Leave Simon in place to fight an election that will almost certainly now be lost, accept his inevitable resignation and install Luxon. It isn't hat hard really. The real question is the country ready to go back to what National has to offer even in three ...
That's a well written and thought out post. However I think Bennet would be a disaster for the Nats. Put up against Ardern she would accentuate Ardern's abilities even more.
I enjoy Hoskings columns. Braunius is a good satirist but Hosking is the best.
For those of us who are old enough to remember Dawn Raids Mark Mitchell is the grandson of Frank Gill. (commonly known as Rank Pill in those days !) National don't spend much time advertising that part of his history
But give him a day off his life sentence for saving taxpayers from lawyers fees
That's because he makes his money by no having to pay capital gains tax. No representation without taxation! [Fixed typo in e-mail address]
Now that is funny! Someone who believes that we are living in a democracy. Under FPP we were controlled by a minority, and it got worse when we accepted the sick pup, MMP. We are ruled by the parasites who fund our political parties, and unable to sack a ...
I am surprised that you find the gun at fault, rather than what was happening in the blokes head. Never mind, it seems you have lot of company. Being right is not a majority position, unlike getting your own way under our current system with a programmed ...
It was posted under "remember March 15" as very much on topic and relevant as the author commented on the first firearms laws rushed through parliament with only lip-service paid to due process, and bemoaning the holdup to the second phase of persecution. ...
What [Deleted] did achieve was his stated goal of persecuting NZ firearms owners. One of his declared aims was to initiate the removal of firearms from the civilian population, and he knew that this mass murder would be used by our [Deleted; baseless ...
Tax Ghost Houses 1% on the basis of what the owner thinks their house is worth. But on condition the Council has the right to procure the house at the stated value: https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/homed/real-estate/119593887/heres-how-the-government-...
We have a different understanding of inane drivel, but I have obviously upset you by venturing a considered opinion. In the future I will merely present documented fact.
There is a good chance that this was a false flag event, staged to achieve the dual aims of introducing draconian firearms legislation and suppressing free speech. In any case it is achieving the desired goals. Firearms have been confiscated from the law ...
The arms act 1983 is claimed by police and their Govt. servants to be past it's use by date, and unfit for purpose. This is true but not for the reasons expressed. The 1983 act had public safety as its main tenet, and so licenced owners of firearms as fit ...
Comments like your's go a long way to explaining why rural New Zealand will sadly be solidly National come September .
Micky is right the issue has been shamefully hijacked by Seymour and Bridges. Seymour quickly did the math and saw the advantage of having a percentage of the 200,000+ licensed firearms owners voting for ACT. It may well if it goes to plan unseat the ...
That Stuff article seems a bit skewed to me. A car sitting in rush hour traffic using 6 litres per 100k ? Seriously ? A scooter might do it.
I heard her going on about Plastic bags so she is the one I blame for the stupid ban etc I walk with sticks, two of them, so a plastic bag was very handy for carrying things..... never mind so people simply do not care until they have problems :-) paper ...
My problem with the current sytem is What do I do with the 'nice' paper bags that Countdown delivery my groceries in? three or four a weekly delivery. Most after I take out the goods are like new and I carefully fold them and store in a paper bag ... I ...
I prefer the 'old' line system to the difficultly I have is tuning into any station on FM. AM is good enough for me :-) Cell phone Costs..... while land line is cheaper and works better, IMO anyway :-)
The thought of a huge govt backed media spewing fort the pet ideas of a govt horrifies me. Left or right they are equally as bad as each other. RNZ is bad enough as it is now with its bias.... I do not have or watch TV rubbish but know it is more ...
None that people would recognise and I was just expressing my opinion based on what I have read in connection with this event mainly from this thread and radio rerports. as I read further down this page you seem to have a lot of experience which I respect ...
She is obviously just jumping on the current fad of CC as seemingly the author of this thread.
Climate change may or may not be having some effect but the carelessness of Aussi politicians in stopping the clearing of undergrowth and tree droppings is a major cause towards the severity of Aussie's problem.... their own fault and likely we will have ...
Iran has been thumping its whats-it at America with the US playing it cool so it is about time they showed Iran what to expect it they continue. The problem will come from all the small groups looking to have the 'west' on.
Thank you for those figures Joe90. I get rather tired of all these silly comments about Trump... grow up folk, it doesn't help with the discussion and is foolish and un productive name calling. What children do before they grow up, if they do.
"I still can't figure out why New Zealanders are on the whole so contented." Maybe they are resigned to the fact that they cannot win and get on within the limitations they face instead of ranting about evil capitalism and strident lefties as we read here ...
"most rapacious business minded folk, those with with psychopathic tendencies." simce I have never met one of these folk I think it is silly leftish mythology
Self interest needs to be both for self and one's community to work properly. Idealistic yes but that is where I am having had success and hold backs in my carear. But my question is "how do we educate all to hold those views?" Is it possible?
I believe that most people want success in the form of promotion which in turn leads to more money whatever political creed they espouse. which is capitalism. I see contentment and happiness coming from being satisfied with what you have. So I want a ...
But until it happens the idea will be ignored and when it does it will be too late.
