His very own podium of truth.. except it's a news letter, and an email..
Call me cynical.. but. My feeling here is that both parties have colluded and have agreed to vote in favour of what is essentially a feel good bill that will have no actual effect on NZ or the over all governments agenda. What it does do is remind National...
The FSU was set up by Jordan Williams in July 2018.. that's the same Jordan Williams that founded the TPU.. and the same Jordan Williams that has received funds from Atlas and I believe has been to workshops tun by the atlas network. In fact, if you go to ...
So this shambles of a cosplay government are getting ready to kick thousands or public service workers to the kerb. As deeply as I feel for them, I also feel equally as deeply for those that will be left behind having to pick up the work those others would...
Umm.. no they don't. Uffindel is still there.. Kuriger is still there.. and Mitchell isn't exactly a shining example of principal for either his private security work or his dodgy practice becoming am MP in the first place.
Maybe there needs to be 3 On Air Funds – one for public service broadcasting (news and current affairs), one for New Zealand content and one for documentary. Labour could state a policy on the matter as to there being a future. To answer this question you...
The cancer target is bullshit as far as I can tell. I haven't read the detail, but it seems focused on after diagnosis care instead of pre diagnosis screening. These are two seperate issues, and it's been my personal experience that if there is a chance of...
My 10 cents on the matter.. He isn't a public servant.. he's a CEO. He wouldn't have understood why this is an issue because he doesn't see him self in our service, he sees himself as the boss of NZ and as such he's entitled to be paid for any expenses he ...
He doesn't need to. That's kind of the point. All that needs to happen is that he does as he's told, and says what he is told to say. Those with the actual ties such as Bishop, Willis, Seymour and others will write the script.
Luxon keeps harping on about how National won't support this bill past the first reading. So that has me thinking, does that preclude the bill proceeding further if Luxon decides to allow his MP's to vote as individuals as apposed to along the party line? ...
Probably not entirely owned by 'big oil'.. but they were certainly paid a big chunk of donation money by mainfrieght and a couple of the other trucking companies.. Having EV and PHEV owners pay a disproportionate amount in RUC's helps those fellas pay less...
I can't speak for every one regarding the Sam Uffindel story. But, from my perspective, the issue wasn't what he did as a 16 year old. The bigger issue is how that played out once he began the process of selection to become a National Party candidate. It ...
I believe Luxon recommended her and the GG appointed her..
I was reading about this some where else and it makes me wonder if the ultimate goal here is to privatise the ferry branch of Kiwi rail using the actual ferries as a bait to do that. So we go ahead and build the ferries, and use those as an incentive for ...
100%.. It also seem incredibly ironic that they are choosing to go down this path considering the criticism they levelled at the last two Labour governments regarding transparency along with caring for tax payers dollars..
"Simian".. was that intentional or was it spell check? Because either way.. it's very funny.
This claim by National, and almost every one else actually, that Labour lost by a landslide is entirely based on the 2020 result which is unprecedented under MMP and will likely never happen again. By comparison I believe this is one of Nationals lowest ...
It's more of the aspirational politics bullshit that keeps right inline with Key/Bennett's state home/single parent background and Luxon't "first in my family to go to university" crap.. all it supports the illusion that "If I can do it, any one can do it...
Thanks UncookedSelachimorpha.. You wrote the post I came here to write.. This obsession with the police is dangerous because it's only a very short step away from arming them full time, and then militarising them in the long term. The issue isn't not ...
"Those various movements haven't been cauterised, their infection is spreading further into the healthy tissue of society" This is crucial to understanding how close we are to some sort of repeat of a violent outcome. The culture of the self is of deeply ...
I saw this.. Part of me thinks it makes sense to bring the ex minister along considering the time between Simon Watts taking on that role and the beginning on the summit. So, why not bring the person along that's up to speed and has been doing the job for ...
Income tax cuts were a cornerstone of National's campaign the point I was trying to make is that it doesn't matter what any party says during an election campaign because all of it is up for negotiation during the formation of a government under MMP. That...
Going on this type of witch hunt is a wee bit pointless and could end up as an own goal because under MMP pre election promises mean nothing until after coalition negotiation agreements have been written and published. At that point those pledges are what ...
The zero covid policy wasn't "given up".. We changed and adapted because we were protected and prepared. Restrictions were lifted in NZ during the omicron part of the pandemic because it was shown that if the majority of the population where immunised with...
Auckland has a population of 1.6million.. if maybe half a dozen of those were assholes that were able to evade the lock downs via helicopter to holiday in the Coromandel then those people need to be vilified justly, while those that remained should be ...
The over all context of the "Temptations of Christ" is a good allegory of where Luxon has found him self, and how he might possibly be dealing with the situation. Within that frame I would place both Seymour and Peters in the role of the temptator. ...
Normally I don't feel qualified to comment on here, and even in this instance I feel it's a wee bit nit-picky.. but.. In Deuteronomy 6:13, Lucifer says to Jesus "All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me". Your ...
