Don't know how to put this, but concerned for CleenGreen, haven't seen him comment in a while. Always a tireless campaigner for rail...I'd like to think he is OK.
@Sanctuary 4/ 85% or so turn out with on the day enrollment and easy voting means a youthquake most likely happened – Chloe is the best evidence of that but Jacinda surely benefited as well. If it is true that a youthquake occurred that is wonderful news. ...
Was indeed a spectacular win, I had a gut feeling it would go this way, including the Greens gaining around 9-10 seats and Chloe's amazing taking of Auckland Central. But now the work begins on that 'transformational' thing. Has this govt got the consensus...
100% , Weka , and as last time, the Greens will get my party vote. Labour, the electorate.
BOOM !
Indeed, so why give him the audience?
Not a chance, mate.

Isn't her husband Chinese rather than Samoan though? At least I thought he was. It really doesn't matter who shes married to, rather a technological point I'm inquiring into, that's all. And the reason is, I'm wondering if her husband would maintain ...
Simply shooting from the hip I am against it. It seems ironic at a time when we have one of the worst statistics in youth ( and not so young ) suicides we get this Bill passing. Im sure those of a certain bent in govts dont object to the huge savings in ...
The greatest insult you could deliver was to murder some poor bastard the night before, cook him in a hangi , then shit out his remains the next morning after. That was common in Europe as well as New Zealand. Stop pulling the monumental porkies. Just dont...

Mate- its open mike. And unless your weka or some other biased online hustler... you aint got a show. Id suggest you be more careful in future yourself, as the Greens seem quite disposed towards certain practices. Crawl out of your cave and get real . Even...
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail I think you'd better call John Because it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't ...
I don't do or support pot... but pot is the 2019 equivalent to moonshine... Hear these words. Its the truth.

^^^^ This website,... really... Gone downhill ever since it no longer accepts google etc... I deleted 10 copys of the same damn thing then ran out of time and then gave up. ffs.
... ' The theory of trickle down dates back to Milton Friedman and the Chicago School of Economics ' ... Only very broadly , it actually goes back to the Austrian school of economics under Friedrich Hayek. From there, - it became the mainstay of American ...
Keynesianism was based on the idea 'we just borrow' for the things we import, however, projects such as dams, roading, hospitals and schools were paid for by the taxpayer. Along with helping to pay those 'borrowings' back. Back then overseas corporate's ...

The only thing that still and always WILL stick in my craw is the 4th Labour govt and its successor, the Bolger led National party who thought they had a right under THEIR shoddy neo liberal ideology to flog off decades of taxpayers assets that belonged to...
The ability to witness two men stand toe to toe in the spirit of sportsmanship and pummel each other into insensibility is what separates us from the animals. Christopher Lloyd (1938 – ) American actor - as Jim Ignatowski
Marty , your statement : ... '' they don't see Māori as part of their society – they couldn't care less about Māori let alone the language '' ... Thats identity politics. 1/ You dont speak for all white New Zealanders - all youve done is make a gross ...
Why?- whats the point? We already have people of all races mispronouncing names, places and the like. What are we all going to do? - draw and quarter them all for a simple error or guillotine them for being brought up in a certain way ? Geez. Maybe a ...
One for marty. Hope you can understand the point... And get off the demanding , petulant one way rail road track. Live and let live. https://youtu.be/QrLjsCCGnuo?t=1https://youtu.be/QrLjsCCGnuo?
Dont be a joke. Your real problem is white New Zealanders. Do you really expect Indian, Chinese and every other immigrant to bow the knee to the sacred cow of correct pronunciation of the Maori language ? Get off the grass racist. Climb down off that high ...
To do that we would have to know UK laws on the holding of political prisoners. The fact that Pilger and others have raised the alarm suggests possibly not. But once in the penal system and being a high profile prisoner seems to imply they can and will. ...
The same mentality as this, Weka,... to ensure he never is heard, that the media do not cover his story ( as if they ever supported him ) and that the public soon forget all about him. They are taking no chances of his becoming a martyr. Just like the ...
NB. I do pronounce Iran as ' eye - rharn... for some reason... but still it is not a shadow on the correct pronunciation.
Okey dokeys... but can you imagine going around 'correcting' someone in England from another locality when they 'mispronounced' a local twang or drawl? I think you might end up with an ale all over your face and called a nitpicker. As they are all English ...
Face it, whether we like it or not, language is a living , evolving thing... we butcher each others language everyday. Sadly. But unless we live in total isolation,.. language, and its pronunciation... is going to change over time. But, thats how dialects ...
