It would have been awesome if on coming home, there was a quick survey by MBIE about the skills our people are bringing back with them so MBIE could start doing some number crunching of the talent coming home to help our rebuild. Or at least an email ...
He mentioned that he let his family down. I really feel for his family -having experienced being cheated on myself, it has a profound impact, let alone this being made public. I also think that while this was seemingly consensual, there is definitely too ...
Jacinda did a brilliant job. May be we should question whether men should be in politics at all, they do let their hormones run away with them. I do worry when I get on a plane with a male pilot - will they be ok? Men have historically had a great ...
Great to hear all your thoughts about this. Just listening to RNZ feedback and people saying that this is dirty politics and the difference about Jacinda not going public and Judith mentioning it in the media.
Yeah I get that there will be some shit thrown back at Labour, and of course Collins is going to publicise it being the dick she is. However there is a principle of not being there in the first place. - ie keeping above the level and genuine integrity. ...
Ha ha I was thinking that - the new Winston Peters in the making
Wow really? Definitely should be off the panel list and about time, she is such a smug tosser. I hope the true blue Nats won't keep to their trumpian loyalty and really see this for the dirty politics that it is. To use vulnerable people for their own ends...
Interesting about the horticulture industry crying out for workers. - what a load of crock. My 18 year old has been trying to get fruit picking or other similar work and applied for lots of jobs but heard nothing or they don't want them because they want ...
A few of us were discussing how people rise up in the ranks but are bullies. Some are pretty obvious but then you get the smiling assassins. Like Diane Maxwell. I can picture her being the girl who excluded others in those awful triads that girls get ...
Short answer is nope and no partner (cis male or other) has rights over someone else's body no matter how long they have been together. It would terrify me if this happened - just feels like a slippery slope towards Margaret Atwood's dystopia which gave me...
How should we raise our daughters then? Raise them to think they have control and independence of their bodies until at some points of their life, society thinks they shouldn't or there is inequity to be able to make these choices. Don't we all want to be ...
Thanks - a paid advert makes more sense as to why I couldn't find a specific link to this although plenty back to Family First. I got so angry that it has made me realise, I need to do something and get active in this area again to be part of the solution ...
I heard it on RNZ news this morning and will try and hunt down the link - they said there was an article in two national papers.
RNZ news about another anti-abortion group - this time women who have had abortions saying the govt needs to consider the emotional effects partly funded by family first! The PM wants this to be a health issue - damn right! As an older women who is so ...
Restructuring of the public sector churn. This article has really resonated with many of my colleagues going through restructuring that commenced under national and has continued to keep that same agenda under our present Government. Most of us are Labour ...
I would like to make a plea to the Labour and Green MPs in regard to the employee screening. Please ensure that there is an independent authority set up to screen employees and do not leave it in the hands of the police and their vetting system. there have...
That's the other thing many parents like myself don't know about all the various assessments that have been around that worked and as you said have been dumped by National. No word of this in msm either.
and that funny paper stuff call "cash" !
It's like the Blue's Brothers..."Follow the plan!"
My experience yesterday as one of the huge numbers of people who just wanted to get out of the city was also implementing our family plan. It was a really useful exercise for my family as we have a plan which has stages and the first stage includes our 14 ...
don't even get me started on doctors having career conversations with their patients as if it is something anyone has the skill to do. No offence to you doctors who are aware of the world of work but the ones I know live in a comfortable little world and ...
actually it is worse - if a person has had a case dismissed - ie pronounced innocent but the cops still dont like it cos it showed them up then they can red stamp someone and then that could be brought up in a police check and take it futher as well. Not ...
It is worse then people think. do people know that the Police can "red stamp" you if they think you are dodgy and it shows up in a police check. You may not even know until you decide to be a coach for your kids rugby and have a police check done, or ...
I think if you fit in with their "norms" you are ok but don't question them lol. I still find it funny we support an organisation that was founded by one seriously fucked up dude. One of my friends was assessed as "at risk" because she was young and not ...
Ok I am all for it as long as they do something about the "holier than thou" manner of some of the plunket nurses. I was a young mum with my first and even with my second child another plunket nurse was so condescending and "put me in my place" that i ...
so 24 million for the novapay debacle and 38 million for that strange boat race....hmmm what could this country do with 62 million?????? oh yes then we have that money spent on private schools especially special ed funding so that rich kids get help with ...
“Private contractors cutting corners in the Government’s welfare-to-work programme by …“creaming” money for getting people into work that would almost certainly have done so without their involvement.” That cuts both ways though. When I worked for a small ...
Though there are a few blue-greens in the area. I live there and totally agree, many labour voters have been priced out of living in these areas. The only thing in labour's favour is that even in Ngaio/Khandallah, people know people who have been made ...
I thought Helen Clark went in 2000 when she took a bunch of school students who had won a school competition about Gallipoli.
Thanks for publicising this and linking to where it is happening as I missed it last time. Can forward it on to workmates and friends - great to get the numbers!
I found Torchwood interesting whereby when the British Govt was deciding what children (became known as units) they would sacrifice to the aliens, someone said "it's easy, what are league tables for?" - so got the low socio economic schools. Lots of uses ...
