My goodness there are some lessons for Labour NZ to learn from this excellent Huff Post article, if only they would
Yes, whatever happened to good old what, why, when, where and how. Enough of those "Does the minister stand by his statement........?" So wishy washy and ineffective as it only commands the answer "yes"
Do you seriously believe that your 2 examples would go through the convoluted and secretive processes tha the MF/ Panama papers reveal is rife among these foreign trusts?
Heavy transport and roading industry
Is smugness the problem with the left? A long read in The Vox analysing the alienation of the liberal left from the 'red neck' working class they used to represent. http://www.vox.com/2016/4/21/11451378/smug-american-liberalism I know I'm guilty of many of...
My newfoundland was viciously attacked by a Jack Russel and my standard schnauzer was mauled by 2 greyhounds. Neither of those are fighting breeds, but what they did was horrid.
it was an alien party, not Labour at all in my mind, hijacked by Roger Douglas and Richard Prebble, and we all know what those 2 went on to do.
Not sure his politics are that different to ours, it's only a matter of degree. It was pretty obvious in the PM and his media flunkies comments on the anti TPPA protests for example. The derogatory comments towards protestors is just the beginning
You only "quite like it"? Not really a reason for changing the flag.
As someone who works in the mental health sector in Christchurch, I can tell you that you are talking utter bollocks. The cases that come in are heartbreaking and the numbers are certainly not declining. It was spelled out very clearly at the time of the ...
The roots of the Green Party are clearly expressed in their Charter. While the environment is central, it has always been balanced by social justice and democratic principles. "The charter is the founding document of The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand...
Get rid of the Clubtocracy! Love it
I notice the Herald's opinion pieces on the TPPA protest and Waitangi don't have a comments section ( even dear Heather, who did have yesterday now doesn't). I wonder why
A colonial gal's view of TPPA, protests, Te Tiriti, and the media coverage - my latest blog post: http://abrainydeal.me/2016/02/08/tpp-is-the-new-imperialism/
Can't help wondering if there is conflict of interest among certain NT MPs ((John Key) springs to mind - any declaration of investment in those Third party funding investors. Who is really going to benefit from nation states having to go into arbitration (...
Of course Key would think Gandhi was just another left wing rent a mobster
No wonder you're a Key supporter, your contempt for people and the democratic process is staggering
So far removed from reality, aren't you, that you don't even recognise ordinary people when you see them.
PM not going to Waitangi
Thanks for the interesting clip - would be great to see road/traffic initiatives in the Christchurch rebuild
Brilliant and heartbreaking photography and writing from a former Wall Street trader. Just imagine John Key doing this: http://www.businessinsider.com/chris-arnade-photos-of-bronx-addicts-2013-12
Of course he would, it is classic out of the right wing text book, that was taken to extremes in the mid twentieth century. So much for "Lest we forget".
It's Goff and Shearer who are the dogmatists, as are Key and his cronies, after all it was Groser who described the TPPA as having to swallow a dead rat - only dogmatists do that.
So Goff has been given dispensation because of his historic role in TPPA, you'd have thought a better man would have stood up and said "this is not what I fought for, we should have done much better for our country." Andrew Little is not the pope to give ...
I've already sent the following to all Labour MPs: "Well done on finally coming out against the TPPA. At last you are standing up for the people of NZ and showing a united front of opposition parties to this appalling government. I am however appalled at ...
How many of these agreements give away our sovereignty to foreign corporations? There is a difference when it is a government to government give and take, as opposed to a corporate profit grab
Do Goff and Shearer really not understand that this is the first real opportunity to show that the opposition parties are strongly united on an issue that actually could resonate with the public
Funny how you find Cunliffe an embarrassment, but not John Key who has been and continues to be far more of an embarrassment than Cunliffe ever could be. And if it is insincerity and platitudes you deplore, then direct your comments to the National Party ...
This is precisely why Labour is bleeding to death - no principles, no standing for what is right. For once I have to say I agree with a John Key statement: "Get some balls!" Shearer had the opportunity to show that Labour does actually offer something ...
it's got nothing whatsoever to do with political correctness, and everything to do with common decency and propriety.
Because the silver fern options are lemons, poorly designed, look ridiculous when the wind blows them back to front, and as far as I am concerned do not represent a New Zealand I want to be part of.
