The "crushed bottom" don't vote. "Unemployed people were less likely to vote compared with employed people and those not in the labour force. In the 2011 General Election, 35.2 percent of unemployed people did not vote. This was almost double the ...
Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods: "We're going to see record high oil demand this year." doesn't fit with "Cars will not run on petrol and diesel in the very near future" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_nRxPsRaTg
Any evidence that actions based on logic confer a survival advantage ?
The Maoris started off at river mouth moa hunter camps and then harvested the seashore, rivers and forests for food, stone, wood and fibre. It's the late C19 romantic tourist department stuff that your talking about with the mountains and scenery, not the ...
Agree with para 3, but these qualities might be appealing if you went through school unprepared in the same class as the prepared and felt shit because of it, clung to easily memorised lines to numb the confusion and learned that charm and cunning can ...
Sure but people confused and disheartened by Ardern's cleverness and grip on the data will, like me find comfort in a seemingly well meaning guy getting interviewed and trying to do his best against point scoring smartypants interviewers. Simple to ...
Maori are indigenous they got here first and like other indigenous peoples have rights recognised by UN and endorsed by NZ under the Key government.
Middlemore Hospital ED is overloaded and PREVENTABLE METABOLIC DISEASES are sure to be part of the cause. Successive National and Labour led governments have failed to deal with this by regulating to make healthy food options cheaper, taxing unhealthy food...
A cat's name a dress design and Listener7 and hate speech and wokedom and inequality and left right left right left and human rights and extremism and hate speech and the treaty and sovereignty and the GPs are overloaded and GDP fell but does it count ...
"Tonight on 3 News it was said the home bowel screening programme will be brought down to start at 50 years old because of the increase in bowel cancer. The catch? It's not for you whitey…but only for Maori and Polynesians." Makes sense to me because (my ...
Seabirds import fertiliser to some forests. "Seabird colonies in New Zealand represent the rich diversity of coastal and pelagic seabirds, and are hotspots of intense nutrient and trace element cycling that provide examples of natural nutrient enrichment ...

"the gang population is exploding" because of growing demand for meth. Fucked if I now why is it a coping mechanism like booze or to stay awake longer or some kind of sexual performance thing or the stress of modern life maybe. The gangs have a crucial ...
The budget, coastal shipping announcement and news items on the PM's USA visit and the new Albanese government have lifted my heart - even feeling embarrassed and sorry for Luxon - wtf does he even mean with "lost formation" why not just say "the Ardern ...
We were discussing how to save grey water this evening after reading the market garden article. That would be a good source of water for the garden. I'm wondering about hand pumping it from the drain rather than fitting new plumbing, but probably won't ...
Not my experience so far and I've been doing it for years. No insecticides, if white butterfly caterpillars appear you can glean them, aphids wipe off with your fingers and snails discover where they spend the day and throw them well away from your ...
Cool we too, a kitchen bin a week into slow composting and a month or so ago into the apare so the big one can finish maturing and be spread. I find it good as a soil loosener but strangely infertile - maybe the nitrates get used up by bugs doing the ...
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/business/467381/drought-in-auckland-s-rural-south-pushing-up-food-prices-growers-say I have a large tank to collect rainwater installed in the mid 90s drought and use it to water vege patches in an Auckland suburban backyard. You...
I was studying in Dunedin in the 1960s and me and my friends did not have cars, we got about on foot and I don't remember using a bus either, but probably did. We walked to lectures and to pubs and to Joe Tui's for fish and chips all hours and to parties ...
Turn parks, reserves and berms into food forests and community gardens.
They could I guess update the guidelines, but looks like that would need Cabinet say so. Weird how Cabinet hasn't given health worker pay guidelines separate from the rest to acknowledge the obvious extra effort required of them in the Covid pandemic. ...
It appears the pay restraint guidelines to June 21 still apply. "On 28 April 2020 the Public Service Commissioner issued guidance on the application of pay restraint through to June 2021 following a Cabinet decision that visible pay restraint in the public...
Contempt maybe, but it looks like the soldiers previously took an oath to comply with orders. "I, (surname, name, patronymic), solemnly swear allegiance to my Fatherland - the Russian Federation. I swear sacred to observe the Constitution of the Russian ...
Religion is a factor too and could be a major, given Manasseh's piety. "His Excellency Li Ming, applauded acknowledged Prime Minister Sogavare as the initiator of the relationship between our Churches and Churches in China." https://www.solomonstarnews.com...
Hypothetical landlord : That's what I pay a property manager to do - I'm not the actual person effectively evicting the family and I don't really know their circumstances so can not really answer your question. Stop trying to pull my heartstrings - haven't...
Hey all you residential property landlords out there how can you justify raising rents such that your tenants with children to care for can no longer afford to pay it and so have to leave their home in your property and become homeless with all the bad ...
That the ADHB National Women's Health "provides high-quality health services for women" shows the ADHB acknowledges women among it's clientele. https://www.nationalwomenshealth.adhb.govt.nz
No mention of Putin's religious mission. "Since he became President, Putin has cast himself as the true defender of Christians throughout the world, the leader of the Third Rome. His relentless bombing of ISIS, for example, was cast as the defence of the ...
The Putin regime and the Russian Orthodox Church are significant supporters of a Russia beyond the Russian Federation. This recently from Patriarch Kiril. "Today we lift up a special prayer for His Beatitude Onuphry, for our Church and for our devout ...
