At an electorate level i'm not bothered by this at all. No doubt there are a handful of electorates around the country that do have significant issues with central govt policy or the direction of travel of govt on the whole. That funding has allowed a ...
I guess the rubber has hit the road, too many councils underinvested in core infrastructure prefering to push funding into more glamerous projects and keep rates artificially low and voters were quite happy to vote for it. Surely large rate rises to cover ...
Excellent I like to spread the word when I find a good little nursery...
If you are after subtropicals I really do recommend checking out and supporting Twin falls in the Far North... good people lovely plants. https://www.twinfallsnursery.co.nz/
Probably because Millsy appears to be quite happy to imprision people for what he beleives is 'wrong think'
https://at.govt.nz/about-us/news-events/service-disruptions//about-us/news-events/service-disruptions Found this for 2021 bet its the same issue
Rumour has it that the peice of essential maintenance to complete was the https://inlandrail.artc.com.au/rail-destressing-101/#:~:text=Destressing%20is%20the%20process%20of,prepare%20the%20rail%20for%20operation.&text=The%20optimum%2C%20or%20stress%20free,...
Sadly this is right on point. It would be transformational if a political party pledged to vest power and funding in to local communties instead of relentless centralization.
The Nats are pretty cunning what chance one of recipients is from the 'left' side... someone like Kris Faafoi perhaps...
Ideology.
Id be quite happy for the pair of them to be disqualified. Neither are fit for the role.
Well, speaking from personal experience hes a very effective electorate mp... I think because he has wanted to secure his Epsom seat and make it immposible for the Nats to sink him. I reckon hes acheived that. I'd also call him very determined to acheive ...
Not that suprising, he's been in or on the news almost daily for the last few weeks... essentially his soap box now has a megaphone attached and like it or not there are a plenty of NZrs who like what hes got to say about the treaty etc. I reckon hes ...
Previously yes, but he's actually a very active and effective elecorate mp so I doubt a Nat candidate would get near him even with say Luxon's endorsement.
Broadly agree although now I think we've reached or possibly passed the point where prohibition does more harm than good. Theres now a massive black market for ciggarettes and its a very lucrative trade without the penalties that come with the likes of ...
Does prohibition in all its forms ever work?
Yeah, only need to do the math on a $2 Broccoli head at countdown in season to figure that the people that actually do the hard bit are getting shafted.
Yep in NZ its an opportunity to do new things, have run across a few mango trees doing well and fruiting outside in Auckland, Sugarcane on the marginal land in the North, Bannanas, Pineapples on a commercial scale we are actually well placed.
Trump managed to successfully engage a massive cohort of people who regular politics had left behind. In a NZ context its like he managed to energize the whole of West and South Auckland to vote for him. Boris sorta did the same, theres a lesson for the ...
Wee bit of setup cost but can get a digital label setup that works off gps and a wifi connection that auto buys the rucs as needed.
We definitly need to find a way to have the conversation and modernize the treaty arrangements to better reflect society. The trick will be figuring out how the hell we do it.
Lots of good stuff there, I for one dont understand the fasination with big centralized beucaracy on the left (although as you point out completely understandable how we got there) The solutions to so many things are local and community lead, to my mind a ...
I suspect Act will be more than willing to fill that vacuum and no doubt Winston will hop on the bandwagon if it helps get a pet project or 3 across the line.
Dunno, was a record margin which is ominous https://apnews.com/article/trump-iowa-caucus-haley-desantis-cold-voting-begins-0af10f1ba21d488af54776b2c8d4028c
Definitly not an implosion, probably indicative of a need to look at candidate selection and support as the party and number of mp's grows. Political life is a particulary brutal one especially when you advocate for minority causes and I suspect plenty of ...
Fairly high given the number of mp's?
A dedicated busway would be the best bet imo, we'll also need to get some land back off the ports for the exchange apperently theres not alot of capacity to put more busses into the city. Could get rid of the carparks on Dominion road to make space. Theres...
Generally crop insurance is completely cost prohibative in terms of orchards etc as there are to many thing that go wrong will the crop is still on the plant so to speak. In terms of picking teams and packhouses staff move around the various orchards ...
The accusations are one thing, the way theyve been presented reeks of a political hit job designed to create as much damage as possible. It seems very likely theyve waited till the accused is overseas so as to create a time lag in any communication between...
Theres a second accuastion up on the herald now and a little bit more detail about the first. 15k in clothes since returned! https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/golriz-ghahraman-allegations-mp-allegedly-identified-in-second-shoplifting-incident/...
Unfortunatly theyre still in their able to blame the previous govt time window.
