It disapointed me greatly that flagrant wage theft which this an example of wasnt made subject to a criminal charge. I think maybe the Greens had a members bill in but I cant understand why Labour as a party of the workers wont do it. It would absolutly be...
https://www.smh.com.au/national/long-covid-doesn-t-exist-as-we-know-it-according-to-new-research-20240314-p5fcjz.html Interesting article if it holds up 'long covid' isnt really a thing rather a post viral syndrome that occurs at similar rates to other ...
Reality is if you cant take people with you anything you achieve is bound to fail. Look at how quickly the current govt is undoing major legislation. 3 Waters and RMA reform gone burgers. Shaw's approach is the right one. Get cross party consensus first ...
Kinda hoping this 1st 100 days its not going to end in incoming govts spending a huge chunk or time and money cancelling everything the previous govt has done. Recipe for complete inertia.
I do wonder if theres room something similar to clean slate or a way to have a conviction not entered / discharged on completion on relevant programs. No matter what happens its often the victim that has to live with the worst of the consequences of an ...
Mainly relating to the long term conseqeunces of conviction at a young age and taking into account the autism diagnosis. As an example i'm familiar with three people I went to school with severly assualted someone oversome percieved slight. Two were ...
Yep no arguement from me, I would really like to see some sort of investigation into the dreadful police response cant decide if it was incompetence or something more delibrate.
Agreed, in the here and now conviction seems the only sane descision. On a longer term view there is room for debate for a bunch of reasons. What is certain is that provacation is not an excuse or defence for assault.
Who'd want to be a judge... Without know much in the way of the offenders background, taking the long term societal view maybe the outcome is the best one within the confines of the options available to the judge. Between the mob mentality on the day which...
Mental health isnt an excuse for violent assualt... thousands of people battle their demons every day without resorting to assualting elderly woman.
Knowing someone involved in the planning, end goal is terrestial tv3 is turned off late 25 and it will move to a completely digital streamed service showing content from the discovery stable with news content coming from a sky news type feed and some cheap...
Think he picked up a plum job with a global recruitment consulting outfit, although could well be attempting to 'earn' his salary by engraiting himself the the Nats.
Revenge is a dish best served cold? Or is there a leadership challenge coming and this is the opening salvo?
Pretty sure the locals know the likes of Bathurst will walk away at some point. The problem, is a viable alternative that provides well paying employment to support a move away from coal extraction hasn't been put forward by anyone.
Yet all that funding he didnt get close to winning... the article linked in the op does note he did reveal he was supported by Bathurst and he has called himself a stooge for the mining industry previously. I'll bet damn near everybody who voted for him ...
At an electorate level i'm not bothered by this at all. No doubt there are a handful of electorates around the country that do have significant issues with central govt policy or the direction of travel of govt on the whole. That funding has allowed a ...
I guess the rubber has hit the road, too many councils underinvested in core infrastructure prefering to push funding into more glamerous projects and keep rates artificially low and voters were quite happy to vote for it. Surely large rate rises to cover ...
Excellent I like to spread the word when I find a good little nursery...
If you are after subtropicals I really do recommend checking out and supporting Twin falls in the Far North... good people lovely plants. https://www.twinfallsnursery.co.nz/
Probably because Millsy appears to be quite happy to imprision people for what he beleives is 'wrong think'

Sadly this is right on point. It would be transformational if a political party pledged to vest power and funding in to local communties instead of relentless centralization.
The Nats are pretty cunning what chance one of recipients is from the 'left' side... someone like Kris Faafoi perhaps...
Ideology.
Id be quite happy for the pair of them to be disqualified. Neither are fit for the role.
Well, speaking from personal experience hes a very effective electorate mp... I think because he has wanted to secure his Epsom seat and make it immposible for the Nats to sink him. I reckon hes acheived that. I'd also call him very determined to acheive ...
Not that suprising, he's been in or on the news almost daily for the last few weeks... essentially his soap box now has a megaphone attached and like it or not there are a plenty of NZrs who like what hes got to say about the treaty etc. I reckon hes ...
Previously yes, but he's actually a very active and effective elecorate mp so I doubt a Nat candidate would get near him even with say Luxon's endorsement.
Broadly agree although now I think we've reached or possibly passed the point where prohibition does more harm than good. Theres now a massive black market for ciggarettes and its a very lucrative trade without the penalties that come with the likes of ...
Does prohibition in all its forms ever work?
