It does seem a bit odd: White female Minister misleads Parliament, hides meetings, and unorthodox means of communication on 3 occasions is not considered guilty enough to be dismissed - holds onto Warrants for 7 months and only leaves after choosing to ...
Interesting about his plans to move to NZ dating from 2017. A question I would pose to anyone seeking ex-Minister Curran's gmails via the OIA is how far back do her gmail correspondence with Handley go? And if she had him earmarked for this position in ...
A bit of an awkward caption to this post given events of this afternoon. It seems the only party of deviousness and dishing out the biff seems to be NZ Labour. (Thanks Clare and Meka)
In relation to that, how would it apply to the Green party with 2 co-leaders? Say a situation arose whereby both co-leaders wern't happy with each other and sought a 2/3 caucus majority to expel each other from Parliament - what then? This law makes the ...

She's too busy trying to shut down charity concerts. A bit of noise is far more important than saving the lives of babies.
You can describe Joshua and Parker as a lot of things but definitely not poor. If you look at the pay cheques they receive they'll end up a lot richer than most people watching it.
No net benefit? Tell that to the tens of thousands of farmers, farm staff, ancillary industries, and contractual staff who derive an income from the dairy industry. Not to mention billions into the government's coffers from the associated income and gst ...

So does that mean Kirton's below average response which has ended up embarrassing the PM and the party mean that he's a Nat plant as well? Maybe the 4 victims are in on it too? Maybe Simon Bridges dropped off a trailer load of free booze to precipitate it ...

In the same way actors in a movie who appear to get beaten up aren't actually beaten up. If you arrange for someone to come and 'grope' you in order to capture this on video this is a form of implied consent. A question for you: If this indeed was a case ...
We were caught in the same jam and I had the same thought. I think the problem is the highway narrows back to a 2 way road directly after the tunnel and so the 2 into 1 has to occur somewhere. With the amount of traffic heading north you would think an ...

Soper's point is that this clause was in the hidden agreement clauses which haven't been publicly released.
My reading of Soper's words, "And if she for some reason can't go on calling them herself then the coalition deal sees him stepping up to the plate - Prime Minister Winston Peters" doesn't read as a temporary fill in position. It seems to infer that if ...

Interesting information from Barry Soper today. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11950984 Seems like if Ardern decides to step down then Peters is next in line to be PM. Apart from making a meal of comments by Ardern that the ...
Takes a bit of a mindset change when your favourite bogey monster is no longer in charge. You then have to start changing to defend your team who are in power and try and defend all their decisions - both wonderful and woeful. Kind of like when the US went...
I think the biggest issue from this story is not the Chinese name story itself but the blatant lack of standards shown by the Herald editors. They are told by their own that the story is based on a false premise and should be identified as such however ...
