The government now needs to sort out the public broadcasting issues. Firstly Radio NZ national needs to have a name change. Secondly whoever writes the RNZ National news broadcasts needs to be fired. There is disproportionate time given to Soiman's ...
Wayne - Corbyn was in Tunisia. The athletes in question are buried in Libya
Same here Kay.
Menstrual cups are expensive. There is at least one so called "social enterprise" giving one free for every one purchased. There has also been toxic shock syndrome diagnosed through using these cups.
Paula Bennett bleating about victims of bullying and intimidation?? She has a fine record on that issue - releasing personal and financial information about sole parent beneficiaries because they questioned publicly the decision to cut a training allowance...
This farcical situation in the rest home industry has gone on far too long. The government need to call them out on it. While making record profits, the private providers say they are unable to pay Registered Nurses the going rate DHBs pay. They want the ...
That is a very comprehensive (2012) document which blew my mind to read it Pat. Is/has anyone taken notice of, or implemented, of its many points on technical competence, safety and quality in the building, design and associated processes of the ...
The Freedom Flotilla is shining a light on human rights abuses in Gaza. The people who sailed on the Al-Awda are courageous human beings willing to challenge the Israeli thugs who have kidnapped than in international waters - an act of piracy. And Israel, ...
Unlawfully boarding a boat in international waters and kidnapping its occupants is called Piracy. Is the international community watching this? If so what are they going to do about this unlawful act?
Jacinda has achieved much in the short time she has been PM. She is a breath of fresh air, sincere, authentic and aware of the huge job in front of her. Tonight she released her own statement by mobile phone camera, on the launch of the new Best Start and ...
Sanctuary....Exactly my thoughts when listening to that Tim Brown piece this morning.
Sanctuary....I heard that piece on RNZ with the grizzling farmers and thought the same about the MSM.
So the Duke of Cambridge has been sent to Israel for what? To boost UK profits from Israel's militarism? Promote the business of UK banks, financial institutions and the 19 companies known to supply Israeli military and government with weapons to support ...
Yes. Brava Tova O'Brien. Is Simon Bridges trying to channel Donald Trump with these antics? Will it appeal to NZers? Most trades I know say they have always done better under a Labour government, both for their family and in business.
The ability to dance would appear to be irrelevant on a show like DWTS. Isn't it audience phone in votes that count? ( which means keeping public watching so they can be delivered up to advertisers.) That is what it is about. I can assure you that people ...
In spite of the very short time frame, I heard that there was a big increase in applications for the Bachelor of Nursing for 2018 at my local tertiary institute. Will the journalists seek the truth of the figures for trades enrolments & apprenticeships? Or...
the Prime Minister's baby name just announced: Neve Te Aroha Ardern Gayford. I am so proud of this Kiwi family, with both Jacinda and Clarke new role models of how men and women can be in the world - in my life time.
Well - this thread has certainly flushed out the misogynists and the trolls. Are they paid to troll here I wonder?
Chris T...does it need to be spelt out? Have you not noticed we have a woman Prime Minister, who has given birth while in office, with a partner who is committed to a primary care giver role in the life of this child. Many aspects of this NZ phenomenon are...
NZ provides something beautiful and life enhancing in the midst of the evils happening in other parts of the world, especially the brutalising of children in the chaotic crazyworld of the US. Wonderful news indeed and we will be celebrating here.
The company under the spotlight is Thompson and Clark.

After the nine years of lies, obfuscation, Dirty Politics, ethics free government, why should NZers trust what Simon says?
Brava to Eugenie Sage. The Mayors are behaving as they usually do - hand in glove with the business interests who put them in office. Just as the John Key Appointed ECAN councillors were put there to feather the nests of the irrigation and farming lobby.
Don't have time to watch this to end, but think it was made last year. I have seen it before. While there are some differences in Australian situation, there are also many similar problems for those elderly who buy into these exploitative contracts in NZ. ...
It would be a fitting gesture at this time for the government to abandon all benefit sanctions which impact on NZ children. Many cases have been imposed for not naming the father, or petty breaches of benefit rules. They have been in effect for far too ...
So the taxpayer will find a new $10 million high speed gondola for the Whakapapa Skifield. Another subsidy for private businesses. Ordinary wage earners foot the bill.
In the last week I have discovered that a post box which for years had been sited in my local mall at the Paper Plus shop, has gone along with the closure of Paper Plus shop. On that occasion I had " return to sender" mail which had arrived at my place for...
Astonishing revelations by Police. There are obviously a few people out of control at the top. They need to have criminal charges laid against them, with all costs paid by those responsible.
Totally agree. Guyon Espinor is a hectoring bore. I am tired of his style of interviewing. He's more suited to Fox News. And as for John Key - for years he refused to be interviewed on Morning Report.
Morrissey.......when the power elites throughout the world collude with the settler colonial project in Palestine, as they have done since 1948, this is an example of how war crimes are rationalised through the corporate media. Killing unarmed protesters ...
