I can't believe these two are already squabbling in public. The government is barely 3 months old, six weeks of which was the holiday period and they are completely at cross purposes. Instead of two nut jobs arguing about how best to abolish The Treaty, ...
It's curious the way you suggest all manner of expensive interventions. An entire new layer of corrections infrastructure in the form new promotion/relegation facility complete with addiction services, counselling, education, and skills training, plus wrap...
I don't think Chloe Swarbrick's message was particularly helpful. There's probably a number of ways to press the importance of change without ridiculing your political partner. Note Hipkins' response was far more measured and respectful. Best to keep the ...
How can Labour have been driven by focus groups when those focus groups apparently would have told them lifting Maori, honouring Te Tiriti, improving water quality, and compassion for transgender people were such unpopular policies? Trotter's argument (and...
Yes, tobacco does seem to be a feeder industry for National/NZF politicians. I wonder if this is what they mean when they talk about working in the real world.
Are you stalking a member of this forum? Not great.
The right do do that, all the time. The article decided to focus on her, it's the headline. I'd say marketing manager for Phillip Morris is right up there for worst things to dedicate your life to. Worse even that voting National and industrial farming.
Look, everyone must have a job and her chosen job is to peddle carcinogens to poor people. Nothing wrong with that: https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350166539/pm-christopher-luxons-sister-law-works-tobacco-company
At least I know what minority means.
Still using the public service to develop NZF policy then.
I did not know this. Dairy farms created from draining wetlands release historically bound carbon from the soil. Pakeha settler colonists raising wetlands has destroyed an important natural carbon sink: A surprisingly high share of New Zealand's carbon ...
This is disgraceful. In-zone family tries to enrol child at a state school but is told no because they don't have a fixed term tenancy. That is clearly not the rules and the school has been savaged by the ministry of education and now The Herald: Flat Bush...
Apologies, I'm sure you didn't need that distraction, but it was very informative! So, IP doesn't count and nothing to stop Chess Player commenting under a different handle with a different email address.
Beautiful. Marginalised boomer playing the victim there: Playing the victim (also known as victim playing, victim card, or self-victimization) is the fabrication or exaggeration of victimhood for a variety of reasons such as to justify abuse to others, to ...
And did you have baby-brain when they were born, or did you keep on blogging at a high level throughout? I think it's really important to call you out on your extremely lazy reference to Ardern's performance being hampered by her child. I'm surprised you ...
Cool, cool. In addition to you not knowing the first thing about press conferences, you also know nothing about business and entrepreneurship. A question to the mods: What are the previous handles this ISP has commented under? It's not breaking anonymity ...
Do we know what the shadow's name is? He works very hard.
Do you have kids, Dennis?
Does the minister not know that when she hands over group-authored notes to health ministry officials in the form of past NZ First policy, those notes speak for her? I mean, they're already going for the Sergeant Schultz defence only three months in...
Also, there is a very close link between Costello/NZF and the anti-vax cookers at InsanityCheck Radio.
I'm not sure you know how press conferences work. A politician wants to announce something to the public so their office contacts the media to be at a certain place at a certain time to they can relay that message to the public. You and your friends in the...
Yeah, the pitch that nicotine is as harmful as caffeine is straight out of David Seymour's libertarian student debating handbook. Just throw it out there to distract from the actual harm and see who gets taken in by it.
I'm not sure why you are so hurt by this, at least hurt enough to comment on it. Swarbrick has called a press conference tomorrow, presumably to announce her leadership bid. This is standard, and newsworthy, it's a press conference (there's the clue) so ...
National must wish they could have that minder sitting right next to Luxton in the chamber.
In the YouTube video, the man identifies himself as Mohn and apparently reads from a written statement and at one point holds up what appears to be a bloodied head inside a clear plastic bag. He says his father, who was a federal employee for over 20 ...
Direct correlation between ministers' statements and the tobacco industry. It appears the tobacco industry is writing New Zealand government policy: https://www.phcc.org.nz/briefing/tobacco-industry-interference-new-government-meeting-its-international-...
Public housing advocates highlight just how mean spirted the conservative, privileged right are: Unfair to single out Kāinga Ora tenants over crime complaints - public housing advocates https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/508088/unfair-to-single-out-kainga...
I think he's corrupt and has corrupted himself. There's a clear abandonment of left values as described by SPC just below @3.1.2.1.2.2. I believe you were also shocked at his call to arms against Maori the other day. He's corrupted because this slide to ...
Only one people are occupying the other.
The Times of Israel article seemed a bit unhinged but that is understandable just days after the Hamas mission. But then I looked at his website, yikes! Just so everyone knows, CAMERA is: The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America is an...
