Labour should fear the fact that despite a perfect storm against National the blues still have a strong support base. The Prime Mumester and her smile honey moon will fade. NZ has not had a one term Gov't since the 1972 Kirk Gov't so a minimum of 2 terms ...
Labour's hold on Government is based on a 73 year old maverick MP who's party won 0 electorate seats and who 93% of the country did not vote for. National should cruise to victory in 2020.
Jacinda and this Labour NZF coalition are doing a great job. looking to forward to another 4-5 terms.
Polytechs like Universities and indeed most educational institutions are on the way out as the digital age really kicks in. Learning online will see 95% of students of all ages learning from home with 2-3 week block courses in local or regional hubs for ...
Simon bridges is no more Maori than Winston Peters Shane Jones, Paula Bennett or Ben Couch who are/were as white as it is possible to be brown. None were elected because of their Maoriness but because of their perceived lack of Maoriness by the white ...
Labour is (on the face of it) returning to its basic roots with the well being agenda. However by meeting with business and farming they are also adding more substance to the rebuild and broadening appeal and making it harder for National to label Labour ...
Yes, they want pretrained workers desperate enough to commit to a lifetime on the minimum wage. Which won’t even pay their rent. lol
A strong socialist collaborative approach runs through this plan. I like it
"Sunny but clouds gathering" So everything is as it is in Kiwi land. Sate of the Nation speeches like Budgets announcements are heavy on build up but boringly predictable. Gov't supporters say everything is on track. Gov't opponents say wheels are coming ...
Don Trump is just doing his job. Overall a top bloke I am sure you will all agree. Great smile too.
You need to be more positive. All this negativity is vexing for the soul. I by comparison am a half glass full man. But if you want to always be a sad sack so be it. Just read my comments and be inspired.
Ceasar came here in 27 AD The Egyptians in 2700 BC Africans came here in 5000 BC Aliens landed 30,000 years ago. The truth is Chinese were here first 67,572 years ago. This land belongs to the Chinese. They can now migrate here in their tens of millions ...
Youngsters should be encouraged to learn about life. They should be encouraged to see that people see life differently and the same depending on time place and circumstance. Learn about New Zealand from 1505 to 2020. Learn from a wide range of sources. ...
The allied bombing of Germany was largely ineffectual until 1944 when Germany had no planes left. The Italian and North African campaigns were irrelevant. The U.S.S.R. won the war.
Jo actually got rid of most of his officers before WW2. But your right U.S.S.R. won the 2nd WW. Britain got beat in 1940 in France and only came back in 1944 when it was all over. The USA came in late in 1944 too like they did late in the 1st WW in 1917. ...
E oa kei te paparakauta ke koe ? Bit early to be down the rubidy dub. :)
The truth is God existed for a trillion years then became lonely. So he created a man from dust (adamah) the earth in his own image and called this man Adam. Then Adam took a rib out of himself and made a woman. She was called Eve. All done. This should be...
Fighting fire with fire. Works though as your answer proves.
@Jenny. You are clearly a Germany supporter. Barracking for your own team is good. So who won the game USA or Germany?
It will be interesting to see if the rural mainly white community in Nelson Marlborough receive the same massive financial subsidies all white dairy, sheep + fruit farmers have received from the Government these past 150 years.
That's fine for you. 40 years of Maori bashing is not your experience so you don't have to worry about it. Just carry on living in your la la land the default position of those who refuse to see the truth. Soon enough there will be an issue which annoys ...
"No good being cynical" – we need to press on with the positives? Sorry if I am not bouncy feel good today. 40 years of negativity toward Maori from the Pakeha press + 40 years of negative attacks from the white National party and right wing hate talk ...
Prior to 1975 Waitangi day was hardly observed. It was a day off school or work. Since 1975 Waitangi day has been Maori bashing day. The media has focused almost entirely on protests at Waitangi. 99% of Maori are not at Waitangi but 99% of media coverage ...
I think I read this article in 1973,1983 !995, 2007 and 2014. Different writer same article. The "news' is so formula this could be taken from any economic forecast from any media outlet any year since 1969. 50 yeas the same "news" the same responses. deja...
Good report.
One thing I have noticed is teenagers are not exactly ecstatic when offered broccoli, broad beans, silverbeet Brussel sprouts. Until kids want to eat what is in the garden why plant more gardens? I also notice how now days they ignore trees laden with ...
I am confused. Surely the picnic at Myers park should be called the immigrants picnic? Why is it being called the migrants picnic? Negative stereotype of immigration perhaps? Interesting that both events are being held on the same day. Be interesting to ...
@ianmac . Not at all in fact I have enhanced my view that there are different ways of seeing things. I like the "proposals" but Newton's third law states: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That's why waiting to see the proof of the...
@ianmac Re the article by Graham Adams on Noted. I did not note any perception in the article. Just the usual selective bias cherry picking info and juxtaposition to " prove" a point Some one else comes along and through similar cherry picking ...
After 50 years following politics I am skeptical of promises. 1. With all policy/promises until it has been active for 2-3 years we just don't know. 2. As with all policy/promises there is often the give with one hand and take with the other. 3. How will ...
To be fair for a 67 year old the make up artists do a decent job on Mike Hosking.
