Maybe I’m getting even sillier in my early senility but I can’t help but note every political column I read, whether left, hard left, communist or extreme left and even the (very) occasional centre right-ish one (i.e. all of them) makes a point of using the adjective “coalition” when describing the current New Zealand Government.
Since the advent of MMP (thanks Jim – you bastard!) ever New Zealand Government has been a coalition Government.
Even the Communist dictator took the Reds (The other communists) into Government with it.
So why now apply the label?
My first thought was that “coalition” is amplified to point out that National couldn’t govern alone but that can’t be right or non-communist propagandists wouldn’t be doing it. Would they?
Could New Zealand’s media be worse than even I expect? Could even the non-communists be so bloody stupid they must follow the flock instead of thinking for themselves?
Are New Zealand educators that influential?
No Minister 
`Are New Zealand educators that influential?’
Whatever the educational Head Office agenda is – be it Racial Division or pushing the young people to the left politically we do know that Mrs Hipkins Senior (Chippy’s mummy) has allegedly been involved in setting the curriculum.
We also know that the Teachers themselves continue to generously fund the various Teacher Unions that are the main contributors to the financial well being of the NZ Labour Party.
The dots are therefore connected Tinman.
The media has an unfortunate propensity for adding unnecessary descriptors and they’re almost always applied to those on the right not left.
For example they say the right wing think tank but don’t say the left wing Greenpeace.
