@TheZeitgeistNZ What is shows is that Winston doesn't believe this stuff on the India FTA. Note he made sure he was out of the Country when Modi visited only arriving back almost 24yrs after Modi had gone. Its just like his Chinese stuff in the 1990s. He cant do China anymore.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@TheRedbaiter It is as you say truly shocking. Look at the UNDRIP stuff in trade treaties. MFAT need a clearly out if some of their recent retirees are anything to go by.

@jetgalnz I would argue that any degree from Massey Uni could well fall into the category of fakery - most of the academics don't seem to be up to much.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@EerykMcRae I would argue that the highest development of civilisation in free liberal democracies is to value individuals as such. Its possible to be born in India and make a positive contribution to NZ should they come here. Who comes here is a second order issue.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@EerykMcRae So India does not have developmental stages like say European states. I think most NZ Indians know about sewage treatment and rubbish collection.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@NZXVoice @chrisluxonmp No only can you not read but you cannot listen either. No one said Indian NZers were better than anyone else but rather on average they DO better than the average NZer in terms of income, educational attainment etc.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@EerykMcRae You mean like the UK until the late Georgians/early Victorians especially in London.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@EnokaPoere But Indians presumably do not come to NZ for Indian culture (s) they have that already in India.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@EnokaPoere Actually NZ is a more dynamic interesting country over my lifetime. It’s not obvious what societal decline it is that concerns you and how this is linked to Indian immigration. But you are fearful.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@Eastandbays @EMA_Nrthn it would help if the Association itself identified a preliminary list of such industries. The fact that it has not means it is probably not serious on this point.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@EnokaPoere What’s the problem Indians are by and large excellent immigrants to NZ. What are you so fearful about.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@nzpoliticsgroup What nonsense: Indians and Chinese are under represented in most NZ crime stats (Maori over represented). What is it that do you do no get about being a primary products exporting country.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@Tasmanviews In indicates how utterly tin-eared the CCP great man dictatorship is to the opinion of those they seek to influence. It emphasises that PRC neighbours are right to get serious about individual defence capability and collective defense.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@1nzmw The Indian Govt has already been asked in NZ about this. According to them its aspirational. According to them there will be no consequence for not meeting the target. Try keeping up.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@berniesoares Dingbat nonsense.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@dellavaris Yes you are so dim it is hard to tell whether you are actually awake.

[Chris Diack @DiackChris]

@EnokaPoere You spout jargon. Tell me when NZ had "liberal" immigration setting in the last 30yrs. There has been 33% decline in family owned farms but its mostly consolidation to bigger family owned farms and corporates. Try some facts instead of mere spouting.
