Great question re ram raids, love to know the answer. Seriously… All a campaign by dairy owners? Paid by their trade association? What was the role of the tobacco industry? Who set up any Facebook pages? Are ram raids still happening? Should be, its summer...
My take on Key’s popularity was the guys wanted to be like him and the ladies wanted to date him. Given the current controversy over housing wealth and his lack of looks, I think he’ll prove to be low on that magic X factor the population needs so much of ...
Sounds helpful, for this low lying Christchurch resident! Do you have a reference?
Any real chance of centralist Nat voters like these coming over to Labour to keep the Greens out? The Greens seem over the line in these polls. Panicking Nats voting Labour would help a lot with the Nat’s death spiral if so. Or would it be a step too far? ...
Only one issue in town, re the election... Covid. And only one issue counts there, and that’s the numbers. Today it’s just the one in the community (linked with existing) and one at the border. Effectively zero. Keep that up, and it’s Labour by a country ...
Hi LP, thanks as ever for your site. I’ve had problems viewing the articles for a while now. I see the headline, and the comments, but not the article itself. Not always, but often. Now, today, the ‘design’ is missing too, your banner for example. A ‘...
Exactly right. My vote’s natural home is Labour, plus I feel I owe a huge thanks for the Gov’s Covid effort. But, strategically and for the environment, it would be a disaster for the Greens to go below 5%. No question. So party vote Green for me, ...
Endless best wishes for your birthday! Sincere thanks for everything you have done for us all.
All I’ve done is call for some evidence about a serious allegation. I didn’t ask for names, pictures etc. If there’s evidence, then it needs to be addressed as it takes it up a level. Still seems like a fair question.
Well, I disagree with you! Putting the face of someone into another image is obvious bullying of that person, over and above whoever it is sent to. It is a common weapon of a workplace bully. If that is what has happened here, then this needs to be ...
Reasonable question, tactfully put. I’ll leave the sordid stuff for any investigation thanks. A photoshopped head onto a pornographic body is a common bullying tactic. If that is what has been done here then we deserve to know as it obviously takes It up a...
Any more solid information on this allegation? I mean, if true, if the photoshop head is of any Lab MP and particularly if it’s of an especially popular Lab MP who we all know, respect and admire, then the Nats are done for.
Wonder how Boag got the spreadsheet? If it was done in a way that looks / is malicious (as opposed to ‘shambles’), then Nats are done for. Yay!

Yep, Trump looks stuffed. Google’USA’ and ‘Covid’, and it should produce a graph (at least it does for me). See how the recent trend is very much up?
Guardian disinformation article
Hi, try getting your browser to load a ‘desktop version’. [Corrected e-mail address]
Thanks Weka, desktop view worked in that I can see the article and comments. But, to make a comment I have to go back into mobile view. The problem in desktop view being that the main comment text box won’t let me place my cursor within it. Anyway, thanks!...
Hey Ad, I have to take issue with your comment “Without a vaccine for a long time, protecting the vulnerable and going for herd immunity is the likely path.” Specifically, protecting the vulnerable. In NZ, how would we protect the vulnerable in practice? ...
Thanks for telling me that. Hopefully Lynn Prentice or someone can fix?? I don’t have a computer handy tbh. On an IPhone SE 1, latest iOS
Hey, sorry to ask, but is there text with this post? All I see is the header picture with ‘Oh Sweden’ and comments. So am I missing the article on my phone, or is the post an ‘Open Mike’ style chance to comment with no article?
Absolutely correct in all of this. Hopefully any Labour strategist in a position to do something (Hayden Munro, campaign manager, Ruth Dyson, on Simon’s committee) reads this and is up to the task!! I guess an answer has to be based around the ‘be kind’ ...
Thornley article
Excellent step by step look at Thornley‘s arguments at Newsroom. Totally rebutted imho. Great balanced journalism that shreds Thornley. A very important heads up though on what the attack lines will be on the PM. Easy to find lots of ammunition for those ...
Real Clear Politics
Huge lift in Trump’s approval ratings, post Covid. See the graph at the Real Clear Politics website. An election winning four percent and rising. What on earth is happening in the US to explain this lift? I blame a ‘support the leader’ impulse, in the face...
Let's keep this thread on topic as regarding the actual contents of the budget. The title of the post looked promising, the first few comments not so. Hacks, who is on the cover, etc, just keep for another day. A quick google of the word 'budget' shows the...
The police etc would have checked this out I guess, but... It’s common to set a website up with ‘locked’ pages, that are unreachable and unsearchable until they are unlocked. The point being that it lets the webmaster do the work in advance of when it’s ...
Absolutely correct with this. Or to adopt the Trump way of speaking, ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Expect to see a whole lot more of this fake news style of attack. Hope Arden et al are very well prepared for it.
Just thought to add this to help. To get the wretched stuff video to work, scroll through to the 1 hour, 30 minute mark, and the audio/video will start to play. Used to work in web etc; beggars belief how rubbish the end result can be.
Anyone know how many, when and which national polls are coming out between now and the election?
