All good mary_a can't speak for any other non-far leftie...but had other commitments today :) BTW: It was pretty boring just having the Labour no sorry NZF lead coalition grabbing all the headlines.
"That should be fraud and come with jail terms." You do understand why when making an OIA request you can do so with not having to divulge your details? Luckily we are not in a Draco controlled despotic.
Ok here is one... "The New Zealand Tax Payers Union also piped in, saying MBIE tax payer wastage will continue until Joyce is held responsible." https://futurefive.co.nz/story/classic-joyce-labour-scolds-govts-culture-extravagance If you look there are ...
"or even Nikki Kaye." Jacinda Ardern was beaten twice by Nikki Kaye in Auckland Central. So someone must have voted for Nikki...including many women :)
If you look at the statics (Press releases) you will see they are critical of "wasteful spending" regardless of who is in Government. National did not escape the wrath of the taxpayers union while in Government. Regardless of who is in Government, a group ...
"Duh It polls in mid 40s because it doesnt have any other parties to leak voters to !" Yes, it does...NZF / Labour / Greens / ACT. To date, the Nat vote has held up, with little leakage to other parties. Where do you expect Labour to pick up any votes from...
Bridges used the word embarrassing more than once before trying to walk it back later in the interview. I would suggest to check out what Tova O'Brien is up to (or not). "O'Brien was asked if she knows who leaked the information to her, to which she said "...
"Pretty amazing testimony from Bradbury there" I don't think you can hang your hat on what Bomber comes out with.
"Our street has a mixture of privately-owned homes and Housing NZ ones but none of this was of much consequence - until Housing NZ moved in a new tenant three years ago." https://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news/107529652/the-nightmare-of-housing-nzs-...
Some tenants are feral millsy. Venture out of your safe space and into the real world. Just as some landlords are not fit to be landlords...
MS I agree with the first part below... "And having to deal with the political phenomenon known as Jacinda Ardern. And seeing her effectively neuter your whole political strategy by being kind." Jacinda does tick the boxes as a political phenomenon. No ...
"It’s all in the wording." Indeed so. Campaign: For Sacha (above post) it means marketing and politics. synonyms: crusade, fight, battle, work, push, press, strive, struggle, agitate; promote, advocate, champion, speak for, lobby for, propagandize "a ...
"They have been used on social media and Ardern told the Herald on Sunday some would also be used for campaign purposes." "This morning the Prime Minister's office clarified that the images would be used for "stock footage and social media content that the...
All political parties like to spend public $, especially those on the left. However, you miss the point Cinny - Ardern paid for the PR blitz via the leader's fund. Then Ardern says the photos/movie will be used amongst other things for electioneering. Now ...
Get with the times Draco... Labour leader Andrew Little apologised to Earl and Lani Hagaman back in April 2017.
Its classic Winston, he is currently in Governing mode however come election time he will change over to survive mode.
It's ok the PM's office has said Ardern "misspoke" and the photo's / movie will not be used for electioneering purposes...which is illegal. "I propose that Ms Ardern just keep trucking along, she’s doing great." So do I ScottGN. At this rate, she will run ...
Delivered her speech well, even if it was one big virtue signalling exercise. It was also the ideal time for Ardern to check out her office suite at the UN, once she retires or is fired from her current gig. Back to reality for Jacinda when the plane ...
Boag is a very polarising figure and not my first choice as a consultant! (mind you not based on her ability, rather her toxic profile in some quarters). As is evident with this post, MS and others are using the Boag factor to beat Handley around the head...
Rest easy Draco, Handley is donating his payout to charity.
"Handley sat on the sidelines and says he was waiting for the Government to clear things up." "Asked how the situation had affected him personally, a visibly upset Handley said: "It's unsettling and it's been hard and I wouldn't wish it on anybody." https...
"Such a difference from the squirmy embarrassment that Key used to make me feel on such occasions." Come on In Vino it would not matter one iota if Key ticked all your box's other than in his position on the political spectrum. That one "flaw" is fatal in ...
"to eventually find something/anything to hang the Government for." I needed a good laugh thanks ianmac!
Handley is donating the Govt payout to charity. Derek Handley and Jacinda Ardern were friendly before Ardern becoming Labour leader and then PM. Clare Curran was the saboteur.
None of us can foretell what will happen in 2020. Jacinda Ardern is THE current Government. She must retain that or otherwise, it will be a slaughter. NZF will do whatever is necessary to ensure it retains the luxury of Government. If that means supporting...
It will put Ardern in a very tight spot, her duty PM misleading Parliament. If she sacks him Winston will bring down the current Government, if she does nothing but a telling off it reinforces Ardern as a weak PM and a one-term wonder. So better hope ...
"So what happens if Bishop is correct?" Winston would be toast and have misled parliament...again (Glenn donation). Bishop has gotten Winston to bite and go on record.
"I’m pretty sure alienating NZF is one of the major reasons for the Nats being in opposition right now." Winston played Labour and National off against each other. Jacinda was prepared to give more than Bill, along with the acting PM role it was never in ...
That is why Ardern (and well any PM) has a small army of staff on hand. In particular with the CTO/Curran saga being front and center, it would have been a priority for Ardern (and staff) to of been across all communications. Handley releasing the ...
joe90 You may have missed the news since Peters deflection attempt in Parliment. "Acting Prime Minister Winston Peters says he is not able to recall who invited him to a celebration for Deputy Commissioner Wally Haumaha last year." "This is despite telling...
"Did you read the bit where she said she was working from recollection and she never said there was only one text?" Bridges questioned Ardern the day before in Parliment about communications with Handley. Even if I am charitable and agree Ardern forgot, ...
