Only in cloud cuckoo land does a cut from $163,000 to $77,000 in broadcast funding not "make much of a difference" Gosman. Please get a grip because your arguments are decidedly pathetic!
Well since we're being all simplistic and shit Gosman, weren't the Nazis into privatization of the public sector as well?
The contradiction is with National saying they won't limit immigration numbers while targeting Pacific people to do exactly that Gosman. The overall amount of immigration at the moment is not sustainable but specific ethnicities should not be targeted. In ...
I'm not so sure about that Colonial Viper. In a recent survey it was found that most farmers don't give a rats arse about water quality. Also, the Plan Change 6A (PDF) still allows pH, temperature changes and suspended solids at reasonably high levels. ...
Being that Banks has effectively been in contempt of court by providing false evidence, I think the Judge should make an example of him. Anything less than a moderate sentence will indicate that the judicial process is not independent of the government.
The right wing propagandists are certainly going to town with their 'Banks is an honourable man' rubbish! Apparently he might even appeal the decision, implying that he's somehow not really guilty until this happens. Of course that would be a complete ...
Have to agree with you blue leopard. In my opinion the post by Rob Salmond is just another continuation of a silly conflict that is using up too much oxygen. What we have is a bunch of Labour MP's going off half cocked about the Internet/Mana party getting...
Do you have a link to back up this assertion Kimbo? Norman Kirk dispatching a frigate to Mururoa to halt nuclear testing kind of shows he supported peaceful protest.
+1 @ Naturesong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with peaceful protest. In fact it is one of the best ways to effect change.
In this neck of the woods I'm finding it somewhat difficult to locate anybody who's going to vote for a continuation of John Key's government. Where are they? Perhaps National’s voters are just unwilling to say they support a regime that's undermining New ...
You have a point Lanthanide. However it will be devout National and Act supporters running the governments attack lines online. I very much doubt many people would be changing their voting preferences just because John Key and his cohorts are good liars ...
The Greens have some great policy’s on it anyway... Likely one of the reasons why they're showing consistent increases in support in recent polling. Clearly shows that National's 'the Greens are the end of the world' rubbish hasn't gained any traction at ...
She could still vote Labour if she wanted while being a Green MP :-)
Australia's cost-cutting new budget revealed Parents, pensioners, public servants, the unemployed, retirees, university students, and anyone who happens to get sick are all in for a tougher time as cuts to government spending bite, particularly in the ...
The government knows. They've decided not to release such information, for obvious reasons.

Have to agree with you there. The problem is that its the main measure being used to determine success and its accomplice, Gross Domestic Product, is directly related to our ability to service debt. There's some good research about debt as a percentage of ...
Hi David Cunliffe, I was wondering if your wife, Karen Price, might like to consider being a Green party MP? She certainly does appear to have the required qualifications :-) On a more serious note...how does Labour plan to service the huge debt National ...
+1 "The right wing are hostages to corporate vested interests."
It was amusing to see a National Party tweet the other day about something the so-called Economic Development Minster, Steven Joyce, said: Joyce: “Next week’s Australian budget will show what would have happened if we had followed the Labour-Greens ...
Yes! I've even heard a few National Minsters claim the Greens were in government with Labour, and therefore it's all their fault. The complete idiocy of John Key's failed government would be laughable if we weren't talking about $61 BILLION WORTH OF DEBT.
I thought the bit where Joyce said; "you better be careful" to Corin Dann was telling. Instead of actually producing some evidence to show Dann's statement was incorrect, Joyce simply threatened him. As a professional journalist that sort of alpha male ...
I'm in two minds about it. Having actually looked at some stats for burglary ie less than 20% are solved by Police, reporting such crime seems like a bit of a waste of time. I think it would be just as effective to have a talk with whoever the head gang-...
These house aren't empty because nobody wants to live in them, they're empty because the criteria to be eligible for a state house was made harder and there is widespread dysfunction from within Housing New Zealand. Even with the harsher criteria there are...
Yep! The same old and tired playbook.
Probably the same scientists who claim that algae blooms aren't mainly caused by petroleum-based fertilizers often used in conventional farming.
Boag was certainly given far too much airtime for Q+A to be considered unbiased. In fact I had to mute the TV because of all her shrill right wing commentary that just went on and on. Simon Wilson was particularly talked over and closed down by the ...
He also does the compulsory 'look over there' routine. What a buffoon! Hopefully the right wing will come up with some new material when they get caught out, because their current bag of tricks is rather boring!
Considering the bias often displayed by these types of polls, the information that's not being divulged is telling. It must be panic stations over on National's sinking ship. Depending on how many rats actually decide to jump, we might never see the Tories...
Influx of rightwing commentators congratulating Cameron Slater finally makes this blog relevant. /sarc
Pathetic Pete George...that's the best word to describe your scribblings! You say that I'm "wrong about a number of things," but don't bother to argue specifically about what these things might be? You also claim: Others smear frequently and never bother ...
