The wording of the above petition was certainly not phrased by folk with English as a second language!
to Macro at 1..1 : Dreams are free ! but didn't greatly enjoy first and only attempt at hanggliding with family and their friend decades ago on St Kilda beach. Enjoyed your reply.
To gsays at 1 : I agree absolutely with your comments. I've watched the proliferation of retirement villages and homes for decades, and to my mind would be very hard for person to keep from being regimented at least eventually. I agree that ...
[Hopefully fixed. There was some stray text in your name field - MS]
Nanaia most certainly has courage Micky ! and not only over Seabed and Seashore. She has dealt with attitudes to capable women prevailing in her early years of activism, with sadness, with producing and raising children while an M.P., characteristically ...
to bwaghorn at 9 ; astoundingly unbelievable...a huge affront to women from a reactionary judge . I grieve. [Removed text from user name]
To Ric Stacey at 25 : i copied your name wrongly in my reply to greywarshark, ( busy day). To donate to Labour, email labour.org.nz and the donation sheet will appear. You only need your bankcard beside you. The procedure is easy. Yours in the cause.
to Rick at 25 and greywarshark at 25.1 : email labour.org.nz and have bankcard beside you!...the form appears to fill in . Yours in the cause and pleased to help.
Weka, there has always been solid 'green' thinking permeating Labour. I belonged to Labour/Green group operating before rise of Green Party...probably in '70's...have put newsletters in Hocken to prove. It's wonderful to see the real needs of the planet ...
I think the qualifier for Helen White, is too slanted. i.e. requiring a 'not wanting Greens in Parliament' attitude. This question to give clear result should be split, one as above, and one just 'Helen White because.......... ' I do write as member of ...
Yes i aree. I admire the resilience of the folk being rudely shouted at by those who obviously lack listening skills. I feel for the recipients who working long stressful hours must be weary enough without being subjected to such uncouth behaviour.
I first met Ruth when she was newly Party President......always striving and staunch in advancing her /our goals in an era when it was certainly not easy for women to do so....always observant of needs of others...a powerful supporter of the less fortunate...
Go well Stephen D!...I was once in charge of Whangaparaoa/Orewa end of what was then Rodney electorate,and acknowledge your situation.
To Drowsy M Kram at 9.2 : Your " we don't know how lucky we are" can't be repeated enough. First heard Jules Older who ran programme "American Pie" on a Dunedin radio station in the '70's playing the tune and singing over it " you don't know how lucky we ...
to tc@ 2 : absolutely ......has been needed for decades, but more so than ever as more and more rubbish or worse pervades our media.
to Jum at 10 : The 'NATIONAL' tag on RNZ happened under a National govt I think before an election as I believed it then to be at least subliminal advertising, but I felt much more obvious. I felt that to draw attention in complaint would only emphasise ...
to Ad at 3 : Seems to me the reality of the gap at 1939 would have been on account of beginning of WW2. From 1945 or shortly after, 3% loans for ex-servicemen which were designed to ensure employment.
to McFlock at 3: that Atlantic article makes me mourn once again about man's inhumanity to man....so blatant ......so callous. I admire that brave publication.
to Adrian at 5:1 : Sorry Adrian .... milk was 4d a pint albeit subsidised. I know because had four children from 1955 < , my husband and I drank milk because cheaper than tea ( coffee a rarity then). Therefore we consumed 10 pints a day for years, allowing...
to Treetop at 11.2.1 : I know my father as principal of a sole school was able to KEEP his job because he had a child.....me. Presumably the intention was to substitute an untrained teacher. As well, teachers' training colleges were shut for some time and ...
to Cinny at 2 : At least shows that most littlies and their teachers will be safe...guess keeping distance no problem with possibly one-to- one correspondence! Also would seem to indicate that most emergency workers have either organised otherwise or have ...
made my day Robert!
to PM ( can't read the number of your comment) Thank you...I understand what you mean.
I am astonished at much in this column today seeming to be deliberately ( but I hope ignorantly) stating that Labour is not committed to environmental issues. Decades ago I belonged to the Labour Green group in the Labour Party. When Folk broke to Alliance...
To A ar 20.1 : Frightening.......indeed I thought an earlier speech/comment of Morrison's sounded like a wound-up advertising machine/puppet. Who winds the key?
To Weka at 4.2 : Hear hear ! Hear hear!!!
To Anne at 4 : Re realisation of CC.......Been thinking since early morning the same thing Anne....the smoke pervading NZ or at least my home in Dunedin could not go unnoticed. I have experienced milder evidence of Australian fires when a child but nothing...
To Jenny at 15 : Bit belated, but kindness surely indicates perception of the recipient's need/s, and is the motivator of the fairly distributed social activity required of a government..
to Anne at 1.2.1.1 : I saw rife misogyny Anne some I suspect innate but some frighteningly to me propounded from stage in speeches i.e. actual verbal personal attacks. It was for political reasons of course but as for the really filthy stuff and packages, ...
to Anne at 1.1 : Indeed Helen had to put up with disgusting behaviour as did several women M.P.s of that time. I belonged to that strong organising group of LP women in Auckland in 1980's and 90's all of us well aware of that dirty cruel behaviour. Indeed ...
could residents be provided with bokashi buckets to deal with kitchen waste ( the rat- encouraging stuff) as guess most goes into waste water system via insink grinders presently. which I have always thought should be banned.
