What, what - do you mean like this from 2022 which I understand is still the case ? ... https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2022/11/national-leader-christopher-luxon-very-comfortable-with-45-000-taxpayer-top-up-from-renting-office-back-to-parliament....
I wonder how much of the $95,000 spent to date since "Christopher Luxon came to power" was to enable Luxon and his 25 family members to use Premier House for several days for their 2023 Christmas bash? Although it has been reported that "Luxon covered all ...
MS - you might want to also correct your reference in the last para of the post from "Government House" to "Premier House". Government House is the official residence for the Governor General, not the PM. Cheers.
Thanks for putting up these two links to some of Luke Fitzmaurice-Brown's posts over the last week or so. I would highly recommend people read all of them to get the full picture. They are short and easy reads. This link provides the full series: https://...
Ooops, my comment at 7 was meant to be a reply to this comment.
Well put, Darien. As a former Wellington public servant, I spent a lot of time in the Parliamentary precinct over many years. The number of people going in and out of the precinct daily via the main non-swipe card access and security check process was - ...
It certainly seems to be the same - ie "our"! -David Seymour as the reference in the Atlas Year in Review 2008 linked to in Tiger Mountain's comment at 3 to "David Seymour (Frontier Centre for Public Policy, Canada)" aligns with the Wikipedia entry for "...

I agree that the whole thing is very complex with so many different factors and views etc. I had to go out yesterday but spent the night watching yesterday’s GAC Subcommittee A submissions and half the Subcommittee B ones – what else is there to do between...

"She has a regular Wednesday morning slot but refused to turn up today after she was advised about some rather public resignations by three senior staff." Not a criticism, Micky, but RNZ report that as " She pulled out of her usual Wednesday interview on ...

RNZ have a number of reports on this case which include very specific details of this man's movements, contacts with police, other prisoners and Corrections staff as well as the protocols used by Corrections at Mt Eden. This one in particular is useful in ...
I am not going to get into the ins and outs above re which language version of the TOW takes precedence other than to point people to the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigeneous Peoples in relation to this issue. Below is a link to a Q & A on the TOW ...
Good choice, Sabine! And Grey seems to have missed that you do take days (or longer) off from time to time, including just two days ago - on Sunday May 2. LOL https://thestandard.org.nz/search/%40author+%22Sabine%22/page/2/?search_comments=true&search_...
Are you suggesting that Sabine @ 1.1 and others above are "incorrect" when suggesting that the distribution of wild venison to food banks etc last year did not happen? Perhaps you should check your facts before hitting your keyboard. Here is a generic ...
Here it is - I watched about 15 minutes of it over someones shoulder yesterday on a computer screen. The technology was impressive – and fundamentally not the applicable to anything apart from racing. For instance I can't see any way to scale up the ...
This para should also have benn in quotes but edit time ran out After graduating from Massey University with a Bachelor of Communication, Dylan worked for Select Committee Services in the Office of the Clerk at Parliament where he developed knowledge of ...
If you mean by "these clowns" Blackland PR's Directors etc, once again you should check who you are talking about before hitting your keyboard. If you had done so, with your long association with the Labour Party, I would be surprised if you (and ...
Oops, forgot that there is still 6 days to go ... Take care and if the hammer drops, just laugh. Life is too short.

Kay, off topic but thought about you in particular - and several otheres on TS - when I saw this recrutiment ad on Health Navigator a day or so ago. https://www.healthnavigator.org.nz/healthy-living/h/health-consumer-advisory-service-recruitment/ In short ...
"If Labour think they can retain their broad centrist coalition over the long term y keeping the Greens at arms length, they just might." I think that is probably exactly what Ardern and her Labour colleagues are thinking from Ardern's press conference at ...
The Green negotiation will be more complex. My personal preference is that they enter into a formal coalition. The Greens will give the Government much needed focus on climate change and transport. Micky, that may be your preference, but having watched ...
A further statistic for you. As of the close of play yesterday, 16 Oct, a total of 1,976,996 advance votes had been cast. [This does not include overseas votes - or special votes IIRC.] This total represents 56.685% of the total enrolled voters from the ...
Robert, you must have missed the related article also on Newshub in the last 24 hours re the Taranaki Green School, ie https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/09/green-school-previously-turned-down-for-provincial-growth-fund-cash.html It seems that ...
