I think the main difference that should be considered when making substantial changes to this community/site is that this government actually stands for things and has promised to do much more than the previous government. This means we should be ...
If your first chance is wasted on simply rolling back some (not all) of the changes made by your opposition, you are an incrementalist. This is not what I voted for.
What makes you think an amateur would be better at balancing the rent increase/vacancy rate equation than a professional? Particularly considering the professional's entire income is dependent on maintaining high vacancy rates whereas the amateur (by ...
Multi-property investor landlords will probably not be able to raise their rents any more than usual. If they have any sense, they will be getting as much as they can already. People often forget the second part of that supply/demand graph - the money has ...
Social media has less and less to do with popularity now and more to do with how well-manicured the posts are, and how much money is thrown at them. Now that Labour is in government, it would be surprising to see them drop below National's figures, now ...
How can you tell this person's column is nothing but a trolling exercise? Because they obviously haven't bothered to actually read the commitments Jacinda's government has made to the rainbow communities. These commitments are the greatest advance for the ...
Interesting how, when the contact with National started to drift off around lunchtime, that's about the time the dollar also started to descend. Except nobody would have known that things were going south for the Nats except for them and NZF. A case of the...
It's a romantic notion - the idea of waging a digital war against the opposition by going head-to-head on their platforms and in their articles. However, that's all it is - romantic; and is actually counterproductive. If there is one thing the wider-left ...
How could Labour implement such a policy from opposition? [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in future.]
National can offer Whangarei, but Labour can offer Northland. The majority there is 1,389. If you stand aside Willow-Jean, and allow her +8,000 vote share go to Peters, it becomes a safe NZF seat.
Yep. I wonder if he'd have called UF (before they entered oblivion) and Act 'losers' without prompting.
This is the problem with conservatives and conservatism: there is no tolerance for diversity on any level. It shows through in National's FPP campaign and it shows in the Herald contributors' lack of understanding of the purpose of MMP; which is to provide...
What I was disappointed by this year was the advertising campaign for the EasyVote card. This was an advertising campaign that ran from xx-xx-17 until 23 August. The idea was to enroll to vote to get a card sent out to you to make it easier on election day...
Maybe this is why we got such a crappy deal from TPPA? Also... if he was a spy... do you think he would admit to being one? If he did, that would make him the world's worst spy.
"It’s worth remembering that real wages don’t sustainably increase unless there is productivity growth." It's also worth remembering that real wages don't increase *at all* until workers get real bargaining power.
WINZ are pulling $20 a week out of my wages and nobody there can actually explain why.
1. In my industry, the industry standard qualification is not enough. Entry level positions require 2 years' experience. For positions that are on the immigration skills list. I cannot for the life of me think why the government would put these roles on ...
