If the case manager (and her desk) could be seen from the reception area, then why on earth didn't that dozy receptionist simply walk over there??
I'm replying to my own post because for some reason there was no reply tag under yours. For your information, LPrent, I have been a consultant to more than a dozen government departments in the last three decades, and have had a close up view of how policy...
What's weather got to do with this topic? That's just demonstrating your irrational prejudice against another city. Government agencies provide what the ministers want, and if they don't they are overruled. God knows that point has been made on this ...
Just a reminder to those that blame "Wellington" for government decisions, that NINE (9) of the 20 ministers in cabinet are from Auckland, and only ONE (1), Finlayson, is from Wellington. In addition, the National ministers Upston and Adams are Aucklanders...
I think she may have meant to say "Lower class act". He was a dreadful PITA with his arrogant interjections. Altogether too much in love with himself. Ms Fox and James Shaw were impressive. The Not Peter Dunne guy was as good as could be expected. I ...
Him AND Prebble. Heard you the first time, chaps, and you were wrong then, too.
In a just world, hurricanes will wait till after Trump leaves office before demolishing Mar-a-Lago. Because if they do so while he is making a de facto White House out of it, he'll find a way of making the government pay for a lavish rebuild of it.
I had to buy my own crutches, as the hospital was unable to locate a matching pair for me. They could only find one silver and one dark green one. A fashionista of my standing was not about to be seen in THAT combo. I also bought my own wheelchair and ...
I imagine they could, if your supporters owned supermarkets or were on eg the NZ Food & Grocery Council. Which might cover both types of coupon.
Well put, tc, this is a "sorry I was caught out" whinge. Feel like a shower? He IS a shower.
SIS leave no stone unturned in the hunt for Rawshark.
Whilst there are some Chinese values I would not mind to see figuring more prominently in New Zealand life - respecting and taking care of the elderly, and respect for education, for just two examples - the purchasing of influence this describes is just ...
Wonder how they got their hands on Sir Ed's property? He probably donated it to charity, as he was a pretty staunch Labour supporter. A Citizen for Rowling, no less.
Brian Edwards DID stand for Labour in Miramar, he did not withdraw. He managed to lose the safeish Labour seat despite a swing to Labour nation wide. He was living with another woman while still married, as the front page of Truth pointed out. The ...
Ad, you overlook that any incoming Labour government is likely to have tax expert Deborah Russell aboard. She and Grant R will be a formidable team. I'm looking (hopefully) forward to it.
Thanks for that. I'm surprised that the Spinoff would publish such a lobbying article by a consultant or contractor with vested interests. Not a million miles from the Whaleoil treatment, it seems.
These two blokes seem to bring out the worst in each other. Old fashioned bullies, out where we can all see them. Not doing their cause any favours at all.
Queues at WINZ? It's all by appointment these days. No queues whatsoever. I'd hate to see any ad you made. It would associate your party with every negative image you could think of, and would be half an hour long. I think the ad makers knew what they were...
I agree. And my feminism dates back more than 60 years (I'm not counting childhood) and I can spot sexism from 100 metres away in the dark. People are are seizing on any pitiful excuse to shriek sexism. They should learn the language they are supposedly ...
You are correct, mikesh, and Cleangreen does not understand English metaphor. Morgan was talking about a superficial spruce up for the Labour party, but a lot of wallies looking for an excuse to criticise him have shouted Sexism! and had a fit of the ...
When he was Assoc. Minister for the Environment (?Lange? and/or just Palmer administrations?) he worked hard at the construction stage of the Resource Management Act and did not want to see its protective clauses watered down so that developers and miners ...
I liked Twyford's ability to speak calmly and distinctly despite the interviewer's trying to do the debate at top speed in the hopes that one of the interviewees would make a mistake under pressure. That is a technique that that show's presenter uses all ...
We have all been witnesses to rape -- by a government of its own country. We must publicise this material as far as we can. Thanks so much to the author for the extent of this research.
Good question, when it comes to hand sanitisers, many of which contain microbeads. Given that these are used when one does not have access to soap and water, are they considered wash-off or not? They do get washed off eventually, though probably the beads ...
The Green party billboard I saw had James Shaw on his own. So some are ready!
Drove from the Bay of Plenty to Wellington region today and saw approximately a zillion National party billboards. All over the North Island like a blue rash. Saw one Maori party, two Green party and only half a dozen Labour party ones. Now I know farmers ...
I see Stuff is running a spirited defence of Mike Hosking written by none other than Bill Ralston. The shills are alive, with the sound of schmoozing.....
Mihi would be my choice, too. Talks like a grown up and knows when to shut up.
+1, RG
So protest individually to the channel's major advertisers. In large numbers, or they will ignore you. They will certainly ignore petitions. Always have, always will.
Very well observed. It's a continuum of bullying, and it's time we confronted the bullies. I challenge this nonsense wherever I see it. But I am old and don't have to work for a living -- I quite understand if not everyone has the same freedom of ...
