Yes different times, the Ministry of Works built the Upper Waitki scheme and provided a town, Twizel, on-site complete with schools, hospital, shops and all the other services. Otermatata also had these services for the Benmore project. Both of these ...
Thanks greywarshark. The Chinese (PRC) history curriculum under President Xi is wiping out all mention of Mongolian input into Chinese civilisation, overlooking the origins of Kublai Khan for example. I am scared that we will go the same way with our ...
As an historian myself, the draft curriculum has been corroded by CRT. History has to be told warts and all so lets explain the injustices of the Maori Wars but also admit that Maori civilisation was hardly the utopia that Mutu and co allege and the ...
The construction workers on this project and the money involved could have been better spent on the housing stock of the country.

"We are not rioting. We are protesting. We have showed no violence towards Corrections officers – none whatsoever – yet they show up here in force armed with guns and dogs to intimidate us. We are the ones that are making a stand on this matter for our ...
clark and cullen in 2008 with their total mismanagement of the New Zealand economy, caused us to be one of the first, if not the first country in the world to go into recession, And you sadsacks, or should I say, Bewildered, want the good people of New ...
Our friend Wayne has forgotten to remember to front up, the National Party of his day were often very forgetful, which is very convenient. [Please stick to one user name here. I've asked you this before and if you want to keep your commenting privilege ...
I've just re-read "Dirty Politics" are National going down the same "double-up" track? [You have used too many different user names and e-mail addresses here. I have changed your user name to the most recently used one on 7 May 2020. Please stick with this...
A cunning stunt, please supply the Spoonerism if you wish.
Why does RNZ keep Hooton and Mills on the air? Time for a change and to get some new opinions from a variety of contributors.
When is the $177,000 illegal payment to Thompson & Clark to be recovered Southern Response.
Good on you Jesse, Maggie Barrie played around at photo ops while DOC struggle to do more with less.
Please explain.
What more evidence is required to determine the cause of this tragerdy? The evidence is already known and the people responsible have got away without being held to account. The government allowed this to happen with its run down of the mines inspectorate ...
No surprise at the tactics of National, Trump would have modeled his campaign on their tacticts. Only difference being that Trump is more honest.
Its birds that now are the problem, makes a change from Labour created this problem, its people on the benifit that are the problem, P uses are the problem etc but its never the government that's the problem. Look in the mirror Smith and co!
Whats the future for the little boy? I believe that his older brother as now died, the boy and many like him will grow up with little choice other than to be a fighter having been conditioned to violence from such a young age. So look at the face of a ...
Clark got the foreshore debate very wrong and her government failed to turn back most of Nationals draconion labour laws but compared to the the JK party labour did a lot of good and helped NZ to weather the storm. Also this was 14 years ago and views ...
Lofty aims, but hands up all those who trust John Key!
It seems to be correct that this government does not give a damn about the truth. It has now told so many lies that the public just accept what ever they told and looks away. A feeble media and National cronies dominating it also helps them.
America, land of the Free!
The Herald must be on another planet. There are basic faults with the current system of wage improvement, bonuses encourage safety compromises, witnessed by accidents and loss of work satisfaction. Also KPI systems encourage short term planning by managers...
Recently I went on to youtube and watched a number of past interviews with NZ politicians. The interviewers were informed, polite and pressed for answers. Today, with one or two exceptions, we have uniformed bad mannered and narcissistic "interviewers"; ...
Perhaps Seymour would have refugees wear yellow badges so that the decent New Zealanders will be able to recognize them?
It reminds me of a certain Australian PM who spoke about refugees throwing their babies into the sea in order to save themselves, same script writer? Damnable lies!
British PM Ted Heath (Tory) commented on the "unacceptable face of capitalism" , this sort of practice is now the unacceptable face of not only farming but also the lack of actions of our regulator bodies.
Ah well it makes a change to blaming things on the previous Labour Government. Key is a master at sliding out of any responsibility using a smile and banal statement.
It's Richie's little mate from the adverts!
It's sad that this will be the only news that reflects what's going on out there. Meanwhile our PM invites prominent "journalists" to dinner parties at his mansion!
