Weka. I can create a new comment but can’t reply to existing comments. The reply button will bring up a comment box but won’t allow me to move the cursor into it. iPad gen 6 OS 17.3.1 Chrome latest version. Same issue on both mobile and desktop version of ...
Actually fifty years since 1973
In reply to Ad @1.2 Another hilarious examination of politics in a thimble was the the NZ film Pecking Order 2017. The description on IMDb is: ”Pecking Order looks at the rivalries and obsessions of a group of New Zealand chicken breeders from Christchurch...
This article is an extremely well referenced take down of all the bollocks the NZ MSM has been dishing up. Dishonestly at that. Distribute it widely and tell those people to distribute it widely etc,etc too. They have lied to you. Shamelessly. Click on the...
When trying to comment on any NZ Herald FB posts relating to this matter (and others of a political/media nature, I'm immediately censored with this message:
It’s not just about money, although until the minimum wage rises hospo workers were certainly underpaid. It is much more about the bullying, and generally abusive behaviour which is widespread practise by owners and managers and which has been acknowledged...
It is sweet when an ambush comes together like that..
I left you a note abt your sci fi story
Small beer, but I left you a note. .https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-06-03-2022/#comment-1872158 [lprent: Corrected link. Note to self, I must find the bug that makes comments links fail and fix it. ]
The Story you're trying to recall was first published in 1953 by The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (Mercury Press). I read it in an anthology called Tales of Terror From Outer Space in 1978. The story is called The Ruum by Arthur Porges. Not a ...
Tricledrown @25. No doubt the children were abused (certainly by modern standards) but I’ve never read anything about them being murdered. If you can provide a link to a reputable source which indicates that such was the case I’d be most interested. Cheers...
At least the s is next to the a..

Yep. In my youth I found his writing interesting and challenging. When he came to NZ (I think late 90's early 2000's) and did a lecture tour on the concept of 'manufacturing consent', my wife and I went to see his lecture on this subject at Waikato ...

What sort of clock Shanreagh? Mechanical or battery? Roughly which part of the country are you? I might be able to advise.
Jerk du cercles?
Hear, hear Patricia.
Who is this Hoskings person, I’ve only been in NZ for seventeen years and I’ve no idea who he is - bur judging by these comments he sounds rather small minded so I won’t bother to find his programme.
Thank you Nic the NZer for putting everyone right about how the banking system - the economy - actually works. When everyone (including politicians) admit that the world’s economy is merely a giant spreadsheet and any country that controls it’s own ...
To Papa Mike: To whom does the ‘printed money’ have to be ‘paid back’?
Perhaps you could devalue the housing market. If you can devalue currency then why not housing - just knock a couple of noughts off the spreadsheet - the vast majority who are merely selling then buying wouldn’t lose anything. The investors in the market, ...
One solution to help curb house price inflation merely requires a little legislation. These days houses, almost uniquely, do not have a price. Stocks and shares have a price, butter and cheese, meat and vegetables have a price, cars have a price, tradies ...
"....but it’s not like Labour have plans that will adequately address the housing and welfare crises.but it’s not like Labour have plans that will adequately address the housing and welfare crises." Sorry? They actually do have plans, as announced in 2017,...
Counting chickens before they're laid, let alone hatched, methinks. Greens are not currently in a position to bargain or demand from. In fact the selective targeting against Labour instead of National is not doing themselves any favours either!
... boarder more rent then? [Thanks Grant will correct. I normally change...
Except that only National found they absolutely needed to create an 'intelligence gathering unit' under Brownlee. Was this it's first scalp?
Kind of think Slater should reap what he has sown.
Anyone care to take odds on the 'Intelligence' Unit being in charge of sanitising all National computer hard drives?
Three questions for Muller: 1. When he found out on Monday about this potential criminal act, why did he not immediately contact Michael Heron QC to simply put him on notice that information had been received but they would like a few hours to seek legal ...
Quite simplistic of me BUT Governments Govern, Business manages. You govern countries to achieve the best outcomes for ALL the population. Managing only achieves limited outcomes for a select few.
