'This is complete bollocks Michael, consistent with most of your rant." Thanks BG. Saves me saying it except that I will; A load of bullshit. Labour along with the Greens have always based their CC policies on the science. Its the other crowd that don't, ...
Add to that power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Its gone to their heads and now their real agendas are being exposed.
They know who it was and so does Luxon. Doesn't stop him from covering up and lying.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/one-news-at-6pm/live That's the end of that bit of nonsense. :)
NIWA's response in 2009 was typical of the arrogance amongst some Public Service leaders. The Met Service was no better back in the day. Whether it was confined to scientific agencies I don't know, but imo it was pretty much a case of professional ...
Today is the 40th anniversary of the Trades Hall bombing. Those who were around at the time will remember it well. Anti-union activity was rife throughout the country, aided and abetted by a malignant force in the shape of the former prime minister, RD ...
Before you start throwing accusations at Andrew Little, suggest you check out the facts: https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-zealand-condemns-malicious-cyber-activity-chinese-state-sponsored-actors And here is what Andrew Little had to say earlier ...
In the wake of the Chinese cyber attack on the UK, USA and Australia, Judith Collins has released information on a cyber attack by Chinese actors on NZ. I smell a bit of a distraction tactic going on here. Collins has fronted up to a live press conference ...
I disliked Key but his friendship with Obama did seem to be genuine. Luxon is a boot licker. He would sell his soul provided he got a good deal for himself. Given the latest terrorist attack it would seem to me the Middle East is about to become a tinder ...
Former American intelligence analyst, Paul Buchanan sums up the situation in this portion of his post on the subject: In effect, the story about this foreign intelligence “capability” secretly operated from within the GCSB is one about violation of basic ...
ISIS and its off-shoots are back: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/23/theres-little-reason-to-doubt-attack-on-moscow-venue-was-by-islamic-state NZ is not immune but I doubt we are anywhere near the top of the list.

An atrocious act reminiscent of our own Chch attack except it took place at a concert hall and there was a small group of "extremists" involved. Yes it took place in Moscow, Russia. Yes we don't like what Russia is doing to Ukraine. But these are innocent ...
I had one or two dealings with him at a time he was a F16 pilot with the RNZAF. He came across as fiercely intelligent and history suggests he is very much his own man. I doubt he suffers fools gladly so opponents beware.... :wink:
I beg to differ over Andrew Little TM. It appeared to me he was steering clear of revealing any personal views, and sticking to the matter as it played out during his time as GCSB minister. I was interested to hear that former GCSB director, Sir Bruce ...
I knew the moment I heard NZ had dropped into recession mode that Luxon would immediately blame the Labour led government. Nope. Haven't read it. Wouldn't waste a second of my time on his load of bullshit: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/prime-minister-...
Ditto observer. He came to speak to the North Shore LP a couple of times and I was struck at how humble he was despite his well known public profile and academic achievements.
My thoughts too. Tries to lay the blame at the feet of the Opposition parties for Winston's outburst. His tactics are so transparent. But I guess there's plenty of gullible folk around who fall for it.
It is a nickname his school chums gave him and it has stuck to him ever since. It has nothing to do with carpentry although I gather it is a hobby of his. Nothing wrong with the nickname and it is used with affection.
He's lost the plot: https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350205276/nz-politics-live-winston-peters-blames-leftie-shill-reporter-chumbawamba-gate
Listening to this link, I get the impression that the low and middle income earners he feigns to care deeply about will have their share of the tax-cuts wiped out by new "revenue sources" and it will be leave them worse off than they are now: https://www....
What is it called BG? I would like to read it.
I have zero sympathy for those who voted for NAct and NZ1. Your example BG is a case in point. The media are well aware of the CoC's lies and deceit, but they seem afraid to say so - with the surprising exception of Tova O'Brien. It will be interesting to ...
Hipkins is doing his SotN speech in about a week's time. I believe it is taking place in South Auckland. In the meantime he did this 30 min. stand-up for the media at Labour's recent retreat. No comparison to Luxon. Hipkins talks substance. Luxon favours ...
Oh dear, The police are not happy with Luxon. I wonder how many of them voted National in which case.... https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350214575/it-incites-rage-police-verdict-luxon-interview

Yes. ianmac @ 18, It is interesting this story should break within a day or two of Golriz Ghahranan's day in court. Coincidental I am sure. (sarc) It seems like the Green Party is the target of the times. There will be no-one left at this rate. I watched ...
The reply 'button' is not working for me. In reply to Res Publica (and others): There is a wee smell about this latest Greens scandal. There may be something in it, or it is the latest example of DP politics - courtesy of Atlas trained opponents. In the ...
Don't have a lot of sympathy for the police. Past experience and knowledge tells me most of them probably voted for NAct. You get what you asked for? https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/511498/government-priorities-clearly-wrong-police-association-says-...
I take a passing interest - my late Mum and Dad being English. To be fair to "Kate" she doesn't want her medical record plastered all over the front pages and on social media. But the royal pic? That's another story. She's taking the blame but its strange ...
