The reason for the questions you complain about...is that they leave the gummint unable to know/be prepared for the follow up... This is the advantage to the opposition..
A financial-equation around the homeless - that not many are aware of: Let's take just ten homeless - those sleeping rough - in cars/vans etc. On paper each of those ten homeless would be eligible for emergency accomodation in a motel..at a cost to ...
Parker... .. enough with the chippy.. ..time for some serious..
I don't think labour taking a cgt policy into 2023 would have won them the election . They were kicked out 'cos of non-delivery on the policies/promises made that got them elected.. It's as simple/straightforward as that.. Cgt/wealth taxes are just part of...
Wot b.g. said..(long comment..)

Memo to labour:(an ongoing series) Talk to millennials/gen z...ask them what they want from a political party to gain their support.. Main reason being they are a large demographic bulge...lots of potential votes.. And they are also perhaps the worst ...
Labour's main problem is still the reason they were unceremoniously thrown out of office..six years of non-delivery on the promises they made..to get elected.. If labour had done what they promised then...they would still be in office.. So now...5 mins ...
As jimmy kimmel said to anyone trump asks to be his vice- presidential candidate: 'run..!...just run..!'
I am horrified that I said that...there is/I have no excuse.. As you say it was when you asked a question..I am guessing it was in a question time commentary...where I pretty much indiscriminately fired from the hip.. But as I say...no excuse...
I don't recall saying that..if I did I belatedly apologise.. (I must have been desperately grabbing for punchlines..) Do you remember the context..? You are one of the labour mps I respected..

So it only took forty years for this revelation for labour..? What took them so long...?
Um..!.. didn't you say you are ok with wearing 'animal products for clothing'..? That was what spurred my leather jacket comment..
I am definitely a vegan then...I tick all those boxes... ..I guess plant-based means wearing leather jackets..
No.. it's about having powerful/rational arguments... ..to bring about big change.. ..nothing at all like incrementalism..
Chrs... 'had' is a good word to use about all that... ..good to come out the other side..eh..? ..but the madness did have it's moments..
Heh..!..the dahl could be a big ask.. I am quite pleased about the ripple effect.. ..'cos those five kids will tell all their cousins/schoolmates.. ..who will tell their parents.. And of course.. hopefully those kids won't hit their kids.. ..(..they will ...
Lux-on is nothing like hitler.. Hitler garnered wide support from taking care of the German working class.. Lux-on wants to eviscerate the nz working class.. Nothing like each other...
How about a good news story..? I live out on the road..and as such I meet a wide variety of people.. ..a few weeks ago I met a patched gang member...who was in week two of meth withdrawal..and who is leaving the gang .. but is still wearing the colors.. I ...
A little bit of incrementalism'll sort it out..eh..? And nobody is talking about forcing anyone.. ..it is matter of winning hearts/minds.. ..and in this case the ongoing environmental breakdown is what will force change.. The people will demand it..
I have mixed feelings on the four year term.. As essentially now gummints usually get two bites of the apple..six years.. Whereas a four yr term gives the electorate more time to decide if the then current mob are a waste of space..or not.. ..and so save ...
I bow to your superior knowledge on such matters.. ..he was a tory..after all..

..'ethically raised meat and dairy' is pretty much an oxymoron..eh..? Are the calves sent to slaughter done so in an 'ethical' manner..? ..are the serial pregnancies forced upon the cows 'ethical'..? Is them being slaughtered when past their breeding prime...
Maybe starting at home is the best thing to do..? ..and these changes are being fought for internationally.. ..and as a major supplier to that international market.. ..it is down to us to change.. ..and be in no doubt..locally/globally these arguments ...
Good news about the post.. ..but..in this thread...surely we can't not talk of what is the elephant in the room..(that most studiously ignore).. And (tho' I can) I am not arguing this on ethical grounds.. I am arguing it purely on environmental impact ...
I fail to see any logic in what can only be seen as a shortsighted view/response.. All I can see is 'so there!'-fatuity.. Could you have another go..? And if your only answer is that I am in a minority... (!)....don't bother.. ..I already know how much I ...
Our biggest polluter is fonterra.. Which produces milk/cheese.. ..and is a key component in the supply of animals to the charnal houses.. So..I would repeat my contention that one of the most effective changes the individual can make.. ..is to eschew those...
A stellar example of thank you and goodbye is winston churchill.. He shepherded his country thru the war.. ..and the english electorate thanked him by promptly voting him out of office..
Or just folded into the mortgage...
