The Epsom seat deal where ACT got a free pass from National for years. I started thinking, what benefit have the voters of that electorate got from the deal having Seymour as their MP over Paul Goldsmith. Goldsmith being told he cannot campaign for the ...
Yeah good idea, we can use chemtrails to do it.
the term is not a particularly flattering one, maybe a 'kept man' or political gigolo might be another terminology.
strange as the following may be I find myself feeling the need to defend David Seymour. It seems a handful of years ago Peters called Seymour a cuckold, apparently because of the deal National made to keep ACT afloat in the Epsom electorate. My ...
Been a bit of a c lux ter fk for the coalition of chaos this past week. Winston being petulant and making luxon look week. Widespread condemnation of the tobacco law changes. Willis as much as admitting she cannot fund her tax cuts. Protests on the street ...
I didn't have a real issue with the generational ban and I am a smoker. Once the law was passed Seems silly to repeal it on the basis of choice, giving people the choice whether they want to smoke or not. Is is a sensible thing to give people to take up a ...
Rock Solid on her costings before the election Whilst almost everyone else was calling the costings fanciful or BS. A classic case of make up some BS to get elected and then worry later how to pay for it. Nicola now finds herself having to pay for it and ...
if Labour find themselves in a similar position that National does, needing support partners who are not just simple to fob off, I am not upset about that. Had Labour been able to form a govt this time round I would have been very happy with them being ...
it's worth pointing out that race politics can be different from labour/capital politics. the 2 can intersect regularly, especially given that the expansion of the British and other empires was entwined with the development of capitalism. But empire ...
the new govt cabinet is pretty short on talent and intellectual heft. iy will be a big test for many of them to put things into action. the hypocrisy of act is stunning though
until a firearms registry tracks the sale of guns and makes it harder for gun dodgy gun owners to sell them on to gangs. when ACT dismantles that register the flow of guns to gangs can flow freely. Makes a mockery of all the tough on crime rhetoric we have...
nanny statism from the ACT party and wasting tax payers money on ideological policies - Seymour the Deputy Prime Money Waster. His third in control determined to make it easier for gangs to get guns, more armed hold ups and drive by shootings. The police ...
are you meaning a dump of information on a friday, or, the government looks like it is a dump, or, looks the results of someone taking a dump on friday?
It's telling that one of this Governments greatest assets is an almost 80 year old with a dubious history of delivering stable government. Seymour must be spitting that he will be Deputy PM second, will there be a government for his to be deputy in by then...
they are committed to climate change. their policies are committed to more greenhouse gases being released than under the track of the previous government, more climate warming, more unstable weather and a resultant higher cost. Absolutely committed to ...
you must have had really really really really really really low expectations then Jack.
Have we seen a staler less talented cabinet in am NZ govt in modern times? Reading through it I was stunned by the lack of talent and the number of journeymen politicians. As for "policies" if you can call them that just a few that I would mention A return...
Lol nice one John. Great use of ironic humor. One telling thing for me though is the return of the 3 strikes law. 6 weeks wait for a waste of time and money ideological bit of law thst wont do anything but cost tax payers more simply to keep one party ...
wow! that's a 'lot of progress' towards a 'strong and stable government' of interest, does anyone know what Simeon Brown is actually doing aside from just parroting what Luxon says
But didn't that guy have a lot of experience with negotiations at air nz and Unilever? I mean surely they level of vast experience should have meant a government by now. Surely....
Hmmm. I am fairly confident Prime Minister Peter's will be able to keep his co deputy PM, Luxon and Seymour, in line.
100 days of action - first half has been spent trying to cobble together a government By the time this shower get things together inflation will have run its course Mini budget by Christmas.......2024
Big talk - small action Getting close huh Luxon? So is Christmas
if you talk a big game, match it with action. no sign of a coalition government deal being actioned thus far
Cluxon - lol. A new nickname has been born
Looks increasingly like all he was capable of negotiating was the colour of the lollies given out on AirNZ flights. Did he actually mean a SLOW and stable government? And how 'rock solid' is he now on the amount of tax cuts? He said he would negotiate a ...
did Luxon say strong and stable government or SLOW and stable government. Imagine how long it would take if he wasn't 'experienced doing mergers and negotiations etc with AirNZ and Unilever'. And was it before christmas 2023 or 2024 that he wants to ...
might be wise for the leaders of Israel to remember what the Nazis did in Warsaw during ww2. some real similarities. regardless of the wrong on both sides, and there are wrongs and atrocities committed by both sides, if the Jewish leaders expect the world ...
well I'll be damned. sunlight dishwashing liquid, another thing we used to make in this country but no more
yup, my same thoughts. like an alcoholic waiting for the pub to open
yes. a "30% reduction" would occur if production remains static but be less if production increases. Any reduction is useful but the Fonterra announcement is not the silver bullet by any means. Much more is needed.
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
