Random follow #172 - @transparency_a1

Coming straight up the guts and giving it full throttle is today's random kiwi tweeter - @transparency_a1.  This is a no holds barred account that gives it to you full blast.  Full blast all about the issues of the day.  Mostly about political issues and keeping our MPs honest.

This account is a very thought provoking one.  Because its not about lobbying for one side or the other. Rather the way I see it is that  @transparency_a1 calls the issues for what they are and wants to ensure that anyone and everyone gets a fair deal.  And he will quite happily rail against any party if they are seen to be playing games with the truth.


I have no idea what Andre does for a job but I do know he is very astute and highly intelligent. What I really like is that he doesn't just go around beating a drum and tweeting the same arguments over and over.  Rather he brings a fresh argument to the table.  A different way of looking at the same situations we look at but he seems them differently.

And he is not afraid to ask the questions that need to be asked.  Such as -

"As climate change has more effect on the public morality of big business.Will flying half way round the world to a conference be acceptable?"  Seriously.  Every company needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves if they are truly being honest with themselves about their commitment to sustainability.

"650 billion in subsidies of coal companies ww.We are selling hydropower to pay for coal! 100 million set aside for loss making solid energy"  Ladies and gentlemen these are issues that most of us stick our heads in the sand over and yet these are the real financial issues of the day.

"Predistribution Is the best tool for a good government. #wealthequality"  Keeping the politicians honest is not easy.  Its even harder if you are a lone voice in the twitterverse.

@transparency_a1 is a very prolific tweeter.  Andre doesn't mince his words, calls an issue for what it is and will stretch your thinking about the issues of the day.  So if you're looking for someone who will challenge you, keep you on your toes and will make you think about the world a bit differently - then @transparency_a1 is the tweeter you are looking for.
