"6. This Law Has Nothing To Do With TCH’s Medicinal Benefits" No, I wouldn't have thought so. I'm yet to hear about any of TCH's purported benefits, medicinal or otherwise.
"It will be interesting to see what form the Topham Guerin Facebook ads take in the next 7 weeks." 'Vote for Judith - she's the one! (even if her own party thinks she's a ....)'
Interesting. And how about Tibet and East Turkestan?
When it comes to John Key and money, he has always chosen to side with this guy and his fellow dictators: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-10/16/c_138476844.htm I have never once heard Sir John or any National MP express support for the people of Hong...
Hiring understandable lecturers would cost more money meaning the universities would have less to pay the Vice-Chancellor's KPI bonus. Therefore, not going to happen.
I won't be shedding any tears for Auckland University. They seem to have plenty of money to spare when they choose to: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/119122778/auckland-university-buys-5m-parnell-mansion-for-incoming-vicechancellor
"All aboard the Oravida Express! Next stop Beijing."
Surely you meant Shafted?
Shipping alumina from Queensland and Northern Territory to be processed in Southland was never carbon neutral I'm afraid.
"The only real issue with the smelter leaving is how to soften the economic blow to Invercargill, Bluff and Southland as their economy restructures." Sometimes these things have a way of working themselves out: https://www.stuff.co.nz/southland-times/...
And that medical practice or hospital would be sued for hefty damages.
"She (Boag) told BusinessDesk she wouldn't be resigning any other roles." That's what Shipley said after she lost the Mainzeal insolvency case. Reality caught up with her very quickly after that as I recall.
We should be so lucky...
Let's face it, Goldsmith is a pompous knob who deserves to have the piss taken out of him constantly. I've met fence posts with more vibrant personalities.
"We can do this in no small part because a decade ago Minister Stephen Joyce rolled out the ultrafast broadband programme." And here I was thinking Joyce was just an arrogant blowhard who wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on his clusterfuck ...
If only. Parliament by its very nature is full of tossers, but somehow Nick Smith always manages to win the ribbon for champion dickhead.
The same Simon O'Connor who was formerly a Catholic priest and whose beliefs about abortion and same-sex marriage would make a happy-clapper like Luxon seem positively new age? Yeah, he'd go down a real treat.
"Ricardo Menendez March is an anti-poverty activist, who has been working with Auckland Action Against Poverty on liveable incomes, housing, WINZ culture, and access to healthcare. He is standing as Green Party candidate in the Maungakiekie electorate." Oh...
Mowbray looks like just the sort of opportunistic grifter that National will be looking for to replace Donkey now that Luxon's been outed as a religious nutter. How well does he know Michelle Boag?
Oh they're "on it" now alright. It's a real shame they weren't when it would have counted for something: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/11/coronavirus-wuhan-doctor-ai-fen-speaks-out-against-authorities #Chernobyl moment
Maybe we could chip in and buy Bridges a copy of this: https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/books/116616919/book-review-rottenomics-lifts-the-lid-on-leaky-buildings I'd lend him my copy if I thought I'd get it back. In my opinion it's the bible of "rule ...
Tell him it's the same thing that's going on with the Adani coal mine in Queensland - naked greed with fuck all thought for any environmental implications past making supernormal profits for the owners.
Yeah, because if a citizen from a country notorious for intellectual property theft steals one of New Zealand's most valuable agricultural products, endangering billions of dollars worth of exports, it's immaterial where the offender comes from. The ...
And JLR and SD might still be happily making the beast with two backs without the knowledge of their significant others...
Sure. By introducing the same tax rates in NZ that our neighbours pay. I lived there for a while and they still have plenty of rich people: Australian income tax rates for 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 (residents) Income thresholds and tax rate payable on income...
Conversely, there are plenty of New Zealand arseholes who think this sort of thing constitutes "strong leadership".
Ooh burn!
There was no data-matching between Internal Affairs and WINZ at that time. The Mossad spies got pinged because they rang up to see where their passports were and the person taking their call was suspicious of their Israeli accents. They were caught purely ...
What happened to Nigel Haworth was very unjust, especially considering his National Party opposite Peter Goodfellow is a nasty scumbag with a domestic violence conviction to his name: http://www.kiwisfirst.com/goodfella-judges/
"Unless of course people trafficking, worker exploitation, all the muck, corruption and filth that goes with it, and judging the benefits of immigration purely from an economic perspective is OK Jack." Actually, it seems all that stuff's just fine: https...
This is the perfect opportunity for the government to bring in state funding of political parties. They can also ban foreign donations and donations associated with foreign entities while they're at it (just like Australia and the US have done). National's...
