Come on PM - there is plenty of scientific evidence to back the Cancer Society claims - a lobby group they may be, if that's what you prefer to call it, although I would suggest that a group that has been around for a long long time looking after the ...
Following Bridges' latest pitch to the faithful I googled John Key/herceptin and came across this very interesting article from an NBR publication. Unfortunately I couldn't find the date but it is clear from the article that Andrew Little was still leader ...
Sorry Kat. I think I did misunderstood your drift. I have just been a bit taken aback at some of the comment on this thread. I like your final analogy.
Well said.
Now give us the examples or your post is just fake news.
What we need is another Muldoon and a dose of bulldozer dictatorship. A quote like that begs the question: "How old are you". Muldoon won the 1975 election with a landslide mainly on the back of his promise to demolish Labour's brilliant Universal ...
You are correct. My paternal grandfather was a tenant farmer who lived most of his life on the poverty line. Always voted conservative. My father was "politically educated" by his uncle who served in WWI - they both loathed the accursed class system, which...
She probably learnt her "trade" at the feet of Alan Jones. I happened to be in Australia when he launched his appalling attack on Julia Gillard - a misogynist of the worst order.
Read another piece of nonsense from National poodle Heather du what's her name in this morning's Herald. Comments from leading Australian politicians (on both sides of the political divide) suggest that they acknowledge that Jacinda had every right to put ...
I forgot to add: And what is it exactly that you have contributed to the debate?
You are the one who raised the issue of polarisation. I read Simon Wilson's Article and agree with every word of it - did you bother. I very much doubt it.
Been around for years have you? Obviously post Muldoon who was the most divisive (and lying) politician this country has ever known. Suggest you stick to Matthew Hooten's (not sure how you spell his name and don't really care.) You and Wayne are talking a ...
I put the link in my original post. Cheers.
Thanks for printing in full the article I was referring to. I wasn't if that was allowed.
My apologies to those who, for good reason, did not pay the sub to access all Herald articles. I am seriously debating whether or not I will continue with mine when it runs out. However I am pleased that Phil Twyford was given the opportunity to state his ...
This is the link to Phil Twyfords excellent rebuttal of the nonsense that Heather du Plessus (National's regular cheer leader in the Herald) wrote re Labours roading programme. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12249942 I can ...
I live in the Bay of Plenty and make frequent trips to Auckland along SH2. There is a speed restriction of 90km/h from Te Puna to Whakamarama, an 80km/h limit through the Karangahape Gorge and another 90km/h stretch from the intersection with the Thames ...
100% KJT - read Robert Fisk's "Great War For Civilisation" and weep
Presume that this plaque is located in or near Waipu.
As always, Brian Gaynor, writes a perceptive and revealing occasional article in the Herald. His contribution today is no exception. And to think that two knights of the realm enabled this outrage concerning a recently collapsed Insurance Company. And ...
I suspect that everyone will have moved on from this thread by now but here is the link to a recent article in The Guardian by George Monbiot. An important read for "believers" and deniers: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jul/03/land-reform-...
From a Wikipedia article on the YK2 issue: Some experts who argued that scaremongering was occurring, such as Ross Anderson, Professor of Security Engineering at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, have since claimed that despite sending out ...
Great thing about the internet is that with a couple of clicks it is possible to learn a little about www.heritage.org - this quote is from their front page Donald Trump and many Republican Congressmen promised they’d drain the swamp. And Heritage is here ...
100% Robert.
I may be wrong, and it is nearly twenty years ago, but I have a notion that the Y2K bug scare was promulgated partly by some religious fundamentalist groups that claimed it was to be some kind of armageddon as prophesied in the bible - difficult to link ...
Good grief. Is this statement made with your tongue firmly against your cheek or are you saying that privilege is the only lawful power broker?
Neither can I Robert - nor the innuendo that went with it. Tory troll I suspect.
Sad but true- reminds of the G and S character who always followed the party line and so "became the ruler of the Queen's Navy" (or was it a "modern Major General")- although what did Eric Roy ever achieve in all those years in parliament, apart from ...
Wouldn't mind spending a little time on justifying that statement would you. I am profoundly grateful for the work of the UN and its unceasing endeavour of bringing social and economic justice to so much of the world.
I was starting to wonder that myself. Is there a union for "junior staffers".
A junior staffer at fault. Now where have we heard that before?
