I didn't think Bob Dylan (or my brother I think) was that old. Weren't the anti-Iraq war crowds more than 600K? You know, the ones that Bliar ignored.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 9:17 am, April 21st, 2025
Madness. Imagine if Luxon did the same thing.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 9:16 am, April 21st, 2025
I don't come to The Standard to read comments that are logical, balanced, even-handed and wreak of fairness.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 9:44 am, April 20th, 2025
I always hope the Labour and Green parties scan TS daily to check out the often very smart comments and ideas to be found here.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 12:16 pm, April 19th, 2025
I heard the very intelligent lawyer for the guy who has been deported to the prison in El Salvador on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning. She took Trump's actions apart. The fact that the Left have such talented advocates on their side in the USA ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 12:10 pm, April 19th, 2025
Weird....haven't they got better things to do like fixing the health service rather than taking the country backwards?Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 8:45 pm, April 18th, 2025
The Graun is reporting a Trump state visit for the UK in September. That should put half a million on the streets at least.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 8:26 pm, April 18th, 2025
That is really interesting to hear somebody suffering at the coal face Graeme. I hadn't thought about this. There must be hundreds of thousands of small businesses around the world in a similar bind. The kind of people one would have thought the ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 9:15 am, April 18th, 2025
Nothing like the same scale from media reports, but Luxon has a tendency to exaggerate so who knows.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 8:16 pm, April 17th, 2025
Never mind Shane will sort it out by restarting drilling for gas in NZ. He really doesn't deserve to share this planet.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 8:12 pm, April 17th, 2025
I dumped KiwiSaver at 65 when there were no freebies going in from the government.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 8:08 pm, April 17th, 2025
Yes Willis and Luxon never mentioned the East Cape and Auckland cyclones nor (especially) Covid when addressing economic issues at the last election. These hit the economy by many many billions. But they were Labour's fault (sarc) Robertson did a fine job. ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:39 am, April 17th, 2025
Luxon will be sticking pins in a Trump doll today. Infometrics' forecast published today says that, due to the Trump trade policies, the recovery is "on ice" and that growth in GDP for next year will be only 1% not 2.4% as previously forecast. Luxon's ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:28 am, April 17th, 2025
You will be on his list now Res.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:21 am, April 17th, 2025
They spend $13m on tourists who will come here anyway and expect gratitude, while slashing billions from 3 waters and billions from social housing but giving billions in tax cuts to rich landlords.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 5:39 pm, April 15th, 2025
Harman is way to the Right of course. Be careful of his motives.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 5:37 pm, April 15th, 2025
I don't think competency is lacking ....the Greens have good policies and competent leaders....Genter has been excellent for many years too. Are you saying ACT and NZF are more competent than the Greens?Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 5:33 pm, April 15th, 2025
Yes but kerekere is going back years .....if you are going to bring that up and go back that far then the Nats and Labour have had numerous problems with their MP's in that period.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 3:03 pm, April 15th, 2025
One would hope the Greens are reading your comments and doing something about it.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 3:01 pm, April 15th, 2025
See my comment above gsays.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 3:00 pm, April 15th, 2025
I agree Tana was a disaster...but she was the only disaster. The Greens handled it as well as they could in the circumstances but they were never going to come out of it well. All parties have their bad eggs from time to time.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 2:56 pm, April 15th, 2025
If only......Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 1:26 pm, April 15th, 2025
Like any good lawyer he is improvising on the spot.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 1:24 pm, April 15th, 2025
Do you know what two thirds of the Nats MP's are doing?Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 1:22 pm, April 15th, 2025
Yes agree Weka...Winston may have the Greens' travails on his mind as one reason for pulling the plug on the coalition. But I say again the MSM has either exaggerated or manufactured all of those travails. I'm surprised that so many on TS don't recognise ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:44 am, April 15th, 2025
Agree with all of that....but as you say National getting back into government requires Luxon to have at least some political skills. He hasn't revealed any to date. And Hipkins will steal some Nats votes as he moves Labour to the Right.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:39 am, April 15th, 2025
Chloe, Marama, Genter and as you say Abel. That's all you need. I'm not familiar enough with the rest to judge but doubtless there is plenty of talent there. The Greens will get 12-14 percent as Hipkins takes Labour further to the Right.Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:05 am, April 15th, 2025
In terms of the likelihood of an imminent election per the post, another indication is a post I have just seen near the Beehive in Wellington. It has an unflattering picture of Luxon with his fingers in his ears and the caption: "Shame on you for voting ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 10:00 am, April 15th, 2025
The Greens are polling 11% plus according to the current Wiki poll of polls despite the recent odious and inaccurate attacks by the MSM, especially the Herald. Chloe and Marama are doing good jobs as leaders. They neither need to win a seat nor do they ...Written By: Bearded Git - Date published: 8:57 pm, April 12th, 2025
