" The problem with three waters is not that it lacks thinking " I disagree LINO had nine years in opposition and two years with an unprecedented majority to work this policy out so " thinking " does not cut it. They continue to fail and still the excuses.
" Especially between the Trump arse-lickers That description does you favours. We have such a rich language yet you choose language like that to make a point.
Why is LINO such a hard sell now ? Because writers like Greg Preston think and live in Adern's warm inner glow.
Greg Preslend aka Mickey Savage and his tribal LINO desperation and attack on Chris Trotter. The rebuttal Greg. " To be honest with you all, I never read The Standard because it’s politically irrelevant, tedious and oh so safe. Ironically the last time I ...
Well done Terry for your contribution. You have just posted your way through the snake pit and live to fight another day.
Well that's a start Stuart Munroe. Like what you are advocating.
" In short, not lies… just spin. I would be much, much more interested to see Ardern denounce the Fourth Labour Government for its economic policies than to see her praise the ultimate irrelevance that was Nuclear Free. Yes DS that would have been a ...
" If you could engage with the facts that would be better " The facts that suit your opinion ? No.
Observer why are you so arrogant and a supporter of the Labour party. Oh hang no that would be correct.
I think you are the one " cherry picking " and I stand by my description despite your obvious sympathy for the satus quo. Fringe faves ? no that was New Zealanders replying to a question and you are obviously another member of the warm inner glow which ...
" Keep it up mosa, the blue suited shiny top ...
" If you don't know what is happening all over the world, start reading about it to get some perspective " I have plenty of perspective and you aren't the only one who follows international events ...that comment we could have done without but I digress.
" But alongside them is "incompetent", "fake", "unreliable", "liar", and "evil". A few even went as far as "deceitful" and "dictator". Read it again ! the above was what I was referring to. Despised fits the bill. International approval is wonderful but ...
" Has Labour been moving the country in the right direction? I believe so and you can consult this list of a hundred things the Government has delivered this year if you need verification. There is also this list of things Labour has achieved while in ...
" As good as Jacinda Ardern is " it’s time to feed the kids Prime Minister. The poorest always get hit hardest meaning Māori, Pacifica, beneficiaries, renters and the disabled are the first to be hurt by any economic recession. And these are the people ...
" Stunned silence from Drs Oliver Hartwich and Eric Crampton of the New Zealand Initiative. Its hard to compete with cacophony of right wing hysteria and paranoia.
" Dann’s comment “albeit from Unions” speaks volumes. I wonder if he would say the same thing about commentary from Employers’ organisations " Of course not because Dann being the typical sympathetic National party media spoke person who always manages to ...
" A strong signal sent but she aint listening " " candidates on the hustings report that they have witnessed rising anger towards the " Labour " Government amongst voters they’ve talked to. There is no doubt that the cost of living crisis, the housing ...
Well Ms Adern thinks its just down to the postal system. Not the fact that many people have no confidence or inclination to vote. Sure the method of postal voting is a hinderance in the 21st century and the associated problems with NZ Post is a factor. But...
" That was National " Well aware of that.
" But please vote. Your kids and your grandkids futures depend on it " That sounds like the Greens election campaign slogan some years back and like " build back better " they are just that slogans. Neo liberal Labour and its members are good at those ...
" This current government is easily the most interventionist we've had since the 1981 election " No intervention means something completely different if you are talking about 1981. And if they were serious about " intervening " we would have seen a hell of...
So UK New Labour is in the lead. If the polls are correct it could be similar to the result here where they totally dominate the commons but their neo liberal prescription will do nothing to arrest the massive structural problems and nail biting inequality...
" We need more people like Izzy, preferably in positions of power, especially in the media. Yes while we have a PM who makes bold statements like referring to climate change as " our generations nuclear free moment " and then does nothing concrete to ...
AD very sad but true. What might have been.
Muldoon's landslide in 1975 gave him a majority of 23 which he lost in 1978 and he held only 10. His last win in 1981 was tight and he retained the treasury benches with a majority of one after a recount in several seats. He limped on to the schnapps ...
Thank you Patricia for your kind observation. I am fortunate not to have these life threatening cancers but I know of families that have and the cruelty imposed by Bennett and other individuals devalues our perception of Kiwi kindness and a fair go. There ...
Chemotherapy drugs Immunotherapy drugs for bowel cancer , Cetuximab Avastin Keytruda which is effective for advanced melanoma but not for metastatic bowel cancer which has been proved effective in treating bowel cancer. But if you need to fund the drug to ...
If there was any justice........Bennett , Key and the rest of his gangsters would be in jail. Bennett can't escape the hypocrisy of her post cabinet career ...but the media like in 2008-17 who were avid supporters won't enlighten the great unwashed of the ...
" National aren’t in power currently, so are unable to do anything about the cost of living crisis " Like they are unable to do anything about it when they are !
" own our future " sounds suspiciously like " a brighter future " and we all know whose future that applied to !
