Rob is relatively politically active as an investor and as part of several industry bodies.
This to me feels more like opportunism.
If I have it right Rob and David differ over climate change for a start.
At least I hope that’s the case, given the way this government is subsidising inaction and pollution and started throwing individuals most affected by the consequences such as flooding, under the bus. If you ignore a bunch of your future costs everything is fine! Bye, bye Tokelau!
Anyway, anyone rich enough to be investing to any great degree is involved in politics. In fact, everyone should be as citizens of a democracy.
The question of whether this has any party political implications for Rob’s future as a politician remain unanswered, but don’t feel enormously relevant? I feel like this is something that’ll help keep the Nix going.
We had the Fever with John Key early doors, Grant Robertson was often seen in the stands and the current PM was up with Auckland FC for their first game. None of that particularly helps the academy, whereas this should?
Edit: To answer your question ImaNix, yes, it’s all those things, but look at it another way- if a political party that was doing its 3 years offers free Nix memberships you’d take one right?
This is something that’s available and will benefit the Phoenix. It could be part of a number of campaigns, benefiting a number of causes. Or it could be the Nix going- an easy to set up system with lots of free cherries and biscuits thrown in to ensure people like it? Sure why not?
There was talk about Rob becoming a politician, but he hasn’t announced anything yet, so I’m assuming that until he does he’s representing the Phoenix. Maybe it’s naive. Maybe I’m older and not living in NZ anymore. But maybe it is just that?
