"One leader wanted to prevent further atrocities. The other leader wants to get re-elected no matter what." Why shouldn't she seek re-election?
So now it's not only the "right" people who should be hit over the head, but at certain acceptable times of the day/night.
the "wrong" people? So please tell us who you think the "right" people would be to receive this sort of treatment.
Some of the families who lost loved ones do not support this decision. That $38 M (assuming it doesn't balloon) could be spent in so many other says to benefit the living or save lives.
The term Hate speech does not appear in this legislation
"We have laws against hate speech". Sorry but you've golrized your facts there. No NZ legislation even defines hate speech. Please provide evidence of which ones do.
You are right that the 1986 Waitangi Tribunal ruling did not call for Te Reo to be made compulsory. To those saying Te Reo should be compulsory because it is an official language: It was explicitly promised by the government at the time of the 1987 Maori ...
All coral atolls are porous and shape-shifting. To suggest this makes them of little use is directly contradicted by the people who have used them for millennia. And global sea levels are refusing to accelerate beyond the 3 mm/year that has been measured ...
Well maybe those who are unconcerned about climate alarmism are looking at real-world evidence, like the fact that Tuvalu is actually expanding www.nzgeo.com/stories/tuvalu-rising/
Right, so Labour's promises of no further taxes beyond the six they've announced, may also be modified due to "post-election negotiations"
Hasn't Shaw got the memo? Labour says no extra pocket money until 2021.
Yes, Deborah Russell may just be that proverbial "next Labour PM, who isn't in parliament yet". Because it looks like Ardern has shot her bolt.
So for three days people have been voting for a Labour policy that is fraudulent? Are you sure this one won't be changed again before the 23rd?
Except that all of these things need a credible tax policy to underpin them. Slogans and photo-ops of Labour's latest "leader" with school kids don't cut it.
Then vote for TOP. Labour has no-one but itself to blame for this fiasco
Credible governments in waiting do not have messes that need tidying 9 days out from an election
So a week out, Labour has reverted to Andrew Little's position on taxes. What a humiliation for its new "leader" who has spent weeks staking the reputation on her "captain's call" for us to elect a working group. Maybe Labour should be honest and put the ...
Bad schools? then why not pay good teachers more , like ACT want? Labour just today stole ACT's policy of expanding the Urban limit, so plenty more where they came from
Nats are lying? Well all that Labour needs to do to show this is release its tax policy. Otherwise don't be surprised of voters fill in the gaps for themselves. You'll have no-one but yourselves to blame.
Mobilise in support of what? Policies that are either being withheld (tax) or grossly unfair-taxing today's poor to fund the education of tomorrow's rich (lawyers etc)
Trying to hammer that which does not exist is hard on your thumb
Yes, go out and tell voters why a small family firm must pay CGT while someone in a $5 million "family home" won't. I mean, that is Labour's policy, isn't it. Ardern certainly won't rule it out.
So explain to me how taxing poor workers in order to pay the "solo" parent benefit to someone shacked up with a millionaire (as the greens advocate) is remotely fair? [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or ...
Except there is zero evidence that any whale has ever been harmed by seabed mining, or oil drilling
But it shows she's not in control of her front bench. Whether she was in on it or not, the post-it note of "leader" on her forehead seems as loose as the previous four.
Where did you get this odd idea that food needs to be grown at the doorstep of a city in order to eat? This is not the middle ages.
Ah yes, the Kiwi dream. Stalinist apartment blocks clustered around railway stations
If you are not prepared to allow more land to build houses on, then you will see more people living in garages. It is as simple as that
"We will make sure that every leader who hesitates on climate will be seen as another Donal (sic)Trump". You mean one that wins elections?
Yes. Thanks to this clown, anyone with a tree they want removed will be a mug if they go through the proper channels (as the owners did) to get permission. Better to surreptitiously poison it and after a while, oh no, damned kauri dieback syndrome strikes ...
Then go ahead and break the law...and suffer the consequences. And he has.
