Grant, I think you need a dictionary. Look up "virtually" and "unemployment". I think you'll find you're wrong. Worse, you haven't given a thought to underemployment. A lot of poverty is due to people having to make do with half a job (or less) and half (...
Looks like Glen Eden, West Coast Road.
Amen Draco!! Unitec's slash and burn approach to staff management, and the puzzling decision to recruit businessmen rather than academics for positions like Dean of School (the current Dean of Business is still working on his Masters, whereas usually ...
"I wonder if one of the hidden costs of the crushing of unionism was the removal of an important reality check on senior managers?" Ya THINK?? Manage-munt has become rampant since effective worker representation got the bullet. That it has persisted and ...
Surely exploring the question as a matter of ethics as stated by Dr Hardy below for saying YES to medical cannabis apply here. See Paul A Hardy Clinical Leader Pain Management, CCDHB Wellington "There is, therefore, incontrovertible evidence that cannabis ...
i really like using lower case instead of caps. there is a full stop. not sure what the capitalisation adds to the full stop. have never been sure. caps should be used where they clarify meaning such as a cat called Cat, but not sure what they add to a ...
No surprise Jonkey's gift to Bronagh comes from overseas, he doesn't care about the NZ economy after all.
Don't worry. Be happy, true. We hear about the 1% thing, but perhaps to rephrase it to something like 5 Paraetae Drive families have more money than the whole of South Auckland, Porirua or whatever. We need to be framing things in a way that makes it more ...
Michael, the issues around funding of ACC when National came into government were caused by the impact of the GFC on the fund ACC had invested to make ACC fully funded. That fund had previously been performing very well, but returns were hit by the GFC. ...
Why is no one referencing the louse in the sewer - Hone and his staff appointments?
Why is no one referencing the louse in the attic - Hone and his staff appointments?

Ms X, I get where you are coming from, but PLEASE don't leave. I believe the membership has to bring the caucus back in line, and we have to build the party at flax roots level. It has been the caucus behaviour post election that has been so disappointing....
A revolt might be welcome, they could revolt themselves right out of Parliament so we can rebuild the party.

Love how when I gave to Hagar fund, my card didn't get charged an extra $8 like it did when I gave to the Daily Blog !! And for the record, when I commented about it to find out why, my comment never got past moderation.

Is there any way David Parker would change his mind and run? He is very able and relatable, including to Aucklanders, but also to the provinces. He has been very competent as deputy leader and finance spokesperson. His policy of controlling inflation via ...
Labour caucus up to their usual tricks, talking to journalists instead of demonstrating discipline and unity: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/10541279/Powerless-Cunliffe-told-to-quit?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Hope Labour won't be missing in action, too busy squabbling about the leadership. And then bitching about the leader if it's not the man they wanted.
I agree that we need to accept the democratic decision of the Party and support whoever gets elected as leader. But we also have to claim back the party and rebuild at a grass roots level. The MPs are OUR appointees. We have to provide the leadership in ...
Oh for goodness sake ... BOO HOO
I would urge all Labour Party members to email the whole caucus and tell them what we think of them talking to journalists about what should happen with the leadership and party direction instead of to each other and to US. Caucus need us if they have any ...
+1. Caucus has to grow up and accept whatever the result is of a democratic election process. They are free to participate fully in the contest, but once the decision is made they need to do the right thing.
True, last election they got an extra MP out of the special votes.
But the real 'poll of polls' is the election day result. And as I said they held their vote. I disagree with your contention that the POP is more relevant than actual election results.
But we can make sure that the grass roots are active in electorate campaigns. Our LEC is already gearing up for 2017. We are going to make sure we get a campaign manager who understands MMP. And if our electorate MP doesn't like it, they can appoint their ...
Actually the South Island is the centre of the universe lol :))
Micky FYI, the Green's vote didn't sink, it actually held to the 2011 result.
