You are right Robert, adopting a wealth tax that close to the election would have opened Chippie and Labour up to a huge campaign of even more lies and vilification and the loss would have been even greater. No matter that 60% plus may have thought it was ...
When you are up against determined liars prepared to say anything as the price of power then you are on a hiding to nothing. Hipkins would have had to trump their lies but I think he is a better person than that.
Wasn't it funded by council and other local organisations to try and get Invercargill off life support, its had more voluntary evacuees than just about anywhere short of Gaza.
And there it is.. AUSTERITY, or in the parlance of the rich "fuck you oiks we're going to cream it ".
Where has the idea come from that this is Peters last stand, l have heard hints of speculation but don’t recall him actually saying anything himself. Can anyone confirm the rumours please?
What are the chances ? Will Peters pull the plug, will the Nact scavengers appetite for destruction eventually be a bridge or ferry too far? Very little of what is happening now appears to have any rationale associated with previous NZ1st keenness for a NZ...
Today my wife and I went to the 2nd Toitu te Tiriti March in Blenheim , twice as big as last weeks one all instigated by local rangatahi and led impressively by Honey Marzola Wairepo. She is only 18 and did it because “Blenheim is a little shy “ so she and...
Bullshit. The scrapping of the smoke free system was one line in an associated partys brochure and appeared after early voting had started. Dishonest in the extreme. These clowns are on a dangerous and lethal trajectory fueled by constant lying. The sale ...
The next step is the sale of KiwiRail, it has been the plan all along.
I think Willis has a cunning plan, a plan so cunning etc etc that involves getting the Chinese to take it over as a Belt and Road project, a communist run scheme that is so popular and competent that Meloni the communist leader or the 7th largest economy ...
OK Sanctuary,do you mean the generation that protested and won about Nuclear Proliferation, a nuclear-free Pacific, Manapouri, the Vietnam War, the 1968 protests in France and the US, Apartheid, Springbok tours, Iraq War, Abortion, foreshore and seabed, ad...
I don't think it will be that long I'm sure the odds are shortening on longevity by the day.
No, it's because going further left just robs the Greens and TPM, there might be a few Marxists or hardline Leninistas holed up in the hills with 19th century blunderbusses but good luck coaching that half dozen down to a polling booth. Hipkins knows that ...
She was born miserable.
Te Tiriti hikoi in Blenheim as we speak and my reporter, wife actually, reports lots of toots and a couple of hundred walkers. Not bad for little notice, she came upon it and joined in. Couple of hundred in the rain is pretty good for here, you won’t get ...
Two Teslas. Got to grab a good thing when it’s going cheap.
A small mention a few days ago in Stuff or Granny stated that ram raids were still going on, one in fact for a 7k damage bill garnered a 1 dollar chocolate bar.
But are swamps the answer, surely that’s where almost all the methane comes from, with the exception of ruminants, but to grow logs to stick them in swamps means we would have to create even more swamps and even more methane. What are the mechanics of ...
You’re right Reality, a few weeks ago a few ex-school mates of hers used almost the same words about her at school. Can’t remember where I saw it.
She doesn’t have a boss Patricia she thinks she is the boss because after all she holds the purse strings.
When a basic lunch for kiddies becomes a fiscal cliff then we are truly rooted.
I agree with Deborah Russell, a CGT would be much easier, a wealth tax would mean a huge leap in the number of bloody Tax Accountants and they would charge more than the WT would bring in. The key is that the simpler the system the better. Wealth is more ...
I'll pay to bring back the Poukai, Haasts Eagle to the Te Reo limited. Imagine it, hundreds of them soaring and swooping, grabbing the old sheepy straggler and the occasional naughty disobedient kid who didnt stay close to mum and dad, a small price to pay...
If you do that Tony you only take votes off the Greens and TPM that is no way to power, the leverage percentage needed is the dithering middle, the waverers and the Ian Taylors and the '" We didnt know how lucky were cohort ". There is no lost left vote ...
I think reality might be dawning for Willis in particular. It’s patently obvious that she really doesn’t know how government finances work and/or has real trouble comprehending official papers, but more telling is the body language and facial expressions. ...

It has come to pass that this new gummint has an obvious trouble with telling the truth, pretty much everything they say is lies. A few days ago both Luxon and Willis defended the smoke free cancellation because of the threat of robberies saying that there...
These u-turns of Peters are interesting, they appear to be vaguely memory related, forgetting he was involved in the policy formations he is currently railing about. Senility? or is it something else. He was not even supposed to be there, tracking below ...
Congratulations to Jenna Lynch on Newshub TV3 this evening for an excoriating dismissal of Peters and his attack on the media and allegations of bribery. Next time Jenna ask him how much the tobacco industry paid him to drop the anti-smoking legislation.
If we try to tax estates too much the following generation may never own a house of their own.
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 ...
