Legal issues of this kind seem to take for ever to get sorted out in the USA. I reckon Trump could well be dead by the time anything in the nature of a trial is ready to go ahead. In any case, he's irrelevant now, and possibly always was. While he was out ...
Time for Eddie's suggestion to be implemented? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsohPbnp1b8 (skip to 3:20).
Exactly what I've been saying for years, Tony. A cowed and ignorant populace is what the rightists want. They've got quite a lot of the ignorance in place now. The cowing will be much harder, and certainly much uglier.
Well, the only point of a National government is to keep Labour out ....
I knew personally one board member (name and organisation withheld) of known left-leaning persuasions, who was "invited" to resign before the end of their term after a centre-right adminstration took office.
Sorry, Weka, I should have provided a link. I just assumed everybody knew about it.
A letter to the latest issue of the NZ Listener (4-10 March; can't find an on-line link, sorry) compares the effects of "slash" displacement, after Cyclone Giselle, to the 1966 Aberfan disaster. Very different events in most respects (especially the number...
As soon as I read Point 1 in Mr Xi's "plan" I figured we might as well not bother reading the rest. "Respecting the sovereignty of all countries"? China knows a lot about that. Ask the Taiwanese, the Hong Kongers, any Indians around in 1962 ... and yes, ...
"…step-in powers for the Government if any council or group of councils are unable to deliver a viable plan that can deliver on outcomes for water quality, infrastructure investment and financial sustainability." How many of those bodies listed in Ad's ...
From the locality, of course. So sometimes a very small talent-pool.
NO! That sort of opportunist behaviour is seldom looked upon favourably.
Even allowing for Covid, Ms Ardern was for me something of a disappointment. No question, we couldn't have had anyone better at the helm for dealing with that particular crisis, plus the several others that came along. But her clear reluctance to be ...
None of those Nat administrations had to deal with an ACT caucus that was anything like the size of the present one
.... yet.
Thanks, Shanreagh. Should have spotted the t-i-c. Can only plead humidity-induced brain-fog (lots of that lately where I live).

"Sliced cheese weather"?? All right, we know what it refers to, but what's the derivation or allusion?
258mm = 25.8cm = slightly more than TEN inches. Double-double frightening.
Mark Twain was on to the widespread confusion between wage levels and purchasing power over 120 years ago. See Chapter 33 of A Yankee At The Court Of King Arthur.
Characteristically, they're even too late to walk backwards for Christmas, unlike Spike Milligan & Co: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e61uC-5s9VU
With the greatest regret, I've had to conclude that another female leader at this point would be a serious tactical error. There's a lot of bile still out there, waiting to be spilled. Don't give it another obvious target. Let the gammons have their MAWM ...
"It is a pretty good idea to get out when they still want you." - Calvin Coolidge, US President 1923-29. (By coincidence, he served in the top job for almost the exact same length of time as JA, and may himself have quit because he felt he wasn't up to ...
"Don't you think she's looking tired?" - The Ninth Doctor
Yes, and how many of those dividends actually stay in the country instead of "trickling sideways"?
"Where his lack of detail will show up is in the election debates." Won't matter. He'll find (or have found for him - maybe by Crosby Textor) a slogan that's a latter-day equivalent to JK's "show me the money". Which he'll keep banging away with. And it'll...
For God's sake, is this silly error going to go on and on being committed? If you extradite someone, it's because you DO want them in your country - to face justice. We certainly DIDN'T want that Aussie reject here.
"Rightly or wrongly nzers will think it's nuts kids are roaming the streets attacking and hospitalizing people and not in schools and that military school may prove popular with middle NZ. If you talk to working class people about youth crime they will say...
"The recent Newshub poll confirmed that Luxon is going backward at a fast rate. Which is a terrible result for an opposition leader." But according to the other figures in that poll, everything else seems to be going the blue crowd's way.
Same here! Access to water that's adequate in both quantity and quality is in my view a fundamental human right. And ultimately, the only true guarantor of such rights is the government. Labour's error with 3 Waters has been one of communication, allowing ...
Like it or not, they're going to have to drop 3 Waters for the time being. They've allowed it to be framed by its opponents as an asset-snatch, rather than its true purpose, which is guaranteeing the universal human right to fresh water supply of ...
"Great points however he does get trotted out by the MSM." They wouldn't trot him out if they figured he was any kind of genuine left-wing threat. Nope, gone to the dark side, deffo.
