@ Nick This poor offering made me fume: I did not consider that any of the international headlines i had seen or indeed those mentioned had made us a 'laughing stock'. https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/political/353550/pm-s-spy-comments-make-nz-a-laughing-...
@ mickysavage Can we please have a different (better) photo of Winston on this post ... and on other posts that photos of Winston are needed. Thankyou.
Am still feeling sad that r0b is retiring but am really glad that "new faces" are stepping forward Matthew, thankyou.
Thank you God, Andrew Little, Jacinda, Winston and James Shaw. Am going to sleep relieved, hopeful and happy in Aotearoa for the first time in nine long years. Fantastic outcome, fantastic night, fantastic MMP.
"Under my leadership there will be action .... no more autopilot." Great closing line from Jacinda . (TVNZ1 leaders' debate tonight.)
Well that shut Paddy Gower up (9.41pm) as they went to break. Stunning response from Jacinda, "We can do that now Paddy," on decriminalising cannabis question. So surprised by Gower's expression and silence, that I forgot the actual statement that caused ...
Warning....Tony Abbott eats onions skin and all and remember what happened to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tqXSPkDbX4
Even tho' it's days later......... thanks for the cheery uplift Draco. Much appreciated.
How about this from Toby Morris or Pencilsword. Straight to the point, in fact the very heart....... of the matter. http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/on-the-inside/336881/turei-s-exit-no-fairytale-ending
With you on "brilliant" Beatie. As I saw it it just lit my'awareness button' and I thought this should be seen by all, so they too can experience this bit of 'magic'. Love Toby Morris' Pencilsword.. it certainly cuts to the chase..... especially in this ...
Oops my comment is on wrong post, should have been on lprent's "O.K. so I'm pissed off with the Labour caucus...". This dopey mistake just reinforces why I don't comment too much anymore!
@lprent Not being able to write comments too easily anymore I would like to say that I totally agree with everything you have written in your post and your comments (not sure about NZF one tho') Thank ypu for expressing them so well. Am voting Green too ...
"We don't want a Tory Tribute Act as an Opposition." Loved this line.
Thank you for posting this speech. David Cunliffe was indeed a man of substance ...... if only........ Had he become PM I might not have been alternately weeping and cheering for LoveSoup in this report on Newshub tonight: http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/...
MikeS For some evidence please look at the link I posted to garibaldi on April 18 @3.32pm, comment 5.1.1
Thanks Ann. Jesus was certainly exceptional, hence Easter day. Btw. always appreciate your comments. You are one of the main commenters that make me want to follow the standard., cheers, and Happy Eastertide.
Excellent comment new student, thanks for this vital observation. Male carers were very important for my severely disabled non verbal teens and growing adult male students, many of whom had no family around them. And thanks Terry Win for 40years of caring ...
Hi garibaldi here's an effort to provide "evidence": https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/14/what-is-the-historical-evidence-that-jesus-christ-lived-and-died I particularly liked the last sentence of the article: "The more interesting question... ...
Wonderful thankyou post rOb, thankyou. Well done Kristine Bartlett and the SFWU, So well deserved. This helps all our female healthcare workers breathe a little more easily.
Thankyou for reminding us of the truth this Eastertide ropata Pertinent link. Had been thinking of sending that very article to Bill English myself as he is (supposedly) of the Catholic denomination of Christianity.
This was the 'advertising' article on the wonders of social investment which appeared in the Herald in March last year. It chilled me to the bone: https://home.kpmg.com/nz/en/home/insights/2016/09/social-investment-set-to-save.html KPMG's website has been ...
Stream worked fine for me on Green Party site. Metiria's speech was stunning, fierce, principled and majestic. What an inspiring leader!
@Carolyn.nth 9.52am "Maori related issues." Which he now finds "cringe worthy"
@Sam.C @3.43pm 10.1.17A.D. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11780560 kind regards, seeker. Ever hopeful of your eventual enlightenment Sam.
Peter Leitch (at least he apologised), Michelle Boag and now Bill English have all made me "cringe" over the last few days.
@lprent 8.36am "there is sufficient evidence to show..." and here is another report headlined: UK intelligence gave US key tip off about Russian hacking https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/07/russia-us-election-hacking-uk-intelligence
Wonderful comment Sanctuary, thank you. I concur and also wish all a more becoming New Year 2017 with a New Zealand free of a national government and finally getting on to work on child poverty, housing and poverty and environment resuscitation.
@Skinny 5.54pm Thank you for posting this clip of Bennett. I was looking for it everywhere when I saw he had been promoted (and just when I thought he was going). It was one of the most deplorable things I have ever heard from an MP , someone who is meant ...
@savenz 11.28am Agree. I am glad, especially for Labour, that he has gone, and gone back to doing what he apparently does best.
@Robert G.@3.55pm How is that comment even wise, helpful or respectful to any living creature. As others have said before 'if you can't say anything helpful , don't say anything at all'.
@joe90 3.21pm Such a good description of Trump's ghastly behaviour during the debate. Not to mention his bad manners displaying his lack of respect for HC in that rather than use her name he referred to her continuously as "she" . I was never allowed to ...
