Ad, National spent it's whole 9 years throwing huge dollars at stuff with no real business case or cost benefit analysis ($12 billion on motorways that rarely passed a business case). From tax to education this government is putting in place good process ...
I am reminded of the lyrics in the Beatles' song "Blackbird" "Take these broken wings and learn to fly" This Government has to pick up a broken systems and try to fly with them. Meanwhile National's army of grey head men in suits are already in attack mode...
I see people wearing 'Maori First!' or 'Maori and Proud!' t-shirts. I wonder, the meaning behind this if the word is replaced with any 'non-Maori' term. At which point is racism actually defined? Promoting any 'race' as being above any other surely is just...
Thanks for publishing my blog post here. I have added a little more to my post and included recognition that the fossil fuel and auto industries have probably done more to cause climate change and delay action than anything else. If we have true justice ...
Hopefully I haven't repeated something that has already been said but surely a key focus of this government should be strengthening the Fourth Estate and investing in quality, independent public broadcaster If we pay good journalists well and have a robust...
"Environment policy aims to minimise the use of all persistent, environmentally damaging, or non-sustainably produced poisons." I would just point out that it's debatable whether 1080 can be called "persistent". Being a salt, it's highly soluble in water, ...
Have to call out Hamish Fletcher's Herald Article today as the very reason the trickle down concept and neoliberalism could never work for all in a progressive and modern society; http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11926843...
I don't understand why people commenting here are so influenced by right wing commentators. Of course we need a capital gains tax, it was Jacinda who weakened. As even Corin explained later on the 6pm news, James' statement will actually bring in support ...
Can't believe labour were so dumb here. Ditching the leader this close, and for Jacinda. Seriously?
"...who could have presented a strong, and therefore more credible left wing Leader." I wouldn't go that far myself, I think the center appeal and moderate is necessary. they need to be getting their additional votes from national and NZF, not the greens. ...
so a person some of you voted for (a lot of you didn't vote for) gets to say who comes in to the country and who doesn't and of cause he would know best because he was elected cool
In clarification, NZ Premier says his country was only voicing regret at diplomatic schism their support for the resolution caused, *not for supporting the resolution http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.795609

Exactly. A few days ago there was absolutely no vacancy we were assured, and jacinda not up to the job (sadly true). king amongst the best labour has, but a little tainted by the connections to the eighties and not very forward looking.

It is really hard to get rid of myths, Russel never said " that the Greens could go with National". He was asked a direct question whether we would consider a coalition with National and he made it very clear that the Greens would not support National "for...
Simple. Israel is a terrorist nation founded on terrorism and murder with terrorist organisations that predate any palestinian organisations in the mid east. It is also a criminal and morally corrupt nation. Even its own Theodor Meron, the chief legal ...

The Syrian revolution is not about how palatable this or that militia is to Western liberals who conveniently overlook the role of the West in destroying countries that do not submit to its interests, but what it means to the Syrian people. The popular ...
its right wing voters who bullshited all over the place pricks like BM and infused in a chorus of national party bullshit have caused this contamination key should meet an equally turdy end to his disastrous reign as prime shiter.
