That's a really good question Cinny. Who does elect the board? From my understanding it is whoever those in 'power' can muster to maintain their power at any given time. Of course I could be wrong but word is that there was some type of coup back in 2014 ...
Ah Ritchie my mate, everyone loves you I like the way they flock to your cause They worship your skill, oh yes they do They admire and give you constant applause I wish I were you Ritchie, your name is appealing I wish I could have some of your standing ...
Thanks for the great feedback! Just to let you know I have changed that horrible Perspex security screen - it was too constricting!
Are the Labour party on the left?
A number of people need to take a deep breath and exercise a little self control right now. David Shearer is one of them. Please, David, dont keep undermining the good opinion most of us have of you, as you have been doing since the election.
Thanks for posting this: agreed, we all need to read this and digest it. The piece had 5,000 shares on the Herald yesterday, and from people who are foodies, etc, rather than political animals. The comments from good folk are heartening, if you think this ...
[Collins] said she had " no record of any Facebook conversations" with Slater. "Cameron has advised me that he has now gone through all his Facebook conversations and there are none with me. I am now considering lodging a complaint to Police regarding what...
I'd say Key/ Nats were desperate to get some control back over the issue (which they didnt have as the emails were being dripfed, and they were fearful about what was out there), and put out a call to those involved (including Cactus) to go and look for ...
There's a real gem if you missed it, on Radio Live yesterday: Hooton and Boag going at each other hammer and tongs: it's beautiful. http://www.radiolive.co.nz/Audio.aspx go to Sunday at 10: 15, and you are right in it.
It's true
So, for simplicity's sake, and because this story is so complex it's gonna be hard to convey, if there's an MO here, a pattern, that would include Goff and Cunliffe incidents, it would seen to have these elements. weeks out from an election, a staged slur ...
'This will be devastating for Goff' hmmm. Yinno it's the coverup, John, it's always the coverup. And, in this case, it's also the nasty nest of conspirators, and the corpses you seem to have to hug these days.
Here's Bryce Edwards account of previous Jason Ede stuff, from December last year... http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/NZ-POLITICS-DAILY-13-dec
un-named mp? well, he did say 'we' when referring to caucus meeting on Tuesday, so I guess that's that. What he's done, of course, is shit on every single Labour person out there working their arse off to get as many into parliament as poss. I dont care if...
The 2000 teachers policy is a beaut! making sure they and their colleagues are top quality teachers is absolutely crucial too: decent pay, professional respect, attracting the best people and keeping them there have got to be part of this, but making a few...
ah dear.... you are a drear soul cancerman. just imagine for a minute, you might manage it. constituent is a word you can use to describe someone living in your electorate, or who is presented as doing that. Mr Liu might not have met the strictest and ...
A 16,000 majority is quite a thing, and its residues might just be enough to get this boy over the line in Clutha Southland. But it wont be a 'win' if the good folk of Clutha Southland do what lots are talking about doing, and vote in significant numbers ...
So in what sense is it possible for Collins to call this a 'private' dinner? It was clearly specifically set up to be an official dinner, with a Chinese official, commanded attendance from the Ambassador and his wife, an MFAT briefing. Then at some point ...
And now the Dom Post's editorial is joining the bandwagon against this selection. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/comment/editorials/9996252/Editorial-Tobacco-stain-on-would-be-MP "Above all, he says his "greatest sympathies go out" to the victims of ...
The only light in the tunnels that boys been in are personal influence, campaign contributions and a long Party future. That's the direction he'll be growing in, mark my words.
Todd will only grow according to the light and nutrition and experience he gathers. The thing, Fizz, about being in the environments he's been in is that you've been doing it in a dark room full of horseshit where everything is poisoned by $ and nicotine (...
I mean, it's not a good first foot forward, is it? First thing you do for your candidate is lie about something.
Now why would they do that: it can only have been deliberate. Someone sitting down saying, shit, we need to lie about his age. THAT is a contrast that says more about these people than the fact that he's young. They are happy to lie to us right upfront ...
yes well put. I think he will be keen to perform for them, though, and doubtless Bill English was failing to deliver for them: he famously declined, i hear, to bend road funding rules to accommodate them!
Southland Times editorial yesterday would have stung a bit: after all it's Todd's hometown paper. http://www.stuff.co.nz/southland-times/opinion/9986445/From-deadly-smoke-to-nice-safe-seat "The extent to which his electorate will be willing to set aside ...
I see the Queenstown Mirror are running with the story: "The Doctor vs the Tobacco Company Man" is frontpage... It's Fairfax so linking is tough: Type Queenstown Mirror into Google, and go with the top listing.
The Southland Times are scathing about this guy, trotting out some more good ol' southern/ rural political wisdom to question his credentials: Here's a line from their editorial on the subject "In the meantime that hoary old line that a gumboot could get ...
Meg, tell us about the 'special treatment' that you think Maori receive?
rto. Do you have a cake mixer, or any other appliances that make life easier? Do you have a stove or do you cook over a campfire? Do you have a washing machine or do you wash in the local stream? Do you have a camera, or do you do rapid sketching? Of ...
Saw a bright young thing being interviewed on telly last night at one of the malls having sale. She was so excited because she had bought al of this STUFF for $10.00 each and was off to another mall to carry on buying more STUFF. Loaded down with bags and ...
I agree karol. A lot of people (probably ones who have never tried it themselves) think you just pop a seed or seedling and it will grow. We have a large vegetable garden and it requires lots of time, lots of money, constant vigilance, good rainfall, no ...
