election, Helen Clarke and John Key were in a televised debate. Completely out of the blue, and unrelated to the current topic at hand, JK blurts out, "NZ has crap internet. It's slow. National will fix teh interwebs and makes thems fasters". I paraphrase (only slightly), but that was the gist. Both HC and The Walrus guy from TV1 were like "WTF?". And so, while I wait for my "fast internets", JK is going "Cycle from one end of NZ to the other? Fuck yes bitches!"

Next up from Clare "just discovered the Internet" Curran: BROADBAND IS FAST IN JAPAN AND SOUTH KOREA BUT SLOW HERE. LABOUR DEMANDS AN EXPLANATION.
http://blog.labour.org.nz/index.php/...-a-difference/ It's like Curran is trolling ten-year-old posts in the Telco forum for talking points. |
