Why isn't Taranaki a region? I don't live in Wellington or Manawatu. Damn National wanting to steal my assets and my region.
I teach about the great depression in 5th form history. Sadly though history numbers seem to be down in many schools as students see it as a hard subject and would rather take something they perceive to be easier.
Incompetence and wilful deceit?
I love how most of the top comments confuse a capital tax with a capital gains tax even though Gareth Morgan clearly explains the difference it in the article. Guess the speculators and landlords never learnt to read.
Thanks for linking this.
Why are we wasting tax payer money on behalf of the FBI? Did we become the 51st state while I was sleeping or are we really such a weak country we just do as we're told? Funny how people can call the police after being burgled and the police don't even ...
Cunliffe for p.m. great speech
I buy 4 pints of milk for 1 pound over here in London. You're getting severely ripped off at those prices back home.
Have you been watching Glenn Beck again???
Mubarak steps down :) Army to step in, promises to guide the country to free and fair elections.
Just read part 1 and 2 together. Awesome posts QoT, definately needed to be said as well.
They're also paying those workers until christmas even tho they don't have to. link is in the main article. so 2 mins docked but 3 weeks paid doesn't sound all bad to me.
The article says that the union turned down the opportunity for the workers to make up the 2 minutes as overtime (and therefore get paid overtime rates) as it wasn't about money but showing solidarity. Could of been handled better by the bosses but not ...
yeah pretty sure he said twat

Awesome link, cheers. Have been looking for more information on parecon for a while now.
Not sure why they want the alcohol one. However the other one is a no brainer, Nact don't want a free press. They want a press that cost a bottle of wine and publishes what they want them to.
Just on this topic, my friend works for a homeless charity in London. She says that if you mail yourself a letter and put up a notice of squatters rights on the door the owners have to go through due process. As a result there is a guardian scheme in ...
Good on Matt. He's definately the kind of character we desperately need in New Zealand politics. If I lived in Mana he'd get my vote.
all kicking off in london over cutbacks to university funding and increases to student fees. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-11726822
I was discussing this todat with a co-worker of mine who is a former journalist for bbc. She couldn't believe that there is even a discussion about his position and tells me at the bbc it would have been an instant dismissal. Shame standards in New Zealand...

Done, done and done.
Good news in UK politics as the tories drop in the latest poll, am picking bigger drops to come as more cuts are made. Is a shame kiwi's don't seem to be as quick on the uptake :( http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/sep/30/ed-miliband-labour-icm-poll
I don't see how this can be seen as anything but inappropriate and disgraceful. Looking at stuffs online poll however it appears that most of my fellow countrymen disagree. Makes me glad I don't live there anymore tbh, brain drain ftw.
The more I see of Cunliffe the more I like him. Seems to be doing a lot of good, solid work lately.
