Ah, youve got to give it hand it to the New Zealand National - TopicsExpress



          

Ah, youve got to give it hand it to the New Zealand National Party. They sure do know how to be a bunch of manipulative suss cunts. Don Brash stepped down as leader of the National Party in November 2006, the day before the release of investigative journalist, Nicky Hagers book The Hollow Men. Award-winning documentary maker Alister Barry (Someone Elses Country, In a Land of Plenty) brings this exposé of behind-the-scenes politics in an all-too-real political thriller. Watch the Brash team develop and then put into effect their plans to win the 2005 general election. Once in power they intended to complete the radical right transformation of New Zealand society - their unfinished business from the 1980s and 1990s. Helped by Australian and American political strategists, and funded by big business and a tiny elite of the super rich, the Brash team deftly played the race card, the immigration card, the tax cut card and dog whistle politics, in an attempt to influence so-called soft voters. Based on thousands of confidential emails, reports and memos written by Bash and his closest advisers, The Hollow Men is an extraordinary story of unprincipled and anti-democratic politics. youtube/watch?v=0NBQSU9btnw&feature=youtu.be
