Could we consider the fundamental lack of vision. We have an economy that over concentrates on selling houses to each other. That is failing as a viable means of generating wealth, so the solution is to sell houses to other people?

Covid the Busbarian
Sorry Adrian you are wrong. I cycle to work everyday in Auckland, 18 km each way, rain or shine. It takes less time than a car, its cheaper and more enjoyable than commuting by any other mode (yes even when it is hosing down). I do it because of that ...
On losing one or both of the Georgia Senate seats in two years: Ossoff's seat is not up for re-election until 2026.
The vaccine could be made compulsory despite what the BORA says, its just that there would be no appetite to pass BORA inconsistent legislation in this case and likely be no need if sufficient numbers took it up.
One interpretation of NZF's showing last time out was that there was a cohort of voters that were ready to leave National but not quite convinced with Labour. NZF was a placeholder and this could be a reason that NZF's support is so soft.
As a devout Catholic, Muller is off to an auspicious start by being elected on the Feast of Saint Rita (patron saint of impossible dreams).
Nice threadjack, so subtle.
Fact check: The Conservatives' share of the vote increased from 2015 because UKIP's vote collapsed to 1.8% and when had received 12% of the vote in 2015, predominantly in Tory seats (which is why David Cameron proposed the referendumb in the first place).
And of course not all council's are equal. The Conservatives do well in the large number of rural TA's with low population.
Yes, it is only 8% worse than 54%.
I know you said this to mock the proposal of either trains or trams but actually it makes sense to install cycle infrastructure at the same time. It can be added at a negligible marginal cost if done at the same time and would add a valuable transport ...
Fact check (or is that Actcheck) On the proposition that reducing the number of MP's will bring New Zealand in line with other developed countries. On the assumption that this means other western democracies, and making a comparison with similar sized ...
Looking at the party vote in electorates, after the preliminary count, Labour have increased the number of general roll electorates where it is the largest party from 4 to 15 (this year, like 2014, Labour easily swept the 7 Maori seats). Pleasingly it ...
National - carefully managed authenticity since 2008
A media protocol simply does not fall out of the sky. Shouldn't the next OIA be to reveal the development of the protocol.
And to fact-check the slogan no Government has won a by-election in a seat held by an opposition party - its happened four times: 1920 - Bay of Plenty from Liberal to Reform 1921 - Auckland East from Liberal to Reform 1930 - Parnell from United to Reform ...
Dividends are already taxed at the marginal rate of the shareholder.

If you are curious rule 3.3 (subject to the restrictions of rule 3.8) of eth District Court Rules provides a general right to inspect a Court file. PG of course as a party has an absolute right to inspect or direct his legal representative to inspect the ...
From the Newspeak Land Herald, apparently it is undemocratic for the party members to elect their own leader, the MPs have a greater mandate from the wider Labour public (a Roughanesque editorial surely) - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm...
Ironically lowering the corporate tax rate is one of those 'perverse regulatory incentives' so loathed by actual libertarians. A corporate tax rate at 12.5 per cent and with a top personal tax rate at 33 per cent means that it is more tax efficient to keep...
Very good.
You should have kept listening, apparently the Green party caused the leaky buildings crisis.
God you are an idiot Penny - do the left a favour and shut up.
And the Herald does Mr Key's job for him - http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11257861 Headline "Housing crisis worse under Clarke's government" A pretty important statement to put into a headline, so you would assume that ...
See Issac Davison's article from teh Herald this morning. The Herald has gone from just regurgitating press releases to cut and pasting from Wikipedia (the last 9 paragraphs are lifted directly without attribution) http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article...
I'm all for raising the tax rate, but again apart from tinkering around the edges no party that will be in Parliament after November is suggesting anywhere near the type of radical redistribution that is required. My suggestion above was only shows the ...
It is too late. The superannuation timebomb/landslide/tsunami is already here. A gradual shift of the age to 67 will do nothing except make it seem as if the politicians are doing something. The numbers are staggering and will bankrupt this country and ...
