Thread: Tauranga meeting with National 5th Dec

Meeting on Dec 5th, 7 pm I think, Jack Hinton Room Greerton RSA

are these the same turkeys that have been shafting us for yonks

Is that room at the RSA fitted with scuppers?...otherwise people need to wear waders, the bull shit would be too deep for gumboots.

Who is going to be there from National?
I think we need to engage meaningfully with them regardless of any personal thoughts. I believe we need as many people on our side rather than rarking them up and disenfranchising them.
The other posts on here regarding David Seymour are to be commended and I know there are some National MP's who are livid with the actions taken by this govt. We need to harness that energy. The law looks like it will go through in March however the talk I have had with my MP is that National are eyeing up a possibility of changing the law back to a degree once in power. David Seymour's reported responses at his public meetings is a good source of intentions and at this stage that is all we have to rely on. I'd rather be seen trying and planning for some semblance of reality. National will need ACT as NZ First is not an option after the up and coming election. The trend to party Vote Act with your local MP choice open to your personal views seems logical.

Bridges, Hudson, Muller. Time to tell them the truth?

He'll yeah, Hudson got the message here quite clearly but also came back with things will never go back to what they were

We need to re enforce the message that the continued process of police making up rules and regs and the continued political harrassment of its law abiding citizens is completely undemocratic.

Any other topic / subject would be the base of a referendum but the legislation is now going too far without any political opposition to give it balance.

Anyone going?

Yep with a few others, 6:30pm for a 7pm start

Give them shit Maca.

Say hello from me

@Maca49.Please ask them on my behalf why my Grandfathers, great uncles, father, uncles were gassed, shot, shelled, starved, strafed and crippled and deprived of what should have been the best years of their lives; only to have the current parliament shit on their sacrifices, priciples and memory. Thanks, Woody

Was an interesting night, My feelings are, they are still just coming to realise what has happened to law abiding FAL citizens. None of the three present had an FAL. There was a fair amount of political bullshit for the vote. They will help us with repealing some of the actions imposed by the current arse holes, BUT as Simon said "we need to realise, NO govt will every go back to the old days" I got the feeling they still have a fear of firearms, he called them "weapons" and was corrected. They would reverse some of the ability to own "nasty" firearms for competition shooting under NZ pistol admin, ie B cat, Id really look forward to those draconian rules, but better than nothing? maybe, but you ain't taking them deer hunting etc.. They would look at dumping the cops role in administrating firearms, that's a positive.
They got their beans from many speakers, overall, good on them for fronting, what has happened is past, they will not support the new laws unless their "13 points for change" are accepted, they are keen for input on those 13 points, check their web site, and will consider extending them if you guys give the help with want you see needing to be added.

Hell i didnt think you were listening @Maca49.
Pretty good recall!
It is important for anyone wanting to use their vote as a political tool to read and understand those 13 points, they are available from Nats.

Sounds very similar to what ben Waimata and i heard we hudson spoke here. They are consistent at least.
We were told they were happy the way Nash and the police were bungling this buyback as it would make their job that bit easier at next election. Seems he's giving them all the assistance he possibly can.
