It was also common at the time for maybe half of teenagers to leave highschool at 15-16 (during or end of 5th form), we used to have whole schools just for warehousing them and teaching them non-academic skills (Queens High School was a more 'academically'...
I'm pretty sure you're wrong, Muldoon has been cloned, full boys-from-Brazil style - there are 4 of them already in parliament, bullet headed balding 50-something white guys - one has already had a go at being dear-leader, Luxon is the 'taliban' candidate ...
It's worth remembering that that health act was written by a bunch of old men who remembered (as young men) bringing back the Spanish Flu from WW1 - they wrote a strong act putting the medical community in charge of future pandemics, not the politicians. ...
I think that Israel is not really a particularly good example to draw any conclusions with - it's an apartheid state with large portions of its population not being vaccinated by the govt. In reality the current round of vaccines do provide respite from ...
It's not really the storage, more you need to be able to tolerate a wider range of operating levels so you have the room to run things up and down again (you have to do this even more for bespoke pumped hydro systems) - I'd rather we don't ruin more of our...
It is similar I'm proposing that we put the wind NEXT to the hydro, and share the transmission infrastructure and not incur extra losses across the strait. First step to handling future energy needs is to shut down Tiwai (the smelter is responsible for 1% ...
No, this is like pumped hydro without the pumps, and the extra lake. Also the pumping operation is not 100% efficient unlike just letting the lake fill. The one downside is that you have to tolerate a wider range of lake levels in the existing lake, but ...
We need wind co-located with hydro - then add more hydro generating capacity, let the lakes fill when the wind blows and empty faster when it doesn't - this is cheaper, more efficient and doesn't flood more valleys than pumped hydro
Yes, she wants everyone to mass debate
The act describes an "artistic work" as a made object and distinguishes it from literary, dramatic, and musical work and expects that these lat 3 might be performed (unlike and "artistic work"). The definitions of a dramatic work is left open though the ...
A few years ago I was pissed off by the police saying they were trialing facial recognition software without any public discussion so I publicly declared the rest of my life to be "performance art". Now under section 171 of the copyright act everyone who ...
Bullshit - our 2nd hand Leaf cost under $20k (would be under $17k after this change) - try counting the number of Leafs on the road compared with Teslas - must be 50 to 1 (since I see lots of Leafs every day and see maybe one Tesla a year) - this bullshit ...
The different of course is that other industries pay tax on their profits
The difference between level 1 and level 2 is pretty minimal - more than 100 people at events (no one is going to fill a stadium in 24 hours much less 30 minutes) and the rules for servers in restaurants change in ways that can be changed in 30 seconds - ...
You mean all the clothes with all the zips thing - only real dicks need more than one fly
As someone who doesn't live in Auckland and doesn't listen to AM radio why is this guy relevant?
I think one has to be careful - we're all very lucky, the young men who brought the Spanish flu back from WW1 were the same old men remembering how bad a pandemic was, who wrote the 1956 health act that put health professionals and scientists in charge of ...
Of course the next question is whether once he's released will he be deported to Australia ..... where he could be faced with US extradition again
She even raised her eyebrows when she said: “When my eyebrow goes up, it’s a joke." - go watch the video No poker player ever lets you know what their "tell" is, if they do they are they are always lying
Rats, ships, deckchairs, Titanic
Yeah he seems to be back and posting just like he always did, as if nothing had happened, it seems to me as if the whole stroke thing might have just a way to slither out from under all his losing court cases. Did we ever see any real medical evidence as ...
Yup, people have been talking about a National overhang where they get more local seats than their share of the party vote (which would give other parties more seats off of their lists) - Goldsmith and Woodhouse are likely shitting bricks right now, it ...
Let me be a contrarian, this election National may only get one or two candidates in off of their list, letting a no name National candidate win Auckland Central may force a high ranked list only candidate out - say Woodhouse or Goldsmith .....
Let's not forget that Hamish Walker was himself a carpetbagger

Oh gee .... maybe one should show up to the NZ protests (in a mask) with a sign demanding more funding for vaccine development ....
I believe the chief medical officer can delgate under the Act
Can't believe I missed this when it came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nZQRt4BXr8
Vultures? no .... but pīwakawaka? - yup
Oh for heavens sake doesn't he realise that walking is PRIVATE transport? and should get the same sort of support that other forms of private transport get? Maybe he doesn't really understand what Walking School Buses are
I think that they will have to b e practical about it - what can they enforce? if your town has 10 roads out of it it may not be practical, but Glenorchy with 1 road will be
