Agree. They need to do that in a positive way. They can't just bemoan the mess NACT left them. You will get the classic "well you have had 6 years stop blaming the last government." They need to highlight the mess National left in certain areas and give ...
I would really like to see someone in the press hold their feet to the fire on this. They get enough time on T.V to say how bad everything Labour is doing is. Invite them on to complain about Labour then simply ask them what they are going to do instead. ...
You don't understand. Poor little South Osettia would not be able to look after itself if it wasn't part of the Russian federation. It is really in their best interest to be ruled by Russia. They are reliant on the benevolent rule of Mr Putin. Hold on, ...
There is no requirement on Bellingcat to do Russia research on Ukrainian war crimes. Of course they will focus on those committed by Russia. That doesn't make them any less valid. If a union finds cases of bad employers but doesn't go through and ...
Even if everything you said is true: 1, Why is it bellingcats responsibility to investigate all war crimes? They have identified these ones. Perhaps they will identify the others. 2. War crimes by one side don't justify them by the other. You can just ...
This would be very good. A number of default providers were stripped of their status recently due to excessive fees. One very good thing that has come out of this is that people might be more aware of how much Kiwisaver providers are charging them. I would...
No one claimed the sky is falling. They claimed that a new tax policy was bad, and within 24 hours the government agreed with them and withdrew it. You have accused people using hyperbole without providing any evidence of that, and then went on to use an ...
Sorry I didn't get issued with a crystal ball to provide you with "cold hard facts". I mean, I don't have any reason to not believe Tax specialist Allan Bullot's assessment, but I am sure you can provide some cold hard facts as to why he was wrong. ...
You're the one talking about the Floods and the struggle of the people in Pakistan yet call me hyperbolic. Perhaps a bit of self reflection mate.
Which he could have made without comparing it to the floods in Pakistan. A completely unrelated topic that he specifically used to minimise the impact of this. It is a classic tactic to talk about the smallest number possible when arguing in favour of ...
How in all that is sane can you use the tragedy in Pakistan to defend the government hitting peoples Kiwi savers. That is some really despicable shit. Whats next? Nats shouldn't mention Sharma because there are child slaves in the Congo. How about the ...
GST is regressive. Just like supermarkets and gas stations it is not the Kiwi saver managers who will pay this. It will come directly off contributions made just like current fees. The cost compounds as the lost investment can't earn and people will see ...
There are people in this very thread acting like National somehow had Sharma in its back pocket with these accusations ready to go, just in case. It amazes me how people think this is all completely planned as opposed to managed chaos.
Again this sounds like a fob off. A meeting like this needs to be handled correctly. He needs to be aware that it will be a meeting involving this sort of feedback and offered the opportunity to have a support person. He needs to know who will be involved....
Plenty of people "have known" domestic abusers and been shocked when they found out what happens at home. Just because this isn't your experience of him doesn't mean it isn't true.
I manage people and am managed. I do work overseas with my team. I would never consider treating a team member even remotely like described here. If you have constructive opportunities for improvement to give then you make the time, you sit down with that ...
Overall charges and convictions are trending down and have been for a few years now. Looking at the numbers homicide and sexual assault are about the same and violent assualt is trending down. This is from courts though so is not reported crimes. https://...
I don't know that I would be holding Russia up as a good example of positive attitudes towards LGBT. https://www.hrw.org/report/2018/12/12/no-support/russias-gay-propaganda-law-imperils-lgbt-youth
Thanks a lot of reading to get through there.
HI Sabine, I always feel that I am best staying out of these discussions because I can see very valid concerns from both sides. I have been trying to find instances of what you mentioned above as this would be pretty damning evidence of real harm to women....
Agree. The UN will come out of this as big a loser as Russia. It was already a farce when it could take no action against the US for it's invasion of Iraq.
This along with the disabled man who is to be deported to India after 22 years living in NZ reflect really poorly on this government and the lack of value they place upon disabled people. Far to often we have heard similar stories.
If this is your reasoning then I worry about who is open to invasion and being tarred with the Nazi brush https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/09/white-supremacist-group-patriot-front-one-in-five-applicants-tied-to-us-military https://www.theguardian...
Russians have air superiority. This is why there has been a call for a no fly zone, as if that could be enforced without ending up with NATO Aircraft and Russian aircraft in direct conflict. There has been evidence of drone strikes on this convoy and other...
Did he know that he use to run an Airline though?
Being that you haven't attributed this quote to anyone can we assume that it is one of your own deep musings?
There are a lot of scientists who have the skill and time to interrogate the data and extrapolate findings from that data. Their job is to pick out the important information and provide advice on that. Overwhelmingly they appear to support vaccination. ...
Why did you edit out that one sentence in the middle? Seems a bit weird. Not like it was a short post. You were keen to include everything else. 'They're basically baying for a trans woman's blood over this - but then demonstrate complete inconsistency/...
Tell me, were the people you bought your weed off checking IDs and concerned around the age of their customers? If they were can you be sure that the current criminal black market in general is? Making weed legal and selling it from actually controlled ...
No because I understand that when they are referring to townies, they are not intending to tar all townies with the same brush. The same as when they used a broad "lefties" term. I chose to take their argument in the best possible light. That allows for ...
Nor are "townies" but I have yet to see you pull DB Brown on it.
