link not needed..it is common sense.. the report was about what he was running... so of course he saw it.. and he said nothing... and no..there is no link to Bloomfield saying 'i covered it up'.. that is the conclusion I have come to.. this is my opinion.....
@a.t. unsure about that equivalence.. aoc is a member of an incoming govt..going into their first term.. ardern is in her 4th year as prime minister.. I think you are being a bit hard on aoc..
we do all know that the reason we use so much 1080 is because we have no native large mammals..which 1080 would kill.. and that other countries would..if they could..
we also didn't vote for neoliberalism.. labour did an ideology-ambush on the nation.. and national happily played along.. and the rich got richer etc etc.. they sneaked it in...they can sneak it back out again.. and pivot back to being a labour party again...
I'm agnostic about details like that... the prize is to stop the current practice of house-banking.. of course another approach would be to license all rental properties.. with not offering the property to the rental market after a reasonable time for all ...
I also am having problems seeing/hearing j.ardern... especially if she is being platitudinous... I feel like yelling @ the screen/speaker: 'what about all the other bloody promises you made..? ..how about sorting that out..?' I am surprised at the strength...
thanks for clarifying that .. but of course that is not the only use for aluminium.. it is strong..it is lite-weight.. it lasts forever... how can this not be an asset to be realised ..?
doesn't really matter how...but yes it makes high quality aluminium.. to argue that closing tiwai means we are able to then close huntley .seems somewhat shortsighted/short-term..ill thought out..as the/a reason to abandon tiwai.. that other aluminium ...
I see it as an asset that could benefit the country... we are told the smelter produces some of the highest quality aluminium on the planet... and the plan is to just let it all rust away?? the infrastructure is all there...the power is all there.. I find ...
the report showing the failures @ the border... that was presented to the govt in September.. that the govt sat on untill post-election/the last possible day to release.. all the while campaigning on their brilliance @ doing..what the report showed they ...
what don't you understand about that Bloomfield query...? he knew...he covered up... (hardly a quantum mechanics equation .is it..?.. quite simple really..)
one could assume Bloomfield read that report...when it was first presented.. how can he not deny accusations he took part in covering up that report..? so about the most charitable view of that.. is that he was at the behest of his political masters.. 'cos...
@beeple.. everything u speak of is an outcome from these past decades of neoliberalism.. ..,(which is attempting to rebrand as centreism..methinks..) and all of those current bad outcomes can be fixed/turned around.. the solutions are to hand..
I think j.ardern is aware she is riding that same wave clark and key rode before her.. my concern is that she uses that personal rating to blunt the many (justified) criticisms of her incrementalism in her approaches to what so ails us.. year four of the ...
apologies..it was anne who said it..
they could all go and cluster around that billy te kaha..(another alpha male..)
ya hafta give a nod to that 'matinee idle' show on rnz.. it is really good fucken radio.. a shame it ends today .. programming-idea: rnz could open one of those unused frequencies they have.. and as part of their programming.. give these guys a drive show...
I don't get this.. the smelter is there.. for the gummint ..the energy used to power it is essentially free... wave bye-bye to Rio tinto.. and hire industry experts to run it.. for the end benefit of the new zealand people..
@weka .. they didn't come within a bulls' roar of 'taking down the federal government'... how can you seriously claim that...? more a bunch of fashion-tragics..acting out...
it would also be a nightmare for the Republicans should trump stand again.. a long shot...given the n.y. state investigations..as just one reason.. an impeachment passed by both houses would take care of that problem/possiblity.. the Republicans have every...
@mikesh . they could have a choice..50% of current value.. or 80% of what they paid for it.. or they can take the easy path.. ..and rent it out... ..(which is the object of the exercise..after all..)
love that spanish-plan... let's do that here....
wherever you prefer..
you are talking apples and oranges.. I am talking free speech... you are talking commercial pressures.. yes .of course heroin can't be sold in dairies .. but I can still argue that it should be decriminalized.. ..different things..ya see...
'the incrementalists flag is kinda red.. and there is some tory-blue.. too. 'do very little..and do it two years from now..!'. is the rallying cry... and if any change is glacial.. incrementalism is the why?.. (repeat chorus..)
and of course if you are lucid enough..you can dismantle their bullshit right in front of their eyes.. this isn't done for them... ..but for those reading them..
that would be from the final years of the empire.. they fair ripped thru the emporers then. and all of them were installed and uninstalled/executed by the praetorian guard.. who essentially ran rome in those dying decades of empire.. it was a dangerous gig...
I agree with closing down trump.. but not so happy about the weeding out of his acolytes.. as in when does the banning stop..? seeing as our spooks already see animal rights people as evonomic-terrorists...who are undermining the nz economy.. ..with their ...
Redbaiter closed down also...
h.clinton/obama/biden were all in the room together..watching the hit go down on their former operative..osama bin laden.. they all seemed to enjoy it just a wee bit too much.. so she does have form..in taking part in hits. .
this is also pretty cool.. https://i.stuff.co.nz/travel/green-travel/123922027/welcome-to-the-line-the-zerocarbon-city-with-no-cars-and-no-streets
