She was asked if she resiled from Dirty Politics and her relationship with Cameron Slater. She said she did not want that sort of culture any more and said that she had learned from her mistakes. I wonder how Cameron will respond to his bestie publicly ...
It could as easily be said 'The media are not hostile towards JA at all, they love and adore her'. Nausea is in the eye of the partisan. Media tend to reward competence with handling the media.

Why should that be necessary? Should only people who have successfully scrubbed their pasts and are lucky enough for historic eyewitnesses to remain silent be able to stand for election? Surely there has to be some acceptance of less than perfect online ...
Too late for a lot of people not too use their real names. It can be hard to erase the online past. I understand why some want to remain anonymous, those who are open with their identities shouldn't be penalised simply for doing that. The main problem is ...
Labour sacks candidate who praised racist 'Wogistan' column Labour has sacked a candidate from its list after it emerged he once praised a column describing Islam as a "Stone Age religion" and its followers as a "sorry pack of misogynist troglodytes from ...
And National are already busy on Facebook (and I presume other social media) with: National won't increase your taxes. Labour-Greens will. Labour-Greens will put new taxes on your house, rental property, shares, bonds, business assets and art. Source: ...
Quite an assumption. I think it's a very risky policy to campaign on for the Greens after the Metiria experience last campaign, leading their campaign with radical social policy. Risky for productivity taxing those most likely to be investing in business ...
It's 2% for 'wealth' over $2m. Those who need to keep revaluing their property and businesses may see it as a bit of a problem. Also those who have assets without having a lot of cash to pay annual tax. A change like this would likely have a significant ...

I can't see any sign of Bishop having done anything wrong, acting for constituents is common for electorate MPs, he would have been negligent not to pass the email on. Having a constituent matter outed by senior Ministers in parliament deserves more ...
Bloomfield is contradicting the official MOH line from yesterday: “Upon leaving the Novotel in a private vehicle provided by friends, the women got lost on the Auckland motorway system. “On realising this they phoned the same friends who supplied the ...
It would have made no difference there. The gym owner found out on Tuesday and talked to the MOH then. An Auckland gym says a woman who lent a car to the two new Covid-19 cases - and met them when they were lost - attended a "hands-on" training session at ...
I has miskeyed the Naame on the first one and it disappeared so I reposted the comment later. You can delete the first one (no comments on it) if you want to tidy up.
UMR poll: – Labour 54% (down marginally from 55% in April) – ational 30% (up marginally from 29% in April) – NZ First 5% (down from 6%) – Greens 4% (down from 5%) – ACT may be 2.5% Preferred Prime Minister: – Jacinda Ardern 65% (no change) – Todd Muller 13...
This confirms the Covid effect on Labour and National. Polling was done April 27 – May 24. Todd Muller took over as National leader on 22 May so too soon to indicate anything, but he has had a poor start. Compared to Colmar Brunton and Reid Research the ...
Greens got the negotiating bit right on welfare at the start of the term. From Confidence and Supply Agreement between the New Zealand Labour Party and the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand: Fair Society 10. Overhaul the welfare system, ensure access to ...
He is correct on that. He is currently on bail pending a Supreme Court appeal due to be heard on 28 May. I think he was still in home detention when his habeas corpus write was first filed and publicised via media, but by last week that had changed. https...
What lprent says here shows how bad McKinney and Nottingham have been to an extent - but searching for judgments at NZLII only shows the tip of the iceberg as many lower court judgements don't go online. For example in their hopeless case against me and ...
... regarding my initial comment. [Ok Pete, have it your way; I...
They've done very well to bring new cases down to single digits. They are obviously vary wary of dropping to level 3 which will increase risks, but they have to do that some time - and they have to be able to manage that. I'm confident that most likely ...
Ardern has just said that contract tracing is "an incredibly hard task". It could be days, even a week, before someone gets symptoms. If someone (or someone in someone's bubble) goes to the supermarket and a week later is confirmed with Covid, imagine how ...
There should be more than enough testing and contact tracing resources to manage a very small number of community transmission cases. We had 4,146 tests done in the last 24 hours (to 9 am today), and the MoH target for contract tracing is 80% within 3 days...
One possible community transmission case: Whanganui person tests positive for Covid-19 with no clear link to its source But it looks like very low community transmission and should be manageable.
"Why the selective quoting, Pete?" I thought you would know ... accusing that Author of exactly, Pete? Making insinuations like these sets...
Greens have promoted insulation and clean heat for years. But I haven't seen any mention of double glazing. In the last ten years I've increased ceiling insulation, added floor insulation, installed a clean wood burner, installed a heat pump and last year ...
We've just double glazed our 110 year old house and it makes a noticeable difference to retention of heat.
Yes, the Covid lockdown has proven how easy it is for many people to work mainly or totally from home. A lot of the comms infrastructure is already in place. I can work as well from home as from my office in the CBD. Our NW wide phone system was already ...
It could be worth doing, but I wonder if it has been costed. They say "Delivering modern rapid rail in these regions could be achieved for approximately $9 billion over ten years." That doesn't seem a huge amount, but no sign of cost benefits or financial ...
The bold and italics were as per the email, I didn't change text attributes.
We make pepperoni pizzas at home that are any bit as good as anything we can buy. They're actually quite simple to make, especially if you buy bases from the supermarket.
