Come on Jimmy, advocating apartheid house ownership policies based on how a person looks is pretty extreme. Especially as someone of Anne's age was no doubt very vocal (and rightly so) condemning South African apartheid system, yet sees nothing wrong in ...
Ah yeah, that IS a very racist post. Are the buyers who are 'Chinese' actually Chinese, or are they Kiwis (NZ Citizens or Permanent Residents) who are ethnically Chinese? Perhaps you would prefer an apartheid system, where 'Chinese' Kiwis can not buy ...
Compare to the UK first home buyers suite: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/help-to-buy-homebuy-and-other-housing-schemes/amp This Labour government talks the talk but sure fails on walking the walk.
But the policy will only help high income (above average wage) earners surely? Yes, it will help with finding that initial deposit, and that's great, but a bank mortgage is still contingent on being able to pay the bank mortgage and covering the government...
How would a world 'without money actually work? I am sincerely interested in your views!
That is a confession I presume Anne? Sounds like it is.
Neither nasty or old or white (well partly yes). No, racism is not an absurd notion. As always Anne, you seem to struggle to see the point. Whether Chinese against Japanese or white against black or Samoan against Tongan, ALL racism is abhorrent. But I ...
You don't think maybe flying in a private jet to New York for a baby shower was maybe a reason public and Press sentiment changed? Or ordering an entire section of Wimbledon to be cleared out so she could sit in the middle alone was a contributing factor? ...
Absolutely, and that i cannot understand. Prince (oh how I detest that word) Andrew is at best corrupt, or at worst, a pedo, yet the UK press barely touch him. Wheres the investigation into the sale of his mansion? Tax avoidance or a bribe? And as for that...
But, to quote the Sex Pistols song (God Save the Queen): 'God Save the Queen, cause tourists are money', is actually probably pretty much true. The Royal Family, and all the bs of trooping the colours and so on, is pure gold (pre Covid) for tourism to GB. ...
I guess the lack of response to your post Advantage speaks volumes: no one in NZ gives a flying F about the Royal family anymore. We have as a society (at last) moved on from tugging our forelocks to the British in general and the Royal Family in ...
Papatoetoe Police shooting. I copped a lot of abuse in here the other day when I said that I had zero sympathy for the 501 killed by Police. Now we know the crimes he was in bail for. No, not 'domestic violence'. This 501 was a violent criminal pos both in...
Wrong. Employees can get a tax deduction for income protection insurance and for the cost of tax return preparation. https://www.ird.govt.nz/income-tax/income-tax-for-individuals/types-of-individual-expenses And wrong again. Employers and the self employed...
How about employees take a little self responsibilty and take out income protection insurance? Very cheap and tax deductible. A no brainer.
Or more effectively, like China, criminalise it. But I guess as always we use the racism of low expectations to make excuses.
Better him than his numerous victims. He has only himself to blame, unlike his victims. 501 for very very good reasons. Good ridinance.
We really do not know if his children are better off or not, but quite possibly they are. And no, I am not speculating about other convictions. Just do a Google search for his Australian time. Yeah, mental health issues but that's what his lifestyle in ...
Well I guess now both Australia and NZ are better places. Harsh, but true. I have zero sympathy for people who did what he was doing in Australia (and doubtlessly here too).
"... for the benefit of our comfy Pakeha first world..." Might pay to take the racist blinkers off. Maori for decades resisted foreign owned charter fisheries vessels that they employed being subject to NZ laws and conditions of employment. These vessels ...
Yep Red, 100% true. Although Mao did unite China and end the endless internecine wars. Just did not realise when his used by date expired.
China, under Deng Xioping, was progressively opened up to the global economy and the previously suppressed entrepreneurial spirit of the Chinese was unleashed. Was the 'rest of the world' responsible for Chinas 30 years of near exponential growth? No, of ...
Yeah, like that nasty hypocrit Ricardo Menendez. and he even had the contempt for Kiwis to try and book a slot in MIQ under the grounds of being a critical worker (was he having a laugh?) and then a second time on National Security grounds. An ...
I guess we all have different sense of humour. Or in the case of many self righteous left wingers, absolutely none.
True, after all Mussonini did make the trains run on time; Hitler solved Germanys inflation and unemployment problems; Mao did wonders for literacy by introducing Simplified Chinese. Guess we could worship them as well for their very real achievements. ...
Actually I agree with her views on that narcissist predator wiyh a messiah complex Assange. Having 'leftists' views, as I consider myself to have, does not mean one should automatically worship at the feet of someone like that loathsome person
This is brilliantly funny (just waffly at first but sums up Boris towards the end). https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/feb/23/boris-johnson-dog-dilyn-prime-minister-spad-no-10
That makes sense. Thanks woodart, ad and Cricklewood!
Why are we even using bitumen though? Most countries use concrete for reading, which is far better lifespan and grip wise.
I am not saying they are either good or that I agree with their policies, just their motivations.
Its hard for people to understand what they have never personally experienced (re benefit levels etc). I know I never did until I became ill and lost two years of earnings. Most people like stability, so I doubt there would be much support for Green Party ...
How would that explain the likes of John Key, Steven Joyce, David Cunliffe and many others from both main parties that came to parliament very wealthy? The stress, long hours and (for them) low pay would seem to suggest they became political leaders ...
