Appalled, I tell you, appalled. Seymour is a dangerous person seeking to sacrifice NZ polity on an alter of a stuffed ideology and hero worship of Ruth Richardson His lost decades bemoan the fact that there is still public education, a public health system...
If it was a conspiracy then the mistake would not have been reported. And perhaps just as relevant, who benefit from the mistake? 100 or 200 votes in this one electorate tally made no impact on the result.
Will Top be the equivalent of the Teal candidates in Australia?
Love it. Other trigger words for me include "theory" and "opinion. " (To which my wife said, "why stop there?)
Of the MP's the one who I see as being more nakedly ambitious for power is Ricardo March. I think that he sees himself as the male coleader in waiting.
My thoughts are that much of the capability of GP is lost in a fog of competing identity politics agendas. It appears that environmental issues and social justice issues are either replaced or lensed through identity politics. I'm not saying that identity ...
Half the states with 27% of the USA's population control the senate. Disproportionate influence of some is built into its political system.
Centralists?? In the USA the Overton Window has moved so far to the right that Labour would be regarded as communists and National would nicely fit into the middle-left of the Democrats.
You've got a really strange definition of the government if you think that the DHB's are not part of the government. And it was always going to implemented by the Dhb's. Who was going to do the rollout? NZ Post?
Not much of a prediction. Senior schools close for year in 4 weeks.
You realise that if vaccination rates were at 100% then there is no need for certificates.
For a course I was taking (in Australia) the then Collins Class Submarine replacement programme was studied in terms of project risks. Among the conclusions our group arrived at was that the project scope, which limited the solution set to diesel/electric ...
I hate to burst your bubble, but the exact reason I didn't travel to Australia when the bubble was open was that I foresaw that the travel options could close due to the presence of covid 19 infections. So was it reasonably foreseeable? Yes.
There is an entire supply chain that Australia needs to build. Nuclear enrichment facilities for reactor fuel. Reactor servicing facilities. Spent reactor fuel handling and processing facilities.
Nuclear powered submarines for Australia. Biden says they will be conventionally armed. But if you look at the economics the only effective payload for a missile on a nuclear powered sub is nuclear. Biden had to say conventionally armed missiles as the ...
I think you are misunderstanding physics: the square rule law of aerodynamics is cheated here. Engine rev efficiency range just means that you select a gear to operate in the range and has nothing to do with the speed of the car. Aerodynamics on cars don't...
The easiest way to reduce NZ car and truck CO2 emissions is to drop the speed limit to 80km/h. Side effects can include: Reduced incidence and severity of traffic accidents and injuries and mortalities. Increased freight demand for rail and costal shipping...
Is that the Mark Mitchell who was a "security contractor" in Iraq?
.... And a sharpie.
Only those on the ginger nut line.
Who gets vaccinated first? I suggest that with Covide 19 being stopped at the border, the first people to be vaccinated should be the airline staff, customs and immigration staff and staff at the quarantine sites. Ideally the first vaccinations should go ...
My question is more focused on how to work together in parliament rather than at elections.
I presume that Green's will be oferred a role outside of cabinet. But what sort of relationship should the Maori and Green parties create? Being a single MP makes it hard to muster resources effectively. Is there an opportunity for the two parties to work ...
With advance voting cranking along at a ferocious rate this poll may actually reflect something close to the vote count. 66% of people may actually be responding to the survey as exit poll govern that advanced voting is reported as being at 2/3s of last ...
My approach to electioneering has been to argue with normal National voters that it's a Labour government is almost guaranteed. So they should vote Labour to moderate the Green impact. And then, argue with normal Labour voters that they should vote Green ...
Can we describe this automatic editing of articles on the mobile version as a feature? It seems to happen often.
Well, Collins and Brownlee have displayed an degree of ineptitude that will have National caucus members shuffling backwards when it comes to answering the question "who did you vote for to be the leader?" National's polling looks light of 35% minimum that...
Crushed Collins sounds like it should be a cocktail. Something bloody with a sour after taste that leaves you wondering why this reminds you of an unpleasant experience you had decades ago: one you hoped never to have to experience again.
Crushed Collins sounds like it should be a cocktail. Something bloody with a sour after taste that leaves you wondering why this reminds you of an unpleasant experience you had decades ago: one you hoped never to have to experience again.
At what point do nicknames change? Are we at the point when the Crusher becomes the Crushed?
Shaft!
