There’s really no good justification for the SH1 Otaki to Levin section expenditure. Cough cough but really? Apart from the bottleneck (or perhaps because of it) there is a major issue with crashes and subsequent deaths. I'll have a guess you are resident...
Sorry, it's a valid point. How does signing up for FB prevent any party from simply dreaming up nonsense policies? It doesn't. It's a valid point expressed clearly and I would have expected mods to point that out to you. How about attempting to debate the ...
All sizzle no vegetarian sausage. How will that stop a party saying promising to deliver 100,000 homes yet delivering even a fraction of them?
I don't normally bit but you last sentence is laughable and misses the entire point. This is the first survey - you cannot generalise or indeed draw any conclusions from a single poll. This is the outlier - it could be right, or it could be wrong and it ...
The responses here are looking a little desperate ie looking for good news. I have no idea how the writer can claim this is the latest Stuff YouGov poll given it is as I understand it the first. That surely suggests that regardless of what this specific ...
Oh shit. A shock to read about Shelley's death. Almost as much as agreeing with the Standard ;) And TRP it was a great post too. The one thing I would question to a degree is the comment that "And yeah, we fought the Punk Wars and the dinosaurs won. " I ...
... misogynist, belittling language one time, Dazzer. Please don't do it again...
It is a tad ironic to say the least for anyone on the left to want to compare with Australia. Australia has made its relative fortune in large part through exploiting natural resources. There is nothing like the left wanting Australian wages on the one ...
Got me there. I thought you were talking out Mallard. Yes, he should be docked his pay for not doing his job.
Except in this instance, Wayne is 100% correct. Air NZ is NOT an SOE so the directors have a legal obligation to act in the best interests of their shareholders. It just happens that the Govt is the majority shareholder. I suppose the Govt could choose to ...
"There has been not a peep from the so called backbone of the country since the news broke." BS
I'm assuming Alwyn can read ...
Smile and wave in red is still smile and wave.
I'm thinking it was Alan Bright around 1976
Wouldn't it be more economic to have blue and red versions of "smile and wave"? To be fair, it worked for the Nats for a long time and now Labour is getting the same payback.
Funniest post ever ... you demand the media focus on the Labour's message not personality ... but then want to focus on English's stodgy personality. Love you work!
A reasonable question for weka: "... we might now get to see a move towards the real potential of MMP and the beginning of co-operative politics" So I assume you then support the Greens working with National or does co-operative politics only apply to the ...
"Documents obtained by Checkpoint show landlords have taken the two women to the tenancy tribunal six times for not paying rent and damaging property." http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/201851516/dunedin-mp-camps-out-in-octagon-...
To me the highlight of new Labour's political strategy. There is no policy or no policy with integrity. Labour supported a change of flag at the last election. However, quite clearly, there is one caveat - that can only happen on Labour's watch. Labour ...
Seriously? The fear on the right is that Little will go - at present, the best chance for the Nats is if Little stays and leads Labour lower (I like my alliteration). It's not fear of his ideas. Key couldn't believe his luck that Little was making his job ...
Of all the nutty comments the Greens could make, this takes the tofu. Who would know how many farmers will fail? And if he knows that, why doesn't he tell them so the poor buggers can have a sleep in and not worry about getting up for milking. I'm happy to...
Idiotic action but I would not support her losing her job for being an idiot. Deserve a medal?? All this will do will make politicians of all colours a target and create a culture where security will take precedence. And if I was a politician I would ask ...
Locus you miss my point on two levels. As a number have said, it's little surprise that there was a larger element at Eden Park today who booed Key. TRP seemingly accepts this point - as the background I gave supports, there are very very strong historical...
Not at all. I am clearly surprised at how many hear don't understand how entwined league and Labour have been. That many here think there's no difference simply underlines my point. That it is someone from the other side of the fence pointing this out - ...
@TRP not sure I am as weird as you think but I'll take that as a compliment. I would be surprised if they thought they wouldn't have considered they would get a reaction of sorts. As I said, it's no secret that Helen was a mad Warriors fan and league in AK...
FFS Stop showing a. your ignorance and b. how disconnected people here are from the real world. It's a rugby league event, not a rugby event. If you don't understand the difference constituencies between a rugby crowd and a league crowd, your parents ...
For goodness sake, what would Waitakere Man think about that. Someone at that Standard can't even differentiate between rugby and league. Given that this was Helen Clark's core constituency and she was a dedicated Warriors fan, it's hardly surprising.
This is funny. You seem to have missed the discussion about the stats which is the factual element. Good idea from your point of view I suppose. I've never used the word hatred but I did use the word cynicism. I am after all an ex member of the PPTA so I ...
Pleased to see that you are able to undermine your own comments by failure to process the information. Correct me if I am wrong on the facts as quoted in the Stuff article linked above: - 50 or so teachers have been trained under this programme - 20 ...
All I see from what Blip has written is a celebration of the union defending its members. No mention of the strong support from principals - the Stuff article mentions 20 principals which given the small number of trainee teachers involved suggests the ...
But not Labour Internet Mana Party (the acronym may not support any views on the new party's vigour)
