Does this tie in with the opposite angle of bidding wars by students who have to pay higher rents to get the place? i.e. bidding wars by workers to get the job and accept even lower pay. The latter was prophesied in The Precariat. Greed really doesn't ...
Please, RNZ, just get rid of the 'national' from the title. It's so wrong for country-wide radio. RNZ has been owned and controlled by national the party for so long and it has begun to become just another politic-speak for greed. It needs to be refreshed....
Xlnt news Something the nats ignored. I'm looking 4wd to seeing the nats filibustering on that.
I would request the new government to seek Jane Kelsey's advice on the progressive tpp, or whatever it is now called, if they want both sides of the issue. That is what 'listening to all New Zealanders' is about. 'All New Zealanders' includes business ...
So when Todd McClay said a day ago in Parliament that the US corporate clauses had been taken out of TPP he was essentially lying. They've just been frozen awaiting America's pleasure. Not the same thing.
Well said Wensleydale!

There were a lot of last minute votes on the North Shore (the ballot box in my local library was close to overflowing), which have yet to be counted, and only 71 votes between Gillon and Hills. That race may not be over yet.
Can someone please point me to the place where the mayoral candidates for Auckland talk about their promises on assets which they are the guardians of. Specifically - water, but also Port of Auckland and airport shares. Thank you very much in advance.
A guy wearing a "New Zealand" t-shirt beats a Syrian soldier senseless https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/warning-graphic-content-syrias-moderate-rebels-brutally-torture-syrian-soldier/
I met Ngapari several years ago, in fact hosted him and whanaunga at our house in Christchurch (in preparation for a hui on mahinga kai). He was unfailingly polite and courteous and was obviously a respected member of his community. White middle-class NZ ...
Who do you think you are dickysavage? Some guru of wisdom? That someone expresses another opinion and you bullet them. What a dick. Listen idiot, I clearly remember when Clarke came into power. The timing couldn't have been better. The world economic cycle...
I have given minor amounts to the Nats as quite frankly I think they are the party with the financial skills to manage our economy. The shadow finance minister with his university Union leader background scares me to death.
I think by memory that it was roger Douglas that changed the family benefit scheme. A labour finance minister.
SPOT ON SASHA!
JAMIE WHYTE IS A FOOL! SOME CALL HIM DOCTOR WHYTE.. BUT HE IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE DO HAVE POVERTY IN THIS NATION. HIS IGNORANCE!
IT IS VERY CLEAR JAMIE WHYTE DOES NOT LIVE DOWN MY STREETS, WHERE WORK HAS DISSAPPEARED, PEOPLE ARE IN RUN-DOWN STATE HOUSING, SURROUNDED BY OTHER MORE RUNDOWN EMPTY STATE HOUSING, TRYING TO BRING UP FAMILIES ON BENEFITS THAT ARE ABOUT AS MUCH AS A 40 HR ...
I find it weird that such a distaste of Israel is so entrenched in some people when this country is simply defending itself against such a suppressive culture where human rights are abused, hate is preached and deep down resent western culture. Israel is a...
Give them a go. State schools have a percentage of non performing deadbeat teachers. Can't get rid of them because of a strong union and so they rot the system and the kids they endeavour to teach. The Teachers Union is not about the children, more about ...
The West, blame the West. Simplistic. West or no west, these cultures have been butchering each other for centuries. Its Muslim turf and Muslims are indoctrinated to follow a violent path as per the ancient teachings. I would be accepting Christians. At ...
Singing under his breath through clenched teeth; "Macho macho man, I want to be a macho man......................"
Sums up Islam perfectly.
Nice offer from Islam. But what they do and what they think long term are two different things. Islam is not a religion of peace. it is a religion of domination, of suppression of women/gays, free speech, intolerant and the biggest threat to western values...
If the west was on its knees, would we see the hand of compassion from the Middle East? Or feel the cold of the sword??? Where was the hype recently when children were be-headed, where was the uprising when women are placed in a holes up to their shoulders...
The slump is down to piss poor reporting, what a B.S excuse for an interview was that with Paul Henry and Don Key, News Worthy? Not so news worthy!! cant stand the way they sit down in those stupid chairs especially the guy who leans back like its a talk ...
If I recall my maths correctly, 40% of 4000 is 1600. Now, the 2013 census states that there are 118,230 chinese persons living in the Auckland region. Even if all those properties were being sold to NZ based chinese, that is still only 1 house per 73 ...
Fantastic Comment, Stephanie - May I also add that what is needed after determining your core is Coherence ( that your messages, to all witnesses, are logical and follow on from your core), Consistency (that you are saying the same thing to all people, not...
The need for in-depth consultation, as opposed to peicemeal glossing over is crucial. The arrogance of Minister Grosser is consistent with the very standards the espoused when he won a third and final term.
Yes, the Auckland property market is mental but a CGT will hit everyone across the country. One of the arguments in favour of CGT is that most Western countries have one. Yes, but it hasn't dampened down their property prices has it? By all means clip the ...
I am god smacked that one could be so naïve. I mean they will laugh at you behind your back. Are you that removed from reality to assume that some of the countries mentioned do not spy on NZ and a host of other countries? Would you not believe that some of...
I remember this. As a regular cyclist I took note of this when it happened The part that MickeySavage his missed out (intentionally?) is that David Ware finished his newsletter stating that he had just purchased a bike and would let readers know how he ...
