Stuart, 1. You brought it up (deflecting?), and 2. You were completely wrong
Stuart, re your assertion that “absent government bail-outs”Luxon would have “broke” Air NZ, he was CEO from 2012-2019. Over that period the company paid two dividends every year TO the government, except for 2014 and 2016 when it also paid a third, ...
OK thanks
Do you propose this decade of disenfranchisement for parliamentary elections only? Local body elections? Club committees?
But isn’t the problem more specifically older Pakeha men not sharing power? Why don’t we just disenfranchise them for a decade?
But isn’t the problem that older Pakeha men aren’t sharing power? Maybe we should just disenfranchise them?
So “taking the vote off men for a decade” (i.e. 50% of the voting population) would “result in better representation”? Colour me very dubious.
“what evidence is there that that would work? The people that vote are still going to vote conservatively.” If you want young people, women, Māori, ethnicities and so on represented, the solution is to change the system, not disenfranchise men.
"trivialised women's reaction to babies" - point out where he did that. Wrong log-in, Serena.
I show you the body of Rob Muldoon, but I don't want to see your kiwi poo thanks.
Exactly - has a problem with same sex marriages. May or may not have a problem with same sex relationships per se.
We don't know that - she may have been OK with baking a cake for a civil union but not for a marriage (for the "reasons" above).
You know that and I know that - my point is that legally she didn't "refuse a good or service on the grounds of sexual orientation" wrt to Carolyn _Nth's link above - it was all about the marriage bit.
I'm dubious - she had no problem with their "sexual orientation", describing them as "fabulous and amazing people" - it was the same sex marriage that was the issue. Some Christians, although not too bothered about homosexuality, still believe that ...
Try to keep up, we call them interns now!
Anne, could you please give some of that "evidence based on observation over a long period of time"? Specifically, about the "younger generation (of the MSM establishment) having been the recipients of private school education at a higher than the national...
Matthew, checks against "environmental damage or subverting our Treaty obligations" shouldn't be restricted to overseas investors only, i.e. any changes to those criteria should be well away from the OIA and should apply to all.
wow cg, you are a very flexible fellow! From Waikeria Prison/3 strikes to the Gisborne rail line in three very short paragraphs. Keep up with the yoga!
Didn't think you would be in favour of youth rates, Ed! You surprise me.
Wrong log-in, Penny
I hear they bring the chlorine into Gisborne on great big trucks too.
So art, music, literature, drama - nothing? No joy (literally) from all of those as well? Isn't the giving of joy a use?
Sir Michael to you, peasant!
Because it's an important issue that should have been developed as Labour policy, and coalition consensus, well before now, instead of asking "for a bit more time". Your "now" may be different to my "now". :-)
No idea, I don't see it as one
The Government is at a critical point in its decision-making over the future of its oil and gas exploration permits. Jacinda Ardern said, when accepting Greenpeace's petition, "I ask now for a bit more time. We’re working hard on this issue and we know it’...
"and don't show me yours unless I ask to see it"!
1. I didn't "misquote" you, those were your words. "selective quoted" certainly, that was the sentence I didn't understand. 2. If you are being sarcastic please use a tag. 3. Your point? That you agreed with PM's “you’re not entitled to your opinion, you’...
Psycho Milt - "you’re not entitled to your opinion, you’re entitled to what you can argue for." Weka - "Anti-vaxxer opinions are just as valid as Lance O’Sullivan’s." Who to believe?
Totally correct and well expressed, Andre
Cinny, you were telling us "Nelson has had enough of Nick Smith" before the last election, and look what happened! And that "Alpha Andy" was the new messiah. Crystal ball might need a service.
