It is my understanding that the existing terminals are unable to handle the freight growth, as well as reaching their use by date. Like the Coromandel road it's another demonstration of ignorance from this govt. There is a truism in project management. ...
I watched bishop on Q and A in astonishment. Never seen such pig headed stupidity from a pollie before. You'd of thought he'd have learnt when to stop digging by now.
One hopes that by the time parliament resumes, the three opposition parties have cooperated with each other to form a concerted plan of attack. Not only, for the govts actions but to also drive a wedge between the govt parties. If successful we may soon ...
You have to respect that guy. I'll be keen to see him make a go of it. Almost to the degree that I'll start watching again.
Ditto, from another old white fart.
I'm a bit unclear over hooootons agenda. I don't think he's a person who does stuff for no reason. However, if you set aside the media hysteria. Is anyone any worse off by not having a govt in the past month or so? Remember, the longer negotiations take, ...
I hear that spud head is not going to Apec. Lucky Apec. The absence of a grinning gargoyle would be a plus
Does any body believe that spud head is in control of the coalition talks. I can well see twerker and rodeo rider sorting out a deal and spud head saying, with hands clapsed in a prayer mode saying "please guys anything you want. Just sort it so I can get ...
I will never understand techies. They make something that runs like a Swiss watch, then can't resist the urge to have a fiddle. But I thankyou also.
I only have a cell phone to view this site. Last couple of days it has become unreadable, as I can't seem to bring up a cell phone screen. What do I need to do?
Good post Nigel, The international Green movement is based on 4 philosophical pillars. 1. Leave the world a better place for our decendents 2. Ensure the people of this world can live in dignity. 3. Practice true democracy to the lowest possible level 4. ...
I think it was when Winston first went into coalition with bolger it took 12 weeks to complete. I can attest that, media hysteria aside, the country cruised along perfectly well without the pollies input.
I'm with you Bella. I've been fortunate enough to never have been affected. But I've seen so many of my workmates and tradie colleagues go to the wall that I'm surprised more violence hasn't occurred. Something has to change or we peasantry won't survive
So cluxon won't be attending the Pacific forum. Can I suggest that even if the govt formation wasn't in the way. He would find an excuse to not korero with our brown brothers. It just ain't his style.
I cannot believe the utmost stupidity and arrogance of mercenary Mitchell. He believes that removing patches and tattoos will hamstring gangs. Does he not realise that the tat and patch guys are the foot soldiers, there to be sacrificed for the common good...
Dammit MS you've nailed it yet again. I'm an old tradie and words aren't my thing. Have to admit that for the first time in my 77 years I didn't vote. Lost my way, although I have a lot of sympathy with greens and TPM regarding working class issues.
Yep, I reckon F..N..Act it'll be. Buying popcorn.
The aussie vote is so tragic, but, totally unsurprising, given my knowledge of our western isle. What has dawned on me today, is how politically challenged we TS readers are. Not too much comment given politics is off the agenda. I'm getting bored.
An additional bonus of a left win this election, is that Hosking might have a final tanty and shift camp to aus as he has frequently threatened to do. I imagine they are financially independent, so being unemployable won't be an issue
Anywhere will do, as long as it's outta here
Mickey, I've followed you for some time, and I value your thoughts. You talk good shit, keep on keeping on.
Just turned off the "leaders!!" debate, an absolute gabblefest. Only certainty is that Gower is a bumbling idiot. Reinforces the decision not to vote.
It would be nice if we could ignore the gurus expounding theories as to will pepsi or coke win the election for a wee while. Roger Whitaker has died, a sad sad day. One of the most talented and likeable muso's of our time
Bloody hell, and 27 other profanities. Kim Hills retirement will leave an astounding vacuum in our media, of all disciplines. Her intellect, wit, and subject knowledge when interviewing someone is something the shock jocks, if they weren't so thick, should...
Had an interesting experience today. In my mid 70s I'm a bit behind today's jargon. Had an appointment in a town an hours drive away at a business adjacent to a park. I was early so I thought I'll give my wee dog a walk, in the park was a building that was...
Hi Anne, I value your experiences and a book would of infinite value. Have you thought to contact Nicky Hagar
Yes M the L, it's a pity that the commerce commissions incompetence borders on corruption.
I would donate serious money to the CTU to contribute to a similar ad portraying Seymour. A further concern is, what assests are they going to package up for sale. Kiwibank is ripe for the picking, as is Pharmac and the medical system in general. The brown...
Three cheers for the CTU. I'd donate serious money if they did same for Seymour. One wonders what that lot are planning to wrap up into a nice little package of govt departments that they can sell off. Pharmac and the hospitals springs to mind. We've seen ...
Forget the gun license. Are they a 'fit and proper person' to be an MP ??
Don't worry about it man. Shit happens. Your tech explain went way over my head. I'm just happy that you do what you do. Lefty comment is a rare event these days.So I truly appreciate your efforts. Travel well.
