"a number plate would be useful, or a direction of travel." Often they wont be in their own vehicle, and as for direction of travel "they went that way,", yeah I can see the police writing down "we are looking for someone heading in the direction of ...
You are "preaching to the converted". I agree that they need to face the law. Everyone in NZ is entitled to some sort of benefit / help. I was simply answering Weka's comment that they are simply hungry. Usually these people are not satisfied with the help...
Would be interesting to see the items loaded in to the trolley as often that is not the case due to what they steal. As the Countdown manager advised me when I witnessed a robbery, they usually steal the small expensive items from the pharmacy aisle or ...
Law needs to change if security guards aren't allowed to touch these people as police can't be expected to always get there in time. Good on the lady for filming and speaking out about the thieves sense of entitlement. 'It's not right': Households paying ...
Even James Shaw is not happy with this decision. "James Shaw, speaking as the Green Party co-leader rather than as the Government's Climate Change Minister, said ministers need to stop subsidising fossil fuels during a climate crisis." I'm happy to be ...
He certainly got stuff done in the Ngāti Whātua boardroom! Unfortunately after the affair was exposed he pretty much became a lame duck mayor.
Yes he should but he wont as sounds like he was more of a friend. The advise given was terrible.
Luxon is hardly her mate. She is red through and through. Do you not remember the Covid question times "Jessica, then Tova". And do you realise who her husband is. Here's a clue...."Jessica Mutch is a TVNZ political editor who married Jacinda Ardern's hot ...
I found this interesting (not really politics) but I really cannot see why the ANZ should be responsible for this 'prominent kiwi entertainer's loss of $100k. Yes I know banks make excess profits, but they shouldn't have to pay for other people's decisions...
The shortage of eggs and the many Countdown supermarkets with empty egg shelves I can live with, but if they run out of beer that's serious!
This is not a good start to the year. I think media Works were also laying off staff. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2023/01/fears-grow-the-warehouse-group-may-axe-190-jobs.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eXFzqWiCSI I find that hard to believe
Not from the mid point. 34% are below but within the first deviation, and 16% are lower. https://www.iqmindware.com/blog/the-bell-curve-cognitive-elites/
You know it is!
Unfortunately, many people simply vote on looks or personality. Remember, half the voting population is below average intelligence and often have no ideas of what policies they are voting for.
I actually heard our prime minister on Newstalk ZB this morning on the Mike Hosking show (although Hosking is still away). Now that hasn't happened for a while. He communicates and comes across well, and can answer the questions. Perhaps if he decides to ...
Perhaps we will all be surprised, and Kelvin Davis as deputy will take the leadership?
The sun will still come up tomorrow.
Nothing to do with race. Just like Efeso Collins losing Auckland. Race had very little to do with it. People of Auckland wanted change. Efeso would have been a worse version of Phil Goff.
Well said.
Yeah and see the Labour party go to new lows. 15% - 22% maybe.
Well said. I don't agree with many of her policies, but good on her for getting out while she is still on top. A huge weight lifted off her shoulders. I too think Hipkins would be a good leader.
Hipkins?
... get the tick from judge Jimmy as we all know the...
I definitely think educating school children about money / difference between debit and credit cards and best ways to use them/ budgeting / mortgages / Kiwi saver etc. should be compulsory at school. That way when they go out in to the world they at least ...
Smart man did well for himself. Sad that he did not get to enjoy the fruits of his labor. I can admire a person like that who sets goals and plans to achieve them and takes the initial risk.
The current deterrents are obviously not working. And from the article: "although he was attending counselling, Judge Krebs described his cavalier attitude of having a beer before his sessions as “counterproductive”." I would hate to be driving (or riding ...
Judges need to actually impose a sentence that keeps people like this who constantly re-offend off the street to keep the public safe. Three months community detention......what a joke. He's probably already driving again! Lets hope they actually get ...
Was originally a 25 year mortgage so is now less than 1/2 original amount
Well done.
I consider myself centre right.
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
