Wow, that is either a very ignorant view or you are friends with headchoppers of Idlib. Mr McRoberts needs to use his intelligence and visit Damascus before venturing off to the frontlines of Idlib. Maybe you actually believe the white helmet and al Qaeda ...
So the media have been instructed to bring Simon down. Interesting.
I can confirm that the GP candidate was actively telling people that he only wished for the party vote. This was emphasised through newspaper articles and candidate meetings. So it wasn't through lack of trying :-)
At least there was transparency with Dotcom; we know where the funding came from. What about all the private fundraisers the Gnats have where the donors are not disclosed? They aren't shelling out money without expecting something in return.

Hi David What will Labour do to create healthier food environments and to help consumers make healthier lifestyle choices beyond just telling them what they should do (as is the case under the National Govt)? Will you reinstate HEHA or something even ...
It's called self esteem to own a pair of working shoes in NZ.
And.... Decile 6 is considered kind of well off.
I'm a teacher at a decile 6 High School and can honestly say that most days I'm asked for sellotape, staples and/or blue tack to hold clothing, shoes and bags together...
In response to your article above one wonders when personal and professional integrity comes into the equation? John Key appears to be loyal to his colleague. Personal Integrity is defined as “upholding ones values and standards”. Professional integrity is...
The Unicef report that has just been released rated New Zealand 20th out of 35th developed countries for our rate of children living in poverty. That is between Slovakia and Estonia. 1 in 5 (or 200,000) children are going with out basic necessities. This ...
I think it is quite reasonable to criticise Shearer as representing the "old guard" and personally being "too new" or too inexperienced for the role - it is worth keeping in mind we are talking about the leadership role, not something to grow into, you're ...
Pete, I'm loathe to engage with you because I'm sure we could spend many hours arguing backwards and forwards about this or that particular point and have neither of us give any ground. I was simply saving myself some time and energy because I do not think...
Hi Pete, I make no apologies for my left-leaning tendancies and I wouldn't assume you should apologise for yours either - whichever direction you lean. We probably agree that most NZers want our nation and NZers to be prosperous. We simply disagree on the ...
Hi seeker, I'm ashamed to say I don't know Red Alert but I will have a look. Mine is only one voters opinion. I've only recently discovered this place out of complete frustration with the mainstream media. Please excuse my totally unqualified voice but if ...
Watching this play out in the media, I have been really puzzled by Shearer's haste - and troubled by it too - I can't help but feel it's a bit naive or arrogant. It seems clear to me that he has potential on paper but when I've watched him he really isn't ...
Kia ora koutou, I've been watching conversations for a while - creepy I know. It's nice to finally step out of the shadows. Thank you for the kind reception and sorry for the overly long post, it's been brewing for a bit. You've done a good deed, posting ...
I'm not a party member however I am a committed Labour voter - I believe I was likely born ideologically opposed to the political/economic right and I'm likely to die that way. I'm very sad to see Phil Goff step down. I think he'd have made a good PM and ...
MMP definitely gets my vote! I'm happy with list MPs as well as electorate MPs. I believe the democratic element of the electorate MPs is a valuable accountability mechanism. It also facilitates ongoing public access to, and influence on, elected ...
Thanks for sharing your insights, Bill. Yes, there are plenty of lessons to be learned from the Occupy movement. It's a shame, though, that the movement is stonewalling those who are making suggestions - it's hard to engage when there is no response. I ...
So what do the disengaged do? There are a lot of people who want to work towards structural change in a more collective environment, but don't even know where to begin to create such an environment. Yes, there needs to be something far more inclusive and ...
Very astute, Bill. I have voiced my concerns to the Occupy Auckland movement that they are behaving in an exclusionary fashion (many people who are sympathetic to their overall message feel the same way) but they have not responded to my concerns at all. ...
This is great it's the first time I've had a laugh and I think we are awesome.
All that pales in comparison to his baby eating escapades.

I can't understand how a blog works, because my posts seem to vanish and I do hope this one stays here ? Kind regards xxx IrishBill says: your posts vanish because you are Dad4Justice and you have been banned for life for threatening another commenter. [...
All my girls friends, who are young mothers are totally against this smacking law . Yes AG - Chester did kiss Sue .
Great to see Labour have put the Family First .
I see, one cannot ask Tane a question ?
