I can't see how an MHA would be any different. You can have a centralised organisation providing funding and telling the iwi health providers what to do, or you can have targeted funding from the Ministry of Health with the Ministry telling the iwi health ...
It was my understanding of the argument being raised, that iwi understand their local needs more than a central organisation does. Admittedly that might just be fighting over territory, but I can see that there are benefits to both models, but some people ...
Yeah, I know, I said I had no firm opinion. I was raising the fact that there were other opinions worthy of entertaining. It does not require I personally hold to either. The rest seems entirely projection - I am, in fact interested, particularly as I find...
Hmmmmm seems quite cosy to me https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1546162915107037185?s=20
Ah, but it was followed by this little outburst of mutual admiration
https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1546141988139016194?s=20 This tweet provoked rather a lot of consternation on those grounds. Some might say that when one is a very public figure, one should take the time to know who one is platforming.
Up to a point. As a former metropolitan museum employee you will no doubt be aware of the constant internal dialogue around public space and serving stakeholders. I'm not really a fan of museums making hard and fast decisions around who is and isn't a ...
It's very much her fault if she's going to align herself with people like Matt Walsh and Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshall, liking their posts, promoting their work.
I am led to believe by the iwi grapevine that there is some debate as to whether Māori would really be better served by a centralised organisation in Wellington. I'm not convinced either way, but there is certainly something to be said for having Māori ...
You realise this is right up there with saying Pasifika kids can't play sports with white kids because they're bigger, don't you?
My personal feeling is that while J K Rowling has become quite loathsome with her doubling down on being all chummy with outright fascists on social media, banning a harmless exhibition is the worst kind of superficial virtue signaling.
Ow, my neck
Actually I do agree that there is a legitimate clash of rights. The difference is I don't see a particularly good outcome in "solving" it by using state power and threats to funding in order to marginalise and excluding an entire class of people.
. 1. That didn’t stop L/G from making an equivalent judgement, but you happened to agree with it First of all, you're assuming I had an opinion in the first place, and second of all, when did Labour threaten to cut off contestable funding for groups ...
I am quite familiar with the history of gender/sex politics, thanks, and you are not its pope. You're welcome to think for yourself. That's absolutely swell and grand. I just find it interesting how quickly you rush to embrace the authoritarian right ...
Firstly, that doesn't negate the wrongness of the government setting itself up as moral arbiter of an issue like this. Second, they have a democratic right to protest. Third, Spiked! is so ideologically suspect I wouldn't touch it with lead gloves.
So why not let individual sports organisations make those decisions? How is this anything the government should be involving itself in? Pro-gender lefties Honestly, it's breathtaking how your language switches straight to right wing idioms when your ...
You can be as condescending about them as you like, but they were sufficiently organised to forcefully enter and violently occupy the Capitol, requiring the evacuation of elected representatives and disrupting the processes of government for a day.
Given that's like suggesting you plagiarised King Cnut, I think not.
Given I am neither a misogynist nor anti-Māori, I shall pass
I simply cannot fathom why so many people on this site are still so attached to the bloviating rants of people like Bomber and Trotter - if they're the one true left, count me out.
I would like a world where unicorns prance in fields of candyfloss, but I can't see it happening somehow.
Pretty sure that was still capitalism, vis a vis Marx
Pretty sure the fact National was able to put together a coalition has very little to do with Labour not being left-wing enough.
Are these 'police' in the room with us now?
First of all, of course we're not going to stop a military attack from superpower, but part of the price for having friends who can do that is invest and modernize to be of credible support to those friends, particularly where we have joint interests in ...
All that's going to do is make them even more likely to be open to bribery and corruption.
Surely that's obvious - the drafts aren't legal and the one sent back to England is. And you're wrong about international law, Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties between States and International Organizations or between International Organizations ...
Well, no, not entirely. Nation are doing quite a lot more that they didn't campaign on, largely because it was the price of getting NZF on board and keeping ACT happy despite NZF being on board.
I mean, let's face it. Most of the people commenting, if put in charge of Labour, would have even less chance than Hipkins of winning an election because they can't see beyond the political landscape of 1999-2016.
"The Man" does most of the voting.
