With the US Senate having now passed the Inflation Reduction Act, I'm curious from those in the know about whether there will be good ripples to assist reduction of carbon emissions in NZ? Awaiting the House vote, of course, but how much impact will $360 ...
Short sigh, as he remembers how great STV would have been
@ScottGn - who's saying that on Twitter, Scott?
Which "party insider" was the tweet from @ScottGN?
Where is Jason Ede?
@Chris - I presume a "DP Player" is an actor in the Dirty Politics drama. I too would like to see action to prevent a repeat of Dirty Politics, especially if it came from Parliament rather than Jim Mora. And by the way, Where is Jason Ede?

They need coalition partners, basically, and they ain't got none. ACT needs to recruit a rockstar or John Key or someone, or poach an existing MP. Not looking likely
Hear hear
Would have taken a lot more - see https://cutyourhair.wordpress.com/2017/10/04/realistic-possibilities-for-parliament-post-specials-all-two-of-them/
I reckon Chloe Swarbrick's line was pretty good, too: "When speaking about parties' inaction on climate change, during the campaign, new Green MP Chloe Swarbrick said: "Saying you want action on climate change and still allowing new consents for oil ...
What kind of demented troll stalks a left leaning website at 6.01pm to gloat in unhinged and delirious glee at others' potential misfortune? You should be ashamed of yourself and go book an appointment with a shrink
The official graph has been updated for yesterday's voting: http://www.elections.org.nz/events/2017-general-election/advance-voting-statistics They haven't given the actual number, but it's well over 100,000. That's massive!!
Over on the thread about Euthanasia and Suicide, there's some interesting discussion about the role of religion in NZ Politics. This reminded me that I read a brilliant article on the Daily Kos website yesterday about the pervasive myth that 81% of ...
Nicely put, Hanswurst.
There's a Roy Morgan due towards the end of next week, they say: https://mobile.twitter.com/roymorganonline/status/904538155302432768
Roy Morgan say their next poll is due late next week: https://mobile.twitter.com/roymorganonline/status/904538155302432768
The Radio New Zealand article explaining their poll of polls makes the point that the Colmar Brunton poll was taken later than the Reid Research one, even though the CB was released earlier. As a result, it's disingenuous to deduce from these two polls ...
This is a better link IMHO http://blog.ucsusa.org/rachael-nealer/gasoline-vs-electric-global-warming-emissions-953 Their graphs show that battery cars use 51-53% fewer emissions over the car's lifetime than petrol cars, and that's in the USA where a lot ...
But if you had to aspire to be anyone, Apirana Ngata would be pretty hard to beat... Greatest New Zealander ever??
Colmar Brunton leans right, a touch, doesn't it? Need Roy Morgan, where Greens often are overstated, to get wider picture
The hints are that it's not so good for the Greens, or maybe NZF as well: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/todays-1-news-colmar-brunton-poll-fascinating-politcal-editor-corin-dann
Anyone know when the next Roy Morgan poll comes out? Must be due soon.
Must be a new Roy Morgan poll out soon. Anyone got any ideas?
David Parker, BM? He's the brainiest person in this parliamentary term, Key included
I still can't get over the fact that the so-called "Inner Mongolia Rider Horse Industry" is the Nats' largest donor in the past two years. I think if more voters knew that, there'd a few more raised eyebrows at the polling booth. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/...
I'm with Muttonbird. No legislation, no matter how carefully drafted, can avoid the problem of people reluctantly consenting to die so that they are no longer "a burden". That's the nature of humanity: we are a burden to one another, and it's our privilege...
Oh thank you - good spotting.
Anyone got a subscription to www.telegraph.co.uk ("that fascist rag" as the newsagent described it to me in Glasgow!)? There's an article in there today available only to subscribers, headlined, "Billionaires think they can survive the apocalypse in New ...
@Tarquin: The Christchurch Earthquake donation was one hit-and-run donation that looks very much like a bribe. I would rather take the 20 refugees. My wife works with refugees, some of whom have become friends. One Afghani guy has been here about 15 years....
I think there are real questions to answer here about whether Thiel's citizenship h as been granted in contravention of the law. Could there be a judicial review of the Minister’s decision, funded like Nicky Hager's defence by a crowdfunding campaign? Matt...
