(a comment of mine just vanished.. where did it go..? And re the non-dairy milks:..the Pam's home brand soy milk has the best taste/texture for tea/coffee.. And vanilla flavoured anything is good for breakfasts... The one to be wary of is almond milk...it ...
I thought I was being quite restrained. The sooner people realise what is coming..the upending of our animal based export-industry..the better.. We can still grow fruit/veg..like real farmers do.. I don't think animal fatteners deserve the sobriquet of ...
And those addicted to tearing flesh from the bone can relax ..this air-grown protein can be made into beef/chicken/pig-meat etc .. So there is no need of cultural change ..no need to see the light..and turn vegan..or anything like that .. Market forces ...
It won't let me edit/remove duplicate..
The end of our enslaving of other species..(to do with what we will)..will see massive land use changes in NZ .. One would expect that that the rural land currently used/abused to those enslaving ends...will see a sharp drop in value...as those export ...
There is a bit of excitement over here in vegan-corner... We have seen the future of protein/food...and it looks really good... Move aside plant-based meats ..here comes protein grown from a microbe ..and thin air .. At first glance it seems like magic..(...
And one of our greatest shames has to be how the Maori veterans..of both wars...were mis-treated/ignored after their service..
Rnz reports that Seymour spoke at the dawn service in ak.. (I'm sure that didn't please everybody...) And he said that we must not forget what they fought for.. Memo to Mr seymour:..I'm pretty sure those soldiers didn't fight for widespread homelessness/...
That guardian piece also highlights the amount/degree of lobbying in NZ by big tobacco.. That should be a worry..
You are still defending that comment..? Right ho .! And just because you are old... doesn't stop your comment being ageist..
Lee was a bit of a shocker on her previous outing as a minister .. I was surprised when she popped up again.. ..made me think the national talent-pool must be ankle-deep... And penny Simmonds is still environment minister.. (That's reassuring..eh..?)
And you are some sorta oil painting..are you Adrian...? (That is the most sexist/ageist/shallow comment I have read in a while.. It makes me sympathetic to/defending Costello..and I didn't see that coming..)
..and gang patches...!
To his credit.. Holyoake resisted the heavy leaning on him from both u.s. and Australia (who were firmly attached to America's hip .and in there boots and all) They wanted him/NZ to 'do more'... He demurred...
No thanks...I wouldn't join dunne in a lifeboat..
Have you forgotten the Tories berating Clark for not taking us into Iraq...? Had they been in power..we would have had sent our soldiers to that imperial action..
@kat.. Um..!...he wasn't gung ho..but Holyoke did take us into Vietnam...
Kinda rare to agree with mahary...but I do...
Are you kidding Anne..?... H.clark took us into Afghanistan.. Wasn't that a good idea..?
@ Anne . Re labour being ignored....I can understand that... I know what my recent reaction was to Phil Twyford popping up to pontificate on social housing.. I watched gape-mouthed..as he banged on about what this gummint should do... As an example of bare...
So that's what Santana are doing now...
Of course they have the numbers...but given the opportunist party that is NZ first ..this dilutes somewhat the far-right mandate they claim to have.. What is also different this time is that national have lurched to the right..it can now be said that ...
Re homelessness: Now you are veering into the failures of the ardern gummint...(..which I can bang on about).. And/but are kinda off-topic..as far as this conversation goes..eh..?
Number one...you are talking apples and oranges as far as this discussion is concerned.. Number two:..that comes across as a reckon by you...not backed up by any evidence.. 3..and as a result of the failure to introduce capital gains tax/land tax/estate ...
Given as you are given to rely on numbers when making your case .I am kinda puzzled by your studious ignoring of the huge differences in what we pay for our public service..and what the likes of countries like Sweden/Norway pay (i.e.double..).and that we ...
@traveller.. See post of business roundtable report (below)..by d.o.s... Then get back to us...
Nice one..!..(first time I've said that about the business roundtable...those incorrigible lefties..) I am looking forward to the answer/mea culpa owed by traveller .. I wonder how those numbers are going down..
Heh..!...I just read one of those psychological profile things ..called the nine marks of the confident introvert.. And it nailed me..!..in a disturbing number of ways..given as we all like to fancy ourselves as being unique .. Mind you..it is kinda ...
There are also other factors to consider: So we have that three percent catch-up..but what would also need to be under consideration is changing demands on that public service.. necessitating an increase in staff to answer that demand.. I can think of ...
Seeing as you have all the facts at your fingertips.. Could you tell us how much the population grew during those key-years..? I guess I am wondering if the public service needed to make up for nine years of not enough to keep up with population growth.....
Nah..!..David.. This lot are rogernomics redux.. They don't give a fuck about hurting the most vulnerable..all in the name of their rightwing ideology...backed by the opportunists that are NZ 1st . And all this heavily laced with racism... They are so ugly...
