I am very interested in the figure you quote for New Zealanders worth thirty million or more. Where did you get this from, please?
Lower the speed limit by 10 km/hour tomorrow. A silly idea as it doesn't take into account the cost involved with such a change. And of course the large majority of road deaths are not caused by speeding. Addressing the road toll shouldn't be a knee-jerk ...
To be fair to Farrar - I know, why should I be? - but he is used to National Ministers lying through their teeth. I don't think he can quite believe that Ministers in this Government are not averse to telling the truth. JAG simply told the truth. And as I ...
I see the same thing. Not sure if it helps, but this is the error I get for most of the images on the page: cdn.thestandard.org.nz uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: cloudfront.net, *.cloudfront.net...
NZ First wasn't in parliament between 2008 and 2011.
If the vote was purely along political lines, then I look forward to a 56.6% majority for a left-wing government next election.
According to FreeviewNZ, it should be: http://www.freeviewnz.tv/channel/23 You might need to re-tune your Freeview box though.
Other way round: The "Current Account" is part of the "Balance of Payments". The balance of payments takes into account the flow of money from migration and investment, as well as the areas covered by the current account (which are Inputs/Exports, returns ...
From what I understand, the advanced votes are counted on the day they are cast (and then locked away in case they need to be re-counted). I could be wrong, though.
You used "25-24 age group" part way down the page. Presumably it's a typo, but it is slightly ambiguous (you could mean "15-24" or "25-34").
The same can be said of some electorate MPs in safe seats. It's not about whether they're an electorate or list MP, rather, it's the person themselves and how much they put into their jobs.
Even though one of their core philosophies is "Personal Responsibility"...
But then, if Hone kept Te Tai Tokerau, Kelvin Davis wouldn't have got in and Andrew Little would take his place.
From my research: On 13 March 2001, Phil Goff announced the outcome of the ministerial inquiry. He told National Radio listeners that justice had to be seen to be done. “We went the extra mile,” he exclaimed. He added that the expert advisers – “two of the...
Have they given a cost estimate? Not that I'm aware of. But it's worth remembering that the cost of the ministerial inquiry into the case came in well under budget. And what price justice?

Just look at National's election campaigns...
I'm fairly sure it's immediate, so long as you sign up before the election period begins (which hasn't occurred yet).
I sincerely doubt that anyone could survive a 12-month character assassination and have any more "electorate appeal" as David Cunliffe does, particularly not anyone currently in the Labour caucus. As for the caucus, they need to get over themselves. It's ...
The election process takes 3 weeks after it's initiated, though it sounds like they're not going to start it for another few weeks.

Head office is incredibly under staffed and over worked (especially during the campaign period), hence many of the problems. Having said that, I completely agree that they need to do some serious work when it comes to organisation. Although things get ...
It would be great to see a return of bonding schemes. They're a win-win for the country and student, as the students don't get weighed down with debt (and have a guaranteed job for at least 3-5 years), while the country has guaranteed employees to fill ...
I've heard Labour's internal polling has them in the high 20s, a fair bit higher than most of the publicly available ones. Still, I'd hoped they would have been in at least the low 30s by now.
It's located on YouTube here.
The law makes no distinction about where the information was obtained - only whether it would be considered private. So regardless of whether it was obtained via Google or the website itself, if the person who obtained the information clearly knew it ...
New Zealand doesn't have a constitution. And the Bill of Rights mentions nothing about the right of an individual/company to sell land to overseas buyers.
This page on the Electoral Commission website details overseas voting. It says that you can either print out a voting form, request one be sent to you, or simply turn up at one of the voting stations (a list is linked to on that page).
If you're referring to the Congress, you're missing a couple of zeros in that...
Labour's signs tend to be ripped down rather than vandalised (that's the case in my electorate, at least). It's less noticeable, since the signs simply disappear, but the hit rate is similar. The effect is similar though, and Labour doesn't have the ...
