The real issue with the TPPA is that the government took a short turn approach to this deal by signing up to a deal that puts the rights of money hungry corporations over the rights of our nation. For example. Type 2 diabetes is a growing problem in NZ and...
Re interview with Madam Fu Ying made my blood boil. Does nobody get that there is an elephant in the room here re investment in NZ when she criticises NZ for not wanting investment of the type that buys up huge farms Ie. great chunks of NZ land for the ...
Why are some of the chinese community so up in arms about labour wanting to stop foreign offshore investors speculating in Auckland housing market. If they are truly genuine NZ citizens/residents then wouldn't they be concerned about the rising prices too....
At least when I die, I leave, and you dumbfuck will STAY! [Eh? Try and keep focus. And keep the abuse to a minimum, ta. TRP]
Well I thought it was! That was the impression I got! The president kinda hesitated, at the beginning, he seemed ill-prepared, I don’t believe he thought this thing out, it was crude! The only reason everyone cheered him on, was because he was the ...
I hated Brussel Sprouts as a kid, I would regurgitate them, nearly puke! My parents would make me eat them, until I devised a plan. I decided I had a runny nose, and when I blew into my napkin, I spewed the sprouts out of my mouth into the large napkin, ...
It was ‘out of place’ and gimmicky, just because you’re the President it doesn’t give you the right to do as you please, there was no respect, breaking out into song is totally disrespectful, he isn’t a opera singer, who the hell does he think he is?
The shocking lies of the mayor and councillors concerning rate rises and the misuse of rate payers money. Rate rises up to 10% are not what was promised by the councillors when they were elected. It is unreasonable that an organisation that has a monopoly ...
This policy flies in the face of all logic of treatment for mentally ill people. It will rely heavily on the use of drugs to mask the symptoms of mental illnesses in order to get people back to work and into jobs. Those that do not cope will self medicate ...
In economics, reflexivity refers to the self-reinforcing effect of market sentiment, whereby rising prices attract buyers whose actions drive prices higher still until the process becomes unsustainable and the same process operates in reverse leading to a ...
Auckland Council's poor judgement on what it wastes ratepayers money on. It infuriates me to hear of another complete waste our rates money on something that provides no benefit to ratepayer. i.e. the thousands wasted on an image consultant to teach staff ...
Cameron Slater calling uninsured people in Christchurch "scum". http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/cameron-slater-says-christchurch-quake-victims-still-scum-6254379 Maybe he should look in the mirror and see what that definition truly means. According to the ...
Facts About Fruit Flies – Mother fruit flies lay about 200-300 eggs at a time – The most likely place for a mother fruit fly to lay her eggs is in a piece of rotting fruit – As soon as the babies hatch, they start reproducing about 24 hours later – From ...
This could end up like the varroa mite where it was put in the too hard basket eventually by the government. Anyone who watches Boarder Security knows that many people do not declare and destroy the food they bring in. In fact many of them try to hide the ...
This is not only illegal but totally immoral. What employer wouldn't know that they can't dock the wages of an employee for theft by a person that is not the employee. How completely stupid are they. These companies need to be prosecuted. How dear they do ...
To proved my point about IS members being sociopathic killers that are committing genocide just take a look at the majority of prisoners in NZ. Almost all would not go into the home of innocent people and head the babies and children of people. That is the...
I'm shocked that on both sides of the spectrum there is so much self interest. If it isn't effecting them they don't wan't to do anything about it. Was clear on Q+A this morning that the far left and the far right panel had both the same views. Unless it ...
Yes it is 19th century law. Employers not allowing a 2 x 10 min tea breaks and a meal break at a reasonable time during the day is cruel. This is fundamentally going back to the industrial revolution where employers had all power and employees had none. ...
David Shearer is doing a great job of being Cameron Slater's mole in the Labour Party.
Yes! The right wing must go. "Our man Shearer is doing a great job of turning people off the labour party. He opens his mouth and nasty hypocritical rubbish comes out." The sooner he is dumped the better. He is not a "has been", "he is a never was". To ...
How petty! What a bunch of backstabbing little children they are. The remaining candidates in this leadership race will find that they will not unite the party as they are looking for an impossibility. They seem to be missing the point that all years of ...
Good on Cunliffe's wife for speaking out. Those backstabbing b..ers have had it in for David all along the ABC club. So what if it has ruined his career in the labour party they are dead in the water anyhow and no backstabbing b...er is going to save it. ...
I don't blame Cunliffe' wife having a go at the backstabbing b... who undermined Cunliffe during the election. This is why Labour is finished. This is why the election results were so bad. Labour is too focused on stabbing each other in the back than ...
No it comes out that David Cunliffe fought this campaign with knives sticking out of his back put their by some of his caucus colleges, I have renewed respect for how well he handled himself. I think he did brilliantly in the debates with John Key and it ...
Typical that the likes of Phil Geoff and David Shearer have there knives out for David Cunliff which is ironic as he was given a poison chalice by them in the first place. He was just the one at the top and took the final hit. The lack of teamwork in ...
EXCELLENT IDEA - Labour changing secondary tax system. Would make it more economic for beneficiaries and low income earners to get part time work. At the moment people who are in this situation can almost be going backwards because of paying secondary tax ...
Nigel Latta Documentary about the Haves and the Have Nots. Debunked the National propaganda that the social divide is getting bigger and bigger and the trickle down economic growth is actually a trick up to the wealthy. That those in the middle who are ...
With the number of national party MPs making so called mistakes that the PM is always making excuses for it is clear that there isn't much intelligence amongst them. The #Team Key also says a lot. Without John Key they would be dog tucker. Why are so many ...
The shocking deterioration of democracy in this country and media agenda to maline, defame, mock the Labour party and in particular David Cunliffe. The media is implying unsubstantiated claims by Right wing influences that Labour and David Cunliffe in ...
The behaviour biases of the media are effecting the election being fair. The media are constantly branding political parties in one way or other except for National. Their obsession with National and the way they are framing questions to other parties is ...
The National government are so fixated on their obsession with greed for money they think everyone else is motivated by the same narrow rewards. They fail to recognise that teacher and nurses are not motivated by money like a stock broker is. They are ...
