I certainly think of Des Gorman every time.
Is there any reason why the Speaker can't ask for a vote from the floor - the Ayes and Nos would be then available for us all to see and, just perhaps it would put an end to the matter. There is probably some rule or standing order which would prohibit ...
Thanks for that Incognito - I was starting to think that Phillip has been indulging in one two many orifice plucks
Thank you Anne, my sentiments exactly. Of course I would like the needed changes to happen yesterday, but if the Government doesn't take the people with them, we'll have a National lead Government in 2023 if not before. We are probably of a similar age - I...
I have been watching the vote count - intermittently over the past 24 hours and sticking mostly to CNN and Al Jazeera. I strayed onto Fox a while ago and witnessed the mad ranting and raving of a demented Newt Gingrich who was of course blaming the ...
Oh, the irony if it has been hacked by the Ruskies
Thanks for that Prickles - it had occurred to me after posting that he could well be a Murdoch man. Sensitive wee sausage.
... Greg Sheridan certainly has a bee in his bonnet - is he...
True dat, Anker. I'm pretty sure Jacinda will have the nous and the advice to give Judith Collins enough rope to hang herself (metaphorically speaking, of course).
I do too RedBaronCV, but what an image to recall when someone or media says that a politician has swallowed a dead rat.
@ Stuart Munro - maybe, but have a look at some of the candidates, both electorate and list, they're impressive.
I purchased a Y9 Prime 2019 late last year, which has downloaded the Covid Tracer app OK - it's Android version 10. My partner has a Vodafone (ZTE) Ultra Smart 6 , which despite it's name it's not smart enough to pick up the app.
It was similar over on Newshub - surprise, surprise and Tova was pretty muted with her report as well.
I will be voting yes for exactly the same reasoning as you RosieLee. I also won't be smoking it, as I gave up smoking nearly 30 years ago and have no intention of kick starting that habit again. The nearest I have come to the real thing for pain relief is ...
Thank you Clive Macann - I always react quite badly when I hear that old chestnut. My partner is a retired Woodwork/Technology teacher, who has his City and Guilds (Advanced Trade Cert - NZ equivalent) qualifications earned whilst doing his apprenticeship ...
Wow, Chris my original thoughts were that I was pretty sure in my own mind that one Cam Slater has been at work again. It also seem fairly obvious that the AM Show's interview with Judith Collins by Duncan Garner was the equivalent of a 'patsy' at QT in ...
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the same news organisation doorsteps the Lees-Galloway family home as well. The 'journalist' involved is really the pits and I'm about to contact the news organisation involved to let them know that after watching their ...
'Dirty Politics began with Muldoon in the 1970s and it has been rearing its ugly head on and off ever since. Along the way many innocent people were deeply hurt by it and most of their stories never made it into the public arena.' I well recall that era ...
I so agree with your comments Just Is - we had a fav cousin of mine and his wife call in on their way to a family gathering in Rotorua and of course, the conversation turned to their MP for Papakura, non other than the newly minted Leader of the Opposition...
Yep, I bet our Toddie was busy at Reconciliation/Confession explaining to his Parish Priest about his porkies and asking for forgiveness before attending Mass today. I wonder how many Hail Marys and Our Fathers and whatever else he has to chant ad ...
Absolutely ianmac, Simon's columns are always a 'must read', as apposed to Audrey Young who got her school ma'am's hat on this morning with her rating of some MPs under Covid 19. Michael Woodlousehouse got an A+++++, what for, I don't really know as yet, ...
I also used to get annoyed at Richard Prebble's use of 'nucular' - the word was used far more often when he was a Labour MP and supposedly well educated.
Yeah, but I don't really fancy having to have a shower before going to bed this evening!
I really prefer to have an agnostic such as Helen Clark, John Key or Jacinda Ardern (a fairly recent convert) as leader of a political party - and I say that as a (bit of a struggling) Christian - the overt fundamental beliefs no longer resonate with the ...
