More madness from labour-lite, Clark gets an ONZ

by admin on December 23, 2009 · 23 comments

They are going to give the big gong to Helen Clark in the New years hon­ours list. Yup, your grand­chil­dren will still be pay­ing off the debt that Clark and Cullen stuck us with and she gets an ONZ.

For ser­vices to nasty?

For being a liar?

For being a thief?

For sab­o­tag­ing birthing in this country?

This is sup­posed to be embar­goed . Fuck that.

Right that feels bet­ter, now for some­thing even more bizarre. Kevin Barry gets a minor gong as well.

Not sure what it is for, won­der how Tua feels about that? All those punches in the face and the light fin­gered man­ager gets the gong. Maybe it is for ser­vices to male pat­tern bald­ness and the wig industry?

There really is no dis­tance between National and Labour, they just take it in turns to stick it in us. Here’s hop­ing for a mas­sive earth­quake in Welling­ton the first day par­lia­ment sits in the new year.

Oh, and Cam. If the embargo breach upsets you. You can suck my hairy arse.

No apol­ogy needed but I must say your sources are impec­ca­ble, I hadn’t heard a thing until you posted this. Now I am livid. There will be retribution.

Livid. You have no idea how angry I am. The com­mit­tee that decided this will no doubt hide behind the “but it is con­ven­tion” wesel words.
Who the fuck is in charge? We have seen National bend over back­wards to reward Clark and Cullen. The only con­clu­sion that can be drawn is that the mem­bers of the com­mit­tee are just lay­ing favours know­ing that when the wheel turns and labour get the big seat they will remem­ber their mates and hand out some in return.

You are obvi­ously a com­plete bigot and have no sense of his­tory – Helen Clark was a great PM and most New Zealan­ders think so – she is con­sis­tently voted the great­est liv­ing New Zealan­der fol­low­ing the death of Ed Hillary and also won 3 elec­tions. And now holds the 3rd high­est office in the UN.

You have obvi­ously for­got­ten the Clark-led trea­son that gut­ted the NZ Defence Force’s abil­ity to apply force against any­one trans­gress­ing our EEZ (you are pos­si­bly too young to remem­ber the Tai­wanese fish­ing ves­sel Kim Nan, and the inabil­ity of our Navy to catch it while it was steal­ing fish. The RNZAF stopped it cold– Sky­hawk, if I have not been direct enough). Her purely social­ist , doc­tri­naire approach to defence left us unable to defend the nation. In ear­lier times she would have been hung, drawn, and quar­tered, not given an Honour.

Abso­lutly spew­ing over Clark!

I’m hop­ing the Kevin Barry will be the father of Tua’s coach.

KB senior is a good guy and totally deserv­ing.
Does heaps with way­ward kids and all sorts of good stuff.
Pity his son is such a wanker.

I would like to see HClark offered an dame­hood (or in this case, a Knight­hood) because she has said she would not accept one. If I was a cheeky Nat, I would pub­l­icy announce the offer to make her come out in her nasty way to slag off Hon­ours and then with­draw the ONZ

Razork, it never occured to me it might be the Father. Thanks for point­ing this out. If so I will amend the post when it is con­firmed. In my defense.. It is hard to post coher­ently when the red mist descends and it cer­tainly did when I was fed the com­plete list with Clarks name at the top.

She deserves this hon­our. She was one of New Zealand’s great­est PM’s – elected 3 times. I’m a National sup­porter and although I might not nec­es­sar­ily sup­port all of her poli­cies – she cer­tainly made a dif­fer­ence. Look at how she left NZ com­pared to what she inher­ited from Ship­ley. Labour’s pol­icy of no tax cuts but debt repay­ment instead has cer­tainly paid off and the coun­try was left in a posi­tion whereby we can now bor­row our way out of trou­ble for a few years. Her sup­port of arts and cul­ture, her deep under­stand­ing of New Zealand’s his­tory, of vet­er­ans and of the Maori Pakeha rela­tion­ship has left us with a won­der­ful legacy. If the present gov­ern­ment achieves any­thing approach­ing her legacy I will be amazed. And now she can use these obvi­ous tal­ents on the Inter­na­tional stage in the UN. What other New Zealand PM has ever achieved any­thing approach­ing her achieve­ments? Maybe Richard John Sed­don, Michael Joseph Sav­age, John Bal­lance, Peter Fraser, Keith Jacka Holyoake . She was a great PM and her legacy will be appre­ci­ated for years and years. She truly made a dif­fer­ence so give credit where credit is due.

