Alfie. I’m Well aware that there’s no vaccine. Was just another way of stating that we needed one. Obviously went over your head. I’m aware that my post was not clearly written and have tried to clarify my points in my reply to muttonbird.
... disease patterns whereas areas like New York have been a disaster...
... people. They will be gone. New people may be there but...
Gabby you talk like WINZ acts independently of the Government. They are one and the same. It’s like you believe JA can’t be connected to what they do and how they act. It’s like some people here think WINZ was created by the Nats and Still exists to serve ...
Thanks to you TD and enough is enough for seeing the big picture and keeping it fair.
So right. You see it clearly. Not sure about the taxes as all the smaller runs will make a loss but like the guy on TV trying to open his bar realising he Will makes no money but keep a few staff employed. Hopefully we will get there.
Thank you Bazza64.. I’m starting to have a little faith again.
Thanks Ad for telling it how it is and supporting our farmers.
Thanks for not kicking the farmers.
VTO. If you going to talk through your arse just don’t. I live in CHB where are used to the dry conditions and farm accordingly. My son is trying to cope with the fact that our spring that waters our stock on 260 htrs is running at 12 litres a minute. We ...
You should elaborate on your statement. Whose bullshit were you listening to when you decided the dam would benefit very few. That’s like saying the drought in CHB doesn’t affect me because I live in Napier. We do have a severe drought at present and the ...
Helen Clark was a powerful leader who could influence policy but she didn’t write it. She might have been able to influence how it was written and she had to pick a cabinet that was capable of implementing that policy. Has JA been good enough to do that ...
The question will be not what National has to offer but what labour coalition has to offer when they most likely win a close election. I say close because although many people vote for the leader, just as many vote for policy and economic outcome. Leaders ...
Apart from the sick bucket that is needed, the promises made by National that they didn’t keep aren’t that different to the housing and mental health fuck ups and backing away from a CGT that we see from this Government. The only difference is JA can do no...
I believe JA has done an exceptional job but her Government is struggling to cross the T’s and dot the I’s. not their fault as no Government could deal with this situation any better, but people that will be hurting in a few months just won’t vote if they ...
Yes it was that group of people that tried to deal with the GFC of the time and two earthquakes. They may not govern to your standards but don’t accuse them of not taking up the challenge or showing leadership. They lead this country for nearly a decade. ...
I was commenting as an Observer, Observer. National will want to win of course but will see the chilly dark water ahead. If they don’t happen to win they could be forgiven for not being too upset. There could well be another election before the three years...
It doesn’t matter who wins the election because 15 -20% of the population are going to hate the Government’s guts by Xmas. Those without jobs are quite likely be lefties who are JA fans. Going on the unemployment benefit and not keeping up mortgage ...
Tricledrown “If the govt is prepared to spend enough we can come through this reasonably well off compared to the rest of the world.” don’t loose sight of the fact that the Government has no money of its own. It’s yours and mine and what this Government ...
One of the few comments that tells it how it is. My thoughts are that neither party Will be looking forward to winning the election. If you could call it a win. For either the Coalition or National it will be a poisoned chalice. The massive debt and ...

I’m well aware that you and others believe the quarantine could not have been initiated earlier I just don’t believe that. It is clear that at the time of lock down it would have been unrealistic to quarantine everyone coming home but for the last week the...
You seem to pick bits of my comments to criticise out of context. I thought my comment 9.1.1 was fairly clear. I was not saying the National Government has never attempted to undermine the Government I was saying National set up the poll for a reason. One ...
You need to stay in your bubble.

Tell me what’s undermining about wanting the border closed properly in a reasonable timeframe. And don’t tell me they were going to do it all along. If so they didn’t bother telling anyone.
Incognito . One could say that this article is cynical populism, but to your like minded readers. Until the last couple of days the Government had made no mention of its intention to “assisted quarantine “ and at times when various commentators had ...
Adrian, you talk like you have no job no mortgage and are living off the tax payer. “ so we will have a depression like every one else “. Sort of sounds like it doesn’t affect me. It will. If you are a superannuate like myself and have no mortgage you will...
Most of you here are happy to turn the other cheek and down play Clark’s little mistake. He’s so important that as the minister of health he’s not even based himself in Wellington while the lock down is on. His history isn’t good but there’s no one to ...
Peterlepaysan Are you the self absorbed ignorant misinformed pathetic individual that you seem to be portraying. The finance that keeps you alive and your family fed comes from those business and farms. The Government is not a bank and never has been. It ...
Right on. Farmers a good example.
