To Pat Scott @ 5 : I agree with you wholeheartedly. Indeed I only watch 'news' on Radio NZ or TV these days to assess the situation to which you refer. Sadly, the culture seems now to be the norm requiring the learning of critical thinking to feature ...
To Reality at 3 : No-one could have expressed Ashley Bloomfield's qualities and success better. Thank you. His sincere genuine nature was there for all to see, as was the occasional weariness in recent times. Consider too the disgusting flak that goes on ...
to Dennis at 2.1.3.1 : I find your comment strange. I have long had such a position as the phrase expresses. Raised in a home and culture closely connected with the forming of the first Labour government and it's values of social security and later having ...
to Ad at 2.1.1.1.1.......Paulo Friere was well ahead of his time. I valued his book immensely from publication and am now prompted to research his life thereafter.
Your last sentence Jenny should become universal daily mantra, so obvious,understandable and succinct. I continue my day smiling at it.
An activist of great strength indeed.
Shocked me that anyone would produce such vile.....must out into garden to immerse in beautiful sights and sounds.
Perceptive observation at 3.1.1 Robert G
to DOS at 10.1.4.1 : I applaud the frame-of-reference on which you make your decisions. How different society would be if more worked from same. At least you can live and rest in peace with yourself. Regarding advancement, I heard my father (pressed to ...
to Maui at 3.3 : I'm bit late with this reply, but ask you to think of the children who died or suffered lifelong debility from many of them. I grieve that this historical memory is not widely remembered or known.
That cats had been affected was published from somewhere in East many months ago, probably during our first lockdown. ....and it's not a reference I kept. I wondered then about the myriad of homes where cats are well-cuddled pets.
I recall vividly the relief at knowing my family was vaccinated against polio. I know my mother felt great relief when we were vaccinated against diphtheria and tested for TB. Therefore I am thankful my older great grandchildren are double-jabbed against ...

Your comment re "Freedom of Speech " one of very few to point out the ludicrous act of one of its proponents snatching in a protest banner in Dunedin.
Yes TM, it is great that the value of marine reserves is more widely acknowledged. I remember the opposition over the early one at Leigh but the rapid flourishing of species there was patently obvious. To other posters above, I saw scallop beds being raked...
We knew main world and NZ political events well before eleven years of age because they were talked about at home,at other people's homes and at school. As well Dad had us listen to parliament at times and in wartime to shortwave propaganda from Europe to ...
I was in conversation with the doctor concerned, believe me, and I did say it was decades ago, and so if things have changed for better that is great. ( and though I thought to have edited my mis-spelling of Mururoa I obviously didn't succeed).
Some decades ago in midst of our anti-nuclear testing days I was next patient for an oncologist in Grafton after he had dealt with what he described as a planeload of cancer sufferers of French Muturoa tests, held too long in Tahiti until a 'planeful'. I ...
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.
