Ann Tolley crushed one. Another national party disastrous, catastrophic, homophobic, profifa failure!
Kotahi, hardly a diversion, since Te Reo claimed "every other candidate". I asked him how he knew. And then asked another question. At no time did I say I had a problem with any other candidates return, though I think you will find that it is a fact that ...
How do you know Te Reo? Did Len Browns donations for the Mayoralty campaign come from a Trust? And if so, how do you know anything about it?
read the report Viper. Its at 41, just to help you. Wow.
I remember you Craig, from a good long time ago, and you made baseless, factually incorrect statements even then, and I see nothing has changed. The only person drinking from a cup of stupidity is you. Read my posts. The police said the allegations do not ...
No Red, I am arguing that the Police could not undertake a successful prosecution because there was not enough evidence to prove Banks guilty. Therefore I argue that in the eyes of the law, he is innocent. Action should not be taken against people just ...
I believe I mentioned 40 in closing Pascal. Having read the report, the Police say in 40 that 'elements" of 134 (2) were met, not saying whether they were referring to 134(2) (a) or (b). Bottom line, they didnt have enough evidence to prove his guilt. It ...
Red, you could try this, straight from the report: 39. Police concluded that this would satisfy the requirement of "False" in respect to The Return, but believe that the circumstances do not reach the Evidential Sufficency Test (assessed against the ...
Ak, you mistake me for someone defending Banks. All I am doing is pointing out that the same people lambasting Banks now, are those who have refused, on multiple occasions, to react with the same vigour when it has been one of theirs that stepped out of ...
Let us remember Darren Hughes. Police say "insufficient evidence to prosecute". Mallard says "he's cleared his name". Goff says "he has integrity". Then there is always Helen Clark. And there is also the small matter of context. Banks was not an elected ...
And I guess the critical question should be asked around use of capital. Why would, or should, a council be owner of an asset that is only returning 6% when it could be invested in a more diversified portfolio of assets, with less risk, and make the same, ...
Because I have access to POS numbers. I don't understand what you mean about actual value being higher than the book value. Book value is as reported in the financial statements giving the numbers used as ROE. Are you alluding to the revaluation of assets?
For a start, ROE Port of Sydney as follows: 2005 17.8% 2006 10.4% 2007 9.2% 2008 12.5% 2009 7.1% 2010 6.6% 2011 7.4% All of these figures are based on average equity, if actual equity in each year was used, the numbers would be higher. And one of the main ...
lprent, hypocrisy seems to be running rampant. Why is it that many left wingers who post to this site can bring up John Key's history regarding foriegn currency trading and banking (much of it untrue or at best, unproven) and not be banned, yet I am for ...
My bad Viper. I see now that it's OK to sign a painting and have it passed of as yours when you are Prime Minister (forgery\fraud), and a minister in parliament acting on advice given from her department. The picture is clear Viper, hypocrisy. [Diversion/...
Firstly, your link (aotearoaeduication) doesnt appear to attribute the numbers you mention to Terry Crooks. Secondly, are you comparing apples with apples? Probably not since you are quoting NCEA level 2, what was Tolley quoting. You appear also appear to ...
Hmm. I recall Helen Clark signed a painting she didnt paint and it was represented as her painting. She survived as Prime Minister didn't she Viper? [lprent: more of this crap. 8 weeks. ]
No KFC or McDonalds on offer this year..........
McFlock, it is apparent that according to you, anything that doesn't fit your ideaological view, is meaningless. Not a great basis for engaging in debate.
it, here's an earlier post I made when someone came up with "it was the right wingers in Greece theory". You can retract any time you like. Voice, not sure your analysis is factually correct. When PASOK were elected in 09, % of debt to GDP was about 110%. ...
Socialism is a depressing thing higher.
McFlock, but socialism always fails in the end. Any system that imposes misery on everyone, will always fall over, since most people would appreciate the opportunity to better themselves at the expense of misery (see Russia ). If they have that opportunity...
Ah-ha! I see your point Draco! Capitalism forces socialists to borrow! Excellent. That would be because the Socialist have nothing further to redistribute without plunging their country into the morass (see Greece). That would be because they have promised...
joe90, you are confusing a system that longrun, always fails (Socialism - see Greece) and short term bubbles in system that works (Capitalism). You clearly don't understand that most people don't want to live in misery, which is one of Socialisms absolutes...
Then there's the rub Draco, don't borrow from anyone. But socialism by it's nature always ends up having to borrow, and other people get sick of not being repaid.
“So why is it so easy to save the banks and so hard to save biosphere? ” Because the science the climate change proponents would have us rely on may not be reliable. Theres and old saying "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" I would also point out that of the ...
For a university educated person, you really have no idea about followng a series of posts, have you kris? But then, one can get a degree in woman's studies these days, so maybe I'm being a bit harsh. "I have worked all my life in manual labour mate as in ...
That'd be history concocted in your world, Draco. From a left wing perspective, things only go pear shaped when the left run out of other peoples money.
kris, as always, out of touch with reality. No, not all of them built the roads, though some of them probably did. They did drive the stock trucks, build houses, cut meat in a butchers, sweep the board at the freezing works, worked at the wharf, worked in ...
Then go find another job that pays better randal, like most people do. Don't sit on your arse and whine.
Hmm, would that be as opposed to the economies of say Greece, Spain and Portugal tc??
