Eldest son works in IT for a polytech and has been spending considerable time doing backend stuff related to the Te Pukenga merger. We discussed the announced plans of undoing the merger by Christmas. Suffice to say he is both dubious as to the possibility...
Even if the $60 was God's honest truth, the point remains, that to the average voter it came across as though Christopher Luxon has very little in common with them. That is damaging.
I don't know about corruption. That one rings about as true as the $55 million JIF causing corruption. I'd be more putting it down to laziness and ineptitude from the media on this one. It's just too hard for most of them to get their heads around, let ...
I guess cracking down on spending doesn't apply to throwing more Maori in jails.
Seems to me that the new grocery commissioner's role could be augmented to ensure that this policy would work. If the prices don't come down, fine the supermarkets 15% of their turnover for the year. Return it proportionately to each taxpayer in your end ...
Your choice of a te reo alias is interesting, given you're quoting National lines, when their increase in support appears predicated on a platform of kicking Maori back down to a position of political non-representation. [Please correct your e-mail address...
Yes, I was most impressed at how well it went. Apart from the food trucks, obviously. And interestingly, that they ran out of Panhead Supercharger at one point and had to get a whole load more from the brewery. Great to see the Hoodoo Gurus again. It was ...
Perhaps Kim should have appraised Louise of Section 18 (1) of the Bill of Rights Act 1990.
Eh? Kim said, and I quote "Meeting organiser, and founding member of the Sensible Sentencing Trust Louise Parsons" when introducing her. I suggest you go listen to the audio. 22 seconds in. https://www.rnz.co.nz/audio/player?audio_id=2018880100
Totally understandable though.
I believe they may be referring to synthetic cannabis.
I will miss it, but it will be replaced with something else soon enough. You see, the platform isn't the participants. It just enables them. I have been, like many others, flirting with Mastodon. It's quiet, but I hope it picks up.
Fascinating band were Crass. Time has helped with understanding where they were coming from - as a young teenage musician they both attracted and repelled me. Their political conviction was particularly strong. It must have really galled them how popular ...
Very true. There is no way I could be an MP if some of the things I did as a teenager could come out.
I can't help but wonder if this is how the zombie apocalyse starts...
Holidaying in Hawaii, he has been, sayeth twitter.
I just returned on Wednesday from a week in Australia. This analysis is spot on. The huge disparity in advertising spend between Labor and Liberal/National is astounding too. If I ever hear "there's a hole in your budget, dear Labor, dear Labor" again I ...
Notwithstanding that my job would be on the line, as is the entire place I work for, is it just me that thinks this would be hugely recessionary? Seems to me Act hates ethnic minorities, women, environmentalists, innovators, and anyone smarter than them.
Unlikely. The moment case numbers start going up hugely the opposition will be claiming they would have done it different and had no cases at all. The oppositions job is to oppose, and Chris Bishop takes his role extremely literally.
There is a world of difference between concern about potential interference in sensitive aircraft equipment and radical, unproven and alarmist complaints about electromagnetic interference causing cancer.
If this is doxxing I will withdraw, apologise and take my lumps for whatever you throw at me. I have only linked to publicly available information.
The Taxpayers Union seem to be up to all kinds of mischief of late. I did a whois lookup on motherofallprotests.nz on dnc.org.nz The registrant contact seems to be different to what has been reported on twitter (taxpayers union) so I dug further and looked...
Exactly James. Too early in the morning and I was thinking disjointedly. I should have said, three years ago, my house was three times the value that it was when I'd bought it 15 years previously (2003). In the last three years its value has doubled from ...
Makes mental note to double check his grammar next time, in case Lynne is up early...
mikesh is spot on here. The banks will argue that their ROI hasn't increased, although the truth is just as bad. They have allowed the cost of housing to increase more and more and more. It is, as mickeysavage has commented, a reflection of the cost of ...
Possibly true. But that would have come at a great price of many deaths. And the general population would not have accepted that in the slightest.
Must be an old picture too. That car hasn't had a WOF since 2015.
According to Victoria University, unless I have the wrong guy, Rodney Jones is a Principal of Wigram Capital Advisors, an Asian-based macro advisory firm that provides economic analysis and advice to leading global investment funds on developments in Asia....
Traitor definition, a person who betrays another, a cause, or any trust. I'm not so sure it is inappropriate.
We have no idea if these people were even able to make contact let alone get to the airport safely. I have no idea how we can get these people out safely now while still keeping our team alive.
I do believe you underestimate Jacinda Ardern.
