Most organisations have (or have had) their share of fools at the helm. Remember Labour had Andrew Little, David Cunliffe and Phil Goff. But when you move away from merit based appointments, you get this http://sandrarose.com/2018/03/diversity-fail-women-...
"Then this rule won’t bother you then." Quota's may lead to a less competent person being nominated because of their genitals. So yes, that bothers me. "Nobodie’s making appointments by quota." That's what is being proposed. "The Government has set a ...
Could be a number of reasons. Sexism. Stupidity. Not enough women putting their names forward. I don't care about the gender of people I sit alongside on management teams or boards. I only care about competence.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer caused increased divisiveness when he opposed the Nazi's. They dealt with him, didn't they.
"...your argument in favour of hate speech is an absolute, " And there it is folks. The shift from discussing an 'insult' to introducing this nebulous concept of 'hate speech'. Beautiful sleight of hand.
If Boards and Shareholders are stupid enough to not appoint on merit, that's their loss. If we are stupid enough to create a construct based on genitalia, then that is our loss.
My argument is that appointments should not be made by quota, which is by definition NOT on merit, and is patronising to those it is designed to benefit.
No, merit is constructed toward the best person for the job.
Indeed. Intolerance is an important part of a society progressing.
You wont have long to wait. Off to Vanuatu for a week tomorrow. Watch the papers.

The only threat Lauren poses to NZ is from the far left nutbars who will resort to violence to try to disrupt her appearances.
“I don’t think insulting Muslims comes under free speech, that’s an abuse of freedom of speech." Of course insulting muslims is free speech. Insulting any group is free speech. No-one has a right not to be insulted. No one. Calling for someone to be ...
'Stupid' is an apt description of such quota's. I gave my reason. Merit.
Even if you're right (and I doubt you are) appointing people on a quote just makes that worse.
No. If appointments were on merit, there could be more men appointed than women, or more women appointed than men.
"Labour’s policy moves have been far more powerful and far more effective. " What moves? Name a single thing they have actually done that has had an impact on house prices. The increase in building consents is not a policy, it is the result of the policies...
Actually I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of the left. Racism is ok when they do it. Sexism is ok when they do it.
Hongi's post fits your definition perfectly. He's blaming "little yellow skinned brothers" for creating a housing bubble. It's not only racist, it's also factually untrue.
"If you’re bored, fuck off, troll." I'm only bored with you, Stuart.
Despising all politicians is not a false equivalence. The left lies just as well as the right. The left just don't admit it.
I'm looking to sell some, not give them away!
I did. National had house prices stabilised, and consents rising. By one simple move (requiring IRD numbers) National dealt with concerns over foreign buyers (no need for racist dog whistling). The counter factual is the work was done. Labour promised the ...
Politicians lie. Of all stripes. Labour politicians have been lying from the very first sitting day of parliament when they screwed up the election of the speaker, and they have been lying ever since about a raft of issues.
It's the common disease of opposition - they are starved of media oxygen. There are simply times when they should just STFU.
Yawn.
My record here is one of exposing your lies. Remember when you tried to call in the mods?
The counter factual is very simple. National already had house prices stabilising, and the number of consents rising. Just ask Mickey https://thestandard.org.nz/apparently-labour-was-to-blame-for-the-global-financial-crisis/.
One that will not build a single additional home than would have been built anyway. A ghost ballot by a ghost government.
The 'liar' accusation is up their with the 'do you still beat your wife' question. It is generally thrown around to shut down debate, a fairly common leftist tactic.
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
