why are you resorting to insults? And bombast? In your criticism? With no substance. Then leap to saying New Zealanders will revert to violence? No we won’t. You do the left no favours with the stupidity of your commentary
I haven't read Veitch's article but i was interested to read about it in this thread because just last week there was an article in our local paper about the woman he assaulted in this case. The article never mentioned this incident, his name, her ...
+1 Observer “Given that so much of world business is owned by Corporations, I feel that Ratification of the proposed TPPA Agreement be stalled until the needs of the public are clearly and robustly put ahead of the protection of resource rich Corporates.” ...
Thank you for posting on this issue - intellectual property in relation to farming and food production is of huge concern to all New Zealanders. One of my big concerns about the TPPA is that it diminishes New Zealand's protections against large scale ...
Have a look - all of the world's money markets in one visualisation, it's staggering: http://money.visualcapitalist.com/all-of-the-worlds-money-and-markets-in-one-visualization/ To help us comprehend the massive numbers (billions, trillions, quadrillions),...
I agree, the article 'Why This Slump Has Legs' was brilliant, one of my top three reads on Monday. I shared it round the members of the 'missing million' I have personally committed to trying to enlighten. Thanks for posting here Paul. I agree with Murray ...
The right would pull out a big-ass can of "Labour does it too" and forever refer back to the example, to justify their own nasty behaviour. Better to be true to ourselves and continue to rise above it.
I agree with Matthew

Yes, these calves were going to be raised as Bulls. The NAIT system was made compulsory in July, it's been a bit confusing, still new. I agree that the response from MPI was completely inadequate.
I picked up and transported some bobbies for a neighbour in August. They were tagged with NAITS, I've just checked the photos I took of them at the time. They were 14 day olds, well treated, housed in covered yards when I picked them up and same at the ...
I admit to being a Listener reader and a current events/political economy geek ...that column from Diana Wichtel had me laughing out loud, literally crying with laughter. What else is there to do, the decline in our MSM has been so sad. Since reading Dirty...
Don't worry, b, we will be borrowing the money. It's National. At just over a hundred bucks per household per year, that's over $161 million per year, for the next 13 years, based on 2013 census data on number of households. What are we spending that on ...

Hi Penny, in answer to your question, where is/has been the public debate... In this case, IHC started out as a protest group in the 1960s. Started by parents who were advocating for their own kids to be allowed to grow up in their own families and ...

I think an important factor is the level of data this government has on the population (I'm talking polling, focus grouping and data analysis). Imagine how powerful you could be if you had been in power for seven years (long enough to 'profile' various ...

Interesting. Probably no great loss though, it's pretty pointless asking Key anything if you want a genuine answer. After the dead cat rapists & 'molesterers' [sic] fiasco, it occurred to me that the combined opposition should just stop directing questions...
Ummm, because there's a War on Truth?

I would support public education and health promotion over taxation. The messages to promote could include for example 1. portion sizes (there used to be a ministry of health poster visually depicting healthy portion sizes against a pack of playing cards -...
At first I thought he needed a speech therapist. When it didn't improve over time, I figured he must be a drunk. Now I think it's deliberate. From a 2008 article 'Who is John Key': 'The only tangible sense in which Key asserted a persona of his own was in ...
Key said 'one or two individuals were very threatening and want to carry out attacks in New Zealand, but were unlikely to do so' (NZH article) It defies credibility that authorities can't get enough 'firm evidence' to take action, despite undertaking '24/7...

That's the great thing about the 'investment approach' - one person's mould-filled government owned death trap is another person's 'Double A rated government guaranteed investment product'. This new language worries me more than the posturing about taking ...
I was in a job where there were limits to freedom of expression, association, etc. Not a 'corporate' job, but one with a social service-providing NGO, supposedly committed to 'challenging evil, injustice and oppression'. Oh, and other goals like ...
