On the Herald, they included highlights of some of the released information, which I couldnt find again. What was most interesting was that it had the exchange between John Allen (Fmr head MFAT) and odious turd Graeme Leversha. Appears Leversha claims the ...
"the internal polling, and thought what the fuck, there is electoral upside here let’s just do it".......maybe that is the strategy, try and take votes off Winston First, and dont expect to retain the Chinese vote they currently have ? I wonder is that gem...
Nothing less than they deserve !
If ever there was a good example about how different parts of the political spectrum think, the Greek situation provides a perfect one. On KB there is good rational debate about what Greece did to themselves and how poorly it has been run for decades - eg ...
Wet bus ticket, ready and waiting......
At least they would get better funding that the labour party. Williams and his shakedowns are legendary.....
now there is a truely awful mental picture.....the slater and the porkchop ! surely she isnt the one he had an affiar with ?
I would only hope that Pharmac starts to focus on health outcomes not just the number of pills they can buy. I dotn think that makes Pharmac weaker.
You are funny. You make me laugh. Keep going.
hasnt stopped the 8000-odd Saudi Students in NZ
Minister of Foreign Affairs 1999 - 2005. Have you asked Phil about this by any chance ? Am Sure you know him well enough to ask, but am not sure he trusts you to tell you the truth.
Agree - silly to blame labour govt....actually detracts from the real issues over the deal. If they did just stand up as you suggest, I am sure they would be asked as to what caused the "issue" that needed to be resolved. It happens to be both true and ...
Not sure what tory lies you suspect or mean. But I am not parrotting anything other than my own knowledge of what I saw and witnessed during the time of this saga. Just because you dont like or agree with my view, that doesnt make my view/experience a lie ...
Dont recall suggesting that US healthcare was the answer ? In fact, pretty sure I didnt mention the system in my post. People die here everyday because they cant afford the gold standard of cancer treatment - whats your point ? The question re the review ...
no. are you ?
Kelsey and co have shown how little they actually know, and keep harping the same old BS. TPP will not be the end of Pharmac, but may actually improve health outcomes for NZ'ers. Pharmac in its current state is not that great for the average NZ'er. When it...
Hey Mickey, well called re propoganda re the young mfat official. That came AFTER the investment into NZ, and after the "encouragement" given under the labour govt. In 2009, "substantive agreement" was reached, and announced here in NZ. The following ...
looking forward to come dine with me on 3.
"Freeing up Auckland land for private development and sale at market rates isn’t going to cut it." 1) The Housing NZ being tendered is below market value. ref. HNZ tender for McLennans block in Takanini. 2) Regardless, it wont cut it alone. No Silver ...
This has to be better than the status quo ? Or is life in mindless oppostion the preffered position for Labour ? "Harman reported that there was a heated discussion in Caucus about the current proposal. No doubt some MPs are keen to avoid past experiences...
Try the audio link for yesterday at 5.15pm http://www.radiolive.co.nz/Audio.aspx Look through teh annual reports of RA http://relationships.org.nz/?s=annual+report and look at the chnages in cost overheads. Last yeat they claim they helped 27,600 people. ...
RA was poorly run, and obstuctive. It did not co-operate with Audit NZ or MSD in terms of use of funding requriements ie. so how many people did you actually provide counselling to ? (look at the RA annual report and teh numbers they claimed now). The ...
One nights numbers dont tell the story. The connection to Campbell's demise is a really long bow to draw, and maybe a triumph of hope over reality.
Union instructions are in the mail.
To gain power the left needs to hope that NZ suffers mass unemployment and inflation growth......why ? Easy to promise to fix it by taxing the wealthy and borrowing and spending like there is no tomorrow.....talk about dirty politics
Well done Bryan, thats the most consise and brief comment in history.
Road cops won over shortland street tonight.....
A slump.......a triumph of hope over reality ?
RA havent lived up to their end of the arrangement to provide services for the funding they received. RA clearly havent been able to manage the funds they have been given. Like any organisation receiving taxpayer cash, they need to be able to provide ...
I can only hope Andy Little can keep this story alive for as long as possible....this is a real vote winner, and game changer for Labour.....
