Coming home to roost, National's chickens

"Banners being erected at prominent sites around Wellington, and soon around the country, read: 

‘National: dirty rivers / toxic mining / oil spills / asset sales’."


"Flaxroots campaigning gets under the skin of PR-saturated politicians by bringing to the fore the issues that the public care about and National Party politicians would prefer to be swept under the carpet."

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

I think this story is as big. This is the cause of many of the issues as people lose sight of community objectives and concentrate of their own agendas usually to just make more money.

I loved to comment made on TV the other night by NZ's own stunt crazy man Chuck Berry when they asked what frightened him. Sitting for hours in Auckland traffic going to work to pay for the over priced house that I have to spend all day away from so I can own it.

You are right, Philip and there are many other big stories that reveal National's paucity of value to new Zealand. Personally, I'm cheering for the activists who are hanging the environmental posters, because that's what I think about most but if there are people (and there are!) who are highlighting the issues that you describe, I cheer them on too!
