Recently I am aware of one person whose stay was extended by a further 14 days because she did not want to do the test because of the threat of nose bleeds. She was quite willing to do the test - just through another means than having something pushed up ...
In my view there is a great deal of centrist looking stuff to be done that if intelligently negotiated, could effectively address the urgent issue of gross inequality that is gnawing at the foundations of our small nation. Considering that centrism is ...
Every Labour Party in government has made strong moves to show that the whole country can change for good. Including the first, the second, the third, the fourth and the fifth. WTF? The fourth Labour government was the government that started the slide ...
I consider that allowing the immoral actions of investors/speculators to be totalitarian.
Passive Heating: By combining good design with effective insulation, you can collect and store the sun's energy to provide your home with warmth day and night, throughout most of the year. An interesting point is that if sunlight is striking something then...
Zero Energy House:
This seems like the kiwifruit industry again, exporting what gives our country differentiation in our product and ultimately cutting ourselves out of markets because of the desire for short term gain. Selling the family jewels etc. It doesn't really ...
That does seem to be what they've stated - on many occasions IIRC.
Which bit?
But going on grid would be more beneficial to society especially if it was well planned and maintained. In other words, going back to a state monopoly that includes the solar panels on private rooves is the only viable option because it would then remove ...
Its not an entirely free-market as the its owned by profiteering schmucks and they pretty much have veto power over it. Considering that having solar power from private residential premises would cut their profits then they do everything they can to ...
It's almost beyond depressing the disincentives toward solar and local generation in New Zealand. Depressing but not surprising. People generating their own power would cut the profits of the shareholders. Yet another proof that the profit motive brings ...
Comment starts in the name field and people forget and simply start typing. Once they realise then they switch to the comment field but often forget to fix the name field. Would probably be best to have it start in the comment field if the plugin supports ...
The electricity market should be competitive and deliver affordable, clean electricity And that's the Greens not understanding economics. Of course, its what everyone else believes as well despite all the evidence showing competition and the profit motive...
Yep. Start off with installing on state housing and then on to those most in need. If those most in need are renting then buy the bloody house. But can you imagine the complaints from the new private owners of our power grid as their profits go down?
And then the next government keeps it ticking over again... And then the one after that as well. As we've already seen. Rio Tinto said that they would be closing down the smelter over the next year which is more than long enough.
Fucken idiots keep giving Rio Tinto everything that they demand. Really, it would be better for NZ just to let the smelter close and be done with it rather than pushing more subsidies into a failed business.
And the fact still remains that it was possible to purchase such a phone new in 2017. Yep. Did the same thing myself when I bought my last phone. Was rather pissed when I realised that my brand new phone was four years old but that doesn't make any ...
People using the wrong data to whinge about things is just irritating and is most definitely not something reasonable.
Fact is that a phone that is only 4 years old will not run the NZ Tracer App. Purchase date is not the same as release date and its the release date that's important. An Android phone released four years ago would have been running Android 7.0 and quite ...
The real point is that a government with its own fiat currency like NZ can never be bankrupt - no matter how much deficit it has.
...make their app compatible with phones that use operating systems older than last years? Android 6 is 5 years old and iOS 11 is three years old. IIRC, Android Studio defaults to Android 6 compatibility.
Labour says that climate change must be tackled urgently and effectively, by way of a low-carbon economy in New Zealand and a comprehensive international climate change treaty. But what does that actually mean? What actions are Labour going to do to ...
The tide must start to go out by then. Not necessarily. If they work hard and actually improve the economy and people's well-being then they have a chance to increase the Labour Vote. If they work well with the Greens then they could also increase the ...
If Labour can deliver those provincial centers a change to their lives for the better, They can - if they realise that the government is not fiscally constrained. Which, unfortunately, is unlikely. For JA it's how do they tangibly deliver this term and ...
Who said I was being dismissive of it? Being able to see its failings is the first step to changing it. National, and others, refuse to see its failings and that's why they're never keen to change it and will actively try to prevent those needed changes. ...
The exact opposite is true, when conservatives are on board with a change you know it is secure. Ah, no. Sure, when conservatives back a change then its less likely to be changed afterwards but that doesn't mean that the conservatives are going start a ...
but the meme has to be cultivated before the facts come in. Yep, can't let the facts get in the way of what National wants.
Yep. Some National voters really do belong to National. That's how National gets to tell their Epsom voters to vote ACT and have it work.
Ah, she's still parroting National's lie that the biggest party needs to be in government.
There is a rule in politics that says deep radical change ultimately comes from your centre right/conservative party, because the hard core conservatives who might otherwise block change …. have nowhere else to go. (As an example it was a National govt ...
