Good piece on this by Jonathan Milne in Newsroom yesterday. “If S&P do downgrade them in the future, by one notch, then they will be paying an additional five basis points. Not all might go down, though. There are differences among those 21 councils,” he [...

Divisive comment :-(
Luxon is a girl who can’t say no. If you’d said “child” instead of "girl" then you’d have avoided the sexist undertone. And their popularity is up. What’s the basis of your claim? For example, the opinion polls since the GE-2023 don’t lend support to it. ...

Mac1 and others have already given excellent responses to your early-morning salvos. MetService will issue a heat alert for 46 towns or cities, if the forecast temperatures are expected to be unusual (very hot) for that location. This alerting scheme is ...

Out of curiosity. When does a working class MP cease to be working class and thus a representative of this class? When they’re elected, when they’re sworn in, when they give their Maiden Speech in Parliament, after their first 100 days or year in ...
Yes, Teanau Tuiono has shared whakapapa. I don’t use mobile version at all; Lprent is currently doing a lot of work on the site.

As long as Winston can tie his tie in a double Windsor, tie his shoelaces, and pull up his zipper (or does he use buttons?) he’ll be fine and this is just him throwing a dead cat on the table and let the media & pundits do the bouncing.
