[deleted] [lprent: troll banned earlier. ]
Student. Political Researcher. Political Policy Advisor. President of the International Union of Socialist Youth. Politician. In other words, just another trougher. No real world experience. A perfect Labour Party deputy.
Rejoice...the entire Labour Party popularity in the latest RM is 26%. I wonder why no-one's written a blog here about that? [lprent: Banned until after one month after the election. And from now on you will be banned under any name for violating the policy...
I value the words of those actually impacted (employers) than those with a vested interest in making a story to sell media.
Little is already proving to be very adept at 'bending' the truth.
I was referring to John Campbell...as per the post I was responding to. Keep up.
About what? Certainly not about drug use being a problem. English is simply repeating what he is being told by employers. And they'll know far more than you will.
See Inspider's comment above. I'd suggest the head of the country's largest contract labour firm would know more that a failed journalist.
The PM's responsibility is to run the country. Sometimes that means saying things you won't agree with. But then with your leader at around 7% in the polls, he must be saying things virtually no-one agrees with!
Not at all. It simply reflects what he has been told. I hear similar remarks from employers often. Having some healthy competition in the labour market for young kiwi's is a good thing, and should help them in the long run.
"Drug testing of beneficiaries is turning up an extremely low number of results showing drug use" What does that have to do with Bill English's comments? Not all of the people applying for jobs will be beneficiaries. Some may already have jobs. Some may be...
You say 'rubbish', and then proceed to explain that increasing prices are the result of Aucklanders leaving. Do you not see the fallacy in your comment? And your comments about immigration are ill informed and xenophobic. A significant portion of the ...
You continue to get this so wrong. "The NZ economy lacks diversity and opportunities for productive investment leading people to over-invest in housing." Rubbish. The NZ economy is booming across a range of sectors, and investment is flowing into those ...
I heard Little say that and nearly choked with laughter. He really has no idea.
Fair comments. Oh, and Ardern is no Clark, politically or intellectually.
In other words...she lied?
Hi Pete I live in Mt Albert and JAG actually called at my house. We had a very civilised conversation, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how well informed she was about a range of issues. I was also phoned at night by a delightful older gent ...
"Perhaps reading the electionresults archive pages would help." I did. Perhaps citing a lower turnout than 29.9% would make you look like less of a tosser.
It's actually just under 30%. LPrent wouldn't know his arse from his elbow.
You obviously didn't detect the sarcasm in Blokes comment.
My understanding is that this was the lowest voter turnout ever in a byelection. I live in Mt Albert, and I can tell you the winner was apathy.
That you are naieve is self evident. That you can't realise is just plain sad.
"Well what does ‘simply because of skin colour’ mean?" Are you serious? Look, read the posts and get off your ignorant band wagon.
I have a considerable appreciation of the value of culture. But I do not deny reality. The data on Maori offending, and on the damage done to children by the current law, is incontrovertible.
"do you base your ideas about people on their skin pigmentation?" No, and if you took the discussion even remotely seriously you wouldn't need to ask that question.
"None of what you said there is true groundhog" I wish that were the case, but sadly it is not.
"skin colour is not an indicator of ethnicity except for racists" Read the comment I was responding to. And then educate yourself.
"...not that it be given primacy over any of the other requirements." You clearly don't understand the way the system works. The system is heavily slanted towards a politically correct view of interpreting the law. Social workers are indoctrinated about ...
As I thought. Your naivete is staggering.
"You have expressed your racist opinion that ethnicity is the determining factor ad nauseam." Where did I say it was a 'determining factor'? You are making a common mistake of the left...barking at cars. Citing incontrovertible facts is not racism.
"From my perspective, we have a massive Pākehā racist problem in New Zealand." Statistically we have a massive problem of child abuse among Maori families. You can frame this how you like, but until you open your eyes and own that fact, there will be no ...
