Nearly 10,000 dead in the ongoing Haiti cholera epidemic. The CDC knows exactly how it started and who's to blame, but isn't allowed to tell anyone. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/foreigners/2016/04/what_caused_haiti_s_cholera_epidemic_the...
Ahahahaha one mention of Jacinda Ardern's connection to the Niue deal and everything comes to a screaming halt. COMMENCE OPERATION SWEEP-UNDER-CARPET
go back to the same point in Key’s First Term (April 2010) and you’ll find that National in 2016 are 4 points down This in itself is astounding. A government in its third term - six years later! - is polling only 4 points lower than during its honeymoon.
BREAKING: NZ Labour Leader Andrew Little is named in the Panama Papers as many times as Prime Minister John Key!
...Mr McCully appoints the trustees who are Ross Ardern (NZ’s High Commissioner to Niue and father of Labour MP Jacinda Ardern)... aaaaaand there it is. Every time.
Those damn Seventh Day Adventists.
Arguably Clark’s government was involved in some small level of nanny-statism. Two words: Electoral Finance Act
The NACT shills in the Labour Leader's office have gone all quiet about it too. Didn't take long for that issue to get swept under the carpet as soon as someone mentioned "Matt McCarten".
At this point in the last election cycle - April 2013 - Labour was polling at 36%, and went on to get thrashed. Labour is presently polling at 28%.
Of late Labour has developed an unfortunate habit of attacking National about things that it then realises it really would rather not draw attention to. Blah blah offshore accounts, blah blah leafy suburbs, blah blah secret trusts, blah blah Donghua Liu, ...
In many ways it's similar to the way National was immunised against attacks about "forgetfulness" when it turned out that the Leader of the Labour Party at the time had "forgotten" he had millions of dollars sitting in an offshore Chase Manhattan account. ...
The Council of Trade Unions wants an explanation from Unite on why it failed to pay the IRD more than $36,000 in PAYE on behalf of its employees. Unite, one of New Zealand's largest unions, owed IRD over $130,000 for the year ended March 2009 (its most ...
National is essentially immune to attacks about tax avoidance while Matt McCarten is running Andrew Little's office.
Yep, that Australian mainstream media sure be fair and balanced Like this and this
Hager is good at what he does. Part of being good at what he does is knowing when his work is going to have the greatest impact. Hager doesn't break important stories in non-election years.
Labour backtracks on Kermadec Marine Sanctuary http://m.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11621260 Because Labour
Cunliffe screwed up his Leadership by, amongst other things, being literally the worst campaigner in the world.
I actually suspect he may be the Beast 666 as foretold in Revelation.
It all comes down to sovereignty, just like the TPPA.
Since I wasn't on the jury and didn't hear the evidence, I'm neither surprised nor unsurprised.
Let me guess - it's the Jews?
The fix is in.
But who will Clayton Cosgrove get to pay for his suits now?
Could not care less, actually. Knock yourself out. [RL: From experience when someone asks for a ban, it's because they're indirectly expressing contempt for the moderation process. For this reason I usually oblige them. Take a week off.]
I have no grudge against CV, I just think that readers here deserve some intellectual context into which they can place the things he says. Knowing that someone is an anti-vaccination chiropractor and a 9/11 "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" conspiracy ...
another significant Labour party communications failure Spot the rightwing concern troll. How much is Crosby Textor paying you?
I feel sorry for you if you think that Robertson rules the Labour Party It's more that obstacles to Grant Robertson's rise within the party often seem to accidentally brutally stab themselves to death while shaving.
Antivax 911-truther talks about "common sense"
I don't see how that's relevant. The problem is that Labour either has a) nobody managing communications, or b) someone who isn't cutting it managing communications, or c) MPs who refuse to have their communications managed None of those things are a ...
See: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/78374359/vernon-small-pity-the-party-that-looks-longterm-but-gets-hit-by-the-hereandnow If Opposition MPs wants a lesson in message management they could do worse than use, as a workshop for young ...
One would think that after so many years of leaving gaps and having National step in and fill them with whatever it wanted to score points, Labour would stop leaving gaps. How many "show me the money" moments will it take for Labour to learn the lesson?
