An excellent summing up of where we are at. Thanks Robert for the link, it should be compulsory reading for everyone.
Yes Belladonna. The inquest needs to reveal how many of the 70 recipients phoned the Police, and also if NZF's office or any other MP's were addressees.
Yes SapphireGem. We are about to find out if Luxon is prepared to create civil unrest in order to become PM. Since the Treaty process was established in 1975 there has been ongoing discussions, hours of legal argument, and many court rulings; to now expect...
What's magic about 10,000? Seems a number made up for effect rather than need. Isn't the first requirement to make the electricity grid powered 100% from renewable sources?
Pat, of course we have, and always will have youth crime, but not of this intensity or number. Many factors appear to contribute to this. I would list the apparent on-going need for our economy to have significant levels of unemoyment to function as a ...
Until a majority of the electorate accepts that youth crime is a direct result of free market reforms and is prepared to support a political party that will address that damage, nothing will improve. Expecting tweaks to OT, Corrections, or Police to solve ...
Fair call Belladonna. But having seen question time and the specific requests for an actual document I remain of the view that specific inside knowledge was required.
The leaked information wasn't about the tax changes Belladonna, it was details Nicola Willis required for her fishing expedition re documents referring to Kiri Allen's alleged behaviour.
https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2023/07/14/captains-call/ "That there were public servants in Treasury and IRD willing to tell National’s Nicola Willis exactly what questions to ask and which documents to seek in relation to Robertson’s and Parker’s tax plans, ...
With the obvious feeding of information from within Treasury and the IRD to Nicola Willis over Kiri Allen I am in no doubt the report on school lunches will also have a political agenda. We lost an impartial public service a long time ago.
I totally agree Sanctuary. "Profanity is the sign of a lazy mind." The amount of profanity used by the 'boomer uncles' puts on display some very lazy minds, who sadly think they were being clever.
We expect/require politicians to declare and stand aside when there is a conflict of interests; surely the same rules should apply to journalists and reporters.
Or they could find real health workers who believed in National policy and were prepared to put their name to it.
👍
HT, Thanks for the topic and link. There must be a multitude of sites around Aotearoa for such turbines. Basically 4 times a day guaranteed output that could be used in conjunction with our hydro storage.
I was bemused by the Nat's desperately pleading with us to like their leader. If after all this time and all of Luxon's gaffes and backtracks they think Luxon is suddenly going to become inspirational they are clearly living in fantasy land. Time for them ...
and lets not forget the airline industry and its emmissions, an industry Luxon keeps telling us he was a ceo in - what emmissions reductions did he achieve. Tourism is an extremely environmentally damaging industry on many levels.
Mitchell's challenge raises some serious questions for National's leadership to answer. 1. Was it ok'd by Luxon? 2. What is National's and Luxon's view on boxing for fundraising? For me this challenge demonstrates (again) an unhealthy macho aspect to ...
It really is simple, anything other than 'a fair days' pay for a fair days' work' is akin to slavery; anyone who disagrees is therefore a supporter of slavery. We, and the National Party especially, should be ashamed that we have relied on exploited ...
Yes, they continue to prove over and over that even simple moral issues are beyond their grasp. Their belated 'no' announcement just makes their original 'yes-no-maybe' worse.
Or maybe National need a moral compass that registers more than just the pursuit of power.
Absolutley brilliant speech for its clarity and sincerity of message; we are indeed fortunate to have Jacinda as our PM.
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 ...
