A very late reply to Chris T around National and mental health spending. National came to power in 2008 and finally got around to funding mental health to a tune of what was it, something like 22million. This is as opposed to labour who got going with new ...
Let’s see what swordfish has to say about the state of The parties right now. That’s if he kindly has time. all of the rest is rather meaningless spin, particularly by the likes of Hooten and Hoskings. Btw re kiwibuilt I note it’s been a roaring success in...
My understanding is that fletchers will build 40 houses for local Maori on a rent to buy scheme. But correct me if I am wrong about this.
It seems like the protesters are trying to pressure the PM into the outcome they want. It isn’t what all Maori want. Some local Maori were happy to enter in to the deal with fletchers. Isn’t their view equally valid? I know if I was local and I thought ...
Good to hear your view Pr as you work with these guys. my tuppence worth, genetic component activated by environment ie child abuse. That was from the Dunedin study. High rates of head injuries in the prison population. Mental illness and substance abuse. ...
What I found so gob smacking was that Simon initially seemed to be saying was that Jacinda should be in the country with the occupation going on (and implied she’d caused it) then went on to say he would do nothing about it and as leader of opposition he ...
a little sensitive for me at the moment. Someone very close to me is likely very sick and may benefit from such drugs. But no one could argue with prevention. Worth a pound of cure
Let’s do both. Go for trying to reduce incidence, early intervention etc + drugs.......I know of someone who got new treatment in the UK for an advanced form of deadly cancer and is now clear of cancer. It’s horrific to think that had she been in NZ she ...
Gordon Campbell is bang on about the cricket. No need for the super over as we bowled them out. It should have ended there.
Wonderful result for the black caps. Skill, strategy and guts. Well done to the guys
Ok. One of the first things twyford did was ask the PMs science advisor to report about method testing. As a result of this that bogus industry was stopped. I think he did well, but media went for him. Hacienda handled the reshuffle very well. Very savvt
Nerve wracking watching the black caps playing Pakistan. Go the caps!
Been wondering about your thoughts about Luxton puckish
Ad I couldn’t disagree more. Ardern manages her team well, she manages her coalition partners well and she fields the media perfectly...... she showed outstanding leadership after the Chch massacre. She managed to get cross party agreement over changing ...
I really feel for all the Anz staff turning up everyday keeping the bank going, on modest wages. I hope this this whole thing starts to unravel and key with it. the sense of entitlement from hisco is gob smacking. It’s also obviously dishonest rather than ...
Omg what a slippery slimy bastard Key is. So glad he is not our PM. Owen sounded disgusted at the end of the interview. so this bastard still gets the rest of his years pay and doesn’t have to pay the incorrectly itemised “business” expenses back. What f.....
Yes sir john don’t look well. Oh dear, what a shame. Oh well never mind
Hey was polled by Curia last night about preferred parties, leaders etc. some interesting things about it. They contacted us by l line. They didn’t ask for much in the way of demographic info. Initially spoke to husband who hates surveys and handed over to...
Just been phoned by Curia and did a political poll. They asked about leaders and for National only asked about Simon and Paula. Not Judith..........
Good call Al1en. #lets keep Simon
With all due respect, I am someone who has worked in mental health for over 30 years, trained and qualified and worked with 1000’s yes it would probably be 1000’s of people with mental health problems, including some with very intense suicidal feelings ...

Ok so someone from national deliberately went to treasury’s website and accessed parts of the budget due to a weakness, that was an IT error. Then Bridges released some of that confidential material (which from what I can gather from past budget leaks, ...
Whatever you like Sam
Saw new leader of the oz Labour Party on Tele tonight Anthony albanese. Very Aussie bloke but seemed very genuine, authentic........fingers crossed. and on a different note what fools those who buy into Barry’s article about the guy stood down at ...

Absolutely marvellous just seen Hannah Tāmaki of the coalition party. More or less said about the new party “it’s exciting. Imagine if colonel sanders had never tried we would never have had that delicious chicken. comedy gold!
My thoughts are that there is someone very clever in nz labour (suspect it is grant and Jacinda combo, with maybe some imput from Parker) who are working out what Nationals attack lines will be at the next election, and pulling the rug out, so National has...
Depressing. only positive is Abbott is losing to climate change activist
So pissed off with the herald re naming the white supremicist murderer. Strengthens my resolve not to give them money. Actually the only thing that has really tempted me has been Steve braunias secret diary, which I love. I have started reading a few ...
