Not to mention the Nurses Union. Why did they stay quiet on this for all these years? Does the union not care about the health and safety of their members?
I live in Hamilton, and would love to have the name changed. Im on the right of political spectrum, male white guy, but personally think we should adopt more and more Maori place names. Mt Taranaki not only recognises that the mountain already had a name, ...
Wow hang on. Cuts both ways. Last year Waitangi Day was all about the Anti-TTPA protests, even a few sex toys were thrown. Suddenly a change of Govt, the same TTPA is signed and no protests and no dildos thrown??? Why?
Hence the real reason for the undemocratic Electoral (Integrity) Amendment Bill (an oxymoron if I ever saw it, there is no integrity in this bill) Winston is NZF and his MPs do his bidding, and will do for always. He doesn't another 1998
Please tell it like it is, she did not commit fraud to put food on her plate, she committed fraud so could play politics with her Mcgillicuddy serious party mates, by campaigning for free dung. If she was so concerned about feeding her child, then why did ...
I wonder if any of the interns employed by Labour's old mate Matt fall under this? Labour has no credibility on employment best practice now
The one piece of legislation that the Greens have passed, the home insulation bill, was passed with National...go figure?
He still hasn't explained how he's going to build so many new homes without any new immigrants doing the work?
...as soon as someone explains to me why its ok for women to live much longer than men. [lprent: Stupid misogynist troll plays with his teeny genitals. Banned for 2 weeks while you investigate why men don't live as long as women. I'll give you a hint. ...
What if (hypothetically) it was found that one of the miners or a group of miners was not following procedure? Should the families then pay back the compensation? Easy to pour scorn on the company (big corporate bully) but the mistake could quite as easily...
You sound pretty confident that Winston is on your side. Winston will never go with Greens so Labour needs to be at 40% not the low 20's Its pathetic that their ambition is to rely on other parties to get them across the line.
And he has the party at 23% and his rating at 8% (slow clap)
No no no... you forgot the rules. 'its OK when the left do it'
I think the left hate Israel because the US has keep them alive bacause every nation that surrounds them has a mandate for 'the complete destruction of the State of Israel.' Therefore the old, 'an enemy of my enemy, is my friend' adage applies to Israel.
Simple. Stump up your own money, create your own business and pay your staff whatever you like.
Correction. Hillary is offering the status quo. I think most sane people believe the US political system is broken. Clinton has been the centre of that same broken system. The feeling I get is both sides of the political fence want things to change. If ...
PAYE accounts not tax returns. Sadly Andy doesn't know the difference. And he wants to control the country's cheque book?
But it OK when Helen choose the GG?
Many are saying that farmers are jumping on the Winnie train. Do you honestly expect them to stay with Winston if it means that voting for NZF means the Greens form part of the govt?
Personally I don't think that lot could agree on how to boil a pot of water. The Greens are toxic to many nzers. If and a big if, Labour and the Winston Peters party can get close to a majority then the tide will turn. Until they can do without the Greens ...
There is an easy Solution. Start your own business, employ whomever you like, pay whatever you like (over the minimum wage of course) and when they go on maternity leave pay them yourself for 5 years. How hard is that?
Why such attack? I not against providing workers protection, I never said that. I'm just wondering why big business is so supportive of it?
Be careful what you wish for. Larger operations could be seeing this legislation as a way to cripple their smaller competitors under bureaucratic red tape, thus taking them out of the market. Simple economics tells you that only the larger businesses (with...
Pretty poor strategy. "Let's just wait until the voters are sick of the other guys, and then we'll get our turn."
What many on the vocal left don't understand is that there is a silent majority. This is seen by the ratings that Seven Sharp has held over Campbell Live for quite some time. We have so many people telling us that Hosking is a right-wing sycophant, but the...
Case in point. You question Labour's direction and you get told to p%&* off! OK don't listen and keep losing.
My 3 cents worth is. Labour needs to move back to where it came from. It tells the world that it is for the working class man but here (as well as in the UK) the party is filled with snouts in the troughs academics who have never had to work in their lives...
