By "repairs", I assume you mean roads being rebuilt to a more resilient standard. That is, adaptation. I would prefer that Hipkins was brave and reinforced the importance of rebuilding resilient and enduring infrastructure.
I never thought I’d see so many woeful apologist arguments for Winnie and Shane on The Standard, but it has been a funny old year.
What about National... what about “cretinous leader”... what about... what about... oh look, a squirrel! Listen to yourselves. Pathetic.
As a father of two daughters and the brother of a sister systematically abused in her workplace over a number of years, I can assure you I’m not using this as a point scoring exercise. Having mopped up the consequences of this toxic shit one too many times...
Robert, are you able to point anywhere in my post to my "seeming delight"? No, didn't think so.
This sounds horrific for the alleged victims involved. https://thespinoff.co.nz/unsponsored/09-09-2019/a-labour-volunteer-alleged-violent-sexual-assault-by-a-senior-staffer-this-is-her-story/
Impossible to argue with any of that.
I find it really weird that you wouldn't toll this road. To say that too many would use the alternative route ignores the fact that the alternative route is an absolute dog. At say $3 a vehicle per trip, I would have thought most private passenger vehicle ...
Now who's not being kind, Robert?
what about... what about... whereas... what about... KiwiBuild???!
If expecting Ministers to remain accountable for the election promises they made is "fighting the good Blue fight", then I'm certainly guilty.
Hard to say. Dr Woods has been completely invisible where KiwiBuild is concerned. The Property Institute even had to cancel a webinar that she'd agreed to present at on the basis that she was a no-show, so that would be a NO in relation to being on side ...
Nice article, Robert. I generally think that the importance of accountability is also key for Ministerial positions where responsibility for flagship Government policy lies. I don't believe that kindness trumps accountability, which is why the current ...
Apologies. You are of course correct. So many people circulating through this department that it is really difficult to keep up. I wonder how long Megan Woods will be in the chair.
So the word around Wellington is that Helen O'Sullivan finishes up as Head of KiwiBuild at the end of August. She only started the role in February! What has happened to the re-set? This is turning into an unmitigated shambles. Twyford's arrogance is ...
Aha - they’ve doctored the video! This in spite of you not having seen it Anne. Of course they have! And Palmer is a corrupt puppet of the Establishment! Of course he is! And, and and... I’m having trouble keeping up.
Didn't you read the link? I am serious. Hager even admits in the article that "some of them are probably true" in ref the 105 errors. Hardly the work of a credible investigative journalist. What will you say when Palmer and Arnold dispel Hager's theories? ...
Looks like they're about to be proved wrong. 105 times.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12163270 It looks like Hagar and Stephenson are about to be shown up for the serial, brazen bullshitters that they really are.
$64million spent on 34 BMWs with bum warming seats... So, $1.882 million for each BMW. Seems expensive...
Those are all valid points, KJT. Which just reinforces the fact that Kelvin should not be the Acting PM, ever. Rightly or wrongly, we expect our Acting PMs to be able to explain a point of view, or policy, or decision. Kelvin doesn't seem to be able to do ...
Too right. 300,000 logged rides since introduction of Lime and 66 ACC claims, of which we don't seem to know how many are more serious than cuts and bruises. Cf any Saturday in winter time - how many rugby related ACC injuries are there EVERY single week? ...
This is hilarious. Espiner doesn’t even need to try and confuse Kelvin – Kelvin does it to himself. https://www.radionz.co.nz/audio/player?audio_id=2018670946
You’re seriously swimming upstream on this one, Muttonbird. Her actions are sneaky. Ardern needs to bin her. Sooner rather than later. This story has more legs in it yet.
Ha! Having a gmail account to conduct Ministerial work when you are the Minister of Open Government is considered “beltway”. Have you lost your mind?
Or the full story of David Benson-Pope shoving a tennis ball into a kid's mouth, since you seem keen on ancient history. More relevant would be finding out what happened at the Labour Youth Camp, but that has been brushed under the carpet.
"There are some good things to note in this situation, however." Wow. You reckon?
No. Do your homework. Marginal strips (1987 Conservation Act) move with the waterway. s58 (Land Act 1948) strips are immovable. So many clowns (clearly who don’t understand the backcountry of NZ) putting their ignorant views forward.
There is plenty of publicly owned conservation estate all over NZ that few people are prepared to walk to. And long may that last. Keeps the dickheads out and allows those of us prepared to put the hard yards in to enjoy it, without half of Queenstown ...
The interesting point about the Hunter Valley case, that nobody seems to be picking up on (or is willfully ignoring), is that there is access to that conservation land already, via marginal strip. That provides for walking access. But no, people are no ...
DOC isn’t bringing a prosecution because, just like Forest & Bird, it isn’t a relevant party to any proceedings. And on the face of it, what Thomas has done isn’t illegal, so there is that too.
