Seeing Bernie Sanders in action railing against Congress inviting Netanyahu's address as a war criminal, reminds me how much admiration i have for Bernie. For a guy who's an unrepentant democratic socialist and 82, his moral drive remains undiminished. ...
It is simply cruel and wrong that there's no provision in the 2024-5 budget to compensate those who have clearly been damaged by this set of institutional crimes. The reports' list of Minister and senior officials over multiple decades who belittled and ...
Does anyone else have a shadow of melancholy that the only time we ever now unify under a thing called New Zealand is at the Olympics? And the rest of the time we're just customers of business.
Cullen fund doesn't help NZSuper much. Susan St John is worth looking up on this. Fonterra is a national drag.
Too hilarious!
The writer, and Brash, have international engagement views identical to Trump and Vance. We are functionally Australasian in defence and trade already.
NZ's core working population will also shrink while at the same time older people requiring huge volumes more healthcare and welfare will need to be funded. https://businessnz.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-future-of-workforce-supply-Sense-Partners-...
If the real crisis is "the system" as you suggest, Labour designed that system from the ground up.
Hey I know let's just fuck over the bureaucrats for the third year running and expect a different result.
Before we go all Shane Reti this'n'that, can we have the grace to accept that most of this is on Labour? Labour controlled the health system, all the DHB's, and all the budgets that they and Treasury produced for 6 consecutive budgets. Labour generated the...
I'm a big DW fan and will look this up. Ta..
No itch for Buttigieg?
OMG this is such a heart attack. Bearded Git we need to organise and book a Democrat Party gig for Convention day.
Early voting in 55 days so you won't have long to get proven one way or the other.
Well a black female US President will be some kind of miracle. Best of luck Kamala Harris.
Any time women want to get paid for three sets of tennis... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36802328/
Go ahead name that Democratic hero who currently rates 5% or more and will defeat Trump. It astounds me how the left convince themselves into defeat.
Only history will accurately judge why Trump's mid-west and southern base of working people consistently voted against their own economic and healthcare and inflation and tax interests.
Check out the difference in actual on-ground delivery between Biden and Ardern. By NZ standards she was a hero for 2 years, a bright shining leadership star, and yet so little of what she proposed endures. So young, so heroic, so little to show for it. ...
So it goes like this, for the uninitiated: the candidate US president puts forward a manifesto of promises. They are mandated through the party Primary process in which each candidiate has their own policy preferences. The party chooses the candidate and ...
Yet it is particularly stupid to think that Republican irrationality and incoherence and implied fascist revulsion against the rule of law is superior to the pure facts of Democrats' effective progressive policy delivery.
Don't be fooled by Vance into thinking that the Republican Party is the new champion for the working people of the United States. I know it was only 3 years ago but does anyone remember the covid-response $1400 cheques Biden's team mailed out to every ...
None. Every one of the policy initiatives I cited are from Biden to his Cabinet in relevant portfolios: Health, Transport, Treasury, State, and Justice. Nor did any of them originate from Harris.
If there are any Tauranga commenters or readers on this site I'd be keen to hear from them. Our 5th largest city is now one of the most soulless, least friendly, most car dependent, most hostile to civic improvement, one of the worst public transport or ...
I can't but stand back in wonder at the coherence, loyalty and unity of the Republicans to support their egregiously criminal rapist candidate, standing ready to run straight back into the arms of global tyranny, rated by most as one of the worst 3 ...
No other prospective Democratic candidate registers over 5% in any poll.
Which Ministries or state entities don't have contact with citizens? Surely you must have some principle in there somewhere.
Which other parts of the state would you carve off from Treaty obligation?
Well if they could add something like that to the Sukin night cream range that would be appreciated. Could also add a welcome hit to the Dr Hauschka eyecream.
Can you show that levels of violence against LGBTQ groups track alongside domestic violence against women in NZ? Seems a long bow to draw.
She could harden up. Of a total of 1,471,641 German passenger cars registered in 2024, 645,649 contained a propulsion system centred around batteries, fuel-cells, and hydrogen, among other options. Just under 50% Globally the developed world trend away ...
