Amazing. Just amazing. Go and read the Rotherham Royal Commission report. What an incredible response. Duly observed.
Okay noted.
I'm sorry for a comment that isn't related to the thread. Hi standardistas. I know you have differences with people in New Zealand. But today a man in England was sentenced to death by the Tory government run by the Israeli interests in England for ...
Hi standardistas. I know you have differences with people in New Zealand. But today a man in England was sentenced to death by the Tory government run by the Israeli interests in England for standing up for the working class girls of England. This is ...
Why wasn't Ardern told? If we believe she didn't know, why wasn't she told Labour had resided over the sexual assault and intoxication of underage girls, then did nothing except for utter banalities about covering it up 'for the victims sake?'. Looks like ...
It's going to be really interesting to see how it all works. Big debt reductions because National borrowed too much, unemployment (real, not unsustainable gummint jobs) below 4% and highest in the OECD, child poverty ended, homelessness ended, median ...
It's an admirable compilation of data and deserves praise for the effort. But no one is every going to believe Labour's re-writing of history that they inherited a bad economy when they're spending $20-25billion worth of surpluses in the next 6 years. A ...
This whole spectacle of a 37 year old who has never had to handle a dollar telling the world's best finance minister of the past 30 years who has run 8 budget's he's 'lying' because she has no money for almost everything govt does outside health/edu for ...
Nope. Wrong. You're arguing that they've just conflated operating costs into portfolio monies, and therefore nothing is amiss. But thats the whole point. Of course the portfolio spending will go up. But they simply haven't assigned spending into operating ...
Lol. This shows how smart he is. He anticipated there 'might' be a problem in 6 years. At a time when house prices were falling during the global recession. Based on the Labour settings. He is incredibly intelligent. Bill would have just said social dems ...
Labour would be fine if they ever supported their own policies. They want to build houses. Why then have they held up Three Kings development for three years. Why are they helping the middle class NIMBY's in Point England, taking it to the environment ...
To give Credit to Andrew it was a better speech then last year. Last years was just an awful flailing blurt. This one was more coherent. I could actually understand what he was saying and it made a bit of sense. However it seems like pretty generic ...
It will be extra funny when National win, given that Labour can't spend more then 30% of GDP now but somehow have to be able to cut spending whilst massively raising it. Whose idea was that.
Its going to be extra funny in light of these posts when you guys lose again.
It will be pretty interesting for the Left in the United States when they realise that Orwell is writing about THEM.
He's absolutely right. National have accelerated treaty claims and poured unprecedented money and time into Maori and it seems to have been treated with contemptuous complacent entitlement. Being barred from speaking in the Powhiri and relegated like some ...
It's disgraceful for the Prime Minister to be prevented from speaking on Waitangi Day in the Powhiri itself. Utterly disgraceful. Particularly given the immense largesse of the settlements undertaken by National, and the hundreds of millions of dollars ...
It's 2015: Here's Andrew's: http://www.inthehouse.co.nz/video/37078 (Look at Annette King's expression during the cacophany). Here's Bill's in response: http://www.inthehouse.co.nz/video/37607
Kanye Slater is just being Kanye. Did you see his post when JK left "Prime Minister's come and go, but I'll always remain in Tel Aviv" of something hilarious like that.
The problem for Little is that Bill has all of his strengths, but has additional qualities. Bill is an intellectual. Bill is humble and affable, and his laconic speech isn't forced. If you want to compare the calibre look at Little's speech in reply on the...
Bill's a pretty good looking guy in a rugged way. He is charming, and at times I've seen him electrifying. He's sincere and quite endearing. You make a good point, but I don't think Brian Edwards is correct anyway.
I agree. What we really need is a situation like HNZ's own admission in it's 2010-11 Annual Report. Lets do a Labour job, and have one third of NZ's largest asset class unliveable - rotten and eroded, uninsulated, the wrong size, in places no one wants to ...
I met Helen Kelly once in Dunedin by accident when I was temping as a stevedore very early one morning and she was on site in the supervisor's office. I gave her a gentle, juvenile verbal jab about conditions for us non-union student types who still had ...
There is no surplus. The public service has no money. HNZ is broke - the $20plus billion on it's balance sheet, is not. If govt debt > govt surplus there is no surplus, only debt. How can one have a surplus if one has debt? Therefore no government with ...
Seriously? Is Draco the only person on this website with any semblance of common sense. Bill English has come up with incredibly sophisticated mechanisms to help the people in New Zealand who really, truly need it most. He's figured out how much it's ...
But don't you see the fallacy of that logic? Bill English is just trying to identify the 'real' people who need actual help. He comes up with incredibly sophisticated mechanisms to do that. Labour's answer is that you just 'solve poverty' by 'giving them ...
Thread is dead. But of course patronising Labour think it's landlordism to tell guys who can't pass a drug test, show up 3 days in a row or fill out the form the reality of their ability and standing in the world. National pays these people the respect of ...
What could possibly go wrong with liberals and definite Tories like Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop being symbolically harrangued by some mediocre nonentity unionist from New Zealand on an issue that Australian's don't give a damn about and support the ...
Stuart you need to do a Shane Jones and leave the termite invested log and go to NZ First or admit that National actually look after the working class and effective government 100 times better then Labour does these days and join them. You 'won't' ever be ...
I mean this is what is going to be counter-argued even just by the Greens, let alone the Tories - the laws are already in place in Australia, and haven't worked - per actual data. The only way they will work is if you run a kind of East German Surveillance...
What amazes me is how overnight Labour have given up any identity they thought they had formerly about supporting a multiculturalist society - having invested for years in identity and ethnic politics, they've relinquished it, completely, in a day. All ...
