David Shearer as Leader could well be preparing the ground for a change of government. He would have been as soundly beaten as Cunliffe in last election but woud have bided his time in preparation for his turn. There will be no turn for Little.
I work happily on a zero hours contract as I am not the main breadwinner in my family. Could my employer now be punished in a court of law? Will I be forced underground to continue my quest to provide a little extra for my family. This was a means of ...
The next Labour govt will owe a great debt of gratitude to educational unions NZEI and PPTA, as they singularly have been the most vocal and effective opponent of the current Government. I know they're not affiliated Unions but I do expect their support to...
Have they also banned pharmaceutical products manufactured using GE plants? I'm kinda attached to Insulin these days and would still like to visit HB one day.
Most 18-65 adults work for wages which are rising. This is happening whilst our Trade Union movt is at its least potent and while Labour party seem to be largely missing in action. I'ts silly for Labour to have a Trade Unionist as leader while no one can ...
I heard of a vicious prisoner assault at a Christchurch prison today. But for some reason the report did not state if the prison was run by the State or by a private company. Can someone enlighten me please?
So do we get to pick up fallen trees and mill them or what?
Hate Pagani . . . hate . . . hate. . . hate . . . evil tory . . . . . hate . . . hate . . . AAAhhhh that's feels better. Now we can enforce some social equality around here.
The possibility of a green coalition is a deal-breaker for a great many. I think some commenters here need to get out more.
Hi Millsey. I think we have moved on from the 70's early 80's regarding Health and safety. In a potentially dangerous workplace it now comes as first priority.
Man U's league position can be compared to NZ Labour party recent polling. A tale of two Davids, Cunliffe and Moyes, although I think only one of these will be back on top by 2017 . Was a nice comment from swordfish about the great Bill Shankley. I well ...
Lily livered scousers is not what you should call your comrades. Scouse militants provided the muscle, the backbone and the go forward for Labour movement in UK. Ever heard of flying pickets (mostly liverpudlians) Once it became obvious that no worker ...
After rampant Trade Unionism of 70's 80's is good to see scousers with something to smile about. Once the bitter employment battles ended it was so sad to see a once vibrant city decline to crime and welfare. After the Union leaders and politicians bailed ...
France?
This is the thin end of the wedge. OMOV today, electoral financing disclosure tomorrow. Whatever next?
I could "earn" $60.00/week by reproducing. Why not just take less tax off me. Seems a bit silly really.
Well spotted. Its not gonna happen is it! Ithink we can call this policy an advertising slogan more than something more concrete.
It was Len Brown who put Labour party into disrepute. The shock jocks just made it worse.
Bill and Melinda Gates seem to be doing a good job stopping spread of AIDS in Africa. Maybe once the evil AIDS is dealt with he can help out UN Development program. Their struggles against poverty seems to have stalled with still not one person fed or ...
"From the movement that brought you equal pay, the weekend, minimum wages, child protection laws, injury prevention, the right to organise …" Yes but has the Labor movement brought us anything beneficial this century?
Can anyone tell me Winston's attitude to the re-nationalisation of power companies.
Jones = Votes . He wowed the crowds in Taranaki with his attack on the greens anti energy stance.
Just give your party back to the workers. All will come right after that.
New Plymouth is lost to Labor. Cuddling up to Greens in energy land while parachuting Andrew "do a runner" Little as candidate for last election both bad mistakes and will not be forgotten.
Why are authors anonymous? [lprent: If you can't read the about then you really are kind of illiterate. Of course I could *educate* you, but just at present I'm more likely to ban you for diversion trolling and wasting my time. Perhaps you should use your ...
You guys seem to have an hobbitual dislike of our fine PM :)
Graph shows a confirmed downward trend from 2003. I would be interested in any data that would explain this
Greens are sexy. They got dolphins and rainbows and have attractive young ladies doorknocking for support. Anyone for a Shearer, Goff, Mallard, King. Moroney, Fenton Government.?..... Anybody?
Well done Deano. You win the cigar :)
Warehouse retail staff earn already many times the hourly rate of the factory workers who make the stuff they sell. I wanted to point out this anomaly as I'm not so sure we can call this a victory for the little guy.
Hi Lefties. Would anyone like to tell me what happens to low income kiwis when India and China implement similar policies. After all they've got our factory jobs, may as well have our policies too hey?
