I think Speaker would be one of the biggest pain in the arse jobs in Parliament as an MP. You obviously get the extra cash, but she is a bit of a poisoned chalice. You kind of have to juggle backing the boss of your Party, while simultaneously trying to ...
... no incorrect claims and didn’t try to correct another commenter...
He was Head of Unilever Canada. And they don't just do deodorant. Too much disrespect for the Company that gifted us the great Magnum almond ice cream.
"I read this morning Luxon was head of deodorants for Unilever in the US." Close. But no. [So close, yet so far. Since you seem to know better, why don’t you set the record straight, yes? Put up or shut up – Incognito]
"Mind you, right wingers love that. Fear is often a motivation for voting Conservative." While I agree the US right tended years ago to use fear, but you could mount the same argument with Ardern and Covid. It is basically just a political tool. ""...
I am no scientist, but the one thing I do know is micro plastics basically screw the wild life. It is sad, but also now probably sadly too hard to stop. Best we can probably do is try to slow down the damage. Edit: And that includes fish, birds, even ...
Thanks
... me Mr thickest person called Chris in NZ, but don't actually...
... a red "I love Labour" t-shirt. I know it is...
Latest Roy Morgan ain't looking too great for Labour. Not sure how much attention should be paid to it. Polls can have one off oddities. "Potential National/Act NZ coalition (50%) strengthens its clear lead over Labour/Greens (43%) in May"..... http://www....
Don't get me wrong. Was cool. But one of the more surreal moments in my life. Getting out of bed. Turning on the TV and there is Tom Cruise presenting the Jubilee and then the Trinidad and Tobago military band playing "Dancing Queen" by ABBA. As I say cool...
I wouldn't "gloat/crow/call for your pound of flesh" I am sure she will just get a more suitable high profile portfolio. As I said. I like her. Just don't think suitable for that one.
Fair call. Again if it were me. And I was Adern. I would just swap their roles. Sepuloni would make a brilliant Foreign Affairs and Mahuta a Brilliant Culture, heritage and the other Social Development one.
Sorry. I probably put it badly, and it might just be a personal opinion thing. But again (IN MY PERSONAL OPINION), which could be complete crap. If for weird inclusivity reasons it needs to be a woman. In my opinion from interviews I have seen, while ...
I just don't have a huge amount of confidence in her performing the current role they suicide passed her with, when I personally think she would be better used in other areas.
Yes. Re-shuffle We can have a virtual bet on it if you like. I say she get's turfed as Foreign Minister. You obviously say no in the usual mid term re shuffle. Loser has to post "I am slow and the other poster (insert your or my user name) is amazingly ...
Think they are having a re-shuffle soon any way, so she ain't going to be it for much longer any way I would imagine.
Personally think she seems a nice enough person, but is out of her depth with foreign affairs. Frankly she ain't that great at it. In fact frankly shite. Not to say she would not be good at other portfolios. If I was Labour would have gone with Little, ...
Pretty funny The Queen and Paddington Bear open up for the Queen gig for the Jubilee. As much as am not a royalist, you can't deny she is a funny chick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjFl6lsFaNA&t
Sorry. Meant Grant Robertson. My fingers slipped Incognito: That was a joke
All good. I have the same problem with my small keyboard. Was going to talk to Grunt Robbingson about it while he is acting PM
It isn't like I am going to discuss the point with you Incognito, given stuff, so I will just say fair enough, no worries.
The problem here is that people tend to give up reading further after you immaturely and purposefully spell Key's name wrong. Personally find this extremely tedious. I also find idiots saying "Jacinta" fricken tedious. It is something people about 12 do.
Apologies. I am probably just thick. But what is wrong with this comment from Luxon again in the thread topic? "but then a minute later when co-governance was mentioned pivoted and said that Jacinda Ardern has to take people with them about co governance. ...
I hadn't actually followed it that much, but from the little I did see it was kind of obvious while he might be considered a bit of a weirdo by some, she could equally be considered a bit of a nutbar. (I am in the later camp btw. She obviously has issues) ...
Have no idea who this Clint Smith dude is, but at some stage after 5 years in power Labour are going to need to realise you can't keep blaming the last lot, when they have had so long to fix their accusations. "The last govt did this" after 5 years is ...
Ardern probably had to give him 30 minutes for a nap, while she read a book. I am joking!!!!!! I agree. Seems quite successful. While I disagree with a lot of her policy, you can't deny Ardern is a great ambassador for the country. She has done extremely ...
Sorry. I got a bit confused. My fault. I normally use the second on here and accidently used the other. Totally my mistake. Won't happen again. On other threads I will stick to using the kiwi one. [This is the 2nd time and it will be the last one too - ...
Nah. You are right. 757 Inside view https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/travel/2021/11/inside-the-rnzaf-boeing-757-used-by-jacinda-ardern.html [Please don't change your e-mail address; only one is allowed here - Incognito]
Far out. While the humour level is up there, so is the embarrassment one. Maybe she can beg Biden to lend her one. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/pms-us-trip-jacinda-arderns-plane-breaks-down-in-washington-pcr-tests-for-all-after-covid-cases/...
I literally can't take this govt seriously until they get it through their heads tax brackets need to be adjusted. She ain't rocket science.
