"Govt demands 6.5% cuts across the public sector". Meanwhile, HypoChris is looking to cash in.
It should have never come to this, this is what appalls me most about this outcome. While not necessarily verbatim, the sentiment allegedly issued by Duncan Webb is important. Labour being in government is the most important thing. Every other issue, ...
You could can be "hardworking" and "well-qualified" and ambitious all you like, but that doesn't automatically mean you become a high earner/well to do. And just as much, there are a lot of people who are the opposite to this, lazy, stupid, and entitled ...
These people need to have a serious self-examination of their beliefs and approach to life (if they are capable of that). For too many, their problem isn't necessarily their beliefs, but their egos. They simply don't want to be told that they are wrong. To...
This press conference reminds me of one in 2006 in Australia - is Willis the Gillard to Luxon (KRudd)?
While the government is proceeding well at attacking the housing crisis from the supply end, now is also the time to consider tackling the demand side. Now traditionally, a lot of investors and elderly people keen on low risk investments would put their a ...
If it was the 90s you could have "Party of Five" Million - although you might get into some copyright issues.
I seriously doubt whether Seymour is actually racist - remembering that libertarians worship at the altar of extreme individualism - and I posit that he probably personally agrees with the concept of priority access for Maori (especially considering the ...
Thats what Key successfully attempted if you all remember - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/underclass-focus-of-keys-first-big-speech/GVIM7QG353H4OHZRVTDT4TV7VQ/ Not that it was it all genuine - just a cynical attempt to reach voters who put "caring about ...
Luxon isn't the Key analogue. He is the Brash analogue - a radical wrapped up in a nice presentable package. The difference is that Brash was an economic conservative whereas Luxon is a social conservative. If he becomes leader, he might rebuild some of ...
He could be in charge of opposition prep. Get the rest of caucus ready for the more rabid media.
"On another note about the panic and scaremongering of border worker testing which has proven so far to be a negative issue with no detected infection isn’t It about time that the police and other agencies started looking seriously at the possibility that ...
Labour should immediately include this in their Election spending and use a slightly altered version as their party vote billboard. vote aroha vote ardern party vote Labour.
The fault of this breach lies with these two women, not the health professionals, or those monitoring them. They asked for a compassionate exemption to the quarantine knowing full well that one of them had COVID like symptoms. However, they downplayed it ...
Rail needs to be looked at in more than just as a pure business case - as it currently - the muddling through, non-committal viewpoint. You either totally mothball it and close it down where it is not profitable, perhaps maintaining links so that rolling ...
A correction. Outside your own dwelling/property, investing in real estate was uncommon. 85 to 90 pc of houses were owner occupied. This number is now trending under 60 pc. Hell, the government would be still better off if it offered disaffected former ...
In actuality, the problem boils down to one unavoidable truth, and can be unwound with one unavoidable measure: Residential Housing in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s was generally not a widespread vehicle for private investment. A few law changes and a general ...
The pretences of an actual political party are becoming harder and harder to see, essentially now seeking to emulate United Russia as "the party of crooks and thieves".
Wrecking ball.
The question we should be all asking is: Is the oil industry delivering kickbacks to the Soper(s) and Hosking(s) columnists in order to get anti-government oil & gas sector opinion pieces published ad nauseam?
This fallacy trotted out by the usual suspects that "the situation is complicated", "anti-semite", and "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East" - is piffle. It does not excuse in any way the responsibility of the Israeli government to get ready ...
... have to indicate which particular policies from the CDU/CSU are...
The National Party ad of Twyford talking about taxes isn't going to scare swing voters. Swing voters know that good public services and infrastructure need to be paid for, and as long as it doesn't impact the family home (which it doesn't) then ...
It simply seems that a lot of erstwhile Labour voters have decamped to Winston, just like in 1996. It's that 4% he got in 1999 and in 2008 that are his hard core. With NZ First's end nearer than its start, Labour may need to make space again for a social ...
Re: Stacey Jones - You would have thought that a political journo would know better huh? But there was that infamous one party majority that was achieved on the election night 2014 (subsequently came back to 60, and then 59 by March 2015) that may have ...
ACT: It's not just our policies that are hard to swallow. ACT: Whilst effective against pregnancies and STI's - these condoms wont protect you against our policies.
This announcement is a convoluted mess. Essentially a doubling-down on the baby bonus which got little or no traction last time. Labour should have announced at the very least an identical package (to the Nats) with a higher top bracket for the rich pricks...
This is bullshit - they (or someone else) just need to get on to it. The government could easily lease land on the outskirts of Auckland (near Drury perhaps), and contract a consortium to build several Kaikoura style temporary accommodation camps that ...
Third-termitis really beginning to bite now - just how arrogant are these people? BTW Nicky - I'm sure if Duncan has his way you'll have a lot more time to peruse the harbour.
"What's left of my integrity."
Autocorrect I meant nats.
