In response to #RNZ publishing random reckons I thought this particular reckon deserved a complimentary counter reckon.
Here’s my reckon.
#NZPol PM Luxon is undeniably incompetent but if he is proven to be foolishly arrogant enough to ignore 90+% of the NZ public and pursue this unconstitutional and anti democratic #AtlasNetwork backdoor assault on NZ democracy and sovereignty then he and the National Party will suffer a backlash so severe he will be wishing he was still working as a simple deodorant salesman.
Unlike Luxon, imo, Winston Peters is neither naive or silly enough not to take advantage of this opportunity to poach a large proportional slice of the National and Act voter base and potentially force a snap election.
In conclusion, having watched much of the 30 hours of oral submissions on the #RSB I am honestly surprised by just how little media attention the devastating demolition of Act and in particular #DavidSeymour the Finance and Expenditure Committe has received.
Perhaps the #NZInitiative aka Atlas Network have threatened media with local advertising boycotts? After all the Act Party and its supporters did threaten and dox an active opponent to this legislation, lawyer Tania Waikato, to the extent she required a security escort when attending NZ Parliament to make her oral submission. These are not nice people, they are white collar criminals who operate like the mob.
Meanwhile NZ media suffers a growing distrust in its reporting…. Wonder why?

So do you suppose David Seymour's #Act Party were so keen to have Te Pāti Māori MP's jailed for performing a #haka because they didn't want them present as Seymour & Act attempt to rush their undemocratic and treacherous #RegulatoryStandardsBill through parliament under urgency?
Regardless of whether you support or oppose this treasonous bill, the dismantling of constitutional and democratic parliamentary process should alarm all #NZTwits. Perhaps #DavidSeymour sees this as a way of guaranteeing his ambition of bringing about a #CivilWar in #Aotearoa #NewZealand. #NZPol #AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative #TreatyOfWaitangi #TeTiritiOWaitangi #ToitūTeTiriti

This #MATA investigation into #Act and #DavidSeymour by journalist Mihingarangi Forbes just dropped.
I am only 3 minutes in but it looks like it's got a bit to reveal. #AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative #TaxPayersUnion #NZPol #CDNpoli #IndigenousRights #TiritiOWaitangi #TreatyPrinciplesBill

@ArrestJK @AnneleiseHall @scattermutant
The recent exposure of NZ groups operating under the control of the #AtlasNetwork umbrella such as the #NZInitiative #TaxPayersUnion and #FreeSpeechUnion is helping wake up many NZers to the threat of multi national corporate control of #NZPol and policies. #DavidSeymour 's Treaty Principles Bill has helped shine a light on the ACTlas Network Party's treacherous motives.

It’s well past time the disproportionate influence of the #AtlasNetwork and affiliate member groups like #NZTPU and #NZInitiative on #NZPol policy, underfunding of government departments and #TeTiriti legitimacy was exposed. The threat to #NewZealand independence and democracy by foreign interest interfering with domestic politics is very real but the silence from #NZMedia also points to complicity.

CW: Election interference
@benchaotica @AnneleiseHall
US based RW global organisation #TheAtlasNetwork whose NZ members include the #NZInitiative and the #TaxPayersUnion are behind the #Groundswell astroturf group. The other morning I texted #RNZ #MorningReport asking why they didn’t declare Stuff’s political editor Luke Malpass’ association with the Atlas Network. NZs very democracy is being dismantled by big $. #NZPol -
CW: NZ Politics, Attack adverts
@Kay And the anti #3Waters anti Māori anti Tiriti o Waitangi and anti democracy astroturf groups active in #NewZealand are all being directed and in part funded by the US Far Right lobbying organisation the #AtlasNetwork which both the NZ #TaxPayersUnion and #NZInitiative are members of. I certainly would prefer US style attack ads made by NZers than anti NZ democracy ads made by the US. Are #NZMedia wilfully ignorant? #NZPol
