Why is this not all over the newspapers yet? Has it been given to the news agencies yet?
What does this have to do with the argument in the original post? What's the hypocrisy you're trying to show? I'm baffled.

Well you're wrong. Williams took it directly to the Herald, the paper said so at the time.
As I recall it was pushed to a variety of media including the herald, the standard and various others. It didn't pan out and Williams got a media hiding over it. It was newsworthy enough to run - they were serious allegations of huge consequence. None of ...
Fool, read my comment above. You're missing the point entirely.
I think Lukas misses the point entirely. This debate isn't about whether everything a blog has ever published is verifiable, it's about whether it's newsworthy and whether any news organisations that do pick it up has done any verification themselves. The ...
No, I'd say being an Objectivist fruitloop makes you a "fringe rightie".
As I understand it the National Party cocktail taper never claimed to be anyone other than himself. He walked straight in and introduced himself, if they assumed he was a Young Nat that's their own fault. He did what our journalists failed to do and ...
The guy strikes me as an idiot. If you give him the dole for his misinformed and frankly annoying "political busking" then I want a benefit to sit around reading improving books in cafes and striking up conversations with strangers to tell them what I've ...
Ah, but is it National's? That'll be what decides the fate of this bill.
No, just pay them what they're worth. That's what they're asking for, not tax cuts.
How about you stop being smarmy wanker for once in your life and read what Marty's actually written.
Price Waterhouse Coopers says they're 20% underfunded for what they are required to do. That's an independent analysis. They're already working well under budget and cutting corners all over the place. Cutting that budget by 10-15% would be devastating.
Rex, you do understand that a freeze for five years means a major cut in real terms, right? For an organisation already operating 20% under budget that would be a serious blow.
Looks to me like the children would be having the time of their life. the person who put this one up needs to quit whinging and find something more worthwhile in life
"Government department do not have an incentive to maximise profit, without that incentive efficiency is lost. People don't work as hard, bosses tolerate more etc etc. The loss in efficiency is almost always greater than the profit margin of a private ...
Can somebody please kindly explain to me, why it would be better for the people of New Zealand if our assets were owned by foreign companies who duly extract their profits and take them overseas, than for all those lovely assets be owned by New Zealand ...
Yeah, I'm saying I understand the Herald misquoted him. If you read the Herald's follow-up piece with Phil Goff it's made clear that the "personal concerns" were around the perception of the speech as an attempt to do a Brash. That's not inconsistent with ...
Selective quoting from the Herald, wouldn't be the first time. You can have some personal concerns about aspects of a speech (for example Goff's choice of language) while still supporting the issues raised in it. Nuance eh? Not a strong point on the right.
I doubt Goff's in a position to smack anyone's hand right now, especially not the party president and head of the party's largest affiliate. From what I hear the Herald's been a bit naughty and misquoted Little to fit the story they wanted.
Sounds like the Herald story was a bit of selective quoting: http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO0912/S00083.htm
Good comments Lynn. This is a thoroughly misinformed post from No Right Turn. Goff is just saying that the old way isn't working and that Labour's going to look at alternatives, it's about opening up a debate, not hiding policy from the public. For god's ...
I think all types are welcome to attend these things, but you need to understand that you're at an event organised by and for lefties. No one's going to stop you attending but you need to respect the purpose of the meeting.
I really like Sue Bradford and wanted to vote her into Parliament, but I can't vote for her in my electorate, nor can I vote for any electable Green candidate. What I can do is vote Labour for my electorate MP and give my list vote to the Greens in the ...
Main union on site is the Bridgestone Rubber Workers Union, about 80% of the members.Engineers would just have the maintenance guys I'd imagine. Get your facts straight mike.
Oh dear, Farrar doesn't seem to have noticed this was a parody of the Kiwibank ad. http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2009/07/political_advertisement.html But then he is a life member of the Young Nats. Might explain a bit, come to think of it.
I don't think anyone is saying this is a circuit breaker, it's just a bloody youtube video after all. What it shows is that Labour are finally starting to get their shit together with a coherent critique of the Government's policy and a pointer towards an ...
Chris Diack, aren't you the guy who tried to steal the Labour Party's house? Speaking of unethical behaviour, ask Roger about that Red Seal rort he was into next time you talk to him.
But it didn't, so it wasn't.
