I give credit to Ardern as pm and leader of my former beloved labour party for March 15 because that was exactly wanted from a leader I live a few hundreds of meters away from the mosque in linwood and she was a beacon of light but let's be real socially ...
National being open to supporting it tells us everything. Labour needs to increase pensions and benefits. They won't because theybelieve in everything national believes in but with a nicer smile. All we are gonna get is the same kinda statistical musical ...
It should be for people who earn under 70 k a year not under 120 k a year as a single and 180 as a couple. What classist garbage. It goes to show that labour well and truly doesn't give a damn about the working class and is only interested in the middle to...
For awhile I thought the reason Labour had been so quiet on the National implosion was cos Jacindas a class act, and while she may be let's be honest the real reason Labour can't comment on National selling list seats to foreign powers is because the ...
I love that we live in a multicultural society however as an lgbt+ who campaigned to more than tripple the refugee quota I gotta say any immigrant or refugee who is homophobic,transphobic, sexist,racist,holds theocratic veiws or treats their children like ...
Wouldn't it be great if Politicals could simply admit when they messed up rather than going to attack mode? Whether by accident or not I believe she misled parliament here and her response to it was classic john key. Remember Key , the guy we attacked for ...
Interesting timing for the texts Jacinda sent to the former potent tech officer. Clearly a sabotage to make her look weak on the international stage. When Jacinda said "I didn't even send him an emoji" she misled the house. No ifs ands or buts she was I'm ...
I had a dream where Jacinda Ardern spoke about class issues last night. ... I mean I knew it was a dream when someone from Labour was talking about poverty without using the word child before it, in my dream the coalition govt outlined a target, actual ...
Sorry? New? What's new about this? She's not saying anything new here? It's almost the exact same hopes and dreams sugar sweet speech with no actual policy or plan other than good intentions that we campaigned on in 2017. A year in and the transformational...
Sad. Miss him on tv, he was great during the debates, quakes and while he did some fluff he talked about poverty, the gcsb bill more than any other kiwi journalist. The project is garbage non news. The fact he was hated by labour and national supporters ...
It's days like this we are reminded that it's not a labour government but a full Labour/NZF coalition govt. Both parties promised many things that they cant possibly deliver under this arrangement. Nzf is anti immigration conservative nationalist party it ...
This is a disaster :( If there's any slither of truth to the alegations of bullying or violence she should be kicked out of the party,out of parliament. Two ministers in two weeks. Luckily it'll blow over but cmon. Ardern showed bad judgment with Curran (...
https://theconversation.com/amp/poll-wrap-worst-reaction-to-midterm-pm-change-in-newspoll-history-contrary-polls-in-duttons-dickson-102186 looks more and more likely we'll have labour governments on both sides of the tasman next year!
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/106620364/national-wants-chelsea-manning-barred-from-new-zealand weren't national the champions of free speech last month? I guess they don't like her cos she exposes governments instead of scapegoating minorities
She needed extra security because she was flocked toby numbers of people I'd never seen before in nz politics. Even her security guards became somewhat famous. That said I do kinda feel that the party should pay for travel if it's for campaigning not ...
A sixth pm in 8 years!!!!!! Lololol Turnbull hasn't won a poll in over two years so I can see why he'd be rolled but imo its not the party's place to fire the pm it's the country's , this goes for every party. I do get a giggle out of the coalition being ...
There is no happy ending to humanity. We're not going to organize. We're not going to get rid of capitalism and even if we do its already too late, We are going to die out and probably closer to 20-50 years than a hundred... what we are gonna do is ..... ...
I didn't even finish high school so I'm making a very dumb comment here obviously but it does worry me that people are starting to take a stance where you can't criticize religion. I think Southerns involvement in blocking refugees should be enough to ...
They are bigots but Nazis? I think not. I've had many debates over this visit and one thing that really bugs me is liberals seem to now be defenders of religion. People who called for Southerns banning who I've spoken to say they would ban Richard Dawkins ...
I don't understand why we have a labour led govt if they won't do things that labour led govts are elected to do, and don't blame NZF it's labours own cowardice When this government was formed it promised systemic change. So far it has a D- score on ...
The polls are great? We are in second place with simon f-ing bridges led nation in first (i know its mmp but still nothing to bloody celebrate) and our bffs the greens have been polling at 5% and everyone knows they always get 2% less than what they poll. ...
To be hinest let them speak so people can see how weak their arguments are, theyve been made out to be much more intelligent than they really are in both sides. I hate what they have to say, but as a 20 something LGBT person who knows his history it was ...
The next election is no slam dunk for labour. You forget that Labour has left their tax conversation until 2020 and after the local elections the petrol tax will go nationwide and will anger everyone. the next election will be a referendum on tax and ...
I wouldn't cry if Winston suprises me, I'd be pleasantly surprised. Except I have accepted we lost the election and that winstons at heart a conservative and that he'll more than likely side with the conservatives. So I won't cry either way. Last time I ...
He's meeting with National literally before just before the announcement, look at Bills body language and look how Jacinda dodges the camera's. Hes going National. Jacinda should have walked away on Monday leaving nzf with no options and no power and she ...
The poll tonight will be a national slanted one . We all need to Get off the computers and start door knocking NOW. Get your mates your family everyone to vote and vote red/red or green/red. There's too much at stake. Lets do this
Me here too. Felt disloyal as hell but i knew the greens staying in parliament was more important for my party and im deadset against the TPP. The patting on the back of greenies giving their electorate vote green is a kick in the guts to anyone doing it ...
I tactically party voted green to keep them in parliament, bloody shame the greens cant do the same in the electorates. Utopian dreaming isn't going to deliver any change. I cant believe the arrogance of the people who claim ti care about poverty. I have ...
Last nights poll was the factor of this Labour supporter shifting to the greens. I think it's the duty of everyone who wants a center left govt to party vote green atm. If the greens go, not only does a talented caucus,not only is it a sign that climate ...
No a millennial who is sick and tired of coward politicals who wont say how they feel i don't believe for a second shes so backwards she thinks putting stoners in rehab is ok. Labours policy is to literally put stoners in rehab and no benifit fraud isn't ...
Jacinda needs to stop saying nationals doing so marvelous. Also wtf was she saying about throwing stoners in rehab!?! Tax evasion and benifit fraud aren't equal one costs us billions some of her answers make me think she's just another John Key.
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
