"there's enough little guys to tell the bullies to sod off." We have so many people in NZ being bullied - and no one does anything about it. In fact how many people are bullied by the bully then the rest of the people round pile in? We do not have a past ...
Actually many of their utterances mean the gap between the Nazi Party and Destiny Church is small. The claim that Muslims need to abandon their religion as they are coming to a "Christian country" is not a million miles away from telling Jews to abandon ...
Many occupations I know have had 0% for up to 15 years. Dusties who were well paid in 70's now get less than what they used to be paid working longer hours. I know there are lots of good teachers who work really hard who have to work in the Ministry to ...
Heard one news story that it was a staffer from Chris Bishop's office then that fell off the radar. Who ever it was managed to conflate a something from nothing. There were no numbers, not much that we hadn't heard just a 'gotcha' thing. If this is ...
"It ignores taxpayers and provides extra support to those who do nothing. " Having been a high paying tax payer, a job seeker, and a person with a chronic disease I know which I prefer to be. Which is why I always made sure that I paid my full complement ...
sounds very like the accessing of Labour Party records by National people. If I had to put money on it I would say this has been a Treasury practice for 10 years or so and someone in opposition staff previously worked at Treassury.
Think someone should ask - if National has been given access to budget 3 days early can they confirm that they have not given it to their buddies. One of the reason for all the security is the possibility that people can use that information on the share ...
Just a few words for you "TeapotTape investigation", the NZ Police are totally involved in politics but they will probably not want to investigate National Party.
Statistics do whatever you want, you can slice and dice for any outcome. The thing he was talking about was crimes before the courts, as there is a one to two year lag in police over before the courts in 2019 you have crimes committed 2017 - 2019. The ...
sigh doesn't matter what he defies. He is a man who has a billion dollars - one does not get to have that much money by being the nice guy. He could have given money to many causes to improve the lives of lots of people. Instead he gives money to upper ...
Really - every workplace I have been in there has been at least one creepy guy. The complaint did complain and nothing happened - why would she go to the police when her employer wouldn't do anything. There was also a serial groper there who apologized and...
Why do I care what colour he is? I am seething about the fact that he has returned a small percentage of the money he has removed from his community. Wealth does not happen without poverty.
The man is an investment banker so the probability is that some of the people whose loans he paid off have parents or relations made redundant, lost houses or died because of his investment decisions. But he gets to feel good off the misery of others.
The answer may be more free speech but there is a consequence to speech. Please stop talking about free speech as if it is the end of the process. Yes you can be a Nazi but if you start calling for people to be killed then you should be arrested and ...
I agree Sacha have seen Government policy completely destroyed by policy people within departments working against Ministers. Tend to happen under Labour governments, but to be fair the 1984 government started the rot by deconstructing the public service. ...
Really? These are known side effects for many of the "legal" drugs that come to market, as well as suicidal thoughts. Many psychotropic drugs are given to children that change their brain chemistry forever to deal with ADHD, depression, acne and other ...
The thing that I read into the story was that the eighty year old was doing a job he obviously enjoyed, getting out and interacting with people, except apparently his "boss". He is an employee as it is not legal to contract out the same job to the same ...
This Government is way too slow in getting to grips with things. They needed to quickly ramp up new state housing and fixing existing state houses. Forget CGT and stuff that were always going to be a non goer - they needed to look at state funded building ...
You only need to look at NZHerald their opinion writers today are Christopher Niesche, Brian Gaynor, John Roughan, Simon Wilson, Matt Heath, Sir Peter Gluckman, Korey Te Hira, unnamed Editorial writer about Julian Assange, Niki Bezzant, Ana Samwaya, Kerre ...
But how do you know someone is ready to go? Most people when they make the decision for someone else it is through the prism of their emotions. They do not want to see their loved one suffer - how many times do we hear "we kill our pets when they get to ...
Rosemary - must depend on the DHB as I have just received a powered wheelchair - mind you I am looking for work and I think that was part of the application. that is in Christchurch where the Occupational Therapists are well versed in working within the ...
But Maggie these would be funded via ACC so you will not go through the same issues we do, I am told to fund my own changes to the house that I need because my husband earns more than the average wage and all housing, physio, massage, help with dressing, ...
I don't dismiss your straight talking sorry when I was talking one bad day my 2018 depression lasted May, June, July and August so there would be plenty of time to ask, be accepted and die within that time, if a professional did not pinpoint the fact that ...
Andre I don't know I just don't want to get to a point when I make a choice based on the moment that I feel I can not go on. Everyone has those moments but if these were acted on we would lose half our population. Lecretia Seales was a woman who had lived ...
Whilst I agree that no one has the right to determine another’s quality or length of life I worry that legalizing assisted dying will change things for us who have chronic disease. As a sufferer of a form of MS that is aggressively progressive I do not ...
Whilst I dislike trickle down your theory of trickle round doesn't work either. In all the stories from Victorian times the main thing was that if you were poor you bought food each day as 1) there was no way to preserve food and 2) you had to pay cash. ...
I am as my grandfather said the product of the riff raff of Europe being a mix of English, Irish, Scottish and German but being 5th generation NZ I class myself as Pakeha. I agree that these people who want to keep NZ white offends ME, I do nor feel that ...
Te Reo Putake I wonder about her motivation too, but she did spend eight years in solitary confinement so this may cloud her thinking on her best way forward. I am assuming that she does not want a secret tribunal to bring an arrest warrant for Assange, ...
Justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done.’1 Lord Chief Justice Hewart’s remarks, uttered nearly 100 years ago, are now heard throughout the common law world and beyond. It is a concept that is in the English...
So Julian Assange's fears about America may be true. Good on Chelsea for sticking to her guns. If she believes that she should not give evidence in secret and she is prepared to stand by her principles, then who am I to disregard her wishes. Think the ...
Someone who is born in NZ should always be able to come back as this is where they stand! Granted citizenship should be able to be removed for specific crimes, but these do need to be specified. Mr Taylor should be able to return - I have seen bits of his ...
