Exactly! These are all anecdotes. That was why I questioned Anne’s claim. It’s the old ‘depends who you talk to’, including Anne’s ‘couple of pilots’.
Your comment didn't require any mind reading, Anne.
Another smart- alec Johnny-come-lately commenter who thinks he/she (more likely he) can 'read other people's minds' and lacks a sense of humour?
"Says who?" Says a couple of pilots I happened to know who were also speaking on behalf of their colleagues. That's who. Can't speak for the backroom. One of the sticking points seemed to be that he took full credit for the job his predecessor actually ...
Don''t be fooled folks. This is all about Luxon. Luxon's incompetency to be more accurate. He's a CEO not a PM. He hires and fires at will. When someone shows him up by doing or saying something stupid then out the door they go. That is why he was so ...
It wasn’t her ‘mind’ Anne was attacking. It was her looks.
... off his hunger pangs. Thanks Anne, reading that article in The...
If ever there was a hidden message in a news item this one from the Guardian has to take the cake: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/19/new-zealand-smoking-ban-what-uk-can-learn Look at the two photos of the former NZ associate health minister and...
I remember the photo of Holyoake standing all alone, head bowed, alongside the Hercules aircraft as they loaded Kirks coffin to return him to his home town Waimate for burial. That was a very sad day. We may never have endured nine years of Muldoon had ...
Are you kidding Anne..?... H.clark took us into Afghanistan.. Wasn't that a good idea..?
@ Anne . Re labour being ignored....I ...
“The alternative path is that New Zealand keeps its head while all around are losing theirs – and that we combine with our South Pacific neighbours to advocate for a region which is at peace,” Clark says echoing sentiments that go right back to the dawn ...
I think Labour is responding TM but they are being left out of the loop. I've noted that TV1 does not always report Labour's responses yet when looking online the next day I will discover that Chris Hipkins or some shadow minister did respond but we never ...
If you want to know about 'wasteful spending' you should have been around ACT in the 1990s. I saw it first hand. How that came about is another story but I did become a witness to some of it. Waste included a never ending supply of money from mystery ...
A hyperventilating turkey! Perfect description of him. Might I borrow the phrase and maybe others as well? If someone could persuade one of our excellent cartoonists to draw him being a hyperventilating turkey on an auspicious occasion even better.
Wot Anne said ..
Ignore the actual point of my comment if you wish. Not my problem. It's yours.
Yeah... 38% voted National 62% didn't. But that's not the point! They are, in actual fact, doing the opposite to what they said they would do. They claimed they were going to solve the health crisis, the education crisis, the economic crisis... military ...
oops... as each agency falls apart,...
" Are NactF the real enemy within?" I believe so. You only have to look at what the individual public service entities are doing across the board. Its a slash and smash exercise doomed to bring about ultimate failure. You can't cut the heart out of a body ...
Its all in the questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLm2X6sFa48&list=RD1EvBS_sbPbc&start_radio=1&rv=1EvBS_sbPbc First 3 mins.
Precisely my response Anne, ideological.
Isn't the exponential increase in Public Service numbers in part at least caused by the exponential increase in immigration numbers over the past decade? In other words, it has been gathering momentum under both National and Labour governments, eventually ...
Anne Salmond: NZ is a democracy, ...
weka @ 1.1 Ideological. Small Government Syndrome. Getting the country ready for privatisation. Greedy, shallow, small minded, stupid, uncaring. No grasp of the consequences, or if they do they don't care.
Yes. A feeble excuse used by certain politicos and tabloid news outlets.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350249067/man-misidentified-bondi-junction-killer-hires-lawyers-sue-seven Good to hear! There's too much of this kind of crap going down and innocent people having their lives and reputations screwed up.
Regularly, Anne, but only so I can see what's going on above the fray :-)
Stuck your head to far above the parapet? :)
It goes back decades Kay and wasn't confined to beneficiaries and low paid/casual workers. Individuals were also preyed upon. Especially if you were a member of the Labour Party and dared to express anti-nuclear sentiments and didn't join the 'Down with ...
Anne have you been looking at Big Hairy News from Dunedin? Not boring.
