This is the winner ! Mrs Brillo .
Absolutely not ! chris 73. You're just trying it on ..... we all know you're a Nat - so just quit the stupid trolling.
What I also found surprising is that the Herald story is written by Audrey Young - who is usually so very pro-National.
Yes . Hope it works ! and they go out and vote positively.
Yes - don't get too worried. The Greens have quite a backbone of support out there - I think they should get back in. And I've seen a few Labour supporters on FB saying they'll Party vote Green and vote for their own Labour candidate. (Not that I agree ...
Sort - of like the Sutch affair, Anne. Reeks of the same tactics. Dirty politics.
Yes - there's something a bit weird here, mary_a. Didn't Winston say he introduced his partner to the WINZ person, and didn't he also say he was "single" when asked to describe his status. WINZ ask a lot of questions when you apply for NZ Super, and its a ...
My goodness, the Labour Party vote in Whangarei has increased dramatically from last election - according to Colmar-Brunton Poll on Q & A this morning. Last election it was about 14% - now its risen to 37% with the Nat Party vote at 41%. (NZF 16%). The ...
Labour is looking at re-opening mothballed rail lines like the Napier-Gisborne line, CleanGreen, if there is evidence that they are sustainable. In an announcement from Michael Wood Labour mP yesterday.
+100% OAB - what's that stuff Trump does ? Alternative facts ! That's what Ian is on about .
for goodness sake, Carolyn_nth - Labour has ALWAYS had a full set of policies (too much for many people!) to take to the country. Labour's policies cover everything we can think of - from the basic health, housing, education, jobs, to looking after the ...
Someone took a video - its quite long - of the queue waiting outside the Auckland Town Hall this afternoon - all 2800 of us - and frankly, it looks like a Labour support crowd to me - genuine Labour, no Greens, no NZFs - just our usual motley crew turning ...
Excellent story in the latest Geographic magazine, Ian, about how farmers have lost their social agenda. Suggest you read it. Might then make sense of what some of us are trying to tell you.
If you tried to swim, or drink, or get any kai from the rivers in the north, Ian - you'd make yourself sick. And this has been happening because of increased dairying, increasing numbers of cattle dying, poo-ing and wee-ing in these same rivers and lack of...
Andrew Little left a major legacy to Labour when he stepped down - he had helped produce a large number of very good socialistic policies - ones which will help those who are poor, those who are homeless, those who cannot afford to buy a home, along with ...
I witnessed something extraordinary today : Labour had 2800 people at its campaign launch. This is a record-breaking event the Party's history ! In the past, we think we've done well to get 600 to a campaign launch. The Auckland Town Hall was crowded - ...
Napier used to be a long-time Labour-held seat. If the tide is turning against the Nats, isn't this reason enough to think Stuart Nash will retain the seat.
Yes - definitely do NOT take food or drink to hand out. This is called "treating" and no candidate or political party should be doing it. Food and drink is okay at a social function or public meeting where that usually happens - ie its normal to have tea/...
The CTU had a number of "flash dance" rallies around the country this morning - to help raise awareness of the need for pay equity. One of these events entertained the morning coffee crowd at the Whangarei Town Basin, and I think another happened in Aotea ...
Annette's speech - warm, witty and personal. And yes to those who remember the years of Rogernomics, she was there too - and Annette acknowledged that, and the effects that has had on New Zealanders, even unto this day. But that does not degrade the work ...
Thanks for putting this up, Carolyn_nth. Might have missed it otherwise. Very telling story. There are many people (mostly women I would think) who could resonate with what Metiria was saying. Things have become so much more worse for solo parents on the ...
+ 100% - anything to keep the nightmare at bay !
You could add Andrew Little into your list of REAL Men , Tautoko Mango Mata, and - like you, I hope James Shaw can pull his party together to make it back into Parliament - and hopefully, as part of a left-wing-green government.
Agree with you Carolyn_nth totally. Also am impressed with James S this last week or so.
Yeah - there's quite an element of sexism there. Maybe most men don't see it, but as a woman who has experienced apology second-hand thru a male, I certainly do.
What is more - gifts of money and other financial support for beneficiaries would have been assessed as "income" and her benefit reduced as a consequence.
totally agree with you, Anne.
Yeah - three decades of neo-liberalism and all the goodwill generated from the 1970s thru to the early 1980s from protest activities (Springbok tour, nuclear-free, feminism, environmental care) has gradually dissipated and we can no longer claim we are a "...
Weka - thanks for putting up the video of press conference. I tried to do this last night but for some reason couldn't get the darn thing to work !
Yes - its a very good read, Carolyn_nth - but I doubt that many will take much notice of it. We have become a hard, uncaring country over the last three decades.
You are forgetting that Labour has already researched and costed many of its announced policies .
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
