The kids don't count. Especially the poor kids. Lets introduce a voucher system that will provide a minimum of education only and the parents can pay for the rest. The poor kids won't learn much but we only want them for menial jobs. If they grow up bad ...
Yes. They are intelligent creatures. The word has gone around. Now they are having their revenge for whatever was done to them. My bet is too many of their number have been killed or maimed by passing boats.
Stunning photos of the Aurora including one from Blockhouse Bay Auckland. Can't see it from my place on the Shore. :( https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/stunning-aurora-lights-continue-for-nz-tonight-clear-skies-make-for-better-viewing-conditions/...
"Perhaps they could save power by dowsing the street lights to let us see the aurora!" They would if they could but wouldn't dare. Some grinch would take them to court. Damn pity.
T took the bait.
Yes. Fortuitous isn't it. Attack a Green MP despite the fact she apologised for her action three times, then dredge up an argument she had with someone with an axe to grind over cycleways, then rush out the door and conduct a poll. That's how they roll...
Bang on AB. Their ignorance was astounding. Despite the government "restructuring the work force" (that was the description of the day), they assumed the unemployed were rough living layabouts who wanted to live off the welfare teat for the rest of their ...
So, they're trying the old 1990s trick again: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/516371/government-to-introduce-compulsory-work-seminar-for-job-seeking-beneficiaries Sounds reasonable but it didn't work out in practice last time and I suspect it won't ...
The Spin Off have kindly drafted a list of foods that are either "woke" or "non woke" but for those who can't be bothered to read them, they have also equally as kindly served up a simple formula based on the reported reckons of one, David Breen Seymore. ...
What is this country coming to: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/516147/watch-elderly-woman-knocked-to-the-ground-in-unprovoked-attack Some entitled bastard in a bad mood so he picks on an 88yr old who is a bit unsteady on her feet. Appalling.
It seems to be ok now. Must have been a temporary glitch or overload.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/516108/prime-minister-christopher-luxon-announces-1-point-9-billion-plan-to-make-nz-safer Interesting weka: The link stops at around 3 mins in for me. Whether that means it has been deliberately halted I can't say. If ...
Always thought Mark Mitchell was a thickhead. All bluster and no brain: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/516128/contradictions-and-confusion-more-questions-than-answers-at-government-press-conference
ooh-eee... you're so clever. :roll:
The 2020s are starting to feel like a repeat performance of the 197Os... spilling into the 80s. The main issues then were the Vietnam War and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. But the response from the respective authorities is the same - turn on the ...
Oh well said Kay. Short, sweet and brilliant.
Well said Shanreagh @ 10.1.1. I made a conscious choice not to watch any parliament for exactly the reasons you have given - bad atmosphere, rudeness, inflammatory and provocative behaviour, lies, deception and bullying tactics... and I am not talking ...
"The corporate media should grow up and call out Matt for the lying sack of shit he is." They will never do it because that would spoil their chances of becoming ministerial press secretaries.
... about the Greens not Julie Anne Genter. It could have been...
There you go Cricklewood. Lost your cool with Bearded Git - just like JAG lost her cool with Doocey's disinformation. We all do it from time to time. Its called human nature! Edit: I see BG has responded. :)
mickysavage @2.1.1 Lets see... so this florist got in touch with JAG and JAG went to see her in order to discuss her problem. Instead she got ram-roaded (metaphorically speaking) and felt she might be a unsafe so she films the encounter? Plausible to me.
She always does. I would like to say more but my cat is jealous and insists on sitting on the keyboard. :(
... hypocritical finger pointing at Julie Anne Genter over her unfortunate outburst...
Generations of Kiwi kids have had a lunch consisting of a couple of sandwiches and an apple (with a biscuit or piece of home baking, if you were lucky). None of us died for the want of a hot lunch in winter; or had our schooling affected. No. Because the ...
Mike the Lefty @ 1.3 What about the occasion John Key made a cut throat gesture to Phil Goff. Goff had done nothing, Just sitting quietly in his seat. A prime minister n'all too! Disgusting behaviour. I'd have a few pages waved in my face any day. Edit: ...
That sounds like a pretty good resumé of a normal question time. Body language tells more than what they are saying. :wink:
It would normally be seen as a stupid question, but in light of the perception that Luxon isn't managing the coalition well I can see why they asked it. Problem is, I suspect many of those asked may not have fully understood the question. Therefore I think...
From the comments section: Bruce Rogan says: 29/04/2024 at 12:56 pm I have never been given to seeking divine intervention, but I can see no alternative to getting Jesus to save us from this complete boof. Hear, hear to that. :eek:
Despite the breathless rendition which initially had me wondering if WW3 had started, I couldn't help but notice Maiki Sherman's reference to... "Luxon having inherited massive challenges from the last government etc." We know that line was codswallop so ...
Both.
