I know roads aren't fashionable at the moment. This is the latest update on Te Ahu a Turanga the Manawatu Gorge replacement road. It has a voiceover with the construction manager. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMHD4t7Hoaw Due for completion in a little ...
Must tautoko that ^^. Funny what you take for granted. Thanks for yr mahi, (I assume) lprent.
I wasn't aware of this documentary, forgive me if it has already been noted here. https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2024/03/12/the-liberal-agenda-the-assange-documentary-the-trust-fall-review-5-stars/ Going back to the Moment of Truth in 2014, I recall being a ...
I think his socially conservative views would have been a barrier to leadership. Which would have been a shame.
Yep, not surprising, more palangi uncomfortable with some bolshie, assertive wahine Maori. Edit; if Winston's getting snickerty then they are probably on the right track.
One key employment difference between elite sports folk and the rest of us is they are often told to 'express themselves'. Not being a wahine yaself I will leave their actions to them rather than heed your palangi concern.
Can't help but feel there is more to the paragraph than the once over lightly feel of it's presentation. "The previous Labour government sought to amalgamate TVNZ and RNZ into a BBC-style entity strong and diverse enough to withstand the rapid decline in ...
That's a great read, thanks Molly.
Yeah, the music section. This weekend gone I saw 3 bands in 3 cities. (CC activists look away). Due to not paying attention to dates I said yes to a gig in Aucks while committed to gigs in and around Wellies. Friday night Queens of the Stone Age at TSB. ...
As far as I can tell, Stuff and Herald are there to serve their paymasters, ie the real estate industry.
Had tea with my Mum tonight and had the misfortune to see a 6 pm news bulletin. Charging us more for registration and then having some wanker from the trucking industry saying that drivers can't wait for the potholes to be filled. From memory (TBF recall ...
Here is another angle of austerity Aotearoa style. 2 young workers, killed and Worksafe decides sitting on it's hands is the fiscally appropriate thing to do. There is power imbalance, cruelty and exploitation visited upon the families of two young men. ...
Clearly there is anger and disappointment at this regime's direction of travel and the carnage they are visiting upon us. It must be a better approach to look at all lobbying in parliament and the public serv8ce to solve this and, arguably, other more ...
That report and Luxon's response is a good argument for squatters rights to be recognised. Not only Premier House but any of his or other's properties, should they be uninhabited. Definitely an empty home tax. To make this palatable, it can initially be ...
"You've got it the wrong way round. They feed the masses what the masses say they want to see and hear..." You have just described a lot of what is wrong with our democracy and Labour last time round. Too much attention to constant polling and focus groups...
Hipkins had that coming. President of the Simon Bridges fanclub, Pugh, was incorrect, but Hipkins did say the Speaker was doing the government's bidding by interupting his flow then answering back. Yet another own goal.
This popped up in a biochar enthusiasts group e-mail. Why Solid Carbon is the Future of Energy Storage (youtube.com) Thermal energy storage as opposed to chemical bonds. 17 minutes, communicated well (not too brainy) and optimistic.
"If there are shortages in markets that can pay more, what do you think is going to happen?" This is the problem with Aotearoa being a global market participant. Our viability as a society is at the whims of 'the market' and companies that have balance ...
I heard the interview and thought professor Janet Hoek was brilliant. A couple of things occurred to me, she was an unusually brave and frank academic. Also, when Lisa Owen asked a question that was more about Hoek's opinion of the PM's scripted lines ...
5 minutes was more than enough, thanks. The empire will cope without my attention.
I've just given your link 5 minutes of my life. Willie Jackson korero. That is supporting and enabling the empire on steroids.
I am fully aware of the article and the wriggly wording of Labour's petition. My point stands, one of the few things they have raised their heads above the parapet for us a culture issue not class, not the short sighted ferry cancellation, not 6 house ...
My issue is Labour's framing of the issue. Tinetti implying that the government was wanting to get rid of teaching consent when it was fairly obvious that it is the gender ideology that has proved controversial. So wrapped up in the Trans Women are Women ...
Yr welcome. "I recall NACT during the campaign making noises about axing sex education in schools." Replace axing with changing and you are getting closer to the truth. Less of the gender stuff as far as I can make out. But not 'axing'.
Hang on, they have started a petition. Made some dubious claims (implying the government wants to axe sex ed) and want you to sign./sarc https://www.labour.org.nz/petition-protect-sex-ed-resources-in-schools
It matters little what time pattern the music is, you are dancing on the head of a pin defending Mitchell.
There is a wry chuckle to be had considering the millions spent on the rebranding, so that we will use the name Woolworths. The rats in the Dunedin supermarket are at a Countdown.
Yep, you go boyfriend. Get stuck in.
Funny how these conversations can cause a bit of mental chewing gum that lasts all week. I've re-read your comment as I was under the illusion that voting was a way to defeat the empire. I've got it now. It occurred to me while stacking this seasons ...
With that crude we were able to make diesel, jet fuel, petrol and fuel oil for ships. Also much needed bitumen for repairs. No matter which way you look at it we are now less resilient, and more reliant on the whims of the market and beholden to ...
I am curious if any of y'all here think Aotearoa buying bitumen from overseas is a step forward, a good idea? Just been looking at an article about Marsden Point and found NZ First have gotten an investigation into reopening the refinery. Resilience has ...
