Please can someone advise how to go about remorselessly trolling stupid little xxxx Jessee MacKenzie. Asking for a friend.
I can barely contain my rage and disgust at the front page article in the Herald today, fawning over one of the most evil men on the planet who has been allowed into the country because he is disgustingly rich. His name is James Ratcliffe and Rat suits him...
Wonderful extended metaphor and very apt.
What I wonder is, where does this leave the rescue helicopter outfit. It relies on charitable donations from the public. It could be sued for allowing a breach such as this. Boag has history over questionable dealings with the trust, eg getting them to fly...
Her father was a National cabinet minister. Always wondered how she could be a 'political journalist' for a major newpaper, in a country with so few news outlets, and a political commentator too. Clearly doing some deflecting for National by attacking the ...
Excellent. Could not agree more.
Maybe it's time for Tim Shadbolt to move north?
You are so right. National have spent a fortune on double laning the northern side of the Brynderwyns, which will all be wasted expenditure if a 4 lane motorway is built to replace the whole road. I have just returned home from Warkworth to rural property ...
It disturbs me that Obama has been 'appropriated' by Key and the National Party. And our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, has definitely been snubbed by the rich cotterie of National Party fat cats, surrounding Key and his 'golf buddy'. No wonder she has ...
I have only just seen this article, so many of the commentors above may have moved on. While I agree that some foreign investment can be 'a good thing' especially if the investors have philosphic values that promote social and public interests - like ...
oh joy! And watching Hosking do his sour lemon impersonation was most enjoyable. What a ludicrous performance.
He reminds me of Bannon a bit - a right wing anarchist, though possibly without the odour of uranium on his breath.
Fonterra is a huge monopoly. They don't have any competition in NZ so why does a CEO (in NZ) need to be paid such a ridiculous amount? How does that help the economy? Apart from the urgent need to clean up the environment which has been so badly abused by ...
I really like yours and savenz's take. The only think that rattles me a bit is the maps Gower put up towards the end of the TV3 broadcast. They showed Auckland a sea of blue (with two small extra pockets of red over what were there before) and the same for...
Check interview on RNZ National yesterday. Can't remember whether it was Nine to Noon or some other programme later in the day. (I was driving at the time.) An interviewee was talking about the impact on the planet of humans and domestic/agricultural ...
Here in Northland and just over the border in what used to be Rodney, some dairy farmers are fed up with the dreadful state of much used (so called metal) roads. They are more like mud slurries/dustbowls. Some of the anger is aimed at local government but ...
Lots of us donate to charity and we don't own all that abused land. I spent years travelling around urban and rural NZ selling the wares of my business. All through the boom years for dairy farming at the beginining or this century, retailers in the ...
Correct.
Agreed, but we are a very small country and having let the Trojan horse in so far, we have made it hard to reverse policies in this context. Our government has placed NZ in a very parlous situation. Knowingly allowing a member of the Peoples' Liberation ...
Such a helpful and friendly comment. Just reading The Guardian today. The UN has a new report out that states that current farming practices have caused one third of the world's soil to be acutely degraded. I live in a rural area. Always amazed at the fact...
So Groser had lots of help bargaining away our future. You would have thought one of the numbskulls would have worked out that, making big concessions on dairy AT THE END of the whole deal process, AFTER meekly caving to all the previously dealt with ...
"Wow, this is what I got for the whole of New Zealand - pity it's only funny money!"
Read 'The Death of Money' (away from home so can't give author's name) at Christmas. Very interesting chapter on who owns and who is buying up all the world's gold.
Totally agree.
I have also wondered if there aren't any wealthy individuals with integrity in New Zealand.
At last, some sensible comments. I am not a teacher, but as a mother and grandmother, I am very conscious of how inconsiderate it is to teachers, to disrupt the class learning schedule, if there are children missing from class during term time. One of the ...
Yes you've got it. Can't remember the book that made me understand that, was it 'Rogueconomics', 'The Death of Money', 'Griftopia' or one about the fallacy of exponential economic growth (can't remember the name). GDP can be a false indicator of the health...
For some time now I have ben thinking - more of a banana milkshake republic.
'The people living here have no real say, and most simply resign and take no action. I am desperate to get out of this place, to be honest, I see NO future in Auckland, the supposedly “most liveable city” in the world (according to Len the Mad Mayor Brown...
wow I never realised there were so many rich parents in NZ whose children spent all their time at house auctions in Auckland. So we really do have a rock star economy then.
Boy, Old School seems to have put some words in a shaker and just typed them as they came out on his/her snakes and ladders board. I can't think of any other explanation for the pot porri above. Alternatively his/her keyboard is on something very whacky.
