Met Service was issuing warnings from Thurs morning on their official websites and I picked it up online. Spent the day clearing the decks so that I did not have to leave home Friday. Told several people but they shrugged it off with the same old... they ...
A weather preview of what is coming over the next few days: https://www.windy.com/-Rain-thunder-rain?rain,-30.883,174.507,5,m:cJCakBp https://www.windy.com/?-28.130,175.342,5 Tie down anything that moves, stay indoors and cross fingers and toes.
Not quite at the "commissioner" stage yet but...
"...especially one perceived as a willing sex object.' That's a new one on me. Well, if the shoe fits... Or do you just have a dirty mind? [please stop with the sexism and slurs - weka]
Could I suggest: "what in god's name have we got here?" :wink:
Good God!! So that bimbo is the Deputy Mayor. Btw, I'm an Aucklander and am ashamed of the c-grade team at the top. She's the ex-National Party president Goodfellow's wife then. Says it all! [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as ...
Agreed. Aucklanders get what they deserve. Fancy voting in an ignoramus like W Brown. He's just the figurehead of course. The real power belongs to the wide-eyed thugs boys and their lackeys, Hooton et al. Anyone know who the bottle-blonde bombshell is who...
She knows the 'right' people and can be guaranteed to produce an anti-Labour perspective. Adding a young woman who had star status Madam Pagani had always craved for but never achieved, adds grist to the mill. Combine the above with a personal grudge ...
Its calmed down a bit now. The rain radar has the worst of the rain moving away from Auckland. Fortunately the "severe thunderstorms" have stayed out at sea. Am I tempting fate? :eek: Edit: the harbinger of possible bad news. There's another system of ...
Yes. I didn't quite get to the end of the item. Now that is more analogous in the sense that Lange also had a drama filled term in office. I refer in particular to the nuclear free legislation and the Rainbow Warrior bombing. I'm currently reading (at ...
If ever there was proof that Barry Soper is as nutty as a fruitcake this is it: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/the-front-page-barry-soper-on-the-legacy-of-jacinda-arderns-political-career/BCOUHBNZZVHRPMVRJTPSFEFVIM/ Now how did I guess in advance, ...
OMG is "Tony" for real? 1) Its not Zelensky. 2) He doesn't wear suits... ever! As far as I can tell. Is 'Tony' one of the crowd who think the moon is made of cheese?
... all the pundits and MSM political talking heads and journalists who have offered opinions on the Ardern era, not one has acknowledged the fact that due to her actions 10-15,000 New Zealanders are alive today... And that is probably a conservative ...
Talk about projection. He's actually ranting on about himself!
Paul Buchanan (Pablo) has written a good follow-up article since his public statements on the subject: https://www.kiwipolitico.com/2023/01/on-the-darkness-behind-the-pms-departure/ Its on TS's side-panel but is also appropriate to this post.
I think the reshuffle is expected shortly after Hipkins is sworn in on Wednesday. My pick is either late Wed, or Thurs. Those who have indicated they are leaving politics at the time of the election (14 Oct.) are likely to lose their portfolios and we will...
Both Chris Hipkins and Christopher Luxon hold strong views on how NZ should be governed. The difference is, Chippy is happy to share his views with one and all, while Luxon is terrified we may get to learn what his real views are. Bang on.
You are completely right. They haven't the brains for rational thinking and that opens the way for the Trumps of this world to drag them down ever deepening rabbit holes.
He was claiming that in their 5 plus years in office Labour have done nothing. That's a mind boggling statement given everything that has happened in the past 5 years. He looked anxious and pissed off. I wonder why. :wink:
Egg Head was on TV1 news at 6pm. He said something along the lines: "It doesn't matter who is PM because they have done nothing. Nothing at all. We are going to do something." But he didn't say what the something was. He looked like he had just eaten a ...
I'm guessing a lot of people, including those on their own side, resent the left not calling time on the Prime Minister when she claimed that those who opposed the mandate were far-right Nazis. That is as far as I am reading your comment. The above is an ...
My apologies.
Perhaps not quite ready yet TM and I suspect he knows it which is why he pulled out. He probably wants a bit more of a 'hands-on the political chess-game and how to play it' experience under his belt. Barring some unforeseen circumstance I believe he will ...
Don't fall for the line mosa. Those comments, in my view, are wishful thinking from a couple of naturally right leaning journos - especially Audrey Young. I've been in and out of the Labour traps for decades so believe I can claim some insights. In an ...
Not all that have a dissenting view are misogynists, VFF or Tamaki disciples nor Nazis. You are misreading the comments gsays if you are assuming Shanreagh and everyone else on this site are including those who have a 'dissenting' view of Jacinda Ardern. ...
That ties in with my reply to Visubversa. Don't want to go down that road.
If the Police had cracked down on more of those people earlier, it may not have got this bad. The person who works in the office has to put up with this filth every working day. I sometimes get the feeling that the police don't want to go down that road. ...
Well an uncut one then. :wink:
Running a major company tsmithfield is nothing like running a country. Running a country is way more complicated and nuanced. It is a fallacy to say that anyone who has run a big company has an advantage. Knowing how to balance the books doth not ...
I agree. Without the DPB safety net she is exposed to the lunatics and their enablers who will see it as a mark of manhood to physically arrack her and/or her family. In the interest of her safety and the safety of her family and anyone else associated ...
Yes the Public Service had a lot to answer for in the 1980s and 1990s. Deceit, spite and misogyny were rife in some government entities. They saw me as a vulnerable target because of my political persuasion. It was brutal. I upped and left in the end but ...
