She didn't deliver when it mattered. A disappointment to the left. Transformative change from someone who once worked for Tony Blair?
It's extremely unlikely to happen with any iteration of the National Party. Blue Greens is a fiction. A National Party that would be ready to save the environment and work to fight against climate change but not work to diminish social and economic justice...
Not if we organise, mobilise and fight back Adam. I'm doing what I can trying to make connections where I live with people with the same values. What are you doing?
Reply to James Thrace upthread because on my PC a reply button on his comment is missing and likewise on Weka's reply. Adaptation means anticipating the adverse effects of climate change and taking appropriate action to prevent or minimise the damage they ...
Davidson and Swarbrick could always tithe 15% to the party.
Key said he donated his salary, or a "good part of it" to charity but never provided any proof. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/573560/Key-pledges-PMs-salary-to-charity Others, like me, have always been skeptical of anything Shonkey says. https...
I heard the head of the remuneration authority on RNZ on Midday Report I think saying part of the equation is that they found an equivalent role to measure against MPs against. But he didn't say what it was, and the RNZ "journalist" didn't ask him what it ...
Likewise. Any idea what individuals can do help Mickey? (I've re-joined the GP to make some local connections).
No, but then we've never had a government with such a destructive, spiteful and extremist agenda implemented in such a short time either. I'm with Phil Ure, it should be more.
Not sure how being a less than stellar Minister shows you might make a good mayor. Except in his own mind maybe.
Good planning by Luxon? Nah. By someone behind the scenes maybe.
I don't think it's "Minister" Chhour's decision to thumb her nose at the Waitangi Tribunal, it's those pulling her strings. We have to work towards this being a one-term government. We have 30 months.
"and def think we wouldn't under the current government". Which is why those who really care have to work to ensure this is a one-term government. I'm trying to make connections on my patch towards that. This nightmare has to end as soon as possible.
I don't think your out-there approach is gaining many converts Phil :), but if a true faux meat can be created for the carnists - woot! I'm hanging out for a synthetic milk so the dairy industry can go the way of the dinosaurs.
I think you're right about Greens-Labour and the Greens wanting to claim a larger space on the left. From a couple of comments I've heard the relationship between the Greens and Te Pati Maori is friendly (and I'm sure there are some shared values). I don't...
'We seem to have a lot of trolls here lately sharing their reckons with us. They come and go I guess". I don't understand why people waste time and energy engaging with people who are not here to operate in good faith. It clogs threads up and diminishes ...
Currently only one country is committing genocide and having to answer a case brought to the International Court of Justice over its actions.
Yes this place is a little bit weird sometimes.
I never said they were diplomats. I'm fully aware that it was military people Israel was after. My point you're not responding to is the hypocrisy that says nothing about an Israeli attack on an Iranian embassy, regardless of who they wanted to eliminate, ...
One example of what I see as Western hypocrisy. https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350245033/live-explosions-heard-after-iran-launches-attack-israel-drones-shot-down Canadian president Justin Trudeau says his country stands with Israel. " Canada ...
"I believe humans have, can and will transcend their biological selves, by exercising choice, discretion, kindness and forgiveness". Even members of the current government. đ
Luckily I don't expect other people to go vegan and I'm not trying to fool anyone, so I don't see where the dishonesty is. The only person I might have been fooling by using the term interchangeably is myself, because for my own reasons I wear wool jerseys...
Humans have choice and we can evolve. We don't have to kill and eat sentient beings.
As someone who was vegetarian for around 40 years before finally eliminating dairy from my diet I don't agree with your "with a great deal of diet planning and management" and "even more rigorous dietary planning". The switch to a animal-free diet can be ...
Now itâs a synonym for vegan, which makes it confusing and frankly dishonest. It can be used by some as a synonym for vegan but there is a difference and I don't agree that stems from dishonesty. Whatâs the Difference Between a Plant-Based and Vegan Diet? ...
If I get the opportunity I'll feed that back to the folk involved. I'm sure that sort of feedback will encourage them.

I became aware of this movement for the first time on Friday. The local Green Party branch had a presentation on it. Take the Jump NZ It started in the UK and they have supported a group to establish it here. "The project is co-led by the Nelson Tasman ...
Are you trying trying to argue that Israel is a liberal democracy?
Kia ora Weka, is X post-Musk still useful, I thought he'd turned it right and gutted it. I'd appreciate more links, but as I said on the "Strike" thread my energy is primarily focused elsewhere, where I believe I can actually make a difference in the life ...
I don't always/often agree with you lprent but as soon as I see Psycho Milt re-appear I think this isn't going to end well.
