It isn't a Labour - National thing. Sure philosophically I lean to the right of the political spectrum. Possibly only because it is the right that consistently applies the economic theory that I think is best and consistently lets people get on with business and the freedoms associated with that. I believe the compass of Governments should be limited to those things where the market fails. My first memory of being politically aware dates back to 1972. I ran for Parliament as a National candidate in 1984. In 1987 I voted for Roger Douglas and his team to continue the reform that they were undertaking. I respect our Parliamentary Democracy and the Westminster System it is based on. I object vehemently when I see the principles enshrined in our system of Government overridden or abused. That is one of my biggest objections to the way Adern has managed Covid-19. She dissolved Parliament and instituted a system of Totalitarianism.

Expand Firstly, and I don't want to divert the discussion, I supported the tour because I valued the freedom of being able to associate and watch the sport I loved. I did NOT support apartheid. I, perhaps naively at that time, believed that politics and sport should not be mixed. The 1981 Springbok Tour at University was my "Vietnam War." It was what going to University was all about. Growing up and fighting for causes. I could do what I wanted to do. Maybe Covid-19 is this generations "cause." BUT what I firmly believe is that my view and actions were as important as the other side in bringing about change. Secondly I'm not "name dropping" as you call it to justify ANY argument that I may have (your comment though hints at your age - so maybe you are not naive because of your age) but to validate that I'm not partisan purely because of red or blue or left or right. Duncan McIntyre's (McIntyre was the Minister of Agriculture and for a time the Deputy Prime Minister during Muldoons government for those who are too young to remember) son was Angus. Angus was a Senior Lecturer in Resource Management at Lincoln College when I attended. As was Rodney Hide. Both were well respected academics in their fields. Now Angus had long hair, a beard and wore sandals. Rodney was always in a suit. Angus's father was a Cabinet Minister at the time and attending lectures I could never reconcile the two. BUT Angus was a brilliant lecturer and academic and lecturer and I learnt heaps about public policy. Rodney was the same. Neither Angus or Rodney would have made successful politicians - too many brains and not political. Sadly and I guess given the current situation Angus died from an asthma attack while on an academic transfer in the USA. As for Duncan McIntyre - I was chairman of the Selwyn Young Nationals at the time his was Minister of Agriculture. Lincoln University (College) was in the Selwyn Electorate - Ruth Richardson was our MP. We went from not existing to being the largest Young Nationals branch in New Zealand inside a year. Our focus was entirely political it wasn't social. We held political forums where we invited Ministers and Industry Leaders and other protagonists to speak to a particular topic. One forum was "The Meat Industry Reform." Believe me in 1981/82 reforming the meat industry was one of the big political issues. We had speakers from across the political spectrum. I still have vivid memories of the day my Vice Chairman and I went to the Meat Workers Union office to talk to and invite the President to our forum. There was the Russian flag on the wall behind his desk and Fidel Castro tapes sitting on his desk. LOL my vice and I couldn't believe it but we talked to him and he agreed to come and speak representing the workers. Derek Quigley was another and represented the Cabinet. We had reps from the processing plants and so on. Anyway to cut a long story short. Late that night after the forum I got a call from a reporter from RNZ Morning Report asking me what had happened at the forum. I just told it the way it was. I didn't realise that the phone conversation was being recorded. Anyway a week later at the local National Party Committee meeting Ruth Richardson is giving her monthly report on the state of the nation and she says how proud she was to hear the chairman of her Young Nationals Branch on RNZ Radio Report. Being a politician she was turing a positive light on what I had said for the electorate committee. Because what I had said was, in a nutshell, that the National Government's Meat Industry Reform "was a waste of time." There were members, cabinet ministers and others saying to Ruth - "Can't you control your Young Nationals?" So my name is in Hansard where a Labour Minister asks the Right Honourable Duncan MacIntyre "what does the Minister of Agriculture have to say about the Chairman of the Selwyn Young Nationals comment on Morning Report that the Meat Industry Taskforce is a complete waste of time?" The thing is Holy I'm not driven by ideology or (quotes) but by what I think is right based on facts and logic. I'm the first in a team to stand up and say "I agree" but also the first to stand up if - "I disagree." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
