Wow! (to Anne and DV above) Rarely have I seen such a contemptible interview with a PM. Basically, Tova thinks he's an empty fool, and treats him as such. And he doesn't like it much. The wheels are falling off the CoC bus!
Sorry Iprent, can't resist! I "reckon" the CoC will say, if rents don't rise as quickly as they have in the past, that their policy has worked! But there's no question, rents will still rise, that is a given (unless they precipitate us into a full blown ...
Yes, 310ppm for me to.
And Seven Sharp appears to have escaped untouched! Go figure . . .!
No Right Turn agrees with Shaw's statement: https://norightturn.blogspot.com/search/label/Environment
James Shaw said it for all of us - upon a change of government, environmentally damaging contracts may be cancelled - without compensation! At about 4.50 mark. Bishop and Peters did not like the suggestion at all - but I cheered when I heard it! That ...
No Right Turn gets stuck into the CoC’s transport plan, and quite rightly so. I don’t think climate change registers at all with this collection of deniers! https://norightturn.blogspot.com/search/label/Climate%20Change But, here’s the thing: people don’t ...
Like the USA, NZ has the best democracy money can buy!
Well said, Anne.
It’s no surprise National looks inward and backwards. Once again, the party squandered its time in opposition on torrid internal politics and cynical attempts to win back voters. It learnt nothing about how the world’s changing or what new and effective ...
That speech to me had undertones of facism "Victims of social prejudice far from confined to inter-war Germany were readily to hand: prostitutes, homosexuals, Gypsies, habitual criminals and others seen as sullying the image of the new society by begging,...
I would like (but I'm not holding my breath) for a joint statement by Labour, the Greens and TPM saying, quite explicitly that: a Left-leaning government would nationalise any recently sold, privately owned water resources without compensation upon coming ...
My pick, though only for 2 of the 4, would be Craig Renny, of the CTU and Russel Norman of Greenpeace. /s
Didn't Luxon slag NZ off to a right wing think tank in the UK? Does that think tank have any connections with Atlas?
All I can say is GHU [God Help Us] When confronted by 2 pieces of evidence, she completely ignored them! Her clear intention is to put the boot into beneficiaries - at the same time as her government is giving tax breaks to landlords! Immoral!
Oh oh, Winnie going the same was a Joe Biden? Cognitive decline?
From No Right Turn on the sidebar: Of course, there's a third option: buy politicians to legislate legal impunity for polluters. Which would of course be nakedly corrupt as well as sociopathic. Unfortunately, with our current crop of politicians, that ...
Because for a bunch of people, this government’s tenure so far could be summed up with two main ideas; supporting smoking and questioning the Treaty of Waitangi. At the moment. Give them time. They'll soon be summed up by their opening NZ to foreign ...
Yes, Observer, ration yourself to only major faux pas. Which still means you'll be spending a considerable time commenting here. As you say - 'sticking point' my arse. He could have called both Seymour's and Peter's bluffs - where else could they have gone...
Quotable quote "The cost of living is getting higher than the cost of life" great line.
Some actual evidence would be helpful, a grainy clip on X without any ship identification doesn't do it for me. Show some evidence from other sources will help, Sanctuary has a bad habit of putting out anti Russian propaganda.
As I said it's not at all convincing, a clip from X shows a ship being hit, strange it's not reported in any other media? Can you provide another source which confirms it, otherwise I am calling your copium pathetic.
That clip is not at all convincing and I can find zero confirmation from any other source,
What you seem to be suggesting, Adrian, is that Luxon would struggle to keep that job at McDonalds he posed for in the cover photo for Micky's post. Umm . . . I agree!
On the midday news - RNZ has seen a document that suggests Costello requested the information about freezing the tax increases on tobacco from the Health Ministry. Does this mean she's lied to Parliament? To the Media? To the PM? [Note I listed them in ...
Agreed, but quick witted as well. When asked if she and Winnie had buried the hatchet, Winnie pulled an exasperated face, but she replied "Yes, but not in each other."
After watching QT the last couple of days, I think the opposition needs to refine their method of asking Luxon. They need to abandon double pronged questions, so he can't evade by just answering one part. They need to ask direct, simple questions so he has...
My impression of QT today is that Hipkins, Davidson and Shaw missed the mark when they directed questions to Luxon! Their questions were too long, and Luxon couldn't follow or understand, so he was able to fall back on vague nothings as answers. Words of ...
And whether Luxon will actually answer any questions with more than vague platitudes!
"For the ACT leader, the campaigning last year did not end - it was but a prelude. "Seymour understands that the stability of the current coalition government is only a veneer. Quietly simmering not far beneath the surface is an unresolved volatility as ...
“Because Luxon is such a weak Prime Minister, he is being railroaded by a far smarter David Seymour and out played by a far more cunning Winston.” Bomber sums up the situation quite nicely! https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2024/01/29/mediawatch-when-even-heather...
