Listening to this link, I get the impression that the low and middle income earners he feigns to care deeply about will have their share of the tax-cuts wiped out by new "revenue sources" and it will be leave them worse off than they are now: https://www....
What is it called BG? I would like to read it.
I have zero sympathy for those who voted for NAct and NZ1. Your example BG is a case in point. The media are well aware of the CoC's lies and deceit, but they seem afraid to say so - with the surprising exception of Tova O'Brien. It will be interesting to ...
Hipkins is doing his SotN speech in about a week's time. I believe it is taking place in South Auckland. In the meantime he did this 30 min. stand-up for the media at Labour's recent retreat. No comparison to Luxon. Hipkins talks substance. Luxon favours ...
Oh dear, The police are not happy with Luxon. I wonder how many of them voted National in which case.... https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350214575/it-incites-rage-police-verdict-luxon-interview

Yes. ianmac @ 18, It is interesting this story should break within a day or two of Golriz Ghahranan's day in court. Coincidental I am sure. (sarc) It seems like the Green Party is the target of the times. There will be no-one left at this rate. I watched ...
The reply 'button' is not working for me. In reply to Res Publica (and others): There is a wee smell about this latest Greens scandal. There may be something in it, or it is the latest example of DP politics - courtesy of Atlas trained opponents. In the ...
Don't have a lot of sympathy for the police. Past experience and knowledge tells me most of them probably voted for NAct. You get what you asked for? https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/511498/government-priorities-clearly-wrong-police-association-says-...
I take a passing interest - my late Mum and Dad being English. To be fair to "Kate" she doesn't want her medical record plastered all over the front pages and on social media. But the royal pic? That's another story. She's taking the blame but its strange ...
Did you take part in the Avondale market gardening venture of the 70s TM? It was run by Mt. Albert and we grew strawberries and some fancy vegetable - its name escapes me now. We slogged our guts out every Sat, and wound up the day with a "wine tasting" ...
Efeso Collins would have risen to be a co-leader of the Greens. He is Samoan but I think that would have been more than acceptable given his close ties with the South Auckland Maori community.
Journalist relish their own identity, every two bit journalistic pretender thinks he or she is the next big thing in publishing. They are not there to get the views of people, they are there to push their own views which are almost invariably right wing. ...
.... the TVNZ sackings look vindictive and strategic to this long time politics follower. My thoughts too. The link(s) to the CoC may not be direct but are too compelling to be set aside. It is my view that the legislative repeals are based more on spite ...
"Just not enough to move people from their vote position in 2023." Too soon. People are not ready to admit, even to themselves, they got it wrong.
But he didn't do it. It was his ministers what did it. He just made a lot of noise about doing it. I don't think he could do it if he tried.
Who’s the pitch to? First and foremost the members. After that anyone prepared to watch and listen. As a member, I had issues with the last government. The main one... they didn't move fast enough in the delivery of some of their promises. But they were ...

Thank you to the moderator for apparently letting me out of moderation. I have learnt a lesson. Don't rush off an epistle when you don't have time to do it properly.
Thanks for your support on yesterday's Daily Review Robert. I can't reply on that thread. Yes, I did not get the wording of the quote strictly correct - didn't have time due to an appointment. I have to agree with you. There is a lot of "stroppery" on this...
I replied pointing out I might have been in error about who the woman was speaking to. Is that not good enough for you? Here is the quote: The Judge granted the discharge without conviction and permanent name suppression but ordered him to pay $1000 ...

Robert Guyton @ 8:44am At risk of a pounding from your detractors on this matter, I skimmed through this thread last night and had no trouble understanding what you were trying to say. There was imo fault on both sides. Of course the elderly lady was not ...
weka is assuming nothing. The right are indeed working covertly to subvert democracy for their own gain and purposes. That has become obvious in recent times and if you can't see that, then I don't know where you have been these past few years. weka has ...

A quote from a comment of mine on yesterday's Daily Review: I'm starting to get a handle on Luxon's real character. In a nutshell, he's a dangerous evangelical in all aspects of life, not just his religious beliefs. In a way I think that is what happened ...

I'm going to have to read it at least twice more before the full impact sinks in. I'm starting to get a handle on Luxon's real character. In a nutshell, he's a dangerous evangelical in all aspects of life, not just his religious beliefs. In a way I think ...
As I came away [from a press conference] I thought ‘Wow, people are pretty fixated on the allowance’. I thought ‘what’s going on’ Luxon said he then listened to Newstalk ZB and heard the discussion on talkback. He then changed his mind about the allowance...
