It's a very long bow to suggest stopping bonus payments for proficiency in Te Reo is a breach of the treaty.
Former Labour P.M Paul Keating offers alot of commonsense regarding ANZUS foreign policy in the Pacific and other strategic regions imo. The ‘worst deal’ in history and an Albanese snub: Paul Keating’s most memorable calls at the press club | Aukus | The ...
'They'll be a better team....next...year'!
'growing wealth inequality'....what a stunning revelation. I wonder if things ruled out by visionary leaders like a CGT or a Wealth Tax ,could help address that inequality.*sarc&* I guess we'll never...know.
Yes ,tactical voting was evident. When Nania Mahuta and Pene Henare get rolled..it does speak volumes and signals the effect of a new ,more future looking,youthful inspired movement not satisfied with the direction of Labour. As a bloc the Greens and TPM ...
The irony is, that imo Labour were seen to be pandering to Maori...i.e -3 Waters,Co-governance and were punished by mainstream voters irrespective. That Maori deserted Labour in droves to vote for TMP is a backlash against the National lite campaign ...
His 'good idea' was to be National lite'. How many 'good ideas' does....one need/deserve?
So Capt Chris Hipkins is starting over with a blank sheet. I suggest he writes on it...'if you don't like my principles...I do have...others'!(G.Marx)
Luxon is so modest. He hasn't reminded us recently about him being a 'turnaround expert' in business. Rob Fyfe might have something to say about 'turning around' Air NZ. As for Unilever ,he probably counts increasing revenue due to inflationary pressures ...
With his gf called 'susie'..what do you..expect?
Rachel Morton was David Seymours girlfriend,destined to be the...'one'.
Here...as quoted NZH... Election 2023 live updates: Grant Robertson, Nicola Willis, David Seymour and James Shaw trade criticism in finance debate - NZ Herald. I'll save your bloodlust and ban myself. Yesterday you started with insult,then patronage...and ...
' the only way New Zealand farmers will thrive is if they make super-premium highly benchmarked foods that rely on high value not high volume. Again, the economy to really debate.' My understanding is that this has been a long held position. When they ...
I will spell it out for you.National claim to be a 'safe pair of hands'...good economic managers. People want their modelling costings ,assumptions and conclusions to ascertain how credible their claims for funding tax cuts are. Why do you think National ...
One of your dumber ideas smithy. They need to be hammered to justify how they will pay for cuts. Why are they so determined not to reveal their modelling?
Every trick in the...book..NZH-' 'In a day when National was accused of having a $2.1 billion hole in the costings of its tax policy, Willis came under pressure to release the modelling behind the plan, which National had not yet done. Speaking to TVNZ’s ...
Yes I fear,NACT's hidden agenda is massive privatisation and asset ...sales. The Key Govt just ignored the referendum results on p/p energy assets.
There is no conflict of interest in the Natz plans to ramp up property places..O.K! 'These gains were largely driven by Luxon’s family home in Remuera and his family beach house on Waiheke Island, which are worth $7.68m and $7.35m respectively. Capital ...
Where have you been Alwyn...Luxon gets media training on a daily basis on obsfucation and denial. Steven Joyce used to sit behind Natz candidates and coach them in live interviews. They spent millions on Crosby/Textor electioneering and more millions on ...
Yes a carbon copy of Liz Truss' policy...tax cuts and grow the economy...ridiculed in the U.K...will voters in NZ ..buy it?
Castalia would be a front runner for 'consultancy fees' in a NACT...Govt...I guess. Oh,my bad..the Natz are going to reduce consultancy fees..like this 'Some government departments have tripled their spending on consultants during the National Party's time...
How about rural land then? The Key Govt's first item of business was to allow leases of NZ's High country pastoral estates. I believe he bought one,Peter Thiel and a few other millionaires did so...all done in the best ..possible..taste.
Is it reciprocal? Can Kiwis pop over and buy up China's ...land? If not...why..not.
I'm not missing any point afaic. You may decree the 'issue is swing voters' on open mike. If you choose to believe that perception is irrelevant and no proof exists that it is very pertinent,why do you think Labours fortunes changed dramatically with ...
Very good...so your 3 scenarios are-reality,optimistic ,reality and pessimistic...reality?
I didn't actually. If you think every opinion has to be backed by what you consider hard fact....no one would venture an ...opinion. You supplied a link that actually endorses the fact that the majority of voters have no intention of voting ...Labour. The ...
What voters? The voters reflected in poll after poll....those voters. As for 'inane' that's quite an audacious accusation, considering we are all talking opinion. Simplicity is always best imo. Changing leaders ,what could be more simple than...your ...
Nationals great,gaping hole will not matter ,regardless....'we inherited a mess from...Labour...far worse than we thought'!
Perception trumps reality. Voters believe Labour is soft on crime,panders to Maori,and causes inflation through profligate spending. The opposition hammer those topics and shy away from 'solutions'.
Christopher Luxon-the 'little engine,that...couldn't'. -can't supply modelling that his tax plans rely on -can't say where he will make spending cuts -can't say how he will increase productivity -can't say whether he will work with NZ First -can't release ...
More power to you Mickey for being on the front line. Where did this come from...'National’s actions in funneling donations to NZ First '?
