Prohibition has been tried in NZ all.of my life, and ...
Yep, ridiculous. The likes of Houlbrooke just oppose anything that even slightly smacks of social responsibility, all under the guise of 'personal freedom'.
... most beautiful recreational space in NZ. And the net benefit Auckland...
... biggest infrastructure spend in modern NZ history. Great stuff so long... scuttlebit. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c...
Great post. But..... China is an imperlist empire. Xinjiang. Xinjiang. Sichuan. Nei mongolia. This is not a country but an empire. And way more evil than the British or Roman versions. And it will fail. Eventually. Xinjiang is now germany 1933. And the ...
A 'decent welcome for the All Blacks'. Marriage. 'Telegenic guy'. I hope this post is just a rather poor attempt at humour, rather than a serious attempt to turn the government into some ridiculous version of Shortland Street. Advantage, dont give up your ...
Yes, a way kinder and more caring government for sure. No doubt whatsoever in my mind about that! Posts, texts etc always miss the nuances that are so important, and it is so easy, for me at least, to not quite convey the subtleties of my message at times....
If you mean she showed brilliant leadership with the mosque shooting, you are right. But hey, as always wtb, just play the abuse, if that somehow makes you feel.better and you believe it in some strange way forms an argument. And please do not make ...
Anne, Re-reading my post, yes you are right. Linking the Marist Brother to this current situation was wrong of me. I guess what I was trying to say was that sexual abuse, in general, is still way too casually viewed by many people. Not sure what you mean ...
... treated. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id...
Sanctuary Your conspiracy and dismissive comments are ridiculous. The MSM is, if you ever bothered to read/watch it, heavily covering this and in great depth. It was even one of the lead items on TV news last night. The MSM that you so disparage is still ...
Sadly, many still think like that. The end (election victory) justifies the means (sweeping the allegations under the carpet). Yet again, Nigel Haworth proves that he is not up to the responsibilities of his position.
Yeah, those days are long gone. My assistant is my wife, and even I am not allowed to do that to her without her threatening to quit.
Yes, but we still do not know what the question was! Classic series that (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy for those who missed it).
Yep, USA was great once. As you say, Marshall Plan etc. Really though, US still is, in general. Most disaster aide in the world today is via US military. Sadly, the invasion of Iraq pretty much undermined a great country. And as for Vietnam,....... but I ...
More crazy conspiracy theories. And of course, man never landed on the moon, the ChCh mosque massacre was all Mossads doing, and my chips tonight are soggy because of Brexit. Unbelievable. And you are allowed to vote? I despair at times like this.
Because he has pleaded guilty and still has name suppression. The establishment, whether National, Labour or other, ALWAYS protects ts it's own. Besides, I think by now most know the identity.
Poor selection of Minister nails it. That arrogant vacuous Twyford may well be an appropriate choice for looking after the Parlimentary broom cupboard, but not as Minister for what is one of the most important portfolios of the government.
Reading the article, I guess the prosecutor was left little alternative, after the defence lawyer had already approached the media with inflammatory and incorrect claims. Of more interest, why does the guilty party still have name suppression? Very unusual...
Yep, Dunne is a repulsive creature. I well remember the time he even said there was no way whatsoever even medicinal use of cannabis would be considered, EVEN IF THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTED IT. Classic stupidity from a classically stupid little man.
Yes, as always, the world is just about to end. No. Reality is GB will, after a year of turmoil and adjustment, flourish, as it will have the entire.world to trade with rather than being tied to the sop of the EU. Why on earth are so many on this site ...
Partly at least. At least this government has given rail a chance.
Great graphic Sacha. Thank you.
Yes that slime ball Slater seemed to be untouchable. I wonder why? And the Police showed their true sympathies way back with the Springbok tour. A long time ago, but institutional culture tends to change slowly.
You may well be right, I am talking from a ChCh perspective which may well be different than from, say, South Auckland. I hate drugs, as my step son died from Sin. But I would much rather we, as a society, be honest. So yes, in the referendum I will vote ...
They do use incentives though, like pay ($20 -$25 per week which is a lot for long laggers or those without family support). Also, prisoners will get perks, like a boil up, or coffee or Milo and so on, which again means a lot to those with little! As much ...
A lot of that already exists at the Rolleston/Christchurch Prison complex. Forestry, piggery (largest in SI), engineering, farm (sheep), plus the painting, maintenance and gardening gangs. Also a complex that renovates houses, which involves carpentry, ...
... already de facto legal in NZ? Let's be honest, we can...
At Rolleston Prison Christchurch, food is grown (at least it was 10 years ago so assume still is). It was a good thing, with the Kia Marama unit (sex offenders) growing potatoes, strawberries and also having honey hives. The Rimu(?) Unit also worked on the...
I can't wait for his next post, probably wanting to ban women licking icecream in the workplace. And if, in some insane universe that he inhabits, he is actually right, what does that tell us about women wearing black or purple lipstick? I shudder at his ...
I do hope so. Always enjoy watching the religious bigot parties implode into scandals and hypocrisy.
