2017 estimated cost of the East-West route $327 per km, that's 2017 remember. Does simple simeon think construction costs have declined? the $2 billion figure I have seen quoted in the media is a joke, probably closer to $2.5 billion or more. there is ...
RumpleLuxon, the guy spins gold into straw, everything he touches at the monent breaks.
typical ACT as well. If Seymour wants to save some money go and have a look at what else double dipton chris is pocketing, or scrap a $2 billion east-west motorway in Auckland. That dud of a road was forecast to cost $330 million per km back in 2017, ...

Hello police how can we help? Some one has just held up my shop with a semiautomatic weapon Look I'm sorry but all police are too busy running around trying to take patches off gang members to respond. In the mean time why doesn't this government cut ...
I think it's reasonable to know where funding is coming from for organisations involved in elections, both political parties and lobby groups. If the source of the funding isn't a problem, no problem declaring it. If the source is a problem, consider ...
What? Expecting National to do in power what they say in opposition? Bit of an imposition isn't it. Preposterous
a pamphlet got inserted into my local free newspaper this week. "The Treaty Of Waitangi An Explanation" its called, published by the NZ Centre for Political Research. That is put together by ex ACT MP Muriel Newman, an ACTesque lobby political group. Going...
things like governance and a gradual shift over time toward more maori power and decision making is a threat to the political/economic structure ACT and their historical supporters, eg Brash. their halcyon days were premised on a market approach that ...
unless I am mistaken, Simeon Brown charged with a replacement for 3 waters. Give me strength. All those councils who campaigned against 3 waters, I guess they will now be happy with the national government putting control back to them and requiring them to...
about 7% of the population gosman a pretty facile argument
developing “a new class of financially separate council-owned organisation” so the various councils who wanted to retain direct control of water resources are now going to be made to set up a separate organisation, potentially out of their direct ...
my overall impression everything can be sacrificed for tax cuts. every bit of funding allocated to tax cuts, nothing left for anything else. not a budget based on commonsense and reality, but rather one fixated on a tax cut
Imagine if Luxon was the US President post pearl harbour. I will ask congress to declare war on Japan once both sides declare war.
The Epsom seat deal where ACT got a free pass from National for years. I started thinking, what benefit have the voters of that electorate got from the deal having Seymour as their MP over Paul Goldsmith. Goldsmith being told he cannot campaign for the ...
Yeah good idea, we can use chemtrails to do it.
the term is not a particularly flattering one, maybe a 'kept man' or political gigolo might be another terminology.
strange as the following may be I find myself feeling the need to defend David Seymour. It seems a handful of years ago Peters called Seymour a cuckold, apparently because of the deal National made to keep ACT afloat in the Epsom electorate. My ...
Been a bit of a c lux ter fk for the coalition of chaos this past week. Winston being petulant and making luxon look week. Widespread condemnation of the tobacco law changes. Willis as much as admitting she cannot fund her tax cuts. Protests on the street ...
I didn't have a real issue with the generational ban and I am a smoker. Once the law was passed Seems silly to repeal it on the basis of choice, giving people the choice whether they want to smoke or not. Is is a sensible thing to give people to take up a ...
Rock Solid on her costings before the election Whilst almost everyone else was calling the costings fanciful or BS. A classic case of make up some BS to get elected and then worry later how to pay for it. Nicola now finds herself having to pay for it and ...
if Labour find themselves in a similar position that National does, needing support partners who are not just simple to fob off, I am not upset about that. Had Labour been able to form a govt this time round I would have been very happy with them being ...
it's worth pointing out that race politics can be different from labour/capital politics. the 2 can intersect regularly, especially given that the expansion of the British and other empires was entwined with the development of capitalism. But empire ...
the new govt cabinet is pretty short on talent and intellectual heft. iy will be a big test for many of them to put things into action. the hypocrisy of act is stunning though
until a firearms registry tracks the sale of guns and makes it harder for gun dodgy gun owners to sell them on to gangs. when ACT dismantles that register the flow of guns to gangs can flow freely. Makes a mockery of all the tough on crime rhetoric we have...
nanny statism from the ACT party and wasting tax payers money on ideological policies - Seymour the Deputy Prime Money Waster. His third in control determined to make it easier for gangs to get guns, more armed hold ups and drive by shootings. The police ...
are you meaning a dump of information on a friday, or, the government looks like it is a dump, or, looks the results of someone taking a dump on friday?
It's telling that one of this Governments greatest assets is an almost 80 year old with a dubious history of delivering stable government. Seymour must be spitting that he will be Deputy PM second, will there be a government for his to be deputy in by then...
they are committed to climate change. their policies are committed to more greenhouse gases being released than under the track of the previous government, more climate warming, more unstable weather and a resultant higher cost. Absolutely committed to ...
you must have had really really really really really really low expectations then Jack.
Have we seen a staler less talented cabinet in am NZ govt in modern times? Reading through it I was stunned by the lack of talent and the number of journeymen politicians. As for "policies" if you can call them that just a few that I would mention A return...
