Save us from what, exactly? Before touting the remedies what is the fell disease?
'Labour' and 'loyalty' in the same sentence?! You're having a laugh...
Could all the virtue signallers with their latex one-use gloves please dispose of them properly instead of flopping them on the ground in the supermarket carparks? Ya reckon? Because those 'heroes of the frontline', the underpaid and overworked, have to ...
Why is everyone focused on PAYE? We all pay too much tax in other areas. If Mr Bridges is talking about returning us to parity with Australia's GST rate (10%) - a good start. And the excise taxes on fuel. That'd be handy. It isn't as if the money is being ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZzEKtIyoIc It's the chorus. Someone got it right.
I think I'd replace the trenching tool with a suitable golf club...
Apparently Suleimani was better on Twitter than Trump. Stinging comments. Ouch. What else was God's Chosen to do with such an impious upstart? Everything else is simply excuses and justification...
The property value people have just wafted by and sent a letter saying we're now the holders of a grossly over-priced property and the council will be thinking about the rates take... Is anyone going to en masse, collectively, all together call out this ...
Wouldn't it be great if the Reserve Bank stopped punishing the savers and recommended to our dozy government that it's time to drop GST back to 10% - to match Australia's - AND 'leave more money in the pockets of 'the most vulnerable' '? Or is poverty ...
Tax the family home. When? Older citizen sells up. Wants to downsize. Has pension plus enough from the sale to buy a smaller home and put some aside in case of needing to pay extortionate sums to some over-priced housing for older citizens. Whack on the ...
Elegant reply, Stuart. Thank you.
Prison is a waste of time and money. The 'easy option' and there's STILL no certainty that the person who has been ripped off will get paid. Getting paid seems to be the more important point - along with protection from harrassment over any debts incurred ...
How come ladies get given as prizes? What does a female accused get? What's the story with bigamy in this 'kingdom'? Are men immune from jealousy? And what happens to the person-eating tiger...?
What's with the ad hominem and generation bashing?
"Because the aussies have a government of fuckwits." Not for much longer... Unless Budgie Smuggler Abbott returns.
Oh, Gosman... Not you, too? 'Deciding to to live in another country...' Some little kid of three or four gets taken to Aus by its parents. Grows up in Aus. Thinks of itself as an Aussie. Sees no reason to 'become a citizen' because, well, aren't they ...
To all those who bravely listened/watched - thanks. I couldn't have faced it myself. Now. How well are his loyal people carrying the word out to the faithful? Who is hearing it first? Who is being flattered? Who is listening for feedback? (Not the razzz. ...
"The Greens have to work under are not going to be known or knowable to the general public, due to their complex and subtle natures." If the Greens are that patronising (and it would appear that the present crop is so inclined) then one of their damn' soon...
Do we really want to be republicans after the Queen passes on? Really, really want to adopt a 'system' born of revolution and literate elites with stars in their eyes about the Romans? Who had slaves and a massive army and was quite exclusive about who ...
I just noticed Roger Douglas is stirring again. Has that man learned so little? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12130945 'Ooh, people! You could have a million dollars when you retire after a 'lifetime' of uncertain ...
It must be something in the general national psyche - 'winners and losers' 'Strong leadership so we don't have to either think or question' For me, this is NOT a 'Labour govenment' - nor is it an Ardern government. It's our first true MMP government and, ...
Those of a religious persuasion should be on their knees chanting, 'Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It wasn't Dead Eyes Dutton!' Perhaps now we can push for freedom for the Manus Island and Nauru prisoners? PS That bloke from Texas sounded like a really ...
If Dutton slithers into top position what happens to those kids on Nauru? And Manus? Before Turnbull starts to roll - would he let them go? And what diplomatic things is Winston up to for Kiwis who are long-stay in Aus? Workers and tax payers. Them. A ...
Be much easier to change the farming methods, catch the rain in the soils, use swales, and be quit of water demanding livestock farming (dairying). If the reservoir is needed for water security then those wishing to live in the area also have to do their ...
Which countries will we be robbing to get the extra staff? Will there be enough of them to dilute the bullying culture that has been reported? Is anyone going to keep up the momentum for nurses to take on more technical work and free up 'our wonderful ...
"Your car cost $ 000’s per year to run $9 is nothing, suck it up" Well, no, to the 'suck it up' comment. Neither of us has any notion of SaveNZ's circumstances. Or the reason for the hospital visit. Or how many visits will be required, either. Nor do we ...
Been around for centuries: https://www.thenews.coop/103287/sector/retail/scotland-learning-finnish-co-operative-movement/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_cooperative_movement We could do with more credit unions, too.
Baba Yaga: "Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior." Maybe the first part. Where's the evidence of the latter part of the definition? Or is 'racism' ...
Somewhere under the detritus is the ever-incompetent Ministry of Primary Industries. Standards for logging, tracks, watershed protection were worked out in the 1980s and before. They're clearly being neglected. Perhaps heads will roll. Or not. The SSC just...
On the delicate subject of toilet paper: if you buy the budget rolls (2 ply) it is likely you will get through the roll much faster than if you bought a posher product simply because (ewww alert) you have to use more to avoid a bathroom embarrassment. The ...
Tricledrown: "and were to be cared for in the community ." Which was a truly lovely, enlightened, humane, compassionate thing to do - except - who was supposed to do the 'caring'? Older women, as usual? And where were the fabulous wraparound support and ...
