Yet the way it has been conveyed in the media and the govt has framed it is that this questionable excess profit will not flow down to the consumer, the suppliers are also after a portion of this. As my original comment the benefits to the consumer are at ...
Supposedly $400m excess profits, supplies are we are told screwed so wat. Conservatively 1/3 of this going back leaves $270m and there are 5.5m pop in NZ equates to$50/person but that is sorting what the govt is using. Don’t worry it will go the same as ...
Once the government breaks the supermarket duopoly & New Zealand Food & Grocery Council is successful in gaining better conditions for its members. How will we spend the $1/week that we are told is being gouged by the industry. FFS $1/week is going to make...
Which is more than the current govt has done. If we have a climate crisis then Labour is not a believer. So we could be a nil net contributor AFTER buying offshore credits to offset our emissions. That is not net zero. That is spin, and all those that ...
Think she is healthy enough to handle it. what a crap comment from someone that obviously had no idea Some mates included ride around Taupo complete in multi sports - over 16 weeks later from contracting COVID I am now on roids and using an inhaler. And ...
Humour like this about rape ?? "but it could be said she asked for it." If that is your idea of humour ?? I am happy that you then question my humour. Anne11.2.2.1 7 November 2021 at 10:09 am Well, she did publish – or allowed to be published – some rather...
Hipkins comments this morning on Q&A with his dismissal of LC 2:00 in. "We don't know " So what are you doing about knowing ??? Nothing about accepting that it is here in NZ. Hiding behind unvaccinated. I will ask YOU what are the government doing ?? What ...
It is people like you are our government that are unable to relate or appreciate what really happens. Just dismiss long COVID and those suffering from it, will not change people suffering and struggling to cope with diminished health. I gather you have not...
Q&A had this morning a researcher from Auckland commenting on Long COVID and how she was crowd funding to finance this research. Why does not the COVID or PM funds contribute to this ? Perhaps it has to do with Hipkins dismissal of this using our ...
Labour Governments are always "Fix it".Yes and how well they have done with house affordability. 9 years in waiting as the opposition 4.5+ year in government and they have screwed it up. And let us be reminded of the promise of Kiwibuild and the example ...
What do you know that the rest of us don’t? Few of the outbreaks into Auckland were never confirmed as to how. There were cases of tourist having COVID confirmed eg Wellington but no community outbreak. https://www.health.govt.nz/news-media/media-releases/...
Some of us not directly connected to Public Service can only go by what ministers have said. Should we not believe what Hipkins or the PM reported on or has what has been said not been carried out in the real world?? "However, she (Jacinda Adern) said the ...
Perhaps they could cancel the public sector pay freeze, last 2 years their incomes have reduced in real terms by over 10% (cpi increases) for those to live on ? That is 5 weeks less spending than they did in 2019. And will our benevolent government take ...
We have extremely low unemployment food banks with excessive demand more people on housing waiting lists, inflation at levels many have never experienced and expected to rise, there is something really WRONG in this picture. And our PM self-congratulatory ...
Fully support your rant 👍 I have thought and mentioned a few times, how do we as a grateful nation show our gratitude to the many who are going well beyond, and when do they get an extended time for R&R ? Perhaps gifting those workers extra leave was 1 ...
Good on them. Just found that cueueing at the petrol station brought back memories of normal Auckland motorway congestion on a Friday commute trip home. Traffic is banking up down roads taking lanes out of action, memories of budget nights past when buying...
So what has your basis of Ms Bellis background got to do with it ? I suggest you google "How to clean a Cesspool", it may have some relevance. Perhaps you should take some time to read Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle. Funny how with the likes of you and ...
Hipkins releases private info out to play political games. Paula Bennet did something similar when Nats were in govt. And many attacked Bennet/Nats for the actions (and it was extremely poor) Where are these now that a senior minister in this government ...
Can you not go to a local COVID testing station, I think they apply RAT tests so the waiting time should be reduced from the old PCR days https://covid19.govt.nz/testing-and-tracing/covid-19-testing/how-to-get-a-covid-19-test/
So how will 3 waters help in this ? "The three waters service delivery reform is proposing to reform council-owned drinking water, wastewater and stormwater supplies." Discharge is a consent issue and from my reading outside 3H2Os and still under council ...
Manukau where all the wealth and high incomes reside in 🙃. The only BAU I have noticed re traffic volumes: is the school traffic. Where I work the office car park is used for school drop offs and pickups with 2 schools across the road, and at our local ...
Filled my vehicle up 11:20 this morning diesel $2:51 returning past the same station $2.61. No wonder the motorway is like a Sunday morning. I get the impression that those living day to day are increasing in number. These fuel increases, from talking to ...
What of the PR propaganda. Based on fear. The minister continually declines and Q&A time to the media. If the minister cannot sell this ,what does that say of either/both the minister and the policy ?? From the link below the issues are mentioned BUT no ...
like ECE, teaching, aged care health workers are generally “givers”. I have this fear that they will feel obligated to return to work when they are still unwell. As someone still recovering form COVID, recovery can more complicated than a cold/flu and as I...
No I am staying that all those I mentioned also have stated that this version is mild, but when you are fully captured by PR what hope is there for you to see anything different. the pm is quoted now go away it is a school night and you need your sleep 😴 “...
Already have 1 and recoding the trends heart and o2. and to you muttonbird why just isolate the right I have heard our dir of health, ministers and PM make the same comments, so open your eyes and ears you maybe surprised at what you see/hear., or are you ...
Pity our government doesn’t see it that way. As someone who is now in their 4th week another member in their 3rd and still also struggling. Went to doctors with infections and major fatigue and struggling for breath was told as I had past my 10th day and ...
Does Putin want to win or just implement a scorched earth policy on the Ukraine ? Such action is so chilling. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/russia-ukraine-war-europes-largest-nuclear-power-plant-on-fire-after-shelling/RB3N4SM2634HYU4MPQSLAHE6GA/
As the world reacts to Russian actions of late, many countries have imposed sanctions eg freezing their assets. Yet I now read Roman Abramovich is now contemplating selling his football team and for these $$billions of funds to be placed into his charity. ...
You commented "that Government is not directly involved in the negotiations" Yet Little made comments of the government was directly involved. And why then did it need cabinets approval if they had nothing to do with it. ""Health Minister Andrew Little ...
Then why did the government get involved?? and Little's comments. For an ex union leader he knows how to turn his back on unions (CTU) and the workers they represent now being a minister. From Littles statements he appeared to me to be taking ownership. ...
