You do know Tūpuna Maunga Authority's Chairman is a lawyer and property developer who a) represented the mining company fighting local iwi who were trying to protect the environment in the Taranaki iron sands case; b) represented the marina developers who ...
Apart from the fact grafitti is not our style - do you really think Honour the Maunga would be stupid enough to do grafitti right by what was our occupation site at the time? Puh-lese! Interestingly, police and grafitti removal contractors told us a number...
Except the planting plans for Ōwairaka show the 13,000 natives are mostly low growing species such as grasses, flaxes and shrubs. The new plantings you see around the archery field and domain gates represent nearly half the intended amount. There is no ...
Forest & Bird supports Tūpuna Maunga Authority destroying some 2500 trees across the maunga. So does the Tree Council. Who would have thought!
Hi Weka. Our group supports succession to fully native vegetation on the maunga, but question the environmentally destructive way the Authority plans to do it. Also, planting plans show the natives are going in different places to where most of the exotics...
You are wrong Jo90. Honour the Maunga is a grassroots community group that has no affiliation with any organization. Our mission is to save 345 healthy mature trees from destruction on Owairaka Mt Albert. In doing so we hope to help around 2500 from being ...
Enjoyed reading this discussion, this is an area I have been interested in for ages. If anyone is interested, Google Milk Without a Moo and my Rural Leaders report on the impacts this new technology could have on NZ dairy is there. In summary, I’m a dairy ...
I can't understand why the evictions are not challengeable. Are state houses not covered by the Tenancy Tribunal?
Just another version of the same. I agree with TopHat. Also, there's really nothing to laugh about, BrExit is a serious problem and who knows what will happen in the future..
Looking up things on Wikipedia does not constitute 'qualifications.'
We are absolutely sure that Rachel is not the hater, but John Key is. Like you, he is a hater of women, the poor, the vulnerable. For the record, who interviews him on RNZ?
My guy gets it from women and he hates it - e.g. touching him like what has happened on Breakfast, TV One, this am. Women need to get it that guys don't always like it either.
I've raised this elsewhere, but I'll put it here too. It's a serious question. What would it take for the Law Society to investigate and/or disbar Cactus Cate? I don't think she should be practising, especially if she was paid to interfere with a material ...
Yeah. This perspective always cracks me up. I guess it's the difference in having protested and stood for something, and not. It's like living in a fantasy land where all social changes came from asking really nicely for something. It's a position where ...
Exactly! And why did they go? What was the point in taking them? Do any of you remember when Nelson Mandela called Jim Bolger his "Australian friend"? Given Nelson Mandela didn't forget much and people always commented on Mandela's ability to recall a name...
Why was it an off topic rant? It seemed on point to me. I'd like to know too. Where did you stand on the Tour? Or were you too young to have an opinion? If so, what's your opinion now on it? Do you support the anti-apartheid protestors' stance and if so, ...
What do you mean? But go ahead: it's about all 'you' got.
Do Hone's achievements make you feel insignificant? (Actually, they should).
Posts the person who writes in "dick swinging" terms ... What's the matter? Did the credential thing hurt your ego? Your outdated and/or Christian influenced sources? Or is it the fact that I think you're an inversion? I know what the real problem is: you ...
Wow. So the right-wing poster, who prefers Christian accounts of traditional Maori society re: cannibalism, teaches into indigenous courses with a cultural nationalist perspective, functions from a good Maori/bad Maori (sorry Maoris), makes a claim to ...
Thank you. My work here is done. You've pretty much revealed yourself as the irrational human being you are, trying to pose as 'normal'. (Ironically, the loose interpretation of Maori). I don't know who 'your' people are because they certainly don't ...
Once again: what does Hone's actions have to do with you? You're not part of his constituency, so why are you so obsessed with him? Are you functioning from the good Maori/bad Maori dichotomy? (Apologies: 'Maoris'). Do you want to be a good Maori? Like Te ...
Careful: your John Key pettiness is showing. Symbol - reason, but you stick to your Christian/1967 versions and your oral traditions (even though you wrote Maori as "Maoris". I bet you pronounce it Marrrrrrries as well or do you do the TV One version of "...
They did. There was always a reason. There's little worse than an inversion. Read wider than Paul Moon and 1967 DM Stafford. I've given you a couple of sources. Go forth and read.
Yet, as already stated, in Hone's absence, his vote is cast by the Greens. As, once again, written earlier: Hone's constituency has nothing to do with you. Actually, Hone has nothing to do with you.
A dick swinging contest? I guess you share John Key's vision of New Zealand as excluding women. And why would you deliver an occasional lecture in indigenous cultural practices? I don't think you understand them very well and you don't have a wide variety ...
I'm Maori too. I have a PhD in Indigenous Studies and Sociology. I actually lectured on components of traditional Maori society. Paul Moon is a nice enough bloke, but not many of us indigenous scholars put much stock in a Christian account of Maori ...
Please - tell me how I'm culturally and relativistically wrong? This should be good. Please outlay your credentials and sources to support your statement.
In Hone's absence, his vote is cast by the Greens. Tell me, what is better for a lone MP to do: sit in parliament or be with his constituents? And as you aren't one of Hone's constituents, what concern is it of yours? Hone is voted in by people that you ...
That isn't true. The Washington Post seemed to know who Hone was: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/new-zealand-lawmaker-going-solo-to-mandela-service/2013/12/09/bbd09972-6135-11e3-a7b4-4a75ebc432ab_story.html The rest of the US media did not. In ...
About $450 a week, depends on her rent and the average housing cost in her reigion.. So about $100 in her hand after rent and power, presuming she didn't have a phone, the internet... I suspect if she could afford those things she'd be here telling you to ...
