The constant targeting (even during the last 2 years or so) of people who have either serious ongoing mental health issues, are caregivers of elderly and/or disabled family members (for a pittance - saving the state many thousands) and anyone else now ...
Feijoa.. I wondered if it is to do with the RMA as it stands. The Coalition want to change it, and I think Māori have say in it under Te Tiriti?
It's coming up to 3.5 months since our election.. almost a third of a year. The great undoing has commenced but have the government produced any actual policies yet? Or did I blink and miss it?
Seymour is warming everyone up for a Brexit type roadshow to promote a republic...he wants to be El Presidente!
If Luxon was to fall over in some way over the next few years. Would that put Peters or Seymour in the drivers seat? (As deputies ) Or would a new PM come out of National? Asking for a friend.
"Current services, which remain largely unchanged since our asylums were decanted in the 90s, are no longer fit for purpose. These one-size-fits-all institutions were transplanted into the community but have retained their paternalistic and isolated ways" ...
James Simpson - I think the media are closely watching that very large and cavernous space.
This is the interesting bit "take time to explain the problems and the reality that we're facing. Most importantly, take the time to explain how we're going to resolve that, how we're going to solve those problems. " It reads to me that it's like an old ...
If you can get married and pay taxes you should be allowed to vote on what your taxes are used for. A lot of young people work at 16 and they are contributors to our public purse. My grandson earns wages at 16 and my son also earned at 16..they have a ...
Only if the pies are being restocked
Nothing quite like feeding people to the lions as a distraction from their own dodgy issues...
Also...glasshouses and all that...I worked in the fashion industry for some years, some years ago. I also worked at a very high end shop. The amount of shoplifting by the women who were well off in the high end shop was Epic! Much less in the lower socio ...
She would have been better off if she assaulted someone with a piece of furniture... Much more acceptable.
Invisible ink is quite hard to come by these days.
*Thinker... Nicola Willis always has that face..she's seen stuff...
Who on earth is going to saddle up and turn up at a tangihanga demanding that anyone with a patch pops it into the patch box by the door and collects afterwards ? Or that they take them off on the road...all against civil liberties and just plain wrong. I ...
Can't keep calling them "fringe parties" any more, they have political clout.
I think that Winston would call that "pure speculation" He hasn't made any commitments to any party has he? All I hear is Luxon talking...
I think that Winston would call that "pure speculation" and not worth his time and energy. He hasn't made any commitments to any party has he? All I hear is Luxon talking...
If they had some nuts they would see the opportunity and grab it!
They need to stop acting like is FPP and get it together so that people aren't marginalized by race, poverty and access to resources and the left leaning parties sort themselves into something resembling a govt and drag peters away from the goon show.
I think there's a virtual cauliflower somewhere in the ether offering something along those lines
I am saddened by the information saying that the Women's Rights group are anti transgender. Not appealing. It's a sub group of the far right. Especially the American far right. I disagree with any part of our community being mislabeled and ostracized as a ...
All actual political discussion aside... what was with the disturbing hand choreography? Both Jessica Much and Jack Tame were gesticulating like lovelorn Italian men in a stage play...a new visual language I don't understand?
Winston and his circus of fools. He will suck the life out of Act hopefully and that Freedom party then leave them to their devices lost in the corridors of power, wandering waif like and howling until they find themselves locked in the basement while he ...
Remember that Luxon is still polling lower than Judith Collins was ...so no matter what the Nats are saying about coalitions it's a long long way from any of those 2 parties being a done deal yet.
Winston and his army of the dead - resurrected and wheeled out at every election- is quite happy to simply stuff up anything to do with National since the winebox affair. He only needs to take votes away from them and ACT to be victorious. And he will. He ...
One of the big issues for most, especially solo parents, is security for their family. Have been a solo parent and really wanted to buy out the ex so I could keep the family home and kids in place during the turmoil. On the benefit with my home business it...
Interestingly I was told today by a random and unrelated couple of people who voted for Wayne that they are not impressed and hope he manages to redeem himself. These are people from low income backgrounds. I hardly think he's on their side. But if you ...
Shanreagh we had no idea the weather was going to be a problem outside of the East and Northern areas of Auckland, because they were specifically noted in the weather for the day. We live out West and had to go to an appointment. It was on our return that ...
Notably we haven't heard anything from the National Party in Auckland this weekend. Not a peep. Probably away on holiday in Hawaii watching Elton John.
