Yea day smashed it
You don't even understand the word robust. Weaklings like you never achieve anything in politics.
Treasury are as usual wrong in their forecasts. It will be 7% by end 2024. If you're not aware of windows being smashed you simply have no idea about political life at all.
Also shoutout to Mickey for the heartfelt post. The fire still burns brother.
We don't need to wonder. Shaw got punched in the head just outside. At Foreshore and Seabed hikoi 2004 there were a good few Labour MPs who faced up to that roaring crowd, right to their face. The moment it got a bit far is when a few thousand occupied ...
Stop being such a wet poodle. Why are the right so weak when they're challenged? 7,000 public servants down and counting, rapidly heading from 3 to 6% unemployed inside 12 months. Expect emotion at large scale. In the 1930s this government would have had ...
Just horseshit. We have one of the politest Parliaments in the world. We need more rudeness and fight not less.
That NZFirst donation haul of just $1.8 million and still gets over 6% has to be a super-efficient vote-per-dollar equation. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/election-donations-national-party-raises-massive-104-million-haul-in-donations-for-election/...
With Tangi Utikere barely visible, Genter is by a long way our most important opposition MP in transport. We need more like Genter who are matching the outrage of this government with outrage of their own.
We have had since the late 1980s a public service that is under-led and poorly resourced, with no cross-departmental strategy or even an attempt at it, disaggregated by deep funder-policy-provider spits, under-regulated or worse self-regulating, ...
When our MPs on the Inter Parliamentary Alliance on China are hacked, by China together with our leading China security expert, and our own agency doesn't have the guts to actually inform them, it's probably time for Clark and Carr to just front up and ...
Also HRL Morrison at that level is a whole bunch more useful to the world than Shaw getting recycled into a government entity like NZSuperFund or ACC. Shaw is one of the few elected members on either side of the house who operate outside the Wellington ...
Labour should propose a full dfence Treaty with Australia. We are near fully interoperable already. So it sounds a lot bolder than it is. Well overdue to re-write the 1944 Canberra Pact.
That's a natural step for Shaw. And a strong signal from HRL Morrisons that the sustainability investor truly values policy expertise inside their management entity. Their investment themes are here: Innovative Investing with Morrison: Alternative Asset ...
"seeing"
Just seeking major US universities cave on this is truly sad. Lest one forgets the number of armed civilians patrolling US streets in utes after the 2020 election.
Hipkins has taken on a most formidable opponent in Winston Peters. Live: Chris Hipkins says Winston Peters’ has ‘embarrassed the country’ with remarks | Stuff Hipkins will have been begging for this kind of fight when Labour arranged for the foreign ...
Imagine what Auckland would look like with a "levelling up agenda". There are 20 Councillors serving 1,700,000 people. That's 1 elected member for every 85,000 people. Auckland has 31,000 state housing units, a waiting list of 25,000 nationally and over 10...
In 6 months National have made more people unemployed than Labour did in a term. Can't wait to see their next economic rebuild move.
Monthly pay as PM.
How many of us could hand our pay rise to charity? How many of us got pay rises since COVID? How high an elite is Luxon actually?
If there isn't a strong groundswell to hold this Minister to account in front of the Waitangi Tribunal, my bet is ACT's Treaty Principles Bill will shoot up the legislative agenda. Luxon will view the low political cost as capital worth spending. This is ...
Looks like good planning by Luxon to keep her engaged in Wellington on governance, rather than entertaining a run at the Auckland mayoralty.
That's a very big confession Phillip. Well done for fighting hard through it and being still here.
" How to kill off debt without selling your favourite classic car or treasured artwork" Headline in NZHerald today which perfectly reflects our massive food bank lines in a recession.
You don't have to wait for the next Scottish election. On May 2nd - 2 weeks time - there's the next British election. So you can test whether UK reports about gender self-identification really do change votes. Or not.
The question to Hipkins changed not a single vote. Same question could have been put to any NZ political leader and it would still have no effect at all.
It must be perplexing for this government that the Consumer Price Index remains stubbornly above 4.5%, interest rates have no schedule at all for coming down, and consumer confidence is the worst it's been since the 2008-9 GFC. Their austerity has cratered...
It's a tribunal populated by judges. The Minister is showing herself incapable of engaging seriously with experts who are also jurists, within her own Ministerial portfolio field. Chhour is a fucking coward. She will get utterly mocked at Matariki.
Our own Green Party delivered massive legislation and policy programmes from a fairly small position last term. Neither NZ Greens nor any other party are revisiting the Birth Deaths and Marriages Act and nor will they ever: dead issue for all our political...
In 2018 Labour were at 21% and tanked to a low of 12%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1225498/scotland-holyrood-voting-intention/ As of now they are on 32% and rising, with SNP on 34% and falling fast. Greens are at 4% which is about where they were ...
