Yes I did answer later down the tread. However this ignores the fact that it would of still cost millions to cancel the contract, then reengage another firm. So it was inevitable it was going to cost money. Thats why the tender process in any business ...
"You weren’t attacked you moron. I suggest you might want to take up some remedial reading lessons." - Well I was now. if accepting a tender from a company undercutting as they were failing to make profits and losing contracts in Australia is not botched, ...
WoW, They were right saying you'd get attacked on the standard for having a different opinion! Was just pointing it out... As a background...at the time Trevor Millard was signing the agreement with Novo Pay Talent2 were going through financial problems, ...
Wasn't it Trevor Millard who signed the deal with Talent2 for Novo Pay? Surely some of the blame also goes there.
Wait a minute... "The surname of his driver who went to work for Dotcom last year and, Peters says, told Key about it" Watch the video: http://inthehouse.co.nz/node/15538 Key never said the "VIP Transport Service". He said "VIPs in Auckland". I thought he ...
The difference here is that in July 2011, Simon Power knew that the FBI was interested in Dotcom. Recall: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10816772 That is probably the reason why he chose to inform the PM's Office of his ...
According to iPredict, it's not looking good for the PM! https://www.ipredict.co.nz/app.php?do=watch&next=detail&watch=DOTCOM.NAME.KEY&id=4167
Key can't handle the pressure. It's starting to take a toll on him, mentally and physically. That's why he is out of the country so often. It's only going to get worse from here. I can't see him leading National into the next election. That isn't to say he...

Wow, good on you Uturn, read me like an open book, must know my whole life story by the sounds of it. Great way to engage with new posters.
I know a lot of people on here were supportive of maori claiming their water rights, but was it just the beginning? When does it go too far? http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO1209/S00042/wind-to-be-subject-of-next-treaty-claim.htm
Money Laundering is a 3 stage process which includes placement, layering and integration. As has been pointed out in other comments, casinos make it fairly easy to place money into the financial system. In the US, Casinos are considered financial ...
Ahh yes, but from the producer side there are numerous options, Mighty River Power is the main Hydro and wind power producers, they focus primary on renewable energy. Solid Energy is in direct competition, they have more of a focus on Coal. Then there is ...
Sorry Mate, but I never suggested that they do have blind trusts or investment managers, to invest you don't need to have a trust investment manager or blind trust, anyone can buy in. In no part have I blamed anyone, just more suggesting that you're views ...
It really depends and it's what you make of it, I will be investing in these shares as I think it will be a good long term investment. I will also say again, you have the power, people power, if enough people care enough to invest there own money you could...
I think the term was more alluding to actually coming up with solutions rather than pointing out problems. No point saying hey the government is crap at tiddlywinks without saying what you will do to improve it. The only solution the opposition was ...
If enough people strongly agree with you, why don't you group and all put in a few bucks to buy shares, that way you can then give them to the next generation. Or are you expecting someone else to fork-out for you? The fact is they will still be able to ...
The biggest problem here is it does not in anyway fulfill financial literacy, it just encourages the current ill-literacy we have today. To encourage we need to make sure people need to save money and invest, not about getting a hand-out which they didn't ...
They can't buy the shares as it would be a conflict of interest.
Why not?? As long as you are willing to put in your money you will be able to buy at the market rate, which as described above, you could buy in for less than a concert ticket, less than $50.00 even.
Yes, thanks Phil for securing another 3 years of professional well run government. National couldn't have done it without you. Oh by the way, next time if you are trying to win an election, try actually producing policies instead of just attacking the ...
When will Banks' skeleton in the closet be revealed?
Yeah, I reckon Labour will claw back a few percent from them, provided Goff performs well in the televised debates.
It would be interesting to know where the minor parties sit in this poll.
I think if Peters can maintain his core support, then he might be able to garner enough votes from ACT to make 5%.
Yeah, I agree. But 8% would be their highest ever, and a swing to them of about 2%. The Greens always peak early and I think it is likely Labour will regain some lost ground as the election draws nearer.
I can't see the Greens getting more than 8%, and I can't see Labour getting over the mid-30s. I think the only way we will end up with a Goff-led Govt is if NZ First gets over 5%. Even then, it's unlikely the Greens would want to work with Winston.
"Government debt is now $28.5 billion and growing, thanks solely to Bill English’s continued over-spending." I thought The Standard was of the view that public debt is not an issue; that National has 'manufcatured' a crisis to justify its asset sales and ...
Every single one of these, with the exception of the Canterbury Earthquake, was the policy of the Green Party beforehand. Plus I would challange any political party to put up as much policyas the Greens have on their website: there's literally hundreds of ...
Yeah, and I understand they also have a Chinese candidate in Maungakiekie and an Indian candidate standing in Mt Roskill. Interesting.
Peters should stand in either Te Atatu or Manurewa. Both may be traditional Labour strongholds but with the incumbents bowing out I think they will be vulnerable. It's hard to predict the outcome of a three way race in Te Atatu but let's not forget ...
