I totally agree that Jago is immeasurably worse than any shoplifter, and that he got a lot of name suppression time which is hard to understand. The question of legal bills is an very good one to ask, too. But the "one person got name suppression and the ...Written By: Max - Date published: 10:49 am, February 4th, 2025
"What did the court think was different about Ghahraman?" She never asked for name suppression. Her name and the allegations were in the news for weeks before she appeared in court. The Green Party had already publicly addressed the allegations and stood ...Written By: Max Moss - Date published: 12:53 am, March 17th, 2023
Re-naming Auckland railway stations. Where is the widespread public demand for this? There is not any. But there is a widespread public demand to rein in wasteful council spending. Start saving money by firing the people who foist this stupidity on us. ...Written By: Max Thomas - Date published: 1:06 pm, May 6th, 2020
Except by 21st century folk who can't read history, or are 'professionals' who view ordinary workers with disdain. Yes Labour deserted ordinary workers in 1984 but somehow covers that up with 'fairy dust'/'free' shit to retain a voter base.Written By: Max Thomas - Date published: 12:59 pm, May 6th, 2020
Consider the rot that contributed to finishing off union power was social policy like no-fault divorce and 'daddy state' benefits with a feminist movement co-opted by neo-liberalism. The aim was to weaken men both in the home and on the paid work front. ...Written By: Edward J Max - Date published: 2:06 am, January 25th, 2019
President Trump has been talking with the ACOE for a year. As Commander-In-Chief, he needs to direct the Army to build the wall. The DOD has plenty of $ for this effort.Written By: Edward J Max - Date published: 2:02 am, January 25th, 2019

You dickwads. Nathan Phillips is not a Vietnam Vet. I am tired of fake news. Do your due diligence! Anyway, what adults treat children the way they treats these Covington kids? Answer: Child abusers.

Q. - How can you tell the American university students holidaying in Europe? A. - Their backpacks have Canadian flags on them. The only Americans you know for sure are war criminals are the ones who live in the White House.Written By: Max Moss - Date published: 6:11 pm, August 14th, 2015

As a child/youth I could pretty much swim in any river or lake I came to without fear of it being polluted. Not anymore. The loss of this essential rite of my youth should fill everyone with fear.

I am a member of David Cunliffe's LEC. David is adored by his LEC. Over the past 11 years I have watched him build it into a large, ethnically diversified, well-managed team. If Cunliffe switches parties, I predict the entire LEC will switch with him. If ...Written By: max - Date published: 2:27 pm, November 21st, 2012
Seriously. Stop fighting get your shit together behind the leader and go after National. Do you think the res tof NZ thinks this is a vote winning idea? No.Written By: Max Bradford - Date published: 1:55 pm, June 25th, 2012
Xtasy needs to do his or her homework before launching into such diatribes. Energy prices fell for 3-4 years after the reforms in 1998, and lines prices fell for many years before slowly rising again. The data shows that clearly. And the retail electricity ...Written By: Max Bradford - Date published: 10:22 pm, June 23rd, 2012
xtasy - who is unnamed to the public bothering to read this blog - says power prices didn't reduce after the 1998 reforms. Try the facts at: http://www.odt.co.nz/opinion/opinion/187418/electricity-reform-facts-and-fiction You then launch into a commentary ...Written By: Max Bradford - Date published: 9:42 pm, June 23rd, 2012
The further the debate moves on, the less the commentators show their understanding of (a) competitive markets and (b) the structure of the electricity sector in NZ. For Redlogix, let me say I have been involved in energy economics since the 1970s as an ...Written By: Max Bradford - Date published: 8:32 pm, June 23rd, 2012
If the competition is the evil that Keen thinks it is, and that monopolies are "the most efficient firms", then why is it that all governments - except North Korea and other quaint countries like that - are pursuing neo-classical market competition? You ...Written By: Max Bradford - Date published: 7:42 pm, June 23rd, 2012
It might be so in your terms, but we still won't be on any ground worth arguing, as you are starting from the proposition that the 1998 reforms were to move to a "free unregulated market". They never were that e.g. the lines business was and still is ...Written By: Max Bradford - Date published: 5:51 pm, June 23rd, 2012
We simply aren't going to agree will we? The blog exchange you referred to in 2009 pointed out a number of references, and fact based research which commentators on the left choose not to agree with, so we'll simply have to agree to disagree.Written By: Max Bradford - Date published: 5:21 pm, June 23rd, 2012
I could find you a dozen scholarly articles arguing the opposite too. It suffers from at least 2 problems: (1) it ignores the facts of what happened in the NZ context, and the facts of what happened to electricity prices and why; and (2) how is it that the ...Written By: Max Bradford - Date published: 4:17 pm, June 23rd, 2012
Bollocks to you too. National said power prices would drop after the introduction of competition, not privatisation, and they did. It was only after the Clark led Labour government reintroduced a bizarre form of regulation from 2002 onwards and compelled ...Written By: Max Moss - Date published: 3:11 pm, June 18th, 2012
This was an outstanding speech by David Cunliffe. He covered all the issues and articulated clear proposals for a saner, more prosperous, more equal society. This Saturday (June 23, 1 pm,) he takes on the Greens at the Titirangi War Memorial Hall. I've ...Written By: Max Moss - Date published: 11:46 pm, June 8th, 2012
New Zealand is NOT a democracy. It is a parliamentary dictatorship. The next great battle will be for democracy: for the voters to be able to stop actions of parliament (via binding citizen initiated referendums) and for voters to have decision making ...
