I agree. Not convinced at all. Michael Baker and Professor Nick Wilson share our concerns.
If that is the case it should be prohibited.
Graeme Hart gains $3.4 billion during COVID. Further proof ( if you needed it ) that the death cult a.k.a. neoliberal capitalism must be swept away, just an the Ancient Regime was thrown out in 1789. The rich are a real problem to the health of humanity ...
Key knighted Talley. And we now find another reason why that was such a wonderful decision. They dump their contaminants down the drain. What a wonderful company! What a wonderful man! And further evidence of New Zealand being such a clean green nation. ...
We have compulsory mask wearing on buses and airplanes. Such rules should be extended to supermarkets, shops and other indoor places where strangers congregate.
Time to make scanning/ signing in compulsory and mask wearing compulsory indoors. Time to lower the number of arrivals.
The only good news is that she used her COVID App properly. The government needs to listen to Michael Baker. Listening to the news and he is saying the following. Hotels are not the places to manage isolation. We must stop entry of people from highly ...
Potential community case in Northland. Ashley Bloomfield to make an announcement at 4 pm
Superb post Ad.
Thank you Morrissey. I have seen Annie Goldson's brilliant documentary and would like to see it again.
On that point Morrissey, did you ever see John Pilger's film 'The War You Don’t See'? This film used the shocking footage of the Apache gunship in Iraq in 2007. It is a reminder how Wikileaks were a serious threat to the establishment and had ( in the ...
This al Jazeera article lists the supporters and detractors of Assange. In support of Assange... Jeremy Corbyn Noam Chomsky Yanis Varoufakis Rafael Correa Roger Waters Tulsi Gabbard John Pilger Critical of Assange Mitch McConnell John Bolton https://www....
Sorry to see you leave.
Great to see you back, Nick. Just listened to Roger Waters being interviewed by George Galloway. This interview was conducted the day before Assange was freed. Waters has been a great advocate of Assange, one of the few to speak up on behalf of Julian. The...
Thanks Phillip for your leadership here. I stopped eating meat 3 years ago because of climate change and animal cruelty. A welcome side effect is that a plant based diet is also excellent for one’s health. My nephew showed me the film ‘Earthlings ‘ which ...
Thank you Phillip for your insight here. There is also the case of of how the supermarkets deal with their staff. When they were essential workers, they were treasured for a while. But now we are no longer in lockdown, are bad habits slipping back in and ...

To further my point. The UK had over 50000 COVID cases yesterday. Vietnam has had over 30 times less than this in total since the start of the pandemic. Just over 1400 cases and 35 deaths in a country of about 96 million. In the words of Sonny Liston I’d ...
Totally with you Millsy. The COVID experience has shown that socialist nations and countries with centrally planned economies have managed the virus well. Neoliberalism has been a superspreader for the disease. People above profits. Capitalism is the ...
Thank you for your reply. The 2010 Law Commission report, Alcohol in Our Lives: Curbing the Harm, made some key recommendations. Key policy recommendations included: _ raising the price of alcohol by an average of 10% through excise tax increases; _ ...
Your comments are noted. As a matter of interest. 1. Do you think the regulations surrounding alcohol are fit for purpose? 2. Do you think we should be concerned about animal welfare in industrial farming?
Brilliant Adrian.
I do not eat meat or drink alcohol. Consuming one is devastating for our planet and the other is detrimental to our society.
No, you are correct. In New Zealand, it is not a class a drug. However, it should be. And that is the view of many drug experts. You don't dispute the damage it does, do you? The Ministry of Health estimates that over 780,000 adults are hazardous drinkers ...
I agree Millsy. Heaps of people manage to drink and get drunk on NYE without trashing a cafe. Even young people. And the cost to New Zealand is way wider and deeper than a Whangamata cafe. The cost to New Zealand of alcohol is extreme. 8000 premature ...
Alcohol should be classified as one. Many independent experts think so. Alcohol is the world's most dangerous drug when you consider the harm it does to drinkers, their friends and families, and society in general. The harm that alcohol does exceeds the ...
New Zealand has a serious problem with alcohol. The reporting in this article about this riot in Whangamata is part of the issue. At no stage does it address the issue of this class A drug's vice like grasp over the levers of control in this country. The ...
Really interesting article. As the world isn’t in it all together, we are making the fight against COVID so much harder. Imagine if we were a world where the United Nations dictated our policies and we all followed it. Countries that refused to play by the...

It is a step....a tiny step. Tinkering isn’t going to break the grip neoliberal economic thinking has on this country.
Totally agree Adrian. Comment of the day.
