How about a Hundertwasser green NZ “MAGA” hat…“Make Aotearoa NZ Great Again”…with MAGA in tiny font…there are dangers in copying such filth I guess but it could also make a statement in some settings.
Robert Reich is correct here. Trump’s general sleazery makes little odds for most–it is expected of him. The Evangelicals look the other way because he delivers their agenda, while liberals view him as a dog turd on the footpath, best avoided. Nonetheless…...
Ms. Lee was a mediocre lifestyle presenter at best, and seems obviously under skilled for the machinations of Ministerial life–her main skill might just be crawling–to explain her rise in the ranks. She is also rather good at avoiding public scrutiny and ...
There are enough psychos in the Knesset, and butchers in the IDF, to not care as long as US Imperialism has their hideous backs and keeps the guns’n’money flow happening. The goal for these zionists is to raze Gaza, eliminate as many Palestinians as ...
Pat’s great, a hands on advocate and practitioner for years.
It is profoundly negative that in a sparsely occupied long narrow country (apart from the Tauranga, Hamilton, Auckland triangle) of barely 5 mill population that this type of crap can go down in 2024. Renters are approaching 50% of households now, so this ...
Re this COC Govt. once Winston has to hand over his Deputy PM possie to Atlas Dave he could well turn on them. Not suggesting it would involve principles! Pre the last election he had a letter prepared for the Governor General withdrawing support for PM ...
Call me old school, but the rule of thumb from a class left view is to unite all who can be united around certain things to build organisation and success. Mr Hipkins sunk NZ Labour with his Cap’n’s Call from afar on wealth tax and CGT and will be replaced...
The Bish’, one Mr Brian Scamaki.
Yep, effective comms people and deep pockets, it is almost seen as unpatriotic to criticise dairy. “They” grabbed the narrative on Three Waters also, which sees people the country over facing substantial rate rises, with still no clear solution to the ...
Heh, that ranks up there with the classic courtroom question “when did you stop beating your wife?” Not that it is anyone on The Standards business, I have been vegetarian most of my adult life, not an easy achievement in early days as an industrial worker...
His mincing pronunciation makes him difficult to listen to on any subject. He is a classic right opportunist and crawler, feigning reasonableness depending on his audience. I have not forgotten “Dirty Politics” and his Slateroil days.
For sure, have watched CC since a kid and still do. The funny thing is these days they include more new age farmers running on solar, horticulturists with interesting crops, more women involved in farmwork, organic growers–and they get complaints sometimes...
Meat remains murder–how ever much people like to be in denial when they get it in plastic trays or already cooked from where ever. I predict many more vegetarians if people had to kill and butcher their own meat supplies. The Far North where I live has a ...
Yes as per tWig’s link. Looks like the gun registry that Labour set up–an essential tool in tracking who has what–will be repealed. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2023/06/government-officially-establishes-gun-register-act-vows-to-repeal-it-if-...
It is, a pleasant surprise.
Well, well, well–a gun lobbyist Act MP misleads the public on the semi-automatic weapon issue…Mrs McKee has talked up there being over 6600 people licensed to possess semis, whereas there are only 1593 allowed to possess the banned weapons–presumably ...
Is this an Israeli Embassy handout or similar? It makes no odds if Israel finds a cure for cancer if they continue to run an Apartheid State–which they do with walls, cages, brutality, imprisonment of minors, attacks on religious services and funerals, and...
What a hilarious comment–do realise how many Palestinians have been “relocated” over the 75 years of occupation? No relocation needed for Jewish people that pull their heads in and are willing to live in harmony with the rest in one state. Right of return ...
I am not immune, just frustrated at what to do from our distance. The IDF are filthy butchers and the Knesset loaded to the gunwales with psychopaths seemingly determined to eradicate Palestinians in Gaza as much as the Nazis did jews in the WWII Warsaw ...
Suicide Prevention Office to be canned–what could be a likely result of that one might ask… Thousands of public servants & contractors to be slashed also…will they be on the pitiful “Job Seeker Allowance” subject to the sadistic maze that is WINZ/MSD, or ...
Whatever the political stripe if he is pointing out the obvious about Israel’s behaviour in public, good on Mr Duncan. Unlike our current Govt. Ministers, RNZ now seems to get important stories via OIAs because Natzo Ministers regularly refuse interviews.
Thanks for your reply Subliminal. Israel as a state should be wound up really, and the people of the world have the power to make it so–not today perhaps, but it will happen.
Heh, you are probably right GA, but…nothing ever happens if you do not raise a demand… I just hope enough new gens get politically aware and active.
While the headline from DiEM25 is a little dramatic, the article is nicely explanatory. https://diem25.org/is-natural-gas-the-real-reason-for-the-genocide-in-gaza/ With World Central Kitchen staff being killed in such a manner, what more adjectives are ...
Mike the Lefty is right, George Galloway may not be everyones fave, but he has principles and sticks to them with good results recently from a large Muslim vote. NZ Labour needs to make a grovelling apology to the NZ working class for fucking their lives ...
Agree with Micky’s piece, little need to add to much of it. But one more thing…the attack on EVs really ticks me off, so it was great to discover this organisation, largely funded by benefactors, that says NZ is now at the tipping point of a massive move ...
There is some truth in that if you have a reasonably detailed knowledge of the NZ Dairy industry as it has evolved and the ownership strands. But until someone “names names” it sounds much like a 5 Eyes beat up with the Poms, Aussies and Yanks all chiming ...
After 40 years of the legacy of “Roger’n’Ruth” NZ Labour owes the working class of this country a grovelling apology at the very least for all those redundancies of the 80s/90s, market rents, State Sector Act, creation of an ongoing underclass which was ...
The “pie and Penthouse” bunglers roll on…
Well, well, well…GCSB caught out again…Helen Clark has nailed it. Secret ops from if not the official NZ “pie and Penthouse” brigade–NZSIS–then next cab off the rank in the bungler department. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/512348/gcsb-staff-who-...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
