A neutral nation that doesn't take a stand on anything?
It's interesting reading that kiwiblog link how disliked Cameron Slater is by both sides of the political spectrum. And some of the responses after he himself commentated were gold.... "Dexter (473 comments) says: December 7th, 2015 at 11:37 pm "PG…most of...
The irony is that LF publishes a multitude of extremely defamatory, aggressive and threatening posts towards a large range of people. I know they hide behind the fact they aren't registered, but if that was the case why would they be 'blocked' by New ...
And I guess you believe that OJ Simpson is innocent as well. It's pointless debating with people who see things in black and white, unless of course it doesn't suit their personal narrative.
Alternatively if they don't like it, don't impersonate a cop and forge signatures to commit crimes. They didn't actually need to go through with it to prove it could have been done. The latter course just made for better t.v...
It's a little bit ironic to see all the racists coming out of the wood work to claim that Mahuta's demotion was because they didn't value Maori or their votes. I think it indicates the opposite is true. She was complete dead wood, who achieved and ...
Isn't Doug's predicament also a product made entirely of his own choices in life? And his history is relevant, if he has committed minor victimless crimes (would he have wound up in jail for those?) it's a lot different than if he was someone who preyed on...
If Cairns was so sure he had never cheated, then he wouldn't have tried to get Fitch Holland to recruit Vincent and Tuffey to make false statements that Cairns was innocent, the most telling point is that those two players (one of whom has admitted to ...
Nope that's not the same. They are trying to work alongside/with police so they can freely access the data/information they request, bypassing the OIA. Hence why they have to sign a contract. You don't have to sign a contract to receive information under ...
Why is this sort of bigotry towards trans people accepted on this blog. This is really puerile infantile stuff that I would expect from Cam Slater. Pathetic.
But then you end up sacrificing thousands of our own soldiers and leaving their families and communities bereft. The only effective strategy is the one that kills the most ISIS and the least amount of innocents be they civilians or our own soldiers.
Sorry duplicate comment but I put this in the wrong reply field... The point is that Gilbert didn’t request any information under the official information act. He was applying to be part of a research group that was able to bypass the OIA and be put in a ...
The point is that Gilbert didn't request any information under the official information act. He was applying to be part of a research group that was able to bypass the OIA and be put in a trusted position whereby they were working alongside the cops and ...
Good point. And no offence to Lprent but I don't see the same rigors applied to comments that support the consensus view?
Stating child abuse is directly due to poverty is not only woefully naive but it's also completely insulting to the vast amount of parents living in poverty who don't abuse their children. If there was a direct causation as opposed to a correlation, child ...
This is a simplistic, naive and very unsophisticated opinion, written by someone, who I expect, lives in a very sheltered bubble. If poverty was a causative factor in child abuse, then child abuse would be absolutely rampant in the poorest nations on earth...
You seem to forget that Winston's politics are more aligned to the conservative and right than they are to the left. As history shows us, he is just as likely to ally with National if they offer him a mere sniff of any power.
Richard Prosser, xenophobia, trashing the treaty....some things are just too unpalatable and they are an odious force in our politics.
Or a single other witness to support the claim that he belittled the student and called it boring. Very strange.
Oh I don't doubt he said it, but as to the tone, impact and intent....well we haven't had hundreds of kids come forth to corroborate this side of it or even a single other witness for that matter. I personally think Maori language month is a good idea, but...
Is there another witness or clip for this? It seems kind of strange to be basing such a reaction around a single witness in an audience of hundreds.... Reading between the lines it sounds more like he is guilty of speaking honestly about how your average ...
Natures song. Here is just a basic example of what could happen. Now imagine Slaters crowing if that had been him... http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11479451
"As there is widespread debate and doubts, the police should have tested it in the court. They have set a bad precedent for the future." No because the courts have already said the Police shouldn't arrest, charge and prosecute people to 'test' evidence in ...
I'm not sure where your aggression comes from, and there is nothing in the rules that I can see about having to have a link to everything you claim. If there is I apologize, but it would also appear that the vast majority of commentators assert 'facts' ...
Because it's hypocritical to demand that Slater be prosecuted for 'hacking' when at the same time Hager sold a book for profit as a direct result of someone hacking into Slaters emails. And it's simply not the polices job to let the courts decide, infact ...
The Police have charged and convicted Slater before. They are hardly biased towards him and in fact, if anything the opposite is true. They also didn't prosecute Hager or labour in order to 'let the courts decide'...as case law has dictated when Police ...
Would you rather that they then revert to the American model of policing and treat every traffic stop as a life or death encounter, ordering occupants out of cars and on the ground for minor infractions and shooting those who don't comply. The reality is ...
Nicky Hager isn't being prosecuted....
All I'm seeing are people biased against the outcome complaining against it. Trying to suggest that the Police are corrupt purely because you don't get the decision you want is rather churlish not to mention ridiculous. Given that they undoubtedly expect ...
