Thanks SPC. Of note yesterday was the repeal of the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020. The repeal clause in the Act was updated in 2022 so that the repeal occurred yesterday. Both historically important and significant.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 3:26 pm, October 23rd, 2024
Well said bwaghorn. Right wing politicians who don't like democracy (they can't abide it when they aren't in the majority), so they lash out at everything and everyone and claim dysfunction when it is simply a matter of losing votes around the table (and a ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 2:18 pm, July 25th, 2024
He was quite right to do so. MPs voting against their own party/government need to be shown just how stupid they are, especially in a very new Government after 14 years of shambolic Tory Government. They know (or should know) that it is Labour policy to ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 2:24 pm, July 16th, 2024
You are now taking gullibility to a new level. Of course they refused to sign off the report. That is what guilty/stupid people do to delay the inevitable. The report was about her knowledge of the issues and from when, not the issues themselves. It's not ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 3:43 pm, June 4th, 2024
Well said! The only change I would make is at the end of your final sentence - "...should be permanently locked in a padded room."Written By: Nordy - Date published: 9:09 pm, May 28th, 2024
The concept of the public good, and a government seeking to use its ability to borrow to invest in the public good (e.g. public housing), may not seem familiar to you but it is what government of all political 'colours' have done for as long as there have ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 8:20 am, May 16th, 2024
Its called evidence. Unless you think courts and tribunals should just assume what the position of the relevant parties is?Written By: Nordy - Date published: 6:11 pm, May 15th, 2024
The Waitangi Tribunal is not an advisor to Ministers/Crown. Read the Functions section of the Act that established the Tribunal. Your attempt to divert from the reality of its role speaks a great deal about what you are trying to say/not say. It is only ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 8:18 pm, March 10th, 2023
It's good to see you have learnt how to find the information you might want. It wasn't that hard was it.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 7:53 pm, March 10th, 2023
Don't be childish. I said no such thing. I simply pointed out that relying on media to provide accurate advice on court cases/legal decisions was unwise, and that if they want to understand what was decided and why they should read the relevant court ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 5:07 pm, March 10th, 2023
I'm happy for you to do your own homework.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 3:47 pm, March 10th, 2023
I suggest you don't rely on a Stuff article for the facts in any legal case. They and many other media do not understand the law, and often compound their ignorance by not even trying to. Read the court documents before making a decision on what was ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 10:10 pm, December 6th, 2022
Lets not let the facts get in the way of a swipe at Adern/the Government. No one was abandoned. Adern was explicit that it was a team mistake. No individual has been named/blamed for the mistake.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 2:14 pm, September 12th, 2022
It's not clear anyone is proposing to 'throw away' the regulatory framework. Rather, it seems, and we will find out later today, that the govt will remove most if not all the restrictions. The framework will still exist, even if modified. The point of any ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 5:48 pm, August 16th, 2022
Wrong again. Available Labour MPs met to raise questions understand how they could talk about their concerns when one of their members had flagrantly and repeatedly breached of caucus trust/rules. It was not a caucus meeting. Obviously they would not ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 5:31 pm, August 16th, 2022
No - it's called due process. He answers to the group he is part of...given he felt he could slag them all off on social media. If he was actually concerned about antagonising caucus he could have chosen not to antagonise them. Its also called ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 5:04 pm, August 16th, 2022
Yes, very good explanation by the PM of the atrocious behaviour of Sharma and the valid concerns of caucus leading to the decision to suspend him. He has let down caucus, breached the rules/trust of caucus and now faces the appropriate consequences. The ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 3:55 pm, August 16th, 2022
When you say 'not good from a PR perspective', are you suggesting good process should not occur because some might not like what it 'looks like'? I suggest you wait until the facts are known, rather than join the ill-informed speculation fed all along by ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 1:27 pm, August 9th, 2022
Feeble attempt to distract from a deteriorating situation. Try harder.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 12:57 pm, August 9th, 2022
You don't have to keep up your defence of Uffindel. His and the National Party stories are looking shakier by the minute. He now admits to being a bully at school - i.e. multiple incidents of violence. This was all hidden from voters and the wider party ( ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 11:02 am, August 9th, 2022
The repeal bill will have its 3rd Reading today. It's no surprise that National continue to speak with 'a forked tongue'. It is their MO.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 6:39 pm, August 1st, 2022
No one is suggesting the Labour Party is perfect. This case is a case against individuals, not political parties. The fact that party officials are testifying as witness supports this. If you have evidence that the two parties (including their officials) ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 5:07 pm, August 1st, 2022
Keep changing your story and you might eventually get to what I actually said about the NRT comment.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 4:13 pm, August 1st, 2022
No - I just know how to read and not to make things up.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 2:52 pm, August 1st, 2022
NRT incorrectly stated Labour Party officials are currently being prosecuted. They aren't. The link to a press item to the current case is a description of party officials giving evidence as witnesses (not being prosecuted).Written By: Nordy - Date published: 1:32 pm, August 1st, 2022
I see NRT has made the elementary mistake in the 'plugging to loophole' item available on the feeds of thinking the donations court case on currently is prosecuting either National or Labour. It isn't. It is a prosecution against people who made or ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 1:28 pm, August 1st, 2022
You need to remember V you aren't engaging with logic or rational argument. It's a waste of time trying to explain the facts or use logic when those you are responding to aren't.Written By: Nordy - Date published: 1:16 pm, July 19th, 2022
I was being fair. It is fair to expect people to bring some logical consideration to things they may read, including actually being bothered to check they actually understand the the issues and facts, including their context. Just simple things we learn at ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 12:28 pm, July 19th, 2022
If you listened to/watched the press conference you would know your assertions are more BS. The change was prompted by the WHO and will be consistent with other countries we compare to. In addition, the current measure/statistic will continue to be ...Written By: Nordy - Date published: 4:00 pm, July 16th, 2022
It's your 'thinking' that is the problem. Also, a poor attempt at deflection simply shows your attempts to defend Luxon are becoming more and more desperate.
