"Coronavirus: Suicide rates went down during lockdown in NZ, Australia, other countries - study" - Newshub, 14/04/2021 https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2021/04/coronavirus-suicide-rates-went-down-during-lockdown-in-nz-australia-other-countries-...
Vile stuff, even for him. Effectively sabotaging efforts to help Maori. Its straight out of Trumps playbook. This will come back to bite him.
Nailed it.
Her choice of support people is indicative.. "the old guard" Her time has passed. Indeed, and I think you've hit it on the head, Patricia. It strikes me that the Nats are fighting a political game from last decade - if not last century - and have clearly ...
Indeed, McFlock, indeed. We've seen it all overseas. Not something I want to see here in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Thanks, Patricia. Truth to tell, though I'm still on duty (essential worker in the Health sector), my roster has been amended so having extra time. Plus my partner and I are in separate bubbles so time spent together is now spent on our own... No grizzling...
"Maybe it’s better to accept some COVID risk in the community if the evidence is starting to Mount that lockdowns aren’t the best solution" Accepting covid in the community means accepting people filling our hospitals; our ICU wards; Long Covid affecting ...
Excellent blogpost, Micky. Salient points and well researched. Have noticed pretty much the same thing, and methinks Ms Vance doth protest too much. The msm is not above scrutiny by the public, just as politicians aren't above scrutiny by the media. If, as...
Hmmmm, liking that one, centurion!! thumbs up
"Mysterious socialist hermit kingdom" I know that was meant as a slur, but, goddamn, it is Just So F*****g Cool! When we're out of lockdown, I'm making badges out of it!! "Right now we are being inundated with bad Covid takes, particularly from the United...
Well. Bloody. Said. Will be doing likewise as well, with my Covid diary updates on my blog.
Fran, how that does square against my Bill of Rights not to be infected by Covid mutations that unvaccinated people will be brewing and spewing out at us? There's an old saying that your rights to freedom end at my nose. Never were truer words said.
"Thankfully the opposition was a rabble and completely unprepared." Next time we may not be so lucky. Trump 2.0 will be better prepared.
Un-f*****g-believable. This is entitlement/privilege at its most vile and loathsome. Time to bring in a Capital Gains Tax on rental properties - and make it painful.
" Is "dirty politics" now just a euphemism for "stuff I don't understand"? Problem is, 'SHG', we understand all too well...
I've always wondered (and thought) that Matthew Hooten has a unique approach when speaking on Radio NZ. He understands that the audience for RNZ is (generally) more sophisticated and critical than the moblike mentality that is attracted to Rantback Radio. ...
Maggie, your story about that Church and demand for public shaming by you, rings true. A female friend of mine related a story of her niece being raped by her father. Their church persuaded the nice not to go to the police as it was "better to forgive" ...
Even you should know that having a pissing contest over who’s the most evil isn’t a rational argument Red. That sort of thing is simply a way to move the heat off you onto someone more “deserving” in your opinion It reminds me of ten year olds pointing to...
Beautifully written. I believe the sentiment is shared by most New Zealanders who are fair minded and believe in giving people a fair go. The vitriolic response from a (hopefully) tiny, raucous minority shows those individuals in a poor light.
Imagine wearing a mini-skirt in New Zealand in 1925! I can imagine the criminal charges that would follow from that.
Suddenly my respect for David Farrar has gone up 100-fold...
That's a shitload of candles on his next mega-cake!!
"If inflation meant everything was increasing in price by 10 percent a year do you think you would be getting a pay rise if you received an 8 percent increase in your income?" Yes, you would. The pay rise would be real. It just wouldn't keep pace with ...
Gosman, no doubt your are familiar with Shakespeare's quote, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Apply that to Simon Bridges' "tax adjustment". In other words, "A tax cut by any other name, would still reduce tax".
"Hamas will never agree to anything other than the total demise of Israel. " 'Chuck', I don't think Hamas is required to destroy Israel. The stupidity of Israel's Establishment will suffice. They are their own worst enemy. The likes of Sachs only ...
Mack, you're invoking NASA? Excellent. This is what they have to say on the subject: The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity ...
Mack, if you want evidence, try NASA, NOAA, NIWA, plus a whole bunch of other science institutions. If you want reinforcement for your faith-based belief system on this issue - just keep doing what you're doing.
I concur, MB. The operative is Slater, with info fed by Collins. It fits their M.O. by about 100%, complete with txt-messaging: https://www.nbr.co.nz/article/key-forced-backtrack-over-texts-slater-165934
But will Mr Brash? Or only when it suits him?
The media release from the Free Speech Coalition was issued in the name of Chris Trotter. Previous PRs supporting the two Canadian Polite Fascists were done by Don Brash. Mr Brash has been eerily silent on Ms Manning.
