Just watched Luxon turn up, once again, with a knife for a gunfight! Predictably, he scored no shots. QT in the house. The man simply cannot think on his feet. He reads his questions from a prepared list, and merely gives Jacinda a platform for shouting ...
Lol. Newshub as a reliable source of unbiassed news? The Fox News of NZ. It's typical of the simplistic attitude of rwnj: a few payments go amiss - so what? But what about the 1.3 million or so payments that didn't, that have helped those struggling. I'd ...
Brownlee, I'm afraid, is in for a huge disappointment. It's highly unlikely that the Natz will form the next government; Natz and Act fall short of a majority (thank God) and there is no way TPM will go within a barge pole of an agreement with Act. So, at ...
"All her Christmasses came at once!" Kiritapu made Goldsmith look like a complete idiot!
Ha! Natz Bennet, a Luxon/Muller lookalike, lasted less than 10 minutes into QT today! But at least he found the exit without assistance! (Or at least, I hope so!)
... and to leave them alone. (Not quite sure that's the right... to the President - no, that's not quite what I have in...
More bitter and twisted, I think - and deluded into thinking the Natz would be better?
Just an observation: Mercenary Mitchell has been very quiet during QT in the house lately. Is it because he finds he can't puff and sneer quite so readily about Chris Hipkins as Police Minister as he thought he could against Poto? Has the bully boy been ...
Thank you, Robert. I was going to comment on the double negative.
Aw, c'mon Sanctuary, the Commonwealth Games serve as a pleasant distraction from the impending catastrophe of climate change - as do, for that matter, World Cup soccer and rugby tests, and so on. You've got to distract the masses, y'know, otherwise they ...
The Old Stone Town of Zanzibar must be similar - no cars at all, though most of the alleyways are way too narrow for normal vehicles. Lots of motorbikes.
It seems Luxon was hiding out in Te Puke when he was really having a little chin-wag (with Key perhaps) in Hawaii. Called in to get further instructions from the 'Smiling Assassin' maybe. But why the need to be deceptive about it? Oops - meant to be a ...
Good, well reasoned refutation of Luxon's tax cuts to the rich to curb inflation in NZ! SSDD from the Natz https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2022/jul/23/nationals-plan-for-new-zealands-inflation-crisis-is-merely-tax-cuts-for-the-wealthy?CMP=...
Don'tya just love nutcase conspiracy theorists? The right in NZ is entering Donald territory!
... fat cats pretending they’re not rodents but actually just delighted...
some people have great faith in capitalism and/or science to get us out of the mess. Carbon capture on a scale significant enough to save the world is just a capitalist billionaire's wet dream. We need comprehensive, binding and co-operative action from ...
As posted on Open Mike today (and by Gosman yesterday), a (im)practical way to tackle climate change. Impractical because the BAU people will never buy into it! But it could work if the world wakes up in time! "Fossil fuels account for three quarters of ...
Occasionally there are issues where opposition parties should put to one side their impulse to oppose and when something of major importance to the country requires a united front they should stand alongside the Government and support them, even if it ...
Stalin (I think) said: "One death a tragedy, a million deaths, a statistic!" Which goes a long way to explaining why we simply cannot (yet) envisage an end to the human species!
This link was posted yesterday by one of the rw idiots who frequent this site. It’s (in my opinion) one of the more perceptive and positive articles about combatting climate catastrophe, and was, predictably, described as a totalitarian hell hole by the ...
At the same time, we need to scale down less-necessary parts of the economy in order to reduce excess energy demand: SUVs, private jets, commercial air travel, industrial beef, fast fashion, advertising, planned obsolescence, the military industrial ...
Well, for my sins, I just sat through 49 minutes of corporate babble from Chrissie Luxon! I think I needed a babble-fish in my ear to interpret for me! I don't recommend anyone else doing so, except from the point of self-flagellation! But at about 10 mins...
Re-finance Kiwi Bank, give it the Government accounts, and get tough on the Aussie banks - appoint a banking commissioner (if there isn't already one). Apart from that, all of the above suggestions.
As someone said about NZ farmers: (It might have been Peter Fraser.) "They walked to the polling booths to vote us in in 1935, and drove to the booths to vote us out in 1949." Don't expect gratitude from NZ farmers.
The right have really got their knickers in a twist over the success of our wonderful PM. Their latest line is that she may be successful overseas but is a failure in NZ. As far as I can recall, the only success Key enjoyed overseas, apart from his comment...
I think you are being particularly unfair, Micky, in, by implication, belittling the achievements of past PMs. After all, Key did secure a round of golf with Obama - and all NZ reflected in the glory! /s
Never ever trust a religious fundamentalist! His 'god' will triumph over the needs of his constituents every time!
To be precise: "That is just internal self-management of the very worst I've ever seen. The straight process of that is shockingly internal management of keeping the old boys network running. Kim Jong-Un could learn a thing or two, he really could." ...
Janet Wilson dissects Goodfellow and the Natz. “The truth is Goodfellow represents a diminishing population niche; those who believe they are the entitled holders of power, holding grimly on.” Like most lefties, I would much prefer Goodfellow to be made ...
The perfect response! https://twitter.com/teacherspet1958/status/1542393509109346304
I have, and I couldn't!
