Over at NZ's far-right barometer known as "kiwiblog", lord of the fries David Farrar is busy picking over the minor details of Wellington's green Mayor's spending.
Apparently Celia is recommending the availability of ball room dancing training for city councilors. Now - the Wellington City Council's spending is projected to be $352 million over the next year. So we're looking at an area which may involve 0.00001% of spending here - yet for some reason David is concentrating on this as the area of spending that needs to be critiqued.
I also recall that David composed a post some time back, concentrating fully on teachers organisations using school class rooms as a place to meet after school hours. Apparently this is a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars - as carpets will inevitably be worn quicker due to the notoriously abrasive shoe soles that teachers inevitably use (helps them waste taxpayer dollars - which all teachers love to do).
This is NZ's most read right wing blog. What does this say about the right wing of NZ politics? Well i'll leave that up to you, the reader to decide.
