Got zero sympathy for Ross. The National Party maybe better off without him but I doubt it. Leopard's don't change their spots easily. The party he represents is a nasty bit of work and exemplifies the 'Master and Servant' ethos that the Nats want to force...
Finally I said what's been in my mind about this guy for several years. Ditto Stephen Franks. (Another nasty insane right-winger) who somehow continues to get talk space on National Radio.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/106770497/borrowing-on-state-house-spending-has-more-than-a-whiff-of-hollywood-about-it Liam, we know you don't care about the homeless. We know you love the Natz. We know you are a right winger that ...
What are the ramifications for us?
I remember a commentator saying the Greens were bolstered by disaffected Labour supporters in the 1980's. The Values Party were the original Green Party.
The Greens were originally a spin-off from the Labour Party whose members got peeved off by Rogernomics in the 1980's so there's a natural hybridisation there. Under MMP I'd say the Greens are an essential part of the mix in order for a centre left ...
It just does my head in that Labour are signing up to this insane agreement. Questions is: who are they beholden to (who has lobbied them the most?) that causes them to sign it? I think i can guess. The silence from within the Party is deafening. The LEC's...
To Kirk Hopes piece in stuff today (https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/97072267/labours-fair-pay-agreements-mark-biggest-industrial-relations-change-in-a-decade), here is my reply: Kirk, you and your ilk are right-wing fascists who have a very deep vested ...
There's something very, very scary about that photo.
Great stuff. Andrews looking very Presidential these days.
You deserve an Oscar mate for that piece!
I'm sad to see David go but he was the victim of National Party spin which means he was a serious threat to the Tories. Imagine how good a Labour Government could have been with Helen Kelly as PM and David Cunliffe as deputy.
I was going to say 'dumb and dumber' but more accurately its more like 'cruel and crueler'.
Some of you jokers (jokeresses) are bloody funny to read today. Cut the humour will ya, this is supposed to be a serious forum after all!
Sounds like a similar situation with Spotless and Compass doing the privatised jobs of providing poor public food services for our hospitals, military bases and various boarding schools and rest homes around New Zealand.
Here's my student loan rant from a few days ago that i posted as a comment to one of the contributors on a series about student loans on stuff.co.nz. I just thought it contained some good valid points and maybe could provoke some more intelligent debate ...
So three guesses who appointed her and why? Can she be removed and replaced by somebody more suitable? Someone who actually did stuff to help people rather than someone who was all out to make as much money as possible for herself and her cronies?
It's funny you know cos the Manawatu Evening Standard has a right wing nut job (RWNJ) called Liam Hehir who writes an uninformed 'free' column for them each week yet a left wing blogger called Peter Wheeler is not allowed to have his column published in ...
I seem to remember a certain economics lecturer at Massey University telling students there was only only one economic theory namely Neo Classical Economics, which we all know is total B.S. He should be removed from Massey because his denouncing of and ...
True but that's just the Australian accent coming through!
Bernie's speech was great. He gets to the point quickly and elaborates on it clearly.
Very pertinent and humorous comments there TRP.
It's naive to believe that a dirty tricks campaign could not even possibly be operating across NZ through the right-wing 'networks' that Key has at his disposal and that includes altering polls to display more deceptive realities. After 'Dirty Politics' we...
Damn good speech really!
The idea that Labour and the Greens are not making good responses to the Governments stuff ups is disingenuous. Good speeches in Parliament by Grant Robinson and others have been posted here but their snippets have not been screened or played on MSM radio ...
Very good!
"The 1% have only got this much to go before they have everything wrapped up!".
Another damn good post on thestandard BLIP! One can't help but think that the nails must be flying off the crate that houses this crock of shite government so fast that internal combustion is a very real possibility any day now. How much longer can the ...
Brilliant stuff from the Greens! In the end, the truth it does come out.
Yeah i noticed the porkers taking our pics at the first TPPA gig in Palmy last week. Seems we're being analised!
Yeah Key never says anything significant or substantial does he.
