That one, and the moan about vaccination. <yawn>
Shane Jones has always been irrelevant!
There is a media blackout on this issue unless it’s a ‘my beautiful trans kid’ story. Gender critical views don’t get published. I’m not part of Speak Up for Women, but any coverage they have had misrepresents their views. I attended one of their public ...
I voted Labour or Green all my life. I am now politically homeless. I taught women’s and gender studies courses at university for more than thirty years. Sex and gender have been core and distinct concepts in sociology since the 1970s. Yet we are not ‘...
Primary teachers with a degree (Q3+) as well as a diploma will go up a big step in the pay scale as well as having the pay rise. Others with teaching degree only (Q3) or no degree (trained in earlier days in the former Teachers' Colleges Q1 & Q2) also get ...
David Seymour's personal attacks on Diane Khan as "an awful person" could be regarded as online bullying. If he's so rude to the public, I would be surprised if other MPs find him easy to work with. National, please cut him loose at the next election! ACT ...
....if she is soooo innocent then it is simple...release the text.....its not the story that kills....its the cover up that will.....and all we have seen is "ducking & diving" and carefully worded answers......
Totally agree Ed. I am appalled that Jacinda Ardern, on behalf of our government, accepted this insane attack. Surely the commonsense thing to do was wait for inspectors (just a few hours) to determine if there was truth to the manufacture and use of ...
Perhaps the SSC will not take action because Sutton has not breached confidentiality - say for example, if his public portrayal of events does align with investigation findings. If someone who was aware of the events that gave rise to a substantiated claim...
I couldn't help noticing Anne Tolley's use of what is doubtless the latest government 'let's repeat it so often it becomes the new normal' speak: she strenuously avoided using the word poverty and spoke euphemistically instead of "children experiencing ...
So this is one of the 'fresh ideas' JK asked for to help tackle child poverty - undermine local authorities and the RMA so developers can really let rip! Hmmmh - and here was me thinking that our low wage economy and 'flexible' (=insecure for workers) job ...

I think the point is that the PM's motivation for declassifying documents is stated as protecting _his_ reputation (as opposed to the reputation of the office of the PM - although I understand there has been a little blurring of those boundaries lately) ...
Shame! - Shame on you Peter Whittall - Shame on the government - What a dark day for the families and survivors - in fact for all workers in this country.
+1 The ABC ers need to move on.
+1 Disheartening to see it listed, but spot on
Two talented singers, singing an identical song, both technically correct, both polished and performance ready. - Yet, one will always stand out. - One has the x factor, the other doesn't. I have seen this time after time sitting on audition panels. You ...
What Women's Day is doing to Alison Mau is like raping a prostitute. Just because she's sold herself and her private life to the sleaze media in the past doesn't make it right for them to stalk her now. Standard readers, of all people, should be able to ...
Goudie would be interested in ACC, her and her friend Foreman have been waiting to get their trotters into the govts health dollars since the last election when they pooled together to buy clothing for poor old Brash
Agreed RL. Goff's well capable of of stepping out of that shadow. Only reason he occupied shadows in the first place was a dedication to unity, and the wisdom to wait his moment. The right would be wise to be concerned about what Goff can do, and what he ...
I don't think Labour lost because of over-prioritisation of social reforms. They lost because they couldn't articulate the fundamental message behind their social reforms. Like in America, the left have to learn how to appeal to a largely emotion driven ...
Not only is Nash to the right, he isn't very smart but sadly thinks he is. If he ever became the leader of Labour, members would leave in droves. Most people strike me as going into politics because they have values. With him the word opportunist springs ...
Daveski "Surely, the greater focus should be on growing the cake rather than the who gets what share." The old growing the cake argument, eh? If I had a dollar for every time I've heard National, Act and their buddies trot that one out, I'd have a very big...
<> For the record, Prostitution Law Reform was a Private Member's Bill, not a Government one and was - if I remember correctly - a conscience vote.
