Isn't the exponential increase in Public Service numbers in part at least caused by the exponential increase in immigration numbers over the past decade? In other words, it has been gathering momentum under both National and Labour governments, eventually ...
weka @ 1.1 Ideological. Small Government Syndrome. Getting the country ready for privatisation. Greedy, shallow, small minded, stupid, uncaring. No grasp of the consequences, or if they do they don't care.
Yes. A feeble excuse used by certain politicos and tabloid news outlets.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350249067/man-misidentified-bondi-junction-killer-hires-lawyers-sue-seven Good to hear! There's too much of this kind of crap going down and innocent people having their lives and reputations screwed up.
Stuck your head to far above the parapet? :)
It goes back decades Kay and wasn't confined to beneficiaries and low paid/casual workers. Individuals were also preyed upon. Especially if you were a member of the Labour Party and dared to express anti-nuclear sentiments and didn't join the 'Down with ...
Boring, boring boring.
RNZ Concert might be 'niche' but it's practically all that's left, and must be saved. As a supporter and listener I wholeheartedly agree. It keeps me sane in Auckland's traffic woes for starters.
Thanks to Ad, Stephen D and David for enlightening me.
Shit! I feel for him. Had something similar happen to me, but not over a crime of such a serious nature and it didn't play out in public. It is not only deeply distressing and hurtful, the consequences can play out for years afterwards. He should sue the ...
This attack was in retaliation for the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate annexe building adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, killing 16 people. This was part of Israel’s broader campaign to target Hezbollah assets in Syria since ...
Grey Area @10 Have to admit that was my reaction to the latest development too. Israel attacks an Iranian embassy with missiles - or something along those lines - and then loses it when Iran responds in kind. Ya know, if someone came along and punched me ...
Ditto. It took longer for those of us on the outside to recignise what was being done to Clare Curran. She was gaslighted to the point she could no longer function as the able person she had previously been. It is a well known mode of operation among ...
Iran has launched a wave of ballistic missiles towards Israel. A significant rise in tension for the entire Middle East? https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-68737710?src_origin=BBCS_BBC
I love an expert - a real expert - who has the guts to tell it like it really is. That interview should be mandatory listening on every media outlet in the country. And I can just imagine the adjectives he would liked to have used to describe that slime-...
I'm cynical enough to believe you CharlieB. :)
I agree. This situation suits NAct very well. Pretty much no competition any more. TVNZ journalists/reporters will know if they run stories which do not present the govt. in a good light they are likely to be dumped on by this govt., which has demonstrated...
Incog. @12.1 beats lprent on that one.
.... it seemed to me at the time that Southern and Molyneux received more attention by being cancelled than they ever would have by being allowed to speak. There is truth in what you say. Thank-you for the reminder. However some of that attention was the ...
It's got nothing to do with what I might think, and everything to do with the intention of the person/persons who come here to create unrest. The case I was thinking of was a couple of dubious characters from Canada who came here to spread extremist ...
He's trying to have a foot in both camps. It starts off reasonably and ends reasonably but in the middle he gets into the political element of the matter. I think local councils have every right to have a say in who is allowed to speak at council owned ...
"Where is the opposition? " Being studiously ignored by the MSM.
..they didn't explain to us what they were doing..and so didn't take us with them… Its not so much they didn't explain, but rather their explanations were too long and too academic in nature. Labour governments going back decades have tended to over ...
Yes and there will be more of them. That is inevitable. Someone needs to start a list of them as they happen for future use.
For more on the proposal to shut the Suicide Prevention Office, see yesterday evening's one news - first item: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/one-news-at-6pm/episodes/s2024-e97 So the ministries are being forced to take all the blame for the "confusion" ...
That's because some youngsters chose to use the occasion to protest about something else, no doubt without the knowledge of the organisers. Does that mean the school strike should have been called off because a bunch of kids turned up with flags that ...
It will start to happen in Auckland within the next ten years out of sheer necessity. As we move into an era where people simply cannot travel from one side of Auckland to the other due to permanently grid-locked roads, they will start screaming their ...
I thought so too.
Says it all. This lot are racist to the core of their beings. They will use weasel words to claim they are simply ensuring democratic processes to allow voters to have a say. As if voters have never had a say before. They hate 'malrees' cos they're scared ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
