As I have said repeatedly in my opinion there is little difference between Labour and National anymore. CP-TPP, 90 day law and now asking an ex National party leader to head up a working group on industrial relations......
Yes the so called boost for the health sector when measured on a yearly basis is not nearly enough. What looks like a right wing National budget from a supposedly left wing govt. Can't say I'm surprised......
"And when that perpetual identity about me gets in the hands of a central government, such as China, there’s no chance democracy will emerge." What makes you think democracy is so wonderful? Its democracy that makes the spying possible, its democracy that ...
No its not dead...China is heading more and more back towards traditional Communism.....extending social services into regional areas...etc Its more here in the West where we have sold out any form of socialist system for bare faced late stage capitalism...
Its only when politicians get caught in a lie that you actually get to see them sweat! That said I suspect some of them don't have sweat glands or had them removed before they took the "job".....
I'd guess few of them would last more than a day if that standard was applied? Maybe its worth considering.....?
Hey its ok. The same shadow globalists who run Australia also run New Zealand. Once the CP-TPP is signed it will all make sense.
The reason the left has never got off the ground is too much in fighting and an inability to adapt ideas to a modern environment. Also sadly the presence of fake left parties which have further divided the left's cause.
Yes we are so good we are signing up to the worst neo liberal betrayal of a country and its people imaginable the CP-TPP......
100 multi national companies are responsible for a large part of the climate change we are experiencing. The same companies can stand to tell us what to do if we sign up the the CP-TPP.
Take racism and replace it with imperialism and you are probably closer to the bones of what made NZ what it is. Same for Australia, UK, France and others. Just look at whats going on in Syria and the attitude towards nations like China and Russia.
Agreed.I will add I tire of sites that keep on about what the Nats did rather than talking about what Labour and co's plan is to fix all this. From what I have seen so far there is little discernible difference between the Nats and this Labour led mob. The...
Yes we all know National sucked,that's why the majority of people voted them out. What do the new govt plan to do about it? On a different but related note I see the US is now talking about re-joining the CP-TPP. Will Labour finally see the light and back ...
The reality is Western capitalism is a failure. By contrast China Russia and India are actually in a good position. Unlike the US which has its dollar pegged to oil, I think since 71, all the other three have strong gold reserves and in Russia's case a ...
Agree Ad. I voted hoping for change and all we have so far is more of the same.....
It might be a mess but the big question is "are they going to clean it up?" TPP still in play, 90 day law in place, hospitals still under funded and mental health services....so far not looking good.
Yeah but while they support the neo lib agenda themselves with ghastly nonsense like the CP-TPP, 90 day law , praising or supporting sketchy foreign entities and individuals its really a case of one monkey throwing shit at another. Its amusing at times but...

These links also provide you with comprehensive breakdowns of shareholdings in our banks, in terms of who actually owns and controls them: http://www.wakeupkiwi.com/downloadpapers/wakeupkiwi_newzealandandworldbankingpaper.pdf http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/news...
Can anyone please point me toward any blogs/websites which are informative/on to it in terms of current events etc? Not interested in anything with a specific left or right wing bias, more after well informed impartial insights & opinions. Recently ...
Just rips my nightie watching my tax dollars get flushed down the toilet we used to think of as government, and then have to endure a parade of f*ckwits making excuses for it.
All I know is we are not going to rise to overcome our challenges as a nation by resorting to dirty politics, divisive politics, self interest, cronyism, corruption, abuse(s) of political power, or anything which stems from the lust and greed for money and...

The problem with the 'lesser of two evils' argument a lot of people are using in this debate (and others) is their reliance on the presumption that evil was and is necessary in the first place. Without wishing to oversimplify the issue(s) surrounding ...
Prince Andrew is only "innocent until he is proven guilty" because Key wants a knighthood. Pity he hasn't extended the same courtesy to certain citizens of New Zealand, who were destroyed by media trials of his making while being denied any access to a ...
Assumptions will only make an ass out of you. I am not a Labour supporter or voter. In fact, I voted for Key in 2008, but by 2011 I had seen enough evidence to know he is an out and out crook, and the only reason he keeps getting away with it is the ...
@Ad: Key is only as good as the average voter's last or next pay cheque. Personally I think the man is a liar and a criminal and I can"t wait to see him exposed. The object of your desire is the object of my contempt. History will prove who was right no ...
... the public is when the truth hurts them in their pockets...
The problem with their logic is that the vast majority of people click 'like' on things their friends post and share, not because they actually like those things, but because they want to be seen not to be ignoring what their friends post on Facebook. I ...
The greatest threat to our civil liberties are apathy and a lack of vigilance. This is driven by the failure of many people to take 100% personal responsibility for their lives, causing them to assume they have no power, leading them to confer power upon ...
@Fisiani And so John Key deletes his txt messages because he isn't paranoid and has nothing to hide? He employs teams of people to help him maintain a carefully constructed public image because he just feels like it? Your assumptions are laughable. I ...
