AND.. how about use this break to allow women struggling in jobs where pay equity is just too much to bear to live on a UI until they are able to survive on freelance or build their own companies. Its a win win, we force organisations to take pay equity ...
One only needs to google "Paula Bennett Resign" to see the massive list of ongoing fuckups shes been involved with including WINZ & Human Rights breaches. She has no place in a New Zealand Government..
Silly thing is both Nick Smith and Matt Lawry are on the same side with regards to some of the bigger environmental issues in Nelson at the moment. The July Brodifacoum air drop poisoning of the Brook Valley Sanctuary is rising into a big issue with an ...
+1 One Two - Agree wholeheartedly...
That's actually very clever...
Bullshit poll, their own internal polling etc have national just inside of 40. Must be Brexit jitters, who cares. Support is super soft - anything this bouncy is dangerous and they know it. The MSM are finally starting to turn on the govt and that's Key.
@TC Exactly. However, the same two banks stopped lending in Australia due to fraudulent Chinese income documents, allegedly manufactured with the help of mortgage brokers. Has that been happening here also? http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/world/79780169/...
Christ you actually think anyone will vote for Paula Bennet! Hello 15%.
Celebrity politics don’t akshully work in case you haven’t checked outside in the real world... Um really? how bout Trump?
Jeezuz Little!, where is the exciting, stimulating, encouraging speech? Labour are pulling a hard line negative campaign... Voters will align Little with poverty, homelessness, charter schools, health, low wages etc, because its all he talks about. This ...
So Goff supported the TPPA - Its a huge political move. Personally think he should have stood with his party, and denounced it. Let Auckland decide. "Fellow Labour MP David Shearer had told the Herald he personally supported the TPP, but later said he ...
Meanwhile "In London tomorrow Police Minister Judith Collins will represent the Prime Minister at the London Anti-Corruption Summit.." Oh the irony.. http://m.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11636936
Student Visa - high end investors: "Whillans said he sold a block of land for $25m to a Chinese student studying at Auckland university whose family hoped to move here" ..They are killing two birds with one stone because the kids are getting a good ...
+1 Without a doubt there is something there... Bernard Hickey has also asked: "Has NZ pressured the Cook Islands to change its trust secrecy/info sharing laws? If not, why not? The Cook Islands uses the NZ dollar and Cook Island citizens are NZ citizens. ...
Yes Labour should sink Neolibs and all. A new party with fierce new ideas should emerge with the real lefty thinkers. Clear strategy. The TPPA hesitation and wavering was nail in the coffin for me. Polling could well be reflecting that. There are few ...
+1 Jenny. Inequality is now harming middle NZ, where is our Bernie? Labour should be the party beating the drum for socialism but they cannot while infested with Neolibs.. Their ideas are fractured. Cunliffe needs to be in a senior role and as the ...
+1 Lest we forget, Labour 2014. Wiped out the entire left.
Who is the Phil he is referring to?
1 - Puppeting National "its just a rort" is exactly what they want you to do. Let mana win that seat.
So everything seems to be pointing at Shane Jones for the new leader of IP - Now that may be better for National than Labour, and certainly not good for the Greens..
Does anyone remember this? Paula Bennett, has confirmed the Transition to Work Grant, aimed at helping people get work in New Zealand, has been used to pay for one-way flights to Australia. http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/winz-pays-jobless-fly-australia-...
Im feeling greatly dishearted also. I found the speech uninspiring, the backlash on other media is scathing. The stuff poll is showing nearly 60% of voters think the $60 per week handout is a terrible idea. GST off fresh fruit and veg helps the entire ...
Steal from Derek Hendley's article in the NBR on why Kim Dotcoms internet party is good for NZ He makes some excellent points. What we desperately need during the debate on who earns the right to run our country is clear and breakthrough vision about very ...
Perhaps the most scathing and chillingly accurate article ever written about Key. Key might never have called Mandela a terrorist, but his 1980s apathy over apartheid is arguably more troubling for what it reveals about the shallow nature of his politics, ...
The points about locking out a generation of homeowners seem to really resonate with New Zealanders. However the right have as you say latched on this as a 'crisis for current home owners - regulation means losing equity'. I cant help thinking Turei should...
The $18/per hour figure has come from the Family Centre Social Policy Research Unit following independent research into a New Zealand living wage rate conducted in February 2013. We arent grabbing figures out of a hat and making a joke of this like you ...

The Warehouse - Virtually no New Zealand made products, mass shipments of utter toxic rubbish - manufactured with no environmental protections and consumed by people too stupid to realise they need none of it... Except perhaps from the plant section - oh ...
I found it strange watching the news - no mention of the Stewart Island oil leaking fishing vessel country of origin - why it ended up on rocks. Just the name Sureste - and a seemingly relaxed Environment Southland - heavy weather had dispursed most of the...
You would find those items on pretty much every farm in the country...