Obvi­ously some peo­ple pre­fer their women to have whips rather than good sex­ual attrib­utes. Clark and her lot beat the shit out of Kiwi’s and its bloody pathetic to hear and watch the syco­phan­tic bleat­ing prais­ing her.
She did in the first term do some neat things but tem­per that with the increase in tax rates that con­tributed to our down­ward spi­ral and con­tin­ued dif­fi­cul­ties, with the export of over half a mil­lion Kiwi’s to other coun­tries, to the snarling atti­tude towards her pay­mas­ters, her cor­rupt behavoir and her con­don­ing of that behavoir in oth­ers.
This is all about appease­ment and the Pub­lic Ser­vice anoint­ing one of their own with a reward for the growth in pub­lic ser­vice and the even larger growth in their wages. Unfor­tu­nately the Nats. are so spine­less they didn’t have the guts to say no but went to Copen­hagen so they didn”t have to take the blame.
This is sure going to piss a lot of peo­ple off.

What spendathon ? Did they bor­row to pay for it?. ( while the debt went down mas­sively as well)
National opposed all the spend­ing while in oppo­si­tion so THEY can repeal the whole bloody lot– if they want to be out on their arse in 2 years .
The child­care , the stu­dent loans, the work­ing for fam­i­lies tax cuts, Go ahead ‘insist it all going and you will hold your breath until it happens ‘!

FFS this is unbe­liev­able. the dam­age the last labour gov­erne­ment did to the country’s econ­omy, and the numer­ous episodes of law break­ing, not to men­tion grant­ing of imme­di­ate diplo­matic sta­tus to avoid close affil­i­ates from being indicted for homo­sex­ual pae­dophile activ­ity is rep­re­hen­si­ble. The closes Clark should get to a gong should be the one sound­ing when the trap­door is about to be opened

There are very obvi­ous rea­sons why this infor­ma­tion was leaked. Our fomer PM presided over a govt that rad­i­cally expanded the wel­fare state, when it was com­pletely nec­es­sary to do so. A cyn­i­cal, thinly veiled effort to make a major­ity of Kiwi fam­i­lies depen­dent on the state. They trousered 700k of tax­payer funds to steal the 2005 elec­tion, in addi­tion to the PM stir­ing up hatred, by per­se­cut­ing a reli­gious minor­ity group. Then they attempted to inter­fere with basic demo­c­ra­tic prin­ci­ples, through the EFA. Need I go on? Many of us felt a dic­ta­tor­ship was being foisted upon us through the back door. There are still many ele­ments of this regime prac­tis­ing in local govt, though most will be removed in the com­ing year.

A week is a long time to revisit these facts. The ONZ should go to the whis­tle blower who leaked the list.

You have done New Zealand a Ser­vice here reveal­ing this out­ra­geous infor­ma­tion, while some may feel a cer­tain ex-PM deserves the ONZ it would be far more pru­dent to offer her the knight­hood she most obvi­ously does not want and save the ONZ for some­one truly deserv­ing. Even if the pub­lic does sup­pose she does deserve it why not save it for the event that she may one day be the Sec­re­tary Gen­eral of the UN. If Prime Min­is­ter John Key is plan­ning on this action per­haps he should plan on doing a sim­i­lar action to what SIR Robert Mul­doon did those years ago.

I just hope cer­tain other ex-MPs are not included on this par­tic­u­lar list…

National has done so much dam­age to NZ on the inter­na­tional stage in 12 months it’s unbe­liev­able – NZ is in the good sit­u­a­tion it is because of Helen’s poli­cies – I hope she accepts – she deserves it.

aaa is that short for ‘an absolute ass­hat’?
How do you jus­tify that National have done dam­age to NZ’s image on the inter­na­tional scene? The poli­cies that have been imple­mented are dif­fer­ent to Labour’s in what way? How does bur­den­ing your future gen­er­a­tions with $1billion dol­lars a month in debt for 7 years until the pre­vi­ous cock­ups can be accounted for ever leave the coun­try with a legacy wor­thy of any­thing other than deri­sion? How does bank­rupt­ing the safety net­work that was ACC by turn­ing it into WINZ (II), with the intent that National has no option but to pri­va­tise it so you can then come back in future elec­tions and use it as an exam­ple of Nation­als evil cap­i­tal­ist ways make your gov­ern­ment a great one?
Does your igno­rance know no bounds?
Jus­tify your state­ment with exam­ples of why you believe the state­ment you made is an accu­rate one, and then let the debate begin.

Appar­ently Clarke’s accep­tance of the ONZ is a vio­la­tion of UN rules:

“UN Staff Rule 1.2 “No staff mem­ber shall accept any hon­our, dec­o­ra­tion, favour, gift, or remu­ner­a­tion from any Government….If refusal of an unan­tic­i­pated hon­our, dec­o­ra­tion, favour or gift from a Gov­ern­ment would cause embar­rass­ment to the Orga­ni­za­tion, the staff mem­ber may receive it on behalf of the Orga­ni­za­tion and then report and entrust it to the Secretary-General, who will either retain it for the Orga­ni­za­tion or arrange for its dis­posal for the ben­e­fit of the Orga­ni­za­tion or for a char­i­ta­ble purpose.”

Source: http://www.innercitypress.com/undp3hclark123009.h...

Also inter­est­ing com­ment on this site that Clarke has yet to hold a UN press con­fer­ence since tak­ing over at the UN Devel­op­ment Program.
