Yes Ingrid Hipkins was useless as usual on RNZ Morning Report today when talking to Chris Bishop, one of the Gang of Three. She failed to pursue the anti democratic nature of the Fast Track Bill, or the corruption angle where some people on The List are ...
Thank you Weka.
Tarras International Airport. Labour/Greens/TPM should make it plain that projects consented under the FTP may have their consents cancelled if the government changes.
Agreed Phillip....but it is also a war on the environment and climate change measures. As with the poor, the government has proposed so many terrible policies that are anti-environment (Brown's $9 billion Wellington car tunnel is the latest and perhaps the...
Almost all of those "Points of Order" articles (and all of those from Harmon) seem to support right-leaning policies. It's a bit odd that The Standard promotes them-is there some money involved or is TS simply being open-minded?
Cancelling current affairs/political shows such as Sunday is a travesty. In Australia the government funds the ABC to the tune of over A$1 billion each year (NZ$1.1 billion). This includes ABC Radio. https://about.abc.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/...
Joe-IMHO very few of the things this government is doing are vote winners. Standardistas need to compile a list of these stupid/crazy/crap policies to roll out at the next election and say "do you really want to continue with this lot in charge?"
That sound more logical Sub....who needs the money if you get the votes? And Biden's campaign is already much better funded than Trumps and the polls are now neck and neck where previously Trump was ahead.
Whoopee....it's only taken 6 months and 33k deaths...but then they are only Palestinian women and kids.
Yep all good...Biden has been utterly useless....while the American's back Israel and keep sending arms and money nothing will happen.
If the TU is so supportive of tax cuts now it must consider that Robertson did an excellent job in controlling government spending.
"Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. Even though CO2 has a longer-lasting effect, methane sets the pace for warming in the near term." "...
Yep...just 5 months too late.
No Right Turn has it right on methane emissions. More Luxon lies. https://norightturn.blogspot.com/2024/04/climate-change-bad-faith-from-national.html Rod Carr was interesting on this issue on Morning Report just now. Listen here. https://www.rnz.co.nz/...
I don't think people will have forgotten the 352 school building projects being put on hold by this government. For instance this one in Alexandra. https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/central-otago/%E2%80%98devastated%E2%80%99-after-build-paused "Devastated." ...
Effective for the top 5% Crickle, and negative for the rest of us. Except even the top 5% will be affected as the planet burns. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/06/simply-mind-boggling-world-record-temperature-jump-in-antarctic-raises-fears...
And here is another senior Conservative calling for a ceasefire and a halt to UK weapon sales. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/05/israel-gaza-aid-tipping-point-senior-tory-alicia-kearns "She rounded on fellow Conservatives who seek to have a ...
Corbyn will have a wry smile at that.
Here is a turn up for the book-a Conservative MP in the UK with genuine principles. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/04/conservatives-investigating-former-mp-alan-duncan-pro-israel-extremists-gaza I was particularly impressed with this: "...
To take just 3 of the 36 points: "Respond to the independent review of Kāinga Ora’s financial situation, procurement, and asset management." This looks like a sell off of state houses to pay for tax cuts per Key/English. "Take decisions on the removal of ...
...plus the church that aided and abetted Franco's fascist regime in Spain and legitimised Pinochet's fascist regime in Chile: "The Junta was offended by having the Allende regime placed on equal terms. In fact, it was being legitimated by the Church. The ...

"In the climate change stuff – If Labor is smart it will have a set of policies based on the science. What it shouldn’t do, IMO, is try and score points against the Government in regards to climate change. They should let the Green Party be vocal in ...
Rates on a house are a type of Land Tax/Wealth Tax/Asset Tax aren't they? And they bear no relation at all to the income being earned by the household.
Agreed....and these days this goes for very rapidly growing Wanaka too. For instance there has been a major debate in Wanaka this week because Wanaka/the Upper Clutha now has a population of 17,000 but effectively has no hospital services at all. St John's...
Tarras airport will be fast-tracked. People I have met who live in Queenstown and the Wakatipu Basin hate the noise from Queenstown airport. It certainly wrecks watching cricket there.
Tarras airport will be fast-tracked.
Plus Parker would out-debate Luxon with ease....having said that my laundry basket would....
No they are not.
Agree entirely on this KJT....did you hear Mike Lee on Nine to Noon today at 9.10?
You sound like one of the people who say to me in Wanaka, "ah but my house is only worth $3 million if I sell it". BTW I worked as a qualified accountant for over 10 years.
