Probably for a number of reasons; they may not be seen as the average employee in the way that you or I would be seen as, when we work for a big corporation. Also, they are making political points about the government and it’s policies, in general they’re ...
I was diagnosed as an adult with autism and ADHD about 15 or 20 years ago (mid 2000’s). At the time of my diagnosis, the psychiatrist was surprised that it wasn’t picked up when I started school in 1970, due to the severity, fortunately I’ve managed and ...
@mpledger. Spot on, the counter demonstration was there to stop the initial demonstration/event or whatever it my be described as. I would have thought that for the “granny basher” being part of a counter demonstration and using violet action to shut down ...
Thank you, the incident did take some time to get over, concussion is bad enough, but for me it was the psychological effects that took time to recover. I’m forever grateful that my employer was fully supportive during my recovery and I was on full pay ...

I was seriously assaulted about 4 years ago, by middle class professionals, 3 on 1 while I was seated btw. I was off work for a month with concussion and it was another 6 or 7 months before I could work full time. The judge basically dismissed the case ...
The decline of Jacinda Arderns personal popularity from late 2020 is nothing short of astonishing. As an example, the 1News Kantar poll to 2 December 2020, had her polling 58% as preferred PM; in the same poll just before she resigned (to 30 November 2022)...
The great tragedy is we don’t know their names either.
Unlike the IDF, Hamas (and their supporters?) have little interest in protecting the civilian population of Gaza. It’s even worse than that. Hamas put civilians in harms way by design. That IDF munitions have killed tens of thousands of Gazans in under 4 ...
“Critics of CAMERA” will make all sorts of claims, as have you. And so we can bounce around questioning each others sources, but in the end Israeli’s are murdering Palestinians and Palestinians are murdering Israeli’s. Your views are too entrenched to be ...
A really balanced and thought provoking post, SPC.
Exactly.

"In the Wilson Centre article, at the start of the third paragraph I read this and felt I didn't need to go further:" Well you should have, because my comment was about the people of Gaza electing Hamas to government. Forming a terrorist organisation is ...
There are some in the Arab world for whom a permanent solution is the end of the Israeli nation. The people of Gaza elected a government with those aims. Doctrine of Hamas | Wilson Center There are others in the Arab world who appear to view the ...
Of course. The work has to be done, but is the UN, and UNRWA specifically, the best vehicle for that now, or is it damaged beyond repair?
Perhaps take it out of the UN mandate? I mean between raping children in the Congo (UN peacekeepers in Congo hold record for rape, sex abuse | AP News) and bringing Cholera to Haiti (UN admits for first time that peacekeepers brought cholera to Haiti | ...
Not only China. "Chris Gunness, a former UNRWA spokesman, said the UN agency has weeks only before it runs out of money for its crucial aid work to save Palestinian lives in Gaza. More than 26,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its ...
According to https://elections.nz/media-and-news/2023/official-results-for-the-2023-general-election/, the three coalition parties received 52.78% of the votes. So a 1.2% drop since the election, which is probably within the margin of error. The only other...
Thanks SPC. Hopefully that poll is picking up a different sentiment than the Reuters one.
I'm not seeing any evidence because, despite your claims, you haven't presented any.

I'm not seeing any evidence of widespread or significant opposition from Israeli's. On the contrary: "Just over 100 days after Oct. 7, enduring pain is a key reason why polls in Israel show consistently high support for its military offensive in Gaza, even...
The opening exchanges between Shaw and Luxon were good entertainment though. I thought Shaw's response was particularly humorous.
"there is a large contingent of Israeli citizens who are vehemently opposed to what the IG is doing in Gaza." Is there? Do you have any evidence for that claim? Because according to a variety of news sources, in November (What Israelis Think of the War ...

Sean is an arse, but he is one of only a very few who platform gender critical commentators.
Thanks Weka. Yes, I'm well aware of No Debate and the impact it's having on the free exchange of ideas. Or should I say the freedom of gender critical ideas. Love him or loathe him, Plunkett gives this issue a robust airing, and published this piece by ...
According to the NZEI, your concerns are 'conspiracy based thinking'. And Jan Tinetti, says it's part of some 'imported culture war', and there really is no problem at all. “We have a really good curriculum in this country. The guidelines are not the ...
I've deleted my reply and will stop commenting on this. When I was 18 I lost a close relative (he was 27) to suicide. In my 20's I lost a close friend in a car accident involving a drunk driver. 15 years ago I had to tell the staff at a business I ran that...
