The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
Another day, more inane questions in the house from the opposition. Apparently the PM is “dancing on a pin head” because there are strikes, lots of strikes all caused by the govt this year. Nothing to do of course with nine years of National govt growing a boil full of social and industrial pus that this govt has lanced.
But hey, hasn’t Tony Ryall turned out to be such a great guy since “leaving politics”.
I think you are understating how much crap the govt are going to feel over this Air NZ stuff.
Warranted or not, it will hit Labour.
People are frantically trying to rebook now even if it probably won’t happen
Agree there will be those throwing crap, especially from the 38% club.
John Key is on Air New Zealand’s board of directors, why doesn’t he pull rank and sort it out. Show some guts John.
Lol
And the union donates too and picks the current govt’s leader, who owns over 50% of the company.
No surprised Key’s arrival has seen a decline in workplace relationships.
That’s right, there were no strikes at Air NZ when the great Ken Douglas was on the board.
The pressure put on unionised engineers is probably a John Key orchestrated strategy. That’s what board directors do isn’t it – strategy?
LOL

who is the concerned geezer with the t-shirt? should we know him?
Was wondering the same.
Whoever it is would do well to take off the pajama top he’s wearing and wear the T-shirt instead.
😆
The next national PM in his dreams.
Two pieces of prose caught my attention of late.
Geoff Murphy recently deceased film director of many iconic kiwi films. As quoted by Ian Mune. “The only certainty in life is DOUBT…..I think.
Linda Hellanin on radio live was trying to encourage a discussion on what makes men cry. This txt was sent. “When I heard that you, Sainso and Mitch Harris were made redundant, I felt sad. Then I learnt that Garner and Ryan Bridge were staying on, I cried”.
So now the ockies are trying to deport aboriginal people. Real peaches.
To Africa?

I’m picking May will win. The Stories aren’t keen on her, but nor they are of Trump in tails and the poor man’s poor man’s Churchill.
Brexit will be pushed out a year to give everyone breathing space.
Pleased to see Air NZ and the Engineers and Cleaners have come to an agreement and the Union will vote. Well done. The costs of winning began to look grim for Air NZ… especially when it was reported they wanted to cut existing conditions, and costs to reimburse passengers could be 10 times the cost of their fares. Sense prevailed.
Well done to the PM for publicly speaking about the issue and applying subtle pressure when needed.
Āe.
Its starting to look like it
