Taito Phillip Field and the political arm of the Destiny Church are exploring forming an alliance.

Church founder Brian Tamaki met with the former Labour MP at a forum in his Mangere electorate last night.

Destiny New Zealand leader Richard Lewis says it is early days, but he thinks Mr Field's electorate could be fertile ground. He says many Pacific people in Mangere are questioning their support for a Labour Party they believe has abandoned their traditional values.

Mr Lewis says Destiny New Zealand and Mr Field share common ground, including Christian values and a desire to see Labour fall at the next election. He says discussions are at an early stage and the next step will be up to Mr Field.



Well well well, it appears that Mr Tamaki may get his foot into politics after all.....

The government is demanding that all of its labour MPs vote for Sue Bradford's Bill, which will see the repeal of section 59. Helen Clark has liken it to being the same as when corporal punishment was revoked in schools.

There are currently 2 bills before parliament, that would allow retailers to trade on Easter Friday and Easter Sunday, and MPs will be allowed to vote according to their conscience.

Ok, we have one bill that has the potential to criminalise hard working parents, who seek to disipline their child, and ensure their kid grows up with some awareness that there are consequences for their actions, and Ministers have to vote for the bill whether they agree with it or not........

Then...


..............There is bills before the house that will allow retail shops to be open 364 days of the year, take away two stat holidays from 300,000 of the working population. Potentially splitting up familes and putting more stress on them. And the MPs are allowed to vote anyway they damm well please.


Aunty Helen, your priorities are totally screwed up

Spoke with my brother in law last night in the UK. Apparently UK has had the smacking bill for a while, and it hasn't really made a major difference over there. Ordinary parental discipline doesn't get punished.....

I don't know, I stand by what I said though it wont make one iota of different to the sodding knobs who have no issues with hurting children
