Please provide some details on your source Stuart C Scott as I can find nothing which establishes any form of credibility as a commentator on this subject
I take issue with your comments about Jeremy Corbyn, particularly your allegations of antisemitism. I would be interested to know what you view as antisemitic. Does critisism of Israel's continued Apartheid policies against the illegally occupied palestine...
All this rubbish about the rich boys toys. Why when seeking support for this outfit we only hear team nz quoted, not the full name - Emirates team nz?
Well done. The next step in creating a truly public health system is to nationalise all private hospitals and shut down all private health insurance. Just think of all that resource and revenue that could then be available for the public health system.
Can we drop all this trump shit and theorising? We have more important matters desperately needing attention in Aotearoa. I have no time for trump and his ilk, but its a US problem. Let us focus on those aspe ts of our own society wbere we are dismally ...
You do realise don't you that this is the precurser to UBI!
Yes. If you married a member of the Jewish faith. Ivanka Trump is an example. There are many others.
I note that professor Attridge refers to members of the Jewish faith as a people. The Jewish faith is no more or less as any proselitysing religion, that is- a religion. Suggest that the good professor read Shlomo Sands treatise on the subject. If Jews are...
Perhaps we should also be critical of male genital mutilation as practised by those who subscribe to Judaic law.
What do you mean" the crap that we went through since Helen left". Hele Clarke as Prime Minister was only slightly to the left of Roger Douglas and did nothing meaningful for either workers or Maori rights. I say this as an old trade unionist
The new axis of evil,USA, Israel, Saudi arabia
Actually, Patricia, four of them. Don't forget good old Israel, who has found time to attack Syria as well as murdering Palestinans for protesting or their right of return,
All this whilst Israel gets on with its crimes against humanity unchallenged by the same western powers that howled to the moon about Assad.
That's the best thing I've read on The Standard in over three years, and perhaps my first comment on the site in about that long as well. It needs to be done.
Sadly cannot watch as it keeps going offline, or is it just me
Yep, and still alive when the payout is at $3.90. It's the best way to farm.
Some dairy farms are profitable at $3.90, having working expenses of $3.50. What annoys me is that DairyNZ analysis consistently ignores this. https://keithwoodford.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/controlling-dairy-farm-cost-of-production/#more-1409
Here's a parable. I know lots of local councillors, and I also know lots of planners, who work in local government. However, I know of no planners who become councillors, but plenty of councillors become planners. What does that tell you about where power ...
I can only hope so. I think we'll get a year of peace or so until de/selection season begins.
The best first-preference vote I ever made. I'm also pleased how quickly die-hard Robertson supporters have come around to Little, it shows that the divisions within the party are healing, primarily based on performance. We can start to smile again :)

Lol. Some on this blog would say im always annoyed. But no, ive fought this tunnel since day dot and I'm enjoying a single malt of success now. As are the rest of my colleagues in FMC. Everyone watch tv3
Why do left wing leaders have such a low level of confidence in their activists
I certainly hope that these years will be written off as an aberration, one never to be repeated. But that depends on two things: 1) Labour taking the fight to Key hard and unrelenting. You can expect Norman and Turei to do the same, but it needs to come ...
Yeah it has, quite well actually. The challenge I want to issue to NZ is to see a similar transition (and NZ has vastly more natural resources) within a democratic framework. Peak oil isn't a reason to throw out a fantastic democratic legacy, if anything, ...
I'm not normally in favour of handing title over to iwi on national parks and other large areas of conservation estate, but I did think that the Urewera / Tuhoe situation is quite unique, and wouldn't have resulted in any real practical change, aside from ...
Hillside and Hutt have extensive fabrication facilities. We can definitely build from scratch. I think Hillside have one of the most advanced metal foundries in the southern hemisphere.
Once upon a time our railway workshops *were* cutting edge, right up until the end of steam locomotive design and manufacturing in the 1950s. Railway companies from all over the world used to send engineers to Hutt, Addington (now closed), and Hillside to ...
Maybe New Zealanders are finally taking the red pill and waking up.
That area really is the Forgotten Coast. I've been through the area a bit, down the coast and also right through the Red Hills area. The Te Ara article isn't quite correct - the mining company managed a fair bit of prospecting, and some of the bulldozers ...
Not a bad idea at all. Although New Zealand doesn't have the best record with purchasing and retro-fitting ships - anyone remember the HMNZS Charles Upham. The new Canterbury had a lot of this functionality designed into it, except it's not proving to be ...
