That'd be excellent.
He's insulting all of Labour and, in fact, all previous governments as well when he implies that the only reason to have a ministry for something is to sweep it under the carpet.
at least we avoid the “let’s give money away left right & centre as UBI” nonsense. Instead we'll just keep up the house price hyper-inflation that's causing so many to fall into poverty. Money needs to be pumped in to a growing economy and there's only ...
This is a weak point in MMP, which is supposed to increase representation not be used to reinforce majority rules. Why do people believe this BS that they make up? The point of MMP was to ensure that we'd actually have a government that had been voted in ...
... a little surprised they didn’t state a goal for banning...
They're certainly going to try but the answer to that is for us to prevent them. Difficult, yes especially considering that our government is more likely to listen to business than us - for now.
Not quite sure what the marijuana vote has to do with Labour.
Marijuana May Be The Least Dangerous Recreational Drug, Study Shows Marijuana is far safer than alcohol, tobacco and multiple other illicit substances, researchers say, and strict, legal regulation of cannabis might be a more reasonable approach than ...
You seem to be spouting BS.
And thus proving that the free-market brings about the worst possible result. Yes, a criminal market is the epitome of the free-market.
but you resort to misinformation What misinformation?
There's the parts where what they're doing is day to day stuff that they shouldn't be asking us about. There's also parts which determine the direction of the country, policies and how we interact with the rest of the world etcetera, where they should be ...

So the majority of voters votes for the current govt and we accept their insight, yet the majority vote no to this and the voter is castigated and “taking us back to the dark ages” But still accepted. The evidence shows that legalisation is the better ...
My reason being I couldn't see the gangs and tinny houses would quietly disappear and leave it to the regulated sources. They wouldn't disappear but they would shift to other illegal drugs. I felt they would simply undercut those legal sources and carry ...
/agreed
Yes they do - they just want to ensure that its in their control and not that of everyone else. That way they can make super-profits from everyone's pain.
What amuses me about them nay-sayers – and it includes a brother of mine – they voted NO conveniently forgetting they smoked cannabis themselves when they were young. They'll use that experience to say: Well, I know what I'm talking about then, don't I? ...

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Parents running their own business teaching their kids how to defraud the government.
The article clearly stated that they weren't entitled to it, that they didn't meet the criteria.
So, what you're after is a government group that researches sustainable farming and that progressive farmers can then join to use that government funded research?
I reckon they wouldn't care so long as the amount wasn't too much. My suggestion has always been to treat the human sewage, dry it, turn it into fine dust and then drop it using airships over the forest above the farms. The forests would be well fed (yes, ...
this is a representative democracy – we elect people to Parliament and then they do whatever they see fit. What our intentions were when we voted for them counts for shit. As I say - Representative Democracy is an Elected Dictatorship and is not fit for ...
Looking at an article from 2018 "$3500 bill for every household in small-town New Zealand to fix ageing wastewater plants". Implies that many weren't maintained – stupid stupid stupid…. To do the maintenance properly would have required putting the rates ...
Our local education industry hasn’t been producing enough local tech ...
Wouldn't that be, like, up to those farmers? IIRC, Federated Farmers is a voluntary organisation that farmers don't have to belong to.
A test that was allowed by law.
People applying for that which they're not entitled to is corruption and many of those kids weren't entitled to it. Considering that the kids probably didn't think of doing so (14 yo doing paper runs?) and so it was probably the parents idea and coaching. ...
Smart children? The ministry said people “working very low hours and earning considerably less than the subsidy rate” were making windfall gains from the payment. “An example of a self-employed worker gaining a windfall payment through the scheme is ...
If we don't then we are doomed, I tells ya, doomed! Pretty much. Unless we do start acting collectively and not at the whims of the rich and greedy.
