So the 85 dead aren't the "true" victims, but "Muslims" are? Have you seen video from the scene? They sure look like victims to me. It's amazing really. If Muslim civilians are killed by the west, it's the fault of the West. If western civilians are killed...
Black Power are a criminal gang. They have a culture and history of violence, abuse of women and children, drug dealing, murder, and the veneration of criminal activity. Speak to the children and partners of black power members if you don't believe me. ...
There are so many in jobs that don't require back-fill it won't be a problem.
With all due respect the Police Association is the police union, not the police. If the police have to man security the association will have no say over it whatsoever. And frankly all the cops I know would love to go do it.
This whole argument is ridiculous. If property is where the wealth of a nation is, and you can't buy in Auckland, then buy elsewhere, thereby making you wealthy. The issue is in fact more shore than that - supply and demand. There is a limited amount of ...
That is some top-quality sarcasm right there. (No I'm not being sarcastic)
There's as much to say it's motivated by religious beliefs or mental illness, as it is by homophobia. Are we going to hate on Andrew Little though for NOT saying that religious killings and violent extremism must be challenged and defeated? Or for not ...
Any of you anti-vaxxers prepared to head to the Congo without your vaccine for yellow fever, typhoid fever or meningitis? Anyone caught polio lately? Or smallpox? Could that have anything to do with vaccination do you think? If it truly were an individual ...
Excellent and very well-written article. Nz will eventually follow the example of the US if the model works there, which it sounds like it is. If England jumps on board too, then it will certainly just be a matter of time. I was 100% in favour of ...
Whether he's right about why she wasn't charged I don't know, but police certainly had a policy of warning Maori traffic offenders (in South Auckland), and also of giving pre-charge warnings to Maori for fairly minor offending regardless of their criminal ...
Some kids, particularly boys, require a firm hand. Most men reading this should agree that when young they got a clip around the ear, and that this made them wake their ideas up. While the statute still allows physical force most parents don't realise this...
Her actions were not legal. We all have a right to peaceful protest. This was not peaceful, it was assault. With a weapon.
Is it actually "civil disobedience" to assault somebody? In her opinion the TPP will cause harm, so therefore it's okay for her to assault and humiliate a Minister of the Crown? Can someone explain how and why it's okay to do such a thing. If it's okay to ...
"Her earlier article suggests that the best way to address poverty was to actually give the poor money." Haven't the government recently increased welfare benefits for the first time since 1977? So that's got to be good right?
No, rape is the penetration of a person's genitalia by another person's penis, without consent. The other acts you describe are sexual violation, not rape. So in NZ law, while we might use the term "prison rape", in fact it's impossible for a man to "rape"...
The photo of John Key eating the hotdog, clearly intended to look like he is sucking a dick is highly offensive and unbecoming of a left-wing blog that would ordinarily denounce insults such as faggot or homo as homophobic. This type of humour (or insult ...
First of all Cypfs need to identify a set of goals, decide what good performance looks like, then instill that vision into their staff. I just bet that they won't be using what resources that have efficiently, and being a government department the workers ...
I totally agree. Cypfs staff are snowed-under, and have very limited resources. It's very similar to mental health actually, neither department have the time or resources to do anything properly, especially in metropolitan areas. Setting aside humanitarian...
The point made about deaths from accident, disease etc being far greater than from murder, terrorism etc is made often. While that view might be logical, it fails to take into account the visceral and instinctive fear and abhorrence humans have of a loved-...
Fascinating. It seems to me that the common denominator between far right and far left is. . . hatred. Politics sure is a dirty game. Was this Ben chap feeding a habit though or what? Either way he sure did a number on Cameron Slater and made him look very...
So National sets aside 15% of our economic zone, meaning no fishing or mining etc forever and ever, and most of you complain. If national did "steal" a labour policy, and if you truly believe in that policy, you should be happy right? Especially since the ...
You're all deliberately missing the point. If a former National MP committed a sex offence, did his political views lead to or make him more likely to offend? Of course not. My experience of criminals (which is considerable) has taught me that crime cannot...
[deleted link] Is my point made yet? [Nope. You're in a discussion about a kiwi author on a kiwi political website. You also referred to NZers Philip Taito Field and Alex Swny. If you don't have any evidence that is specific to NZ, best you withdraw the ...
[deleted link ] [lprent: Astroturfing irrelevant UK documents? WTF. Are you a complete fuckwit? Or just have some severe brain damage. Banned 1 month for being a stupid troll. Read the damn policy before you pull your brain out of your pants and start ...
... at whatever party YOU support. [Jay, that's an appalling accusation. Either...
I read the link to that interview of her. She's just a dum privileged kid who's never really suffered in her life, and maybe hasn't experienced grief. She'll probably now be regretting her heartless comments. If not that only further demonstrates her ...
On the one hand we hate the dairy industry, yet on the other hand we want cheaper milk. In fact, milk should be free in school. Furthermore, lack of milk is causing rickets, or is that lack of sunlight? All helped along by excess fizzy drink that poor ...
The Greens must consider working with National and make that clear over the next two years. And that's about the only way I can see them them winning any votes off of National. If they won't they risk another three years, and possibly the foreseeable ...
"I’m assuming that if it’s being hosted overseas it’s not a breach, is that not right?" That's what the man is relying on; that the site is an off-shore based blog. The co-writer is also domiciled in NSW and has a law degree. So they've been blatantly ...
"long-winded and rambling style that fails to prove or even convincingly present anything at all." You'd be surprised the amounts of people who do believe the blog, esp the damning defamation he posts about his targets. One doctor had to go to court and ...
Some hilarious comments here very entertaining, especially from Mickey Savage. Has anything not gone wrong for national? First Sabin going, then the PM boldly proclaiming Winston had "zero" chance, then Osborne getting the nomination in the first place, ...
