Deeper and deeper. "By their words will we know them...."
And another of their MPs approved the celebration.
Dreadful PR, actually. Luxon with three explanations about National's varied abortion views and then telling the women of New Zealand that National is their party was terrible public relations......
Blade, there are people who vote on single issues- they're called single issue voters. The abortion issue is one such issue. People on both sides of the issue can be very passionate about it. Some will vote against Luxon because to their one issue passion,...
Take your own advice, Adrian, old friend, and take care. As Incognito says above, Covid-19 can be like you! :-)
As a matter of interest, the visibility of the Pleiades was used as a indicator of rain and crop management in South America as it predicted El Nino conditions. Here's a paper that concerns this. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10638752/
For you, Blade, asking the question as to what is a vigilante man and why does he do what he does? Great version by Ry Cooder with stunningly simple and evocative slide guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4KmbUCwkyE
"Vigilante- a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate." Blade, I do not believe that your use of vigilante is ...
To support McFlock here, the population of Hurunui is 12000 plus people in an area of 8640 sq km, Kaikoura has 2200 people in 2048 sq kms, and Marlborough has 50,000 people in 12484 sq km. In total, some 65,000 people in a land area of 23,172 sq kms. That ...
Do not go blogging into the night. Do not go blogging into the night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. You should not go blogging in the night. Wise men who come from Left or Right And spend their time in fruitful ways Do not go blogging into ...
Thanks, Blade. Do you have an opinion on any of this?
Thanks, Stephen D. Certainly arguable so long as Te Pati Māori is seen as a credible and useful coalition partner who are surley more credible than NZF, Labour's last coalition partner.
And it's this half-arsed, half baked 'reckon' found on social media that is doing damage to our social cohesion that is based on trust, solid information and reasoning. There is a report in the Herald confirming the charges were for wilful damage. https://...
Given that the PM is not mentioned in the article at all, you might have to be a bit more forthcoming about how her canniness is being shown here?
I had a coffee with a former police prosecutor this morning and raised the issue of monitoring judge's perfomance. He said there were procedures involving reports and correspondence between police and the chief district court judge who has that supervision...
I guess a judge who has heard all the evidence and had reports on the offender- that sort of judge. It does raise the question of "Who shall judge the judges?"
I did a similar exercise an election or three ago here based on the number of teachers and academics that National loved to disparage were found on the Labour benches.. There were many in National.... Here's the reference. https://thestandard.org.nz/open-...
Come, come, Robert, you know that we are not real men here on The Standard, (magnificent beards or not), but rather wokester wimps and "poor deluded fools". :-)
Fundamentally sound, Robert.
Remember that conjecture word, Blade. There's conjecture, reckons and a third place where the discombobulated gather to share their wares.
There are many good quotes citing rust. Here's a cautionary one for Blade. "It is not work that kills men: it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade." Henry Ward Beecher. All joking and point-scoring aside, that's a powerful statement. How much political ...
That old curse, Blade! Plenty of opportunity to say, "Back in my day" and "I told you it wouldn't work". I told my brother today that was going on my headstone....... As for your punditry on the Māori caucus, he whakatauki mou. "Mā te wahine, mā te whenua,...
No, I've not considered them, and having read them am not doing so in the future. There's conjecture, there's 'reckons' and then there's plain tomfoolery. Quoting Tamihere as a credible backup to your ah, assertions, does not help.........
Nah, aren't they the ones with electro-magnetic properties requiring tin foil hats and deep state implants run by the Masonic order and the Vatican? I'm writing this from my bunker deep under the Southern Alps with my Italian Alpine Special Forces group. ...
It's conjecture, Blade, yours, mine, and Belladonna's. However, I have this on my side. The headline reads, "Labour reshuffle prompted by departure of Faafoi, Mallard". The sub-heading says "Labour’s long-awaited reshuffle has been triggered today by the ...
No, it's not accurate to say she has gone. She is still a cabinet minister.
"internal polling must be dynamite." Good try to find a negative reason for the reshuffle but it has been flagged for some time and was brought about by resignations of Faafoi and Mallard. The PM also announced that a larger reshuffle will take place in ...
More accurate to say Minister Poto Williams remains as a cabinet minister with Customs, according to the Herald. Minister Chris Hipkins picks up the Police role.
Thanks:, Herodotus. So its profits you are saying are $1 per head per week. My father was a grocer. On some items he had a 6% mark-up, like butter (buy for 1/10 1/2, sell for 2/-). Other goods went for much higher mark-up. That mark-up went towards the ...
I'd be keen to see the source and/or the reasoning behind the $1 per week claim.
Apart from doubts about Hooton's motivation here, he is saying that that polling can be reversed. What we in Labour must now do is first get the message out there that there are many good things Labour has done, with more to do, and second point out the ...
