Do you have a link to him talking about such a proposal and can you provide a link? Well no... not really. Hon Dr Megan Woods: Is the detailed business case funded by the previous Government on a multi-technology or portfolio approach of flexible ...
This thread kicked off (@9) with Ffloyd's response to alwyn's comments at @7, and @7.5.1 which contained this insight: Frankly I think his [Hipkins’] story is b**s intended to make him look like a man of the people. https://thestandard.org.nz/open-mike-09-...
What do Willis' "children have to do with this"? That depends. If "this" refers to the free food in schools programme, then probably very little. Frankly I think his [Hipkins'] story is b**s intended to make him look like a man of the people. https://...
I intend to be at every climate protest, if only to swell the numbers! Me too - well, every local one. The ‘flickering’ of Earth systems is warning us: act now, or see our already degraded paradise lost [31 Oct 2023] In the 2030s, 40s or 50s, when the ...
And kids, that means instead of movie night meaning DVDs and Tip Top at home, we might go out to the movies. Willis' efforts to wean kids off Tip Top are admirably healthy - wishing her well
I like that choice better than reheated kumara mash or meatball burgers Choice - back to school for you then NZ (public) schools are where woke food goes to die! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKGmDk4FEU0
How long is that seminar, and will (unwoke no-frills) food be laid on for the laid off? "If you don't get that sushi's woke, I don't know how to wake you up," Seymour said. Hmm, 'Seymour says' could be a fun game for the well-heeled. Seymour Says is a ...
What might Dennis be up to - maybe he's thinking of doing a runner Trotter
It must be a matter of taste Demand for food in schools will soar once Seymour's new scheme is in place. And kids, that means packets of corn chips, and maybe even a peanut butter sandwich - white bread only We reject woke food ideology. We fight the woke...

A definitive list of woke and non-woke foods [8 May 2024] In announcing changes to the school lunches programme, David Seymour said kids would no longer be served ‘woke’ foods. I'd liken Seymour to a worm, except worms are useful. Does he fear 'woke' food...
How an unreliable boat makes Chatham Islands life harder [19 Nov 2023] The new MP for the Chathams – part of the Rongotai electorate – visited the island this week. Julie-Anne Genter, from the Green Party, said her priority is finding out what's going on ...
No, they were bullied into that view by effectively 2 people. There's a big difference. Anyone can have a belief about why the VU managers came to a different view, but come to a different view they did - it's just a fact. Btw, did those Jonathan Rauch ...
You are assuming that the additional participants add diversity of opinion. Just as I assumed that each of the original five panellists had distinct views/perspectives/opinions/knowledge to contribute. Of course, you might assume that the original five ...
On Friday morning, Victoria University Vice-chancellor Nic Smith said the debate's line-up had been expanded to include a "very balanced panel" with the addition of a Māori political commentator, rainbow community and inclusivity advocates and additional ...

In this blog post, through an analysis of the disinformation-based campaign I have personally experienced since October 2023 mobilised by the communicative ecosystem of the Free Speech Union (FSU), I will attend to the lifecycle of disinformation in ...
Mistrust of every kind of authority grew out of this experience, a skeptical attitude toward the convictions that were alive in any specific social environment—an attitude that has never again left me, even though, later on, it has been tempered by a ...
Local Water Done Well Well Well. Water: What are National and Act doing in the shadows? National and Act’s policies on drinking water would reduce protections and ignore the recommendations of the inquiry into the Havelock North campylobacter outbreak ...
That's debating - win some, lose some - good call by Vic Uni management, imho. Salient visited the Provost/Acting Vice Chancellor, Bryony James, for a kōrero. The conversation was productive and wide-ranging, and revealed a genuine desire from James and ...

the denial I referred to was your representation of NZ’s problems as somehow aligned to everyone else’s. Can'r help observing that some of NZ's current problems - say high inflation/cost of living/interest rates - are common to many countries, and ...

So you're now not denying there's a problem, but you don't like the current remedy? @Traveller - What denial? We agree it'll be 'tough' for many Kiwis. And Kiwis see our CoC govt's landLord tax cut for the 'remedy' it is. Government by the wealthy, for ...

This is a problem for your argument... That our CoC govt's austerity puts some Kiwis on a backward track? I thought we were agreed on that. Cuts come with consequences. Most macroeconomists now agree that the austerity programme pursued by the Coalition ...
What I do know is that NZ faces some significant economic challenges, some of our own making, some not. One of those is inflation. Another is structural deficits. What I know is NZ isn't alone in facing the challenges of unemployment, inflation and ...
