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.

Here's an early Xmas present, Phillip, before you get yet another dawn raid late night mod raid and possibly a compulsory 'holiday' – link to Morning Report article on Robertson's interview this morning which contains the link to the audio. First half of ...
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 ...
That Sydney Morning Herald article is interesting - here is the link https://www.smh.com.au/national/nz-s-coronavirus-modelling-offers-clues-to-australia-s-confidential-plans-20200331-p54fmv.html Totally unrelated - there is also an article on JA and ...
Exactly, Paddington. I thought that I had sent a query to I asking how he/she knew that "most of that gear" etc but it seems to have disappeared into the ether ...

Cheers, Treetop Hang in there.
Essential Services and Deliveries etc during the shutdown https://covid19.govt.nz/latest-updates/media-release-further-guidance-on-essential-services-provided/ This link issued last night and updated earlier today gives a little clarity on things like ...
Relates to TT's comment at 10. I expect that all ACC reviews etc have been/will be suspended over this period - probably through the urgent emergency legislation going through the House this afternoon. I posted a couple of ACC Covid-19 links at 10.4 for TT...
Treetop, I haven't got time right now to check the ACC links below for details re ACC reviews, but hope the links may help you. I note that while they are closing as ACC is not considered an essential service, you can still contact them with questions ...
Courts and COVID-19 Mention was made in the comment at 18 that prompted my one at 25 re WINZ, that all Courtrs except District Courts were being closed down. The Court situation is actually a lot more complex than what was stated at 18 and is still being ...
WINZ Ongoing Services Contrary to rumours, misinformation etc here and elsewhere, WINZ has NOT closed down completely. MSD/WINZ has been designated an essential service. Like many other Goverment departments also classed as essential services, it has ...
Well said, Rosemary
Woolworths introduced this from 7am to 8am in their Australian supermarkets last week for elderly and people with disabilities etc. Countdown here is part of the Woolworths group but did not intend to introduce it here according to their management a few ...

Re the flights used by people in NZ who have now been confirmed or are suspected of having the virus, the flight information in this list is probably far more relevant than the lists of overall flights in and out of certain airports on certain dates. . ...
I spoke briefly on the testing capacity to a neighbour in the know in this area - high up in the pathology area (practical and medical school) - who did not say what it was but indicated that it has been and is being ramped up as a top priority. She will ...
Did Twitter actually say that 1500 per day was the limit of our testing capability? Dr Bloomfield, D-G of Health, confirmed that 1500 tests were completed yesterday and overnight at his press conference at 11am when he advised that: a further 13 cases had ...
Thanks. FYI or lprent's, it just did it again with my reply to Rosemary McD at 6.2.1.1.3.1 which again popped up twice - one with the ability to edit and one with no ability. Deleted the one with the ability to edit after checking all OK. Will see what ...
Agree re the stinging etc! But would certainly not use meths pre injecting or near eyes ... And it does not come in small sizes like hand sanitiser for popping in a pocket or bag. I recently did a search through the house, and in bags etc and came up with ...
Ooops - don't know how that double posting happened and its too late for me to delete one!
"Nobody needs fucking hand sanitiser" and "Why are people so goddamned stupid" I agree that soap and water - and proper washing and drying - is a better way to clean hands but there are situations where hand sanitiser is a convenient - dare I say it a ...
Well the fish are biting well today! I certainly agree that hand sanitiser is no match for good gin with your tonic water, LOL
I think I heard on RNZ National in the early hours of the morning that there had also be a major run of sales of freezers - but not about to try to find a link for this. Some will be much more concerned about this innovative change in direction by a ...
