The majority of Ukrainians no doubt did want peace with Russia ... pity Putin chose to invade and try to take the country over, murder civilians and cause the largest refugee crisis in Europe since the WW2.
Portraying the Ukrainian people as unwilling dupes of the west is errant nonsense. Their remembered history of russian/soviet behaviour over the last century combined with they fierce resistance to the russian invasion overwhelming supported by the ...
There is zero evidence that Ukraine was going to send troops to or attack the ukraine in any manner whatsoever. The fighting/skirmishes in the Donbas region of Ukraine has been going on for somet time why did Putin decide to attack now and why did he try ...
Labour still polling in the high 30s is testament to the woeful state of the choice the voting public has when casting their vote at the next election.
What's the problem with the toe Lynn ?

There's no doubt that pay scales in the NZ healthcare system are lower than across the Tasman. The medical professionals and allied healthcare providers will, however, get the same pay as their NZ educated and resident peers.
I'd prefer to watch John Ritter.
Our hospitals, medical centres and rest homes have always relied upon the free flow of health professionals and associated caregivers from the asia pacific region and around the world. It is and was one of the greatest failures of our COVID response that ...
Stupid maybe, but at least it was an honest assessment of a Labour candidate winning in Tauranga in any election and especially in the current climate.
There was an agreed and backdated pay rise last year. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/126691612/nurses-to-get-5800-pay-rise-after-83pc-of-nzno-members-vote-to-accept-dhb-offer Also as Macro mentions the cupboard is bare ..in fact worse than bare.
Great we need some steady rain for a few days, hopefully it falls in the right places and as per goldilocks instructions.
And for this morning's episode of whataboutism .. in the red trunks we have Adrian..

statistics - we are all orders of magnitude more likely to catch Covid from someone currently in NZ than from an overseas arrival. economics - the extra income and additional workers entering will be welcomed by many.

All quite reasonable tips from the Tauranga budget advisory service. it really is a bit odd the things people choose to get outraged about on a Sunday morning.
Who is the leader of the National party ?
Apologies ... an allusion to an old Dr Who episode.
Don't you think the PM looks tired ?
What a daft thing for people to be upset about. If you replace 'maori' with women, pacifica, people etc. would it cause a similar amount of angst ?
Labour offers competent management ? I know there's the need to make some positive noises on this blog but I think you're being too kind, many of the ministers have been utterly useless.
The 1% you say ? Not according to the latest Roy Morgan polling. https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/8912-nz-national-voting-intention-february-2022-202203070501
Mike Smith's 'interesting' views on the invasion in Ukraine.
This post certainly makes mickysavage's 'This is awkward' post from yesterday seem somewhat bombastic. [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in future.]
The vaccination programme was demonstrably slow and late Anne. As evidenced by the rush to shorten the gap between first and second doses and then second dose and booster. We are lucky that the latest variant of this virus is for the vast majority of ...
