No. I mean workplace mandates that are no longer necessary could be removed. There may not even be any for all I know. Which is why it's a non-story. Hospitals require a full suite of vaccinations starting right from the time that Drs & nurses start at ...
DoS this is a heartfelt & learned piece of writing. I like how it draws together many different arguments and puts a new slant on them.....for instance the grandparents looking after grandchildren situation may just putting children back into family units ...
This is a really good example of why the issue isn't about genital inspections or transphobia. Even allowing for Bomber's fairly extreme and nonsensical rant style, it neatly points to the fact that men can just decide to ride roughshod over women's ...
Yes Weka this is what my sister in inland Otago does in summer. East windows & doors open, west closed and curtained
The one on the right seems to have a penis on the end of the pointing arm, perhaps mocking the idea that a man can protect a woman's space literally/figuratively while having a penis. Or that anyone with a penis can protect a space designed for women or ...
Agree with this. My house has stood the test of time and is as warm and comfy as I want it to be. (I generally function on a lower temperature than many homes are heated to and having opening windows/access to fresh air are key to me. I suffered terribly (...
I don't either Weka. Quite apart from the privacy aspect every little bit of protection against the cold helps. I suspect that they are related to the ones though who never pull their curtains back to get solar warming during the day or ventilate their ...
Test
Sorry I meant in relation to brick or stone. We have to work with what we have got, stone & brick are so expensive, and so as compared with solid as stone or brick we do have a limitation to start with. And sure we are good at upping the rating with ...
You know the more I read your comments, esp about those living in houses with no ability to have a car pad, and those of cycling fraternity and the 'to hell with all others message' the more I am reminded that we on the left have been decrying the concept,...
how far below best practice are we building? I actually don't think we are. Most houses have good insulation: top, bottom,sides. double glazing, many have air/heat transfer kits, heat pumps. They don't have forced air mechanical ventilation or automatic ...
Further to get out of the way of what policy analysts call TINA thinking ie there is no alternative, which is a regrettable/sterile state of mind to be in you can do exercises to warm up your brain to open it up to different thinking. These are like the ...
We cannot have it both ways. Of course we can have a road that caters for both. It requires good will, a spirit of compromise and a willingess to be aware of the different parts of a human community that and what they bring. Your assumption that these ...
As well as new building we also need to learn how to retrofit our existing housing stock and establish best practice for doing this. Not everyone wants to live in a new house. Plenty still live and are happy in, an older house. With the long time practice ...
There is the Abbeyfield concept that I think is great https://www.eldernet.co.nz/Facilities/Retirement_Villages_Rental/Abbeyfield_Dunedin/Service/DisplayService/FaStID/12148 https://www.abbeyfield.co.nz/house/abbeyfield-dunedin/ https://www.abbeyfield.co....
the many buses using the road have trouble passing each other when going in opposite directions. With kerbside parking available I'm not surprised. This is a particularly odd comment. The kerbside parking will be replaced by fenced off cycleways so there ...
So no thanks for the work that both Veutoviper and I did to explain the situation in lower Rintoul Street - just continued sniping from the sidelines from a no-local! Here is what you do 1 Hit the reply button under your name - RHS bottom of post 2 Write ...
Being approached by people while out and about is a known fact of life for all MPs. Many take pains to keep some private time that does not involve being out and about publically. MPs who frequent popular local areas so-called 'privately' where MPs usually...
So why the focus on 'Genter has said she will no longer engage with angry people, but will just walk away. ' She will get angry people in her electorate offices, how does the de-escalation differ here from out and about. Seems a bit of a strange ...
If Swarbrick can't effectively work as an electorate MP for those whose politics she disagrees with (which is what you seem to be implying), then she has no business to stand as an electorate MP. If the GP want only to be activists – then they need to be ...
She's going to have a quiet life then in this electorate at the moment. 'Genter has said she will no longer engage with angry people, but will just walk away. ' Very clear she is inexperienced at what happens in electorate offices People in the electorate ...
Yes Kay. My feelings exactly. Yet it is so solvable with goodwill and paying attention to the basics of consultation. It does not need to be this way and to cause this distrust. Of course with us in our communities and feeling that we are the only ones ...
One very popular well attended church close to the Top End dairy in Berhampore, no parking though the Vicar's house next door has a daylighted concrete pad. Why not have the cycle way only in front of the houses that do have off street parking? From my ...
Thank you Weka. I will do. I just did not want to inspire yet another go at me.
Those who have been following the cycle ways spinoff to the JAG story will be interested that this lack of meaningful consultation/allegations of predetermination is not shared only by the people of the southern suburbs. https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/...
Yes
I sent some messages to the contact addresses.
You'd be so wrong if you think that this is the type of florist that has the tied up bouquets that you get from the supermarkets. This florist is more the old time/type one where they might do flowers for weddings, graduations, whole venues. They are an ...
If The Greens have only just become aware of this then they need to act on it now. It doesn't matter really when the issues happened. It is not as if the incidents are being ignored by the Greens. They do seem to fit a pattern with the Cranfields person as...
Yes the buses travel the old tram routes and so were/are heavily gradient sensitive. When I first decided to walk to work I just followed the bus route. Then I got on Google and did some map work and found there were much quicker ways that did not involve ...
Agree with this summation Weka, I also listend and she was careful but doesn't stop the 'shock, horror' people exclaiming. Also agree with the summary of what ACT etc are up to.
