did Luxon say strong and stable government or SLOW and stable government. Imagine how long it would take if he wasn't 'experienced doing mergers and negotiations etc with AirNZ and Unilever'. And was it before christmas 2023 or 2024 that he wants to ...
might be wise for the leaders of Israel to remember what the Nazis did in Warsaw during ww2. some real similarities. regardless of the wrong on both sides, and there are wrongs and atrocities committed by both sides, if the Jewish leaders expect the world ...
well I'll be damned. sunlight dishwashing liquid, another thing we used to make in this country but no more
yup, my same thoughts. like an alcoholic waiting for the pub to open
yes. a "30% reduction" would occur if production remains static but be less if production increases. Any reduction is useful but the Fonterra announcement is not the silver bullet by any means. Much more is needed.
likely no to all of your questions. farming should be having a price on their GHGs by next year, instead they will have a 5 year 'cup of tea' from a government who seemingly cannot grasp the urgency that climate change requires. The climate isn't going to ...
I was also pleased to hear on the new tonight an story that Fonterra announced plans for a 30 percent intensity reduction in on-farm emissions from 2018 levels by 2030. This was a result of pressure put on Fonterra by the likes of Nestle who buy Fonterra ...
I saw on the news tonight how Waka Kotahi was swamped with emails via the hobsons pledge website complaining about the idea of road signs being bilingual. Should anyone not know, Don Brash is behind hobsons pledge. I checked out the page intending to send ...
leaders of Hamas need to go, corrupt Netanyahu and the religious hardliners around him need to go, zealots and fanatics on both sides taken out of the way. The US needs to keep it's nose out. Some pressure on Israel to open dialogue or no further US ...
tides going out on Luxon & Seymour and coming in for Hipkins & Greens Whether it's enough and whether it will shift enough of the undecided we shall see soon Either way it goes, Luxon has hashed the election campaign and gone from a strong majority with ...
It's going to be a rough evening for Luxon tomorrow. Either he sees his chances of being in government fade away and loses the 'unloseable election' or he has to ring Winston. Seymour must be stropping himself in anger and frustration atm. a month or a bit...
that could be to the lefts advantage. a swing left and fewer advanced votes, opportunity for more to swing left. not a bad thing at all necessarily having fewer advanced votes
happy to say today I vote for a government that will continue doing the work on addressing climate change, rather than a coalition of climate chaos which thinks it's ok the kick the can down the road another 5 years or pretend we don't have to worry about ...
need a 3 more % points to go left on these results once the wasted vote is stripped out the coalition of chaos can just get over the line a wee bit more % gone and suddenly the coalition of chaos are left short of govt and winston has some hard decisions ...
Hipkins call to rule out Winston First and then challenge Luxon to do the same was a cunning move. It's created no end of trouble for Luxon and lots of rancour from seymour
20 years of denial and inaction. that picture goes back to the mid 2000's. Still got deniers in their cabinet. For all Luxons talk about CC being real, no sense of urgency. If there was, agriculture emissions would be paying a price in 18 months time
join the dots back in time and see where they lead. back to 2008-17, nine years of a do nothing government on the climate change front. took things where the previous Labour government had left it there. no move on reducing agricultural emissions, no ...
Don Brash still hasn't found a rest home with a senile unit that will take him?
indeed, why can't National answer simple questions? why can't they release the costings for their tax policy? why when people look closely into their tax cut policy do we keep finding holes?
A simple line from Hipkins, "why won't Luxon release his figures. if they are rock solid why not release them". repeat over and over again
Holy heck, Mike Hoskins gave Luxon (by the standards of Newstalk National Party) a grilling this morning - will he work with Winston First. Luxon struggled to give a yes or no answer but essentially he said yes if he needs to - coalition of chaos. Btw you ...
if all people worry about is "that nice man Mr Luxon getting me some more" then no they won't. If people want to gauge if Luxon is honest and fiscally competent they would expect him to be open and transparent.
2 things Hipkins can hammer home tonight - (1) the number of days Luxon hasn't released his tax cut costings and (2) when will Luxon do the simple thing and release his tax cut costings
Bugger. I have been telling people this past week that the fiscal hole is $2 billion. I am now going to have to apologise and admit I was wrong and explain it could be as high as $3 billion
a slight change of focus but still Greens related. Anyone who is concerned about climate change should want the greens in givernment. Of the larger political parties (yes the Maori party will make progress but they are not larger), they are the one who ...
The great Nicola Willis Tax Cut quiz. Will you A. Borrow between $500 and $750 million to cover your tax cut fiscal hole? B. Borrow between $750 million and $1 billion to cover your tax cut fiscal hole? C. Borrow more than $1 billion to cover your tax cut ...
late last week saw some blokes waving nat party signs on a street corner. being a fair minded chap I wandered over and offered them $20, out of my own pocket mind, toward closing the $1 billion hole in their tax cut policy. Nicola Willis would only then ...
are they just hanging off a few days to see if a few more ACT conspiracy candidates resign so Winston First can snaffle them?
they have carried over Goldsmiths $4 billion funding hole from the last election by the looks
a lead item on the news last couple of nights about the gun register, common sense stuff from labour, national support it, act oppose it. went on to talk about their links to the national gun association.
yes they are at their core still the party for transferring wealth and privilege to the 1%ers
