John Key ought to have a plant named after him. A sewerage treatment plant.
Thank you Anthony for your clear description of yet another neo-liberal scam. I want to post this article on my Facebook page but somehow that is not working. Any suggestions?
Good one James. Key's 'zinger' re the CGT turned out to be a hollow zinger. Last night on the news David Cunliffe said the issue round family homes and trusts is very clearly stated in the policy announcement and he effectively called Key a nasty liar. ...
Thank you Bryan Gould!
A still shot image of the skiff in National's slick Election Video needs to be made, with the words- 'Vote National We'll sell you down the river' blazoned across it. Wish I had the know-how to do it. Be great for Facebook etc
Students are fighting back. The link to the Daily Blog below is a speech by students at Auckland University given directly to Steven Joyce who was about to give a speech. It's a must read, it details all the nasty tinkering Mr Fuxit has done to Tertiary ...
Is there anything criminal in what Collins did? Would love to see her in jail, double bunking, in a used container in a private prison.
+1. And a Minister for the Arts, a proper one.
Thank you Rob Gilchrist. Your last sentence 'He's not a conspiracy theorist, he is very good at finding conspiracies' is pure gold and should be quoted to Key, Slater, Collins et al.
PS- She made much the same sane points that BUNJI made in this Post. Thank you BUNJI.
@Papa Tuanuku- Listened to the audio-player link you provided. Didn't notice any tape turning off only silly Espiner continually interrupting and trying to stick to his 'But the Greens did it too' attack/ agenda. But Meteria wouldn't have bar of it and ...
@ john. Those were anti-hate chants.

Ruth Richardson is a director of Synlait. Go figure.
The question that needs to be asked of John Key is:- The seventy billion dollar govt Debt, what was that spent on?
A day without The Standard is hard to bear. Glad you are back and a big thank you to lprent.
National's Standards for Pollution.
Exactly my thoughts too geoff. She's incompetent as far as Social Welfare is concerned, she may be good at the neoliberal 'Welfare is a problem which we need to get rid' bullshit but she doesn't give a shit about the real problem which is poverty. She is ...
@ greywarbler. Yep, I'm for real. Absolutely no satire in what I said above.
Perhaps, if David Parker cannot see his way past increasing the retirement age he should not be a wannabe Minister of Finance. Five years of Bludger Bill's Bullshit at NZ's Finance Helm has been quite enough tinkering by incompetent, blinkered, ideologues....
Thank you Lynn for the Standard and thank you Karol and all the other writers for their great posts. You are all generous indeed.
'......end up living on a luxury liner permanently.' That would be Douglas "about time i got my knighthood" Myers' private yacht no doubt. After all Myers runs a 'Charitable' Trust which advises oil companies on how to twist Governments' arms in order to ...
Me too, but only with The Standard website.
'may many wealthy catholics digest this bread'. RT, if you meant Catholics then I certainly hope Bill English will digest this bread. Or, perhaps, choke on it?
You are absolutely right Plan B. It seems that Private School fees are classed as donations and therefor tax deductible i.e. the Parent pays nothing towards the Govt's Education spending but the Govt.gives Private Schools money anyway. Is this yet another ...
And some corporates are demonstrating too. Telecom, Vodafone and a host of other companies have withdrawn their advertising from Radiolive in protest at Willy Jackson and John Tamihere's disgusting treatment of a young woman they interviewed on air.
Tax Avoiders Union in other words?
In a nutshell-fucking great!
Hats off to you both.
Ohariu-Belmont might have been taken from Peter Dunne if EITHER Labour or the Greens had indicated to voters to vote a certain way. That is what Bolger did in Wellington Central when Prebble first reared his ugly Act head, he told Nat supporters to vote ...
John Key and his coterie are vandals .With virtually all of their so-called policies they have managed to steal, destroy, warp and demean pieces of our country and our lives. Instead of a knighthood Key and Co need a lengthy stretch in prison, triple ...
