Attended the event at Albert park. The protesters were geared with every noise device known to man/women/ other which included drums, whistles,pots,loudhailers,etc with the sole purpose of making sure no-one would hear Posie Parker. And they didnt. A ...
"It would be beyond anything that humanity has imagined." Humanity has already imagined it. Check out the eye witness descriptions of the people who survived Nagasaki and Hiroshima!! Also I was 16 at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I lived the spine ...
I have not predicated my prediction on the degree of support or otherwise of China for Russia. Also I fail to see any evidence of Russia being a vassal of China. Perhaps you can show us such evidence?
There have been various predictions of the end resultof the conflict.. Here is mine.My qualifications: I have a Degree in History, am a trained history teacher, and have been studying History for over 55 years. The Ukraine and Nato will lose. Russia ...
Context is everything.To understand the Ukraine invasion we need to examine the reasons for the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Then we were 2 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday clock. I was 16 ,and not surprisingly I took a close interest in events. The ...
Good luck with your treatment. You trust the professionals to give you what they think you need for your condition, and when, according to their knowledge. The protocol for the Covid jab was not to have the first one, followed by the 2nd one the next day, ...
Or that failing papers in economics at university and graduating in zoology makes you God's gift to economics and makes you the best Minister of Finance ever. As well as a political guru for the age. (Steven Joyce)
No, that's saying they would be not commenting further. No doubt to stop the mindless continuation of the story. But of course that would inevitably lead to other mindlessness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HB7zqP9QNo
Duff was continually shouted down by an obnoxious Maori? Things have got worse since? Yeah, obnoxious shouting people down Maori are common. Obnoxious any-other-ethnicities shouting people down are very rare. In fact do they exist at all?
Why? Oh I see, if he's silly enough to go into a shop on a day they're not having their "30% off everything" he should just pay the ticket price, or wait until the inevitable sale comes. Or he should pay the ticket price because he's a rich bugger? Or he ...
He sure as hell can't go into a shop to buy something like a new battery for the car. The price on the tab is $295 and he says to the shop assistant, "How about $280?" Somewhere overhears that and soon it's in the headlines, "PM's partner bullies shop ...
Let's run with wondering about the "first time" shall we? See how long it takes to get back to you, when someone says to you, "He's always' doing it." That's how it works. Recently I've seen a pieces of ridiculousness online which have been quoted to me as...
"The PMs fulla acting like Jake The Muss to try and force a chemist to acquiesce"? Anyone'd think he had a protest outside the guys shop with a whole lot of throbbing Harleys ridden by a crew wearing darkglasses and black. I can't wait until the end of ...
American Shane Chafin got to Kawakawa to demonstrate his particular brand of stupid in his heckling of Jacinda Ardern and there are rabid anti-vaxx pockets and flourishing ignorance through Northland. Kerikeri is no exception,.
They can't really still ban or send Djokovic away can they? Regardless of what transgressions or wrong things they find they can't expel him. Why? Because there'd be riots against that.
I smiled at the finish in Mark Reason's piece about Djokovic. He'd praised the attitude of Nick Kyrgios who'd said of the Serb , “At the end of the day, he is human. Do better.” Then Reason finishes: "Let’s remember, in the name of Arthur Ashe, that the ...
Democracy doesn't work. We need decisiveness and positive action. For that it is best to have one person in charge at the top of the pyramid and they rule and instigate action by those further down. Who carry out the dictates not of themselves but of those...
I'm not sure it's all "dumb bunny." The article gives the National Party people a chance to show who they are and what they're about. Hipango said Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and the Government had "severely imposed under urgency oppressive powers and ...
I was pleased to see this: Fake vax exemption doctor Jonie Girouard 'no longer able to practise in New Zealand' "The North Canterbury doctor under investigation for allegedly issuing fake vaccine exemptions can no longer practise medicine in New Zealand. ...
It’s 2022. Who to believe in a matter of constitutional rights? In one corner a well known socialite and fashion blogger, in the other someone with a law degree who’s spent 37 years practising law. Oops, missed the other bits about the first corner. ...
The best thing of course is to have not put out numbers. All the way along. A bit disconcerting then for the True Blue 100% whingers. Their call would have been "Secrecy!! We deserve to have the numbers!!" They get the numbers and they scream, "Scare ...
Where is the media in all this? The media seems to be using something Biden said when he was a candidate when the situation with the employment agreement and the attitude of the women was a lot different that what it is today.\
The 2018 PISA results come out and there is alarm and disbelief about the trends in mathematics for our kids. A generation raised through The Numeracy Project and National Standards, both the 'be-all-and-end-all" magic paths to nirvana.
So we want high academic achievement but we want (expect?) those achievers to stay here and contribute. But among other reasons for wanting to go, pay here is seen to be low. And we want high academic achievement but we want people to pick fruit?
I'm disappointed in Cruz. I thought in his follow-up he would have said, should have said, words to the effect: "It is an anniversary of an ordinary tourist excursion in the Capitol, where we saw the men and women of the Republican Party demonstrate ...
Pfizer has us by the balls in some regard? Surely you can find someone to tell you it's because Bill Gates came to New Zealand last year and did a deal with Jacinda Ardern. As part of the deal she gets $5 for every vaccine shot.* That had her worth ...
Some mentioned the importance of female only spaces: "I don’t think the only reason women and girls should have female only spaces is for safety. Though it’s the most serious reason I think we need those spaces because sometimes we need the very particular...
I often read of prisoners not getting parole because they won't admit guilt for the crime they've been imprisoned for. I wonder about saying you didn't do it for the simple reason that you didn't do it. I regularly see people opining about the death ...
Classic Trump: "In light of the total bias and dishonesty of the January 6th Unselect Committee of Democrats, two failed Republicans, and the Fake News Media..." His hordes of doting, manipulable clods will remain in awe of the intellectual giant.
It won't be so long tomorrow. If NZ manage just 12 more runs and get Bangladesh all out for the 2nd lowest score ever in tests the Black Caps will win.
A town chosen at random. If that city wanted all the eyes of the world on it, having a tournament with a competitor in a women's event 'looking masculine' would achieve that. And of course many who've never had anything to do with sport, participating, ...
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 ...
