Stuart. So NZ isnt doing well but we are just doing better than everyone else? LOL
as i said, less than 1% of Auckland. Earthernwork (red clay) pipework just does not last that long. It has all been replaced and upsized. Infrastructure (disposal) has been upgraded and changed multiple times. A 4 foot diameter pipe going out into the ...
When talking about immigration control then yes you need to talk about the countries that immigration is coming from that you can actually control. NZ cannot control NZers coming home or Aussies or (most) English coming here and while NZ has a strong ...
Tracey. I would be surprised if >1% of Auckland sewer network is 100 years old.
weka. Why do you throw racism into the pot? How is immigration a race issue?
Carolyn. to use your example KMart would too responsible for letting to many shoppers in thru the doors and overwhelming their infrastructure. Chicken and the egg... do you get the shoppers to get the income then build the infrastructure... or borrow and ...
Wrong. 2005 just before going into coalition with Labour. (and screwing the Greens) "It involves for my colleagues a real sacrifice, but we willingly make it. For my part, I never took as deputy Prime Minister ministerial cars or a house, so we genuinely ...
and Lab plus Greens 08/11/14/17 is.. 41 41 38 43 so what did Taxcinda achieve exactly? Get Labour back to where Shearer had them?
well there is about 20 million cubic meters of milk produced a year... getting rid of the water (80%?) out of it seems pretty sensible to me.. maybe they can arrange a water tax refund for putting that back into the environment?
Yeah right. Apples and bananas there.. Westland is what.. a 50th the size of Fonterra?
Complete bullshit. If money alone worked the TOP would have got 20% rather than being listed alongside Mana and Internet in "other"
Funny. Lefties whine that NZ doesnt add value to products before sending them offshore then when a company does this they whine about a chap getting paid a fair whack. That glass of milk really is half empty all the time huh?
peter. Money doesnt win elections, but lack of clear policy loses them.
CGT? I want it all inclusive and maybe around 15%
Tracey. and the leader of the national Party, his name is Bill English. See how many snide alternatives versions you can find on this site.
Bob. Are you deluded or just misinformed? In a CGT all property will need to be valued as of the date of introduction (of the tax) and then CGT accrues after that. I really hoped for a fully worked CGT to be introduced. I would level the playing field wrt ...
No one wants to purchase finished timber from the bottom of the world. Lead times are too long and quality is impossible to control.
A couple of points for you. 1. There is no shortage of logs or timber available in New Zealand. 2. You have no idea whatsoever of the impact that timber has on the price of a house.
OAB Where did I lie?
If you think logs going offshore has anything at all to do with the housing problem in this country you really do need to pull your head out of your arsehole.
clean. If Greens went with Nats then they would drop socialist support and pick up blue/green support like myself.
AB. Greens could pick an issue and make it their raision d'etre. Clean rivers? Housing? climate? Pick one and make it a drop dead bottom line for support and they would get more done in the next tree years than they have achieved in the last 21 years. the ...
Omegas and doris are awesome. We have some weird early cropping hybrid thing too, ripens before xmas.
The logs will go where they are most needed. If its Chinese houses that get built with them why would I have a problem with that?
As previously stated I would love Winston to choose the Red team. I actually hoped Taxcinda would bring in a real CGT but she has backflipped on that.
Winston is a big Govt nanny state lover so well suited to Labour and Taxcinda has stated she wont raise the pension age so they dont have that to fight over unlike National. Winstons ego will drive the choice he makes. Deputy PM? But he is really too lazy ...
its more expensive to grow your own apples rather than buy them. Spraying is the cost. Plums are the fruit to grow.
Why arent the Greens banging on Bills door this morning looking to do a deal? They have leverage like no other time in the last 21 years. If Greens want action on climate or rivers or housing then pick one and they will get that one. Greens or Winston ...
I need to cut 20,000 down before i get to plant 60,000 .
So when Labour "lost" the election in 2005 what happened?
cleangreen. Please please please let Labour go into a threeway coalition with Greens and Winston. The resulting chaos would be outstanding. I think its far more likely that Labour will just ignore the Greens and go with Winston. As long as Lab + NZF > Nat ...
