Thank goodness for a post which acknowledges some good from this government. If you read The Herald or listen to Newstalk ZB, you'd think we were Armageddon.
mmmm!! Firestone Mclay and Goodyear Bennet There's gotta be a Tui billboard in here somewhere
Come on people, its time to stand up and be proud. If you don't want the flag to change we need to show it. Start by putting the flag on the cars. and for goodness sake VOTE, Don't leave it for someone else to do. I don't want to see the current flag just ...
Yet another report just released on Family violence. We have 9000 kiwis in prison over 300k kids in poverty and we are still killing our kids and bashing our women. And we are considering changing to a Black and Blue Flag ?????????????? That's !!!!!! NOT ...
Given that the Flag consideration committee was made up of National Party cronies and in light of our apples already packed and stickered with the PM's option , I personally think the whole process is just a 'going through the motions" exercise for a ...
Australia’s government proposes moving citizens’ personal information into the cloud, with a pilot program to test travel between Australia and New Zealand with cloud-based passports. It remains to be seen how it would even work once you arrive. Cloud-...
I'm having a feeling of de ja vu, didn't Redbstock chair the last CYF review?
Hi Richard, I was just looking at some of the blogs etc that helped raise awareness of our campaign (I'm one of the project team!). The original full length film was a collaboration between Victoria University of Wellington (NZ) and Oxford (UK). so the ...
Hang on a minute, is he talking about Mugabe or Mandela?
The best comment i saw in relation to this was, "Just had a phone call from a recording of John Key. I didn't listen, in case it was private."

but aren't we expecting 170,000 new jobs this year?
There is a lot of discussion about whether our soldiers are on the front line or not - can anyone here tell me or show me where the front line is in Afghanistan? Or even where it has been at any point in the past 2 years?
surprised no one has mentioned farrar's comments on iran/iraq the other day: "I guess in the end, I should look on it like I did the Iran-Iraq war – you just want it to go on for ever, with maximum causalities." ( http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2011/07/mair_v_...
The best commentary i've seen on the carbon tax is this one: http://www.heathenscripture.com/you-shut-your-goddamn-carbon-taxin-mouth/ The intro: "Three days on from Julia Gillard’s policy announcement, and the most striking characteristic of the carbon ...

the KEY difference between Ireland and New Zealand is that we are not just off the coast of Europe
On tuesday you will have a new PM.
I sometimes wonder if these guys are running the economy into the ground to make it easier to sell us the idea of getting rid of state-owned assets. The cupboard is bare, let's sell off some stuff.
unfortunately it seems like this might of been a terrible piece of reporting. No mention of it in the midday 3news bulletin so far... would think it would be in the first few stories if there was anything to it. Young reporter not checking her facts and ...
a photo op that cost the taxpayer 200K. urgh.

I think the latest tape was released by Labour insiders - they've realised the battle is over, the right has won, and now they are positioning to roll Clark. That's why we are getting increasingly embarassing situations for Labour - ala H-fee bomb, this ...
How typical to release another tape, this covers nicely the fact that Labour have no fresh ideas or policies to release. Best just to try and discredit the other side eh?
Kerry - nice to see you have your head in the clouds as well. And love how you managed to get in a dig about John Key owning property in Hawaii - heaven forbid that someone should actually make a success of themselves and be able to afford something like ...
Are you kidding? Clark won that debate? I know you are Labour party supporters, but how anyone can claim that Clark won that debate is beyond me. It was clearly not a decisive victory either way. If anything, and I disclose I am a little right-leaning in ...
