Sledging is something that the Australians are good at.
The following extract is from the editorial in the British Medical Journal. You can see how the Herald has screwed the content to get its own anti-commie, red under the bedders, like James, all excited. As Terry Eagleton argued in Why Marx Was Right (2011...

Dr Brash has once again displayed his arrogance and his ignorance. Why doesn't he avail himself of the opportunity to attend a class in Te Reo, and while he's at it he can encourage Wililam Gallagher to. do the same. Learning something new will help stave ...
Philip Lyth @philiplyth Simon Bridges crying foul over changes to select cites? In Aug, he was Minister moving the motion for the change."
Sanity prevails at last.
There has been an unseemly rush by Todd McClay to push this TPPA through. The additional costs for Pharmac plus the extended copyright period were instigated by the US, so why should NZ voluntarily sign an agreement which gives privileges to the US which ...
@Wayne: I accept that you have managed to create a justification for your belief in the invisible black hole that wasn't evident to Cameron Bagrie, Ganesh Nana, Dr Vernon Small, Keith Ng, Brian Fallow, Bernard Hickey or Shamubeel Eaqub. I was impressed by ...
Jim Bolger talks of the "responsibility" of the Greens to negotiate with National. What about the "responsibility" of National over the last 9 years to ensure that there were no shonky carbon credits, the responsibility to ensure that cattle numbers were ...
And just where do the policies line up? Education, Immigration, Trains?
You're dreaming!
It is what constitutes " a fair whack" that is the issue, David C.
Bill English and National have lost their moral compass. A win at all costs trumps any pretence of honesty for National. Time for them to go!
Good on Paddy Gower for pointing out this deliberate lie. It is not fair to blame those who believe Bill English when he lies. Most people would expect their MPs to be honest even if giving a more favourable view of their own policy, but the behaviour of ...
It would be interesting to know whether donations to the Taxpayers' Union included ones from the soft-drink manufacturers, since Jordyn Williams was actively opposing the meetings discussing sugar tax.
Interesting article on the Taxpayers' Union by Peter Aranyi on how they are being funded. http://www.thepaepae.com/on-the-nz-taxpayers-union-inc-pr-attack-machine/37856/
Guyon's "interview" of Jacinda was appalling! He talked over the top of her and didn't wait for the answers. It was embarrassingly bad.
Anyone who thinks that tax is the most important issue of this election will be voting National or Act regardless. Anyone who thinks that National has failed on climate change water quality environmental degradation homelessness, housing inequality ...
Are you referring to the rise in GST lied about by National? Or the fact that it was supposed to be fiscally neutral?
Another aspect totally ignored is the fact that many students in private or high performing secondary schools have been "privately coached" for the exams. This is typically ignored by those who promote results based performance pay. This ability to ignore ...
+1, Ed
The National Government are incredibly keen on tourism ($$$$)but, at the same time, have pursued policies which are totally opposed to the preservation of the very features that draw tourists to NZ and which threaten to destroy the advertised clean green ...
After three years, Labour MP Sue Moroney's bill to extend paid leave to 26 weeks will be voted down by National and ACT in Parliament tonight. An amendment to that bill would have seen it also extended to people in special circumstances. ACT Party leader ...
Quite frankly, I have been sorely "tried and tested" over the last 9 years and am looking forward to some greenness, enthusiasm and ability to listen in a new government. National have ignored evidence based advice and seem to be stuck in the last century,...
He is also suggesting that there is a mood for a change, that National will lose, perhaps to get those intending to vote for NZ First to swing to National to save the day. Tricksy.
Just to clarify matters, can you confirm that the Tax Payers' Union does not have any soft drink manufacturers as a donor?
Just to clarify matters, can I ask if any of the soft drink manufacturers are donors to The Tax Payers' Union?
@Jordan Can you justify why you are opposed to a tax on sugary drinks which would save the taxpayer by reducing the incidence of diabetes, plus reducing the amount of surgery required for the extraction of rotten teeth in children? So far the only argument...

I see Chris Finlayson is trying to scare voters that Labour's water policy will stir up Treaty of Waitangi issues. National are using the Audrey Young column. Treaty warning over Labour's water tax Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson is warning ...
