The Cracker, The Creep and the Clown.
I have a very different story. Prostate monitoring for years, PSA rise, biopsy, scans, surgery. All in HB Hospital. On going monitoring by Urologist. More recently, hands swell, Dr refers to Hospital Rheumatologist, x-Rays, scans, hand therapist, ...
How about some reality! The NZ Government or “ the State,” has ALWAYS controlled NZ Education. The Department of Education as specifically set up to do just that. Then and now! Politicians are the problem, they can’t keep their stick fingers off Education!
It is far too late to negotiate “Treaty Principles.” They were set in 1870 or thereabouts. Seymour is an arse if he thinks he can change the course of history.
Our government did its very best for New Zealanders in extraordinary circumstances. Those choosing to review that, with the benefit of hindsight and no empathy, are out of touch with reality. If Nat/ACT is the answer, you are asking the wrong question.
The NZ LAW allowed the Police to muff a gun licence and the NZ LAW allowed him to buy an assault rifle. Your bias demeans you, not the brave decision made to CHANGE the Law and to remove those assault weapons we could. Yes we did not get all of them ...
Aaah the deadly mRNA! Do you know that mRNA operates in every cell of your body in the protein making process! In the Pfizer vaccine, the amino acid sequence making up the Covid “spike protein,” has been identified. The mRNA code needed to manufacture that...
While there are lists of internal flights of people who will need to isolate over a possible contact with Omicron, I won't even be visiting family the South Island. Let alone Australia or anywhere else. We are just seeing the start of this outbreak.
Since it is absolutely none of your business, who cares what you think!
If Labour lets it’s self be drawn into the LGBT nightmare it’s done for. Labour needs to support the economy, the environment, the workers, climate change issues and keep well away from sex issues. It’s a no win path to oblivion!
Just do the cheapest, overland option.The extra cost involved in underground options is unwarranted. Dublin and Edinburgh have both "retro-fitted" trams from their centre city to the airport. Both sit on top of the soil. The waste in terms of planning and ...
Sorry Ad but I think you are dreaming. Australia has proved itself anything but friendly to NZ and to New Zealanders. Their “friendship” comes on their terms only. Think:Australian banks- exploitative of NZ Australian Supermarkets- exploitative of NZ. ...
Afghanistan is a basket case and NZ has brought in a number of refugees. This Kiwi thinks we have done enough there. At least until the dust settles. When the UN organises Afghan refugees and the Covid question is settled we could look again. Just now we ...
This is no area for politics. Individuals have the right to make their own choices. I taught teenagers for 32 years so I know how difficult they can be. If you allow their choices and support them, you will have happier teenagers and families. Conversion ...
Is it just me or can anyone else see the irony of this. On the day farmers have a Howly bag protest over water and climate change issues, climate change delivers yet another red warning event on the West Coast. This within weeks of a similar event in South...
Chris Bishop is full of it. He rates his own importance above any commonsense!
“Belief closes the mind, thought reaches no final conclusion. It looks forward always to new evidence.” Maurice Gee “The Plumb Trilogy.” This should be written large in every High School Science Lab.
Nitrates are very water soluble, so you can’t filter them out. Some Ion exchange resins have some success in fixing nitrate as it passes through. They are expensive and with a high nitrate load, would need fairly frequent replacement. The best option, I ...
I don’t think anyone can answer that. It is known that the flow rate of water through shingle is slow. Nitrates don’t change chemically in that environment. It is known the aquifers link with waterways. The lower Selwyn River and Lake Ellesmere show how ...
I agree wholeheartedly Mickey. To the extent that I will not watch the All Blacks play if it goes ahead, as I did during the 1981 Springbok tour. That occurred for political gain and backfired. Privatisation of the All Blacks is purely for economic gain ...
“The Market” will never build enough 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom houses needed to fix the housing crisis. There is not enough profit in a basic house and wage workers can’t afford McMansions. Government intervention is needed, bring back the Ministry of Works ...
"Belief closes the mind. Thought reaches no final conclusion, it looks forward, always, to new evidence." Maurice Gee. The Plumb Trilogy.
I’ve just read that so called “A listers,” are lining up for a gated community in the Gibbston Valley. Houses cost $4 million upwards. Apparently John Key is one of them. What Fuckers!! When we have families living in cars that is beyond obscene! Fuck off ...
Prisoners who refuse instructions get a warning; “this is your last opportunity to move peacefully or force will be used against you. Including the use of pepper spray.”Corrections staff are workers doing a very difficult job. They have a right to go home ...
I can’t see anyone in the above train of comments denigrating RSE workers. They are exploited to the same or worse extent, by Hort NZ, as Kiwis. RSE workers have even less choice and a recent charge of modern day slavery, in Hawke’s Bay, led to a “Labour ...
Because, my conspiracist leaning friend, sick people and dead people have rights of privacy! Duh!!
So we have a $9 billion Hort industry relying on about 15,000 low wage RSE workers. MIQ facilities quite rightly accepting returning NZ passport holders first. NZ workers choose not to do the hard work at minimum pay rates in an industry rife with reports ...
I want to see; efforts to build more houses, efforts to get NZ working and most of all, continued effort to clean up waterways and aquifers. Labour needs a very firmly place back foot when negotiating with farmers. Their ability to make money must not be ...
The religious right are in retreat. I went Pastafarian a few years ago All hail his noodley appendages!
If the market has not failed, why do we have leaky, understaffed hospitals and hundreds, if not thousands homeless? You can keep your market, it is an ideological wet dream!
what a complete load of bollocks!! Here is the original architect of economic privilege for a few and inequality for the many, trying to sound as if he cares! X@&:(;-!?
