Did John Keys ever apologist for this, by text or any other means? I can't remember. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/john-key-accuses-labour-of-backing-rapists/H5LX5UMIFCAVKWAZF5X3BCFWU4/ Still, 12 months later he was gone.
This is tragic and a loss to the country. There are too few people willing to devote themselves and their families for the betterment of the disenfranchised. My hope is that Efeso Collins becomes a touchstone for all those inside and outside of parliament ...
Hi weka. Why would you say, "too"? MS in the post and the first comment did not mention the loss to the left, just loss, but you felt the need to differentiate between the loss to to the people of NZ and the loss to the left for some reason. It seems like ...
Is it a lazy slur? It's an opinion based on Farrar being the only pollster in NZ to also be politically active, and heavily politically active, and a heavy political activist on many, many levels. To be honest I'm stunned RANZ allows it. It's also an ...
Trotter buys Luxon's line that the nation is in a fragile state which is total rubbish if compared to even recent history, and the history which Trotter primarily compares the country's state is America in the Great Depression, ffs. Luxon is never going to...
It's not really, because at least Roy Morgan is consistent in its 'habitual overestimation of the Greens', your baseless claim there. The reason you can't "say the same thing about Roy Morgan" is that polling company's owner and operator isn't also a high ...
Speaking of looking at polls for trends, three polls put ACT at 7.5% and one, the far right wing activist, claims ACT are double that. Your first paragraph makes zero sense but at least even you are able to acknowledge Farrar's latest attempt is an outlier...
I see weka has Dolomedes' ear. What a surprise.
Hipkins is done. Recently married and good luck to him but the polls and therefore the media has moved on. No immediate panic but Labour needs to turn the page eventually.
Nicola Willis is a dangerous idiot. A new contract for the same ferries which she just cancelled would now cost 40% more than if she has just stuck to her knitting: The $551 million fixed-price contract with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) to build the new ...
It's true though. You don't consult the public on controversial issues because by definition you will get controversy. Just do it. The right does this whether the public like it or not, the difference is they do it very early and hard and then smile. ...
Upston wants tens of thousands more clients brought under the gaze of case managers currently working with 60,000 high needs or complex people. This while MBIE has to cut 6.5% or 7.5% of its staff. Only result is case managers with a lot more to do ...
I know the margin of error is +/-3% but it's not meant to be ACT +3% (actually +6% according to Farrar) and Greens -3%. But who knows, maybe this is allowed by RANZ. The worrying thing is that he, Seymour, and the Tax Dodgers Union knows what poll momentum...
I think that is now three polls in a short period showing David Farrar to be a corrupt hard right wing activist pollster which huge conflicts of interest, particularly in promoting ACT and its desperate, racist Treaty rewrite referendum: Roy Morgan: Greens...
Particularly repugnant was first the strategy of throwing around a large fictitious number, $200B, followed by the Farraresque method of breaking the large fictitious number into smaller 'per person, per hour' numbers: “They were $200 billion short. If you...

TPANZ was registered last April as NZ Teachers United. Documents were filed by Queensland Association Services Group Pty, from an address in Bowen Hills, Brisbane, the base of Red Unions. The three unions’ postal address is a mailbox in Parnell. Red ...
My concerns about visubversa and Tiger's comments are that they trivialise and delegitimise all transgender people by mocking them as nothing more than sexual fetishists and imposters with cocks and balls. This is a from of prejudice akin to racism which ...
It's not akin to saying that feminists hate men and always have. Or that Māori radicals want to kill white people. Akin to would be saying feminists are too political, and that Māori radicals all vote Labour. That's akin, and debatable. By describing ...
That sounds like an excuse to pass the cost onto tenants. Better to make the rates system even more progressive so that the very and moderately wealthy are paying much more for to the city they apparently enjoy living in.
It shouldn't one or the other, it should be both. What you call glamorous projects are facilities to make a city liveable just like water services. The glamorous projects are things like alternative transport and the development of people friendly areas. ...
Sorry, who am I defending here apart from transgender people?
What, no link? I provided a link to support my claim, but you did not :/ Graham Lineman sets up fake accounts in order to troll, harass, and doxx people online. That's a big no, no pretty much everywhere in decent society. Visibersa and Tiger's comments on...
Graham Linehan is a white cis male. Hardly marginalised. He's also a hateful transphobe.
There can be some horrific othering and demonising of marginalised people on this forum sometimes. Punching down rather than up. It's not progressive and it's really depressing.
While fascinating to watch, I don't think steel stressing and exothermic welding is the main issue. Kiwirail expands on a fragile network, inadequate foundations, old wooden bridges, and ageing signalling. Massive infrastructure deficit because all the ...
But wait there's more. In a poetic script of our times, written in pure American tradition: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/350180345/shots-fired-kansas-city-chiefs-super-bowl-celebration
Can only assume he means further dairy intensification (double the intensification by definition) with all the destructiveness that brings upon the environment. Trading off the New Zealand brand while simultaneously destroying that brand. Vulture ...
As the sun sets on New Zealand, here are those new ferries sailing off into the pockets of amateur landlords: Government’s $3 billion landlord tax cut would be retrospective and trigger some refunds - IRD https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/governments-...
Simeon Brown has not even done the most damage. That falls to Willis and Luxton. At least Brown has one brain cell unlike the other two. Look at the problems track provider Kiwirail is having in Auckland. This is because of decades of underinvestment and ...
You were probably always right wing but didn't know it until challenged.
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 ...
