Obviously introducing a new vaccine could complicate the roll-out - but I'm sure those risks could be mitigated, especially if they are actually potentially having to dial down capacity in some areas due to the shortage. Those would be the areas I would ...
I am concerned by the recent announcements by the Government that they cannot maintain the current rate of vaccinations, and that our next big shipment of Pfizer isn't due till late October. Frankly, I think they have made a mistake not choosing to use ...
Since when don't newspapers pay opinion writers?
National did refuse the MoU with the Greens in 2014. The reason is that the Greens were not prepared to reciprocate on any concessions they won. In other words, the Greens wanted an MoU that would grant them some of the benefits of government, but not bind...
I found a listing for the group here: http://www.cinch.org.nz/categories/1311/1387/entries/4651 Which was last updated in April 2016. All their details and meeting times are there and they appear to be an active group. I suggest it would be appropriate to ...
Wow! What a disgusting website you linked to for the Quran! Homophobia, just like any type of hate, isn't solely cos of a religious belief or institution. Most anti-social phobias are formed thru secular means; Fear of the other isn't a religious based ...
That is theft, and destruction of company property.
Out of curiosity, would you be willing to retract this article if it could be shown that the real reason the Council voted against the rezoning was due to objections by citizens about the effect the solar farm might have on property values in the ...
Blofield didn't say, "“No Mr Bond, I expect you to die.” IIRC, it was Goldfinger.
They are called "Lords" but it's basically an appointed chamber of senators excepting the 70 hereditary peers, and the bishops. Their job is to scrutinize legislation, and amend it. Chamber of Sober Second Thought. There are some incredible people in the ...
Well, according to Helen Clark, whose bona fides as a non-neo-liberal seem to be unchallenged, New Zealand's profile as an export nation means we simply cannot afford to be left outside such a major trading bloc. I confess that I never voted for Clark's ...
Ask Helen Clark, I guess.
"That's different!"
Clarence Street Pak'n'Save rates weren't given by the employer, they were negotiated for and won by First Union.
Wilson Security also owns, the NZ security firm, FIRST Security.
China is punishing the American veto of their chair to the IMF... eventually china will be challenging the US to show their gold reserve (non existent) and setup the new global trade currency, nothing can be done all this jostling, now is just US trying to...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the occasional overseas holiday a component of the NZ Living Wage?
Warehouse employees are represented by First Union, (an amalgamation of the NDU and Finsec.) We successfully disbanded the Warehouse People's Union a couple of years back and have been making gains for the workers there since We're currently in dispute ...
I really wish John Campbell well at Radio Norwich. "Morning, Susan. Marvelous!"
Trump is not a serious person. To the extent that he is serious about politics, however, there is good reason to think that Trump is actually pretty progressive. - He may not like Obamacare - but would many of our progressives given that it's essentially a...
With any luck those who feel stung by accusations of dog whistle politics will gain the empathy to show more circumspection when it comes to accusing their opponents of the same thing.
is not ^
Aside from the fact that the White House is empowered to pass laws, but only to faithfully execute those laws as Congress makes from time to time. The cleverest scheme to effectively "amend" the constitution is a law that a number of states have passed ...
Good on you for extending the benefit of the doubt to the man.
Ummmm http://nypost.com/2015/05/29/bernie-sanders-wrote-an-essay-saying-that-women-fantasize-about-rape/
What's the average (median) income for an Aucklander though? That would be a better measure to the national median.
Make it $2M and you could [probably] crowd fund it. An average of $40 from just 50,000 Campbell Live fans would do it. What's stopping people?
What you don't seem to be cognisant of is the concept of opportunity cost. Broadcast time slots are a limited resource. Giving a slot to one show excludes another show from using it. Maybe Campbell Live does run a small surplus, but have you ever ...
It's been interesting to see the evolution of the word "block" as a substitute for its homophone "bloc" in recent years. It's kind of like Yogi Berra's claim that "Texas has a lot of electrical votes." We are all guilty of it from time to time, but the ...
I think he is more likely to go with National and here's why: - It seems that when your government is starting to look a bit ragged, NZF will prop you up for one final term. It happened in 1996 and it happened in 2005. If it happens in 2017 it'll ...
I think that is a fair comment. However, I think it is also fair to say that things have beyond Obama having a desire for fast tracking authority. As I understood the news, and without resorting to Google, the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways ...
