scum that floats in ponds will fall to the bottom and subsequently drown. If we have to do Haiku here.
Yes, that was the point I was trying to make. Neither National nor Labour want a register of the beneficial owners of land in NZ. Beneficial is the key word.
Ok I'm probably wrong in some way, but that says 2016 when the Nats were in power. My point was he campaigned on it again in 2017 and nothing ever happened.
Well yeah, but for a tax evader or white collar worker the non declared partner is a prostitute who is part of the business program. And therefor deductible as an entertainment expense.
One of Winstone's best policies he campaigned on in 2017 was setting up a land register. Every single property in NZ would be on a database and the beneficial owners recorded on the register no matter the ownership vehicle, be it a company, trust or ...
NZ runs the most self-regulating hands off tax system in the world. For that to work, you need to make the consequences of being caught far greater than the benefit of rorting the system, Like just removing the house, and any others they own, from ...
Well at least we will know what the agenda is, fish out all marine stocks completely (Goodfellow has been selling down his Sanford shares for years as he knows the time is near when they are all gone), and convert to dairy subsidised by a National ...
I used to see these woofers dropped off at the intercity bus every day. There was a hug, and then the owner walked away and you could see the cold steely glint in their eye as they anticipated the next sucker coming along to do slave labour for next to ...
It's quite clear that Labour have no intention to do anything about property prices. In fact they seem quite happy with them spiralling out of control, firstly by Jacinda proclaiming she wouldn't let house prices fall, and second by the RBNZ deferring LVR ...

How much will it cost to be euthanized. Is it a doctors fee + prescription Certainly not cheap at the vet. And who is going to profit from this. Can't see any answers on the referendums website.
Used to see him down at the Herne Bay Fish Mart, doing his creepy do you know me type voice, trying to get an extra piece of fish I guess. Then there was Ralston, buying his Lotto ticket every week, trying to become someone. It's not until you meet these ...
Not just John Key appearing on the scene, so is Peter Godfellow. Who is paying John Key for his input. He is a mercenary, a spokesperson for the elite. Perhaps the Exclusive Brethren, or is it the Broederbond.
Considering how often I comment here I don't get your point. It's not like I am trying to establish a following here and then try and then subvert that. But yeah you make the rules so I will desist from making pointless comments in future.
Only reason for changing it was because someone had taken up using Duncan on the Daily Blog and I thought they might be using it here as well and didn't wan't any confusion.
Just out of curiosity Andre, can wind turbine blades not be made of carbon fibre epoxy composites. I would have thought with NZ's expertise in high performance Americas Cup boats and now Rocket Lab carbon fibre tech we would be well placed to create such ...
Icky to Yicky.
Ah no I will not be drawn into your deflection. If you want to use it as a reference then you cite the study and what the abstract says. Not just use an industry generated headline as proof.
That's a total fob off and deflection of what I said. That Time article is BS, and yet you say you used it to make a point.
If you go and read that Time article Weka you will see it is BS. No where did the study say to eat butter, it was more along the lines of "butter is no worse, or only slightly worse for you, than margarine". You should do a bit more research on it and how ...
weka, I remember you three or four years ago saying we should not over emphasise the threats of climate change because it would scare people and turn them off wanting to change. And nothing happened in the interim. People need to get organised, coherent, ...
My favourite song of all time. Some similarity in the facial appearance of Marc Bolan and Greta. Personally I have never seen a reason to get excited about humanities direction until Greta announced a purpose and anger that to me is refreshing. I just hope...
Phil your depiction of bank capital adequacy requirements and understanding of how they maintain capital is spot on and something all should know. But the derivatives are off balance sheet items and you are wrong to dismiss the impact on financial ...
I haven't followed the Standard for a while. Was there any comment about Stephen Harper's secret meetings with Bill English and John Key about 4 weeks ago. These people will never let go or give up in their quest.
You're deluded Gosman if you think the answer to the housing crisis is just building more and more houses. What is the point if kiwis cannot afford them. The point of kiwibuild is to build house that are in the bottom quartile of prices and so make more of...
You seem to think money comes from the government printing press Gosman which is not generally true. Most of it comes from banks creating more money every time they book a loan. A bank only needs to hold around 14% capital, and the rest it can lend. This ...
I agree totally, and the whole argument that farmers are relying on is that stock numbers have not changed much since 1991, so therefore the methane is stable as it is broken down and recycled and therefore has no impact on warming. But of course, the ...
This whole argument about methane has been carefully crafted to ensure NZ agriculture is exempt from any tax on methane. The argument is, the level of methane is stable as it is short lived and is converted to CO2, absorb by pasture and then eaten and ...
I agree with all that. Immigration should be seen as much an environmental issue as a socio-economic issue. When you have no, or little immigration, then people, hapu, iwi, or entire countries, have to live within their means, and the means are determined ...
The prophets of doom in the 1980s were not that far off. You would have to be blind or intentionally unseeing not to notice the rarity of the nuclear family in today's society. There are of course other factors than just the rise of homosexuality: ...
“We think patsy questions are a waste of time…” I agree. So why don’t they grow a spine and ask some decent questions about subjects or issues closest to their own heart, thus representing their constituency who voted for them. It’s not as if Labour ...
