Sorry, a bit busy and can't look at the documents yet but can someone comment on whether something like variable network pricing would work beautifully and maximise returns for a public-private partnership?
Goff on Auckland transport and Twyford on Auckland housing achievements coming up next
Hone pointing out the difficult, challenging issues that afflict the poor and disengaged might turn out to create a bit of Sanders effect and progressive profile for himself that some Labour stalwarts would prefer to do without and not deal with.
Only you wish it to be so. Do you actually know each of them and have heard how they think and speak? Grant is shaping to be a Helen Clark and Michael Cullen combined. James has deep and broad experience from the business consultancy sector.
No surprise that Winston is the most effective. He has been a Parliamentarian for a long time and is very experienced and knowledgeable. While I haven't looked up the dates, Winston would have been an MP when the current Labour Leader was merely still in ...
Look, Labour members just need to trust their MPs to do the right thing. The outcome would have been the same anyway. Just quicker and more decisive for the caucus to appear strong.
There's always a bit of movement between the two parties, give and take. The vital issue is to ensure each leverage from the other to campaign in a complementary way to increase the Labour-Green bloc exponentially over the next few months. Grant will be ...
Yes, Grant and James are friends. I know each pretty well and they will both make a great team of Finance Minister and Deputy Finance Minister.
What?? That surely can't be correct. I thought Labour members at their LECs and regional meetings have already voted on withdrawing from the CGT idea, on leaving superannuation issues to a process after the election as Grant said, on not talking about tax ...
:-)
John Key and the National Party do not need and definitely do not want an inquiry. Can everyone please stop going on about the Panama Papers and NZ?!
"This will all end in tears" - quoting my very good friend who was once press secretary to a Minister.
Wouldn't surprise me if Winston and NZF are polling very well and will register more strongly in upcoming Roy Morgans, etc. Meanwhile, Grant Robertson is sounding, speaking and coming across well, especially with his latest call for big multi-corps to be ...
Yup, indeed, and the oil market has been manipulated in the past year.
Well, ok, not all of Labour, e.g. Shane could be the deep dark secret for National to forge a grand coalition of Natz and right-wing or pro-TPP Labour MPs, such as Shearer and Goff (if he doesn't go off and take a position at another trough), along with ...
Adjusted for inflation as well as any increases to be benchmarked to the increase in the median wage or the remuneration of Parliamentarians/Cabinet Ministers, whichever is the greater :-)
Now, there is gold in that, DTB. It would make more sense for Natz to replace Reti with Shane Jones in defending that seat, fending off NZF and making Labour quite uncomfortable.
Winston would be nuts if he wastes the political capital that NZF has carefully built up by parachuting Shane Jones in as a candidate for that electorate. Shane was loudly campaigning for TPP at the Natz Govt event last week. How will that sit with the ...
The author, 'SaveNZ', should be wary about the veracity of this request that could reveal his/her identity.
tracey: "Little has also said he is both happy and unhappy with TPP, so which is it?" Related to that kind of happy and unhappy combo/mix was what someone raised about the 90-day law. Little/Labour wants to keep that law and make it fairer, it seems. Make ...
One person? Doubt it. For a better picture, how about someone set up a straw poll online and put up a post here online to point out the link?
Ack! Hundreds of Cantab dairy farmers caught out over breaking effluent discharge rules in the past year. Profits are the priority! Do the individual or company owners have Chinese-sounding or Kiwi-sounding names??
It will be Grant Robertson within striking distance, come 2017.
Very disappointing from Little. Labour members and supporters, as well as progressive voters, should take a leaf from the approach of Little and his entourage by flouting requests for donations and help.
Grant just got walloped by Bill English on Parliament TV. I really like Grant but the Finance portfolio is the wrong fit and he is not up to it.
That got off ground in 1915, 1936, 1976 and 1993 ;-) ;-)
Start up a new party that is truly progressive and has the best interest of the many in NZ, not a party of the establishment and careerists.
Interesting group of MPs. What was the criteria that was decided for those MPs to meet with Groser? Labour leader, deputy, finance speckperson, and ....?
What we have for a while now in the country is a grand political coalition in terms of economic and financial policies - with regard to Labour, what did post-Rogernomics Clark and Cullen truly do that brought about real change?
The TPPA shit is baked in and if Shaw thinks he can be Mr Fix It, he can go ahead and delude himself and some of the Greens/Progressive. But I will make my darndest in my own community to ensure that none shall be so daft as to swallow that.
"as of today" !!! haha! hilarious, Hills! i was going to joke that Hills would have inserted a qualifying phase somewhere and i was also going to suggest she probably muttered under her breath "at this stage", "presently", "currently", "for now" or such ...
