So you think asking for truth in the news is de-platforming? What is so wrong with asking for facts from a story? If the plain truth hurts your narrative then maybe there is a problem with your narrative. Your talk of Jewish media elites is weird - in ...
ianmac I was not attempting to denigrate yo, I was simply saying I resent the fact that you called people who may disagree with you anti vaxxers. To be honest I started out looking at who was sponsoring this bill and assuming that they were doing it for ...
As someone who was impacted by the original bill I resent being called an anti vaxxer. I have a chronic neurological disease whose end point is locked in syndrome. It also manifests with depression which if untreated carries with it suicide thoughts. I ...
As someone who has ended up in a wheelchair at 58 I can tell you not only are cities not set up for mobility impaired they actively discourage participation by us. Doors are not big enough to fit a wheelchair through, in most disabled toilets it is not ...
Slow change wont do it, so while incremental change will not solve it maybe it would help! I wasn't saying get rid of technology I am saying that replacing cars with EV's whilst it may work where energy is renewable isn't the global solution. We need to ...
Surely the principal shouldn't be about replacing one tech with another. At the moment I agree with millennials, we the boomers, Gen Xers, Gen Y's are all about taking the stuff we do currently and dropping out one tech for another. When lithium batteries ...
"Modern society is not technologically dependent on fossil fuels. We're just continuing to use them because we're too lazy, timid, unimaginative, misinformed or whatever to make the change to zero-carbon alternatives" Unfortunately non fossil fuel ...
Facial recognition is so flawed that I will never get an iPhone with it as you risk being locked out of your own phone. Have you ever gone through the airport and failed the new passport control and needed intervention from staff? I have almost every time ...
"KRL does not look for or extract swamp kauri itself, but sometimes bought kauri logs from the contractor, the inquiry said. It did not charge for the use of the digger or pay the contractor for his time." " The manager of KRL confirmed to the investigator...
As the daughter of one of the said media the evidence of extra martial affairs was fairly blatant. If TV3 couldn't find evidence I would suggest that they were not looking hard. There were at least two female journalists which is why their fellow ...
Most parties will put the needs of party over their workers. The old white guys follow process and young women get bulldozed. Most parties have gone through similar - anyone remember DPF National Party after party or UK SWP splitting thanks to a really bad...
Think many people are reluctant to criticize refuge's as they are at least trying to help women fleeing from abusive partners. Managers in NZ and particularly in the NGO system are ex workers who are placed up the chain without support to understand or ...
Just a quick observation if Miss Thomas had been disclosed to and manager had not gone to police what was to stop Miss Thomas doing so? Part of the police work used to be around supporting the person disclosed to as they tend to need counselling. I am not ...
for which he was sentenced to 21 months for selling restricted guns - he should have been charged with being an accessory to murder!
There are several stories why he quit, most fairly unsavory - but I would suggest he left as he read the tea leaves of an election defeat and was able to negotiate a knighthood from his successor. Key's hiding is consistent with what he did in power, do ...
When I listened to the farmer rep on morning report this morning she appeared to be edging towards being paid by the Government not to sell land to the highest bidder. In a market economy cash is king and the farmers have spent the last 20 years telling us...
From your data: "The rate is now almost at the level seen prior to the beginning of the Rheumatic Fever Prevention Programme (2009/10-2011/12) when there were 177 cases, a rate of 4.0 per 100,000. By 31 December 2018, rheumatic fever incidence in Māori had...
Can I say something about Simon's speech 'You may have heard the incredible story of Tracey Elliott. Tracey is well known to some of you here today. Tracey was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in April 2014. The doctors told her she had 12 days to ...
There is not a house built that can "handle" shaking or erosion or sea rise. We are a community and need to behave like one. People can't walk away from their house with nothing to go to. As a society the answer can't be if something happens you're on your...
"It could include a section of the NZDF dedicating their engineering teams to responding to New Zealand events" that would be a good idea and a really good use of our defense force. I know America use their engineers in this way - to create the New Orleans...
Dedicated cycleways are OK but in Christchurch they all have curbs so people with mobility issues are effectively shut out of every area that has a cycle path. People with walkers have to use the precious energy walking out of their way to find a gap as do...

"Huawei is Stunning Technology" really? You obviously haven't read the critique that the coding and testing of Huawei was so sloppy you could drive a bus through their software and not even touch the sides. I do no want to do my banking/searching on a ...
You would have thought the Manchurian Candidate had never been written! The concept of no policies and repeating (retweeting) the same simple words and messages over and over has been round for over 100 years. Governments win when they don't bother with ...
think it more harks back to no taxation without representation, so as the rates in a district are levied from the homeowner they should have a say. If we had poll tax raised from people living in the house for local body tax then the people living in the ...
I can't live without books - started the ebook thing but hate having to be careful where the pudgy fingers go and I like the physical act of turning pages! NZHerald is a mish mash the thought of paying for the useless stuff they produce is ridiculous. As a...
Bulked up means that when invoice received it did not itemize travel! It was a totaled bill for a period. I have worked for several companies that required expense accounts and I was never allowed to do this, but too far down the food chain. I also had to ...
Why must insulting a person in their grief be protected? Particularly if the insult is about their religion. This is more than a dick move, it is like the people who protest at funerals of people who died of Aids - they may let them do that in America but ...
They are lucky to get pay rise - if they didn't negotiate in their contract for parity with union then they shouldn't get it at all! They did none of the work and put no money into getting the increase.
You left out Bully Maggie Barry, Mark's soulmate!
Before we dismiss the word hack we need to consider Kevin Mitnick he compromised a large number of computer systems using social engineering i.e. ringing up admins and persuading them to change passwords and for that he served five years in prison—four and...
