"they concentrated on allowing a massive expansion of the rural sector in dairy – at the cost of tourism (who really wants to look at filthy green and depleted waterways)." I thought tourism numbers and income was up ?
"And so it remains to be said, why don’t the corporations sue through domestic courts too?" They will unless it's a matter that relates to the TPPA.
Sigh..... patent protection remains the same as it has always been at 20 years. Data protection which is different to patent protection has been extended on biologics. I've cut and pasted the relevant information from the NZ Dr article below "The role of ...
Medicines in NZ already have a twenty year patent term, it remains unchanged under the TPPA. A more thorough discussion is attached below http://www.henryhughes.co.nz/Site/News_Articles_Case_Notes/Pharmaceuticals-Patents-Data-protection-and-the-.aspx http...
How will it wreck the efficacy of PHARMAC ? This red herring has been raised numerous times but even the most strident anti TPPA opponents have now backed away from such fact free statements.....except for you apparently.
Corporations must obey the laws of the land in which they operate - health and safety, environmental, commerce, tax etc if they do not the government of that said jurisdiction can of course take action against them.
Of course governments can sue corporations.
Yep, new year same old unsurprising lprent.
I agree Maui.
What next ? Opinion pieces from Eve on 9/11 and the illuminati perhaps ?

Have Teach NZ/Auckland Uni commented on the report ?
No problem - Yes i'm having weird problems with this site as well [lprent: There was a major upgrade on wordpress last night. Your one appears to be the system taking a dislike to your IP (or the range it is in). Don't know why. Or it could be that the ...
Hi Tracey Three all though public schools - why is that relevant ?
"Do you know which types of schools Teach first teachers go to after their 2 year apprenticeship in low decile schools is completed? I can’t find the stats for it." No, it might be available from the Teach first NZ people - although not sure if it's been ...
Stop derailing the thread. What has any of that got to do with Robertson or Teach First NZ ?
How is any money ending up in private moguls pockets from the Teach First NZ programme ?
Hi Tracey Blimp is clearly getting frustrated with the factual information I am presenting. I agree with your comments about the usual summer courses being a couple of hours a week apparently that is not the case with the Auckland Uni/Teach NZ course which...
The majority of red herrings being flopped around are by the likes of you and blimp.
..and Green Peace and all the various churches...
Yet you have nothing that shows or even suggests that Teach first NZ student teachers are performing at a lower standard than any other student teachers. On the contrary there appears to be quite a lot of support from the schools that these student ...
Fantastic gsays. I agree the calibre of so many of the young men and women coming out of our schools is quite outstanding.

"Take off the daft-tinted specs, Doc. I do not “detest the chap” at all." Don't you be daft, you've spent a large part the entire thread having a go at him and his association with the Nats. "Why replace a good system with a sub-standard one, rather than ...
"Why is that? Substantive argument proving problematic, Doc?" Oh the irony. Your position has been put quite openly OAB you detest the chap because he has donated to the Nats. Private charity has been going on in public schools since forever, still does ...
Hi says, thanks for the comment and fair enough with your point of view. Leaving aside public/private funding of the institutions you mention which is a good subject for debate. In response I'd point out once again that there is nothing to suggest that the...
Don't get upset bud lprent has called me Dr Mengele as well.
:roll: Next you'll be joining in with CV that it's all part of the big pharma conspiracy.
