I might make the assumption here that you are male. If a woman chooses to go private - trust me she has well and truly made up her mind and doesn't wish to subject herself to the weeks that it takes to have an abortion through the public system.
No, they don't break the law. They simply speed the process up by getting another doctor in the practice to sign off and they advise you to have counselling. You are booked in immediately to a private hospital and that is what the fee is. The request must ...
I agree our laws are very outdated and this effects those who need to go through the public health system. Abortion on request is available if you go privately but costs around $2000.
1 million adults decide not to vote. I find that extraordinary but doubt that they are all left voters. One should also consider that they are adults and that is a choice they made and this time maybe there was far too much noise and they just decided to ...
While you are all at it - remember last year the green party poster using GOT with John Snow - Winter Is Coming. They I understand were forced to stop using those posters by HBO. Winter Is Coming is a great slogan but there isn't a single person in the ...
No they didn't. I worked for the record company concerned and was personally involved in the legal action we took which resulted in all the DVD's being destroyed.
Tracey, I worked for Warners and can assure you that is no the email format that is used across all Warners companies. There are strict rules around font, dates etc. David Farrar sums it up best: Large US companies are required under US law (for legal ...
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11319006 This is for all of you who have over the last months (Tracey from yesterday especially) who told me I am totally incorrect about family exemption - inheritance. This effects all ...

The family home is only exempt while the family home owner is alive. When the family home is inherited and possibly sold and proceeds shared amongst the beneficiaries then CGT is payable. Most family homes work this way - our parents die and the children ...
Personally I don't have a problem with the comment sugar daddy - it is true. She is accepting money before being in parliament which is not the Laila Harre most of us know. I don't remember there being such an outcry when Helen Clark said in Parliament ...
If David wants to be the future PM then he needs to be able to handle interviewers who are biased. Key wiped the floor with Campbell (many here may disagree) over the GCSB issue and Campbell went 24 hours without taking phone calls. Cunliffe needs to front...
Most regionals. I have been through Tauranga and Blenheim neither of which had security. Really I agree with Plunkett - there is no point in blowing up a plane here as nobody in the world would care - meaning there is not enough collateral damage compared ...
There are many domestic airports in NZ that do not have security to go through.
Then we should have no problems complying with extraditing Kim Dotcom who is already a convicted criminal.
Trusts are not exempt from the CGT. The family home which is exempt becomes NO longer exempt once the owner dies. It is subject to CGT upon sale. I suspect a great number of inherited houses are sold once the owner passes on as this will effect a great ...
The house I live in WILL be subject to CGT when I pass on and leave it to my children and they quite sensibly sell it to pay down their own mortgages. Now you run along and have a sail down the river denial.
I really don't care if you think I'm lying when the document is clear. What is not good is the spouting around CGT and the family home and lying by omission that it will not be subject to CGT - kind of like the baby policy. You have a fabulous day.
While I commend your use of the word mendacious I suggest you look at the following: https://www.labour.org.nz/sites/default/files/CGTWebdoct%20July%202011.pdf It clearly states on inheritance when an asset is realised (i.e. sold) then CGT is applicable. ...
CGT will apply to investment properties - but the real problem is the family home. If you inherit a home (say from your parents who pass) and then you and siblings sell that home it is subject to CGT. To me saying that it does not apply to the family home ...
I have just read on Kiwiblog that Richard Prebble is returning to ACT to run their election campaign. On reading this my personal opinion is that the election is now sown up barring any major scandals.
Instead of slinging at the right perhaps it would be better to address the elephant in the room. Support for Labour under Cunliffe has dropped nearly 20% - from 37% after Cunliffe became leader to 30%. Surely this is something that is far worthier of ...
Today’s New Zealand Roy Morgan Poll shows National (48%, up 1%) increasing its lead over a potential Labour/ Greens alliance (42%, down 2%). Support for Key’s Coalition partners shows the Maori Party 0.5% (down 1%), ACT NZ (1%, up 1%) and United Future 0.5...
"Why should anyone pay your opinion the slightest attention?" Because I'm always right :-)
I don't pay much mind to John Key - I don't need to. But transcript or not Cunliffe has said he bought in Herne Bay so his wife can breast feed - Cool that should be the end of it. He needs to pick a fight he can win - supporters can't relate to someone ...
Seriously, he brought this crap on himself. He should have said nothing. If his wife has stopped breast-feeding perhaps they can find somewhere to live in his electorate given that was the reason he bought in Herne Bay.
I imagine the folks at the GCSB are rolling on the floor in stitches that our politicians think they are interesting enough to be spied on. I remember hearing Keith Locke on the radio who was very disappointed to find out he hadn't been under surveillance....
We do expect better from our leaders -that is why they are leaders. The thing worth considering here is the history of behaviour. It goes back a long way - affairs and expenses. We can't have a Mayor who is unable to carry out his public duties because he ...
SUV's drive me nuts. I suggest that all shopping centres have a special area for SUV's to park - yes make them walk further - then the rest of us can enter and exit a carpark without fear of getting hit because we can't see!
Actually Sun Tzu. The Art Of War is a great read. If Labour want to win the next election they should perhaps all be reading it.
I watched Cunliffe on the News making the announcement about Jenny. What stood out to me was while he was saying he was being decisive I felt it was a very clever move as it keeps the MSM focused on Robertson's sexuality through the Michie story.
