Agreed. A complete charisma bypass. Yawn.
Sr Jerome, if she was a Dominican nun, was my great-aunt. She was delightful. Small world.
Same Reality.
Barry Soper was one of the "big boys" when I was in Primer 2 at St Mary's School in Gore. I well remember him storming out of my class one day when he'd had the temerity to enter to deliver the milk without knocking first. Sr. Mary Bonaventure was not ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_New_Zealand_budget Tax down, spending up, point made.
But what will the hundreds of thousands spent campaigning for Clark do for child poverty?
Another propaganda slammed by donkey and his current affair solicitors. Funny how politics always comes into the life of wrecking it for others.....
fantastic article the only flaw is that you forgot to add the about $162 WFF you would be entitled to per week. Yes you get WFF while on a benefit while many assume given the name it's only for the working it's not. However factor in power, clothes, phone,...
Thanks mate, really hoping for a good result on Saturday!
People are forgetting Williams has been in Christchurch for about 8 months, while David grew up in Christchurch East. If you ask me, he is the one who understands the problems of the region better than anyone else. Yeah, I'm pretty biased, having ...
Actually, the conclusions reached by the likes of Gavin Harris, Geoff Kemp, Richard Mulgan, Bryce Edwards and Nicky Hager (all of whom, I assume, know more about our media than you) is that our media outlets' inadequacies are NOT derived from their ...
I read that article and, honestly, did not think they misrepresented Cunliffe's statement. Yes, he said no deal had been struck between SkyCity and the Party, but he also did NOT take a clear position like that taken by Metiria and the Greens. She made it ...
Sorry mate, but I think you're giving Labour waaaay too much credit. Labour's previous rhetoric seemed to have indicated they would have followed down the line the Greens chose. A "no guarantees" stance, in light of all the passionate speeches in ...
Yeah, but at the same time, Cunliffe was NOT emphatic like the Greens. They have made it clear, contrary to Labour, that they will repeal this toxic piece of legislation if given the chance. Cunliffe, on the other hand, claimed he won't be "incinerating ...
Jones is supposed to be given a top spot in the "new" Labour caucus. Should be in the top 5, apparently... http://www.3news.co.nz/Jones-leaves-Labour-election-with-mana/tabid/1607/articleID/313298/Default.aspx Why the fuck would Cunliffe do this? And I get...
I've been following the Herald's "Gambling and Sport" series for the past week. Just wondering what anyone else thinks about the relationship that's been built in New Zealand, between sport initiatives and gambling funds? Considering problem gamblers ...
More revealing was Jones' idea that he doesn't like "messing with contracts", when asked whether he would attempt to correct for the disgrace that was the Skycity deal. Looks like he should have been with Goff, Cosgrove and King in that VIP box the other ...
Cunliffe has removed it. He even apologized for it; it's on his Twitter account. Still, surely it doesn't mean their announcements, supposed to reflect their individual ideas, are written by the same people?
Is this a joke? Cunliffe came out saying this was a "glitch". Can anyone explain to me how exactly do "glitches" like this work?
I saw this on a column by Russel Norman, on the NZ Herald, last year: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10851514 I assumed that, had Norman made shit up, especially about a senior Labour MP, people would have bashed him for it. ...
Funny that he talks about "simple" stuff like jobs when, during the period he was the chairman of Sealord, the company chartered a Ukrainian vessel, hiring foreign workers instead of locals. Foreign workers who, we all know, are often subjected to inhumane...
Yeah, I heard Garner and the Espiner brothers suggesting Jones was the candidate "National feared"... Honestly, does anyone still take those clowns seriously, especially after the big joke that their new show is? Shame Jones has no place in the Labour ...
Hami, I wasn't really referring to what he could be doing, and how much money he could be making in other positions. I simply stated a fact: he lives in a million-dollar-home neighbourhood; that is not very "Labour". Sorry, but you're coming dangerously ...
Cunliffe has the charisma and he's definitely very articulate. Still, I just don't see that much "Labour" in a guy who lives (pretty sure he's still there) in Hernes Bay, where houses sell for $2 million. Not that "Labour" to me... Jacinda Ardern would be ...
Honestly, I do get slightly annoyed when people evoke Palmer's authority to justify just about anything. I'm probably a bit too idealistic, but I cannot forget he presided over a government which promoted fundamental changes to our socioeconomic framework,...
Karol, I totally understand this is a complex bill. I'm not gonna lie; it took me a while to come to grips with it (and I'm still no bloody expert on it), after looking at the current Act, the proposed amendment, the Law Society's submission, the ...
Honestly, I think opposition to the bill has been largely manifested in a less-than-effective way. Sure, you'll find the brilliant Dr. Harrison, amongst other specialists, referring to the nuts and bolts of the Bill, and I also found David Parker's ...
Yes, but none of that has come out yet. When people refer to him "shedding some light" upon the GCSB, people mean his mansion's raid, and how it exposed the dodgy practices by our spying agency. But Dotcom was simply unlucky there; it's not like this is a ...
And let's be honest: while I understand his mansion's raid brought more attention to the Bill, the constant "without him, we wouldn't know this much" comes dangerously close to implying he carried out some sort of investigation into this. This is no ...
Dotcom knew Banks required the donations to be split so that they would be "anonymous"... What exactly motivates ANYONE to donate $50,000 to a guy like Banks? Doesn't that smell bad to you? And what do you mean by "accomplished"? He's a billionaire, that ...
