The people staffing the businesses involved would have known they'd been on-site at the same time as this person via the app if they were scanning on entry like they're supposed to. If Audrey wants someone to blame for them not knowing about it, start ...
Seems very fit for purpose to me. I don't want the people I elected supposedly to govern the country instead asking me constantly what they should do. If they can't figure that out for themselves, what am I paying them for?
I've seen a few of these guys on Twitter saying they voted Labour so it wouldn't need the Greens to form a government, so there's now a moral obligation on Labour not to work with the Greens. The overweening self-importance displayed certainly explains why...
He said he believed a lot of Coasters had voted Labour to kick the Greens out. Everyone's free to believe whatever they like. For example, I believe a lot of Coasters voted Labour because they like that Jacinda Ardern dresses in clothes from NZ fashion ...
Any person from that deep in the US government who supports multilateral dialogue and fact-based research should be supported as a candidate for head of the OECD... True, but this one occupies a senior position in an administration that's strongly opposed ...
The Greens have choices other than coalition with Labour... I keep seeing people on Twitter seemingly unable to grasp this I-would-have-thought-obvious fact. Underestimating the Greens seems to be chronic among their opponents.
The headspace to deal with yet another crisis involving a National candidate clearly was not there. I think National's campaign slogan "Strong Team" will experience fame that lasts long beyond this election. They're in a cleft stick - it was clear the ...
I think I've watched that three times now and it doesn't get old. I like that they have to explain for the US audience what bawbag means.
Most of the truck growth had been since 2014, which the analysis said was illustrated by the number of heavy vehicle kilometres travelled rising from 1.6 billion to 2.5b in 2020 Coincidentally, I've been driving pretty much monthly from Palmerston North to...
... he is married to me, how could he be sexist?” Collins said. Does anyone have any idea what Collins might have supposed that to mean? Or is it just random noise masquerading as a sentence?
You're entitled that opinion, and the businesses are entitled to the opinion that if the government's making a special offer to help them fund commercial infrastructure development, then commercial considerations apply.
If they don't they damn well ought to. Businesses keep information that could benefit their competition confidential for the obvious reason that it could benefit their competition. There's no reason the government should require them to make that info ...
...their very presence pokes at the left's inability to work coherently together. Hadn't thought of it that way, but yes - in theory we shouldn't need a dedicated environmental party, but in practice it turns out we sure as hell do.
You may be right Wayne, but I find that no more comprehensible. If someone is outraged enough to change their vote because a private school's building project got some funding, they're going to die of apoplexy when they see the things Labour's willing to ...
Are there really Green voters who will now not vote Green because one of the shovel-ready building projects to receive Covid-19 response funding is for a private school? I can't really picture that level of fuckwittery, but people never do cease to ...
To be fair to Dementia Donnie, the US only had 1260 deaths yesterday... For those like me who struggle with comparing US figures to NZ, that's the equivalent of 19 people of dying of Covid-19 in NZ yesterday.
If any party could bring down the Totalitarian regime of Putin it would be the Communists. Projection, much? Putin's running a kleptocracy, it's in no sense totalitarian. The Communists, however...
Unusually perceptive of Donald Trump Jr, that.
They've convinced themselves that the virus only really affects 'useless eaters' like the elderly or people with chronic respiratory illness, and those people are a small price to pay for restoring the sacred BAU. Apparently a significant proportion of the...
Take-home message from this is "Take contact tracing seriously." Our prospects depend on all of the infected people being able to tell the contact tracing team everywhere they went and when, and who they met, for the last two weeks. It's all fun and games ...
"Low key" in relative terms. I wouldn't have heard of this if it weren't for feminists on Twitter. Calls for submissions by government departments are inevitably "low key" relative to running a paid advisory committee.
Exactly: under Stats NZ's proposals, how would we know whether the inevitable increase in the rate of 'female' sex offending actually involved females or not?
There are also cases of trans women being sexually in men's prisons in NZ. You're doing it again. See below from weka: "I reject the positioning of the safety of TW and the safety of women in opposition like that." Re the capability of Corrections to deal ...
Yep!
"Probably" my arse. According to Corrections: For violent offending in 2001 and 2003 conviction figures read 89% for males and 11% for females. ... On the day of the 2001 Prison Census (15 November 2001) 4 percent of the total sentenced prison population ...
One of the more bizarre aspects of this debate has been left wing people arguing that men won't lie in order to access spaces where they can assault women. That bears repeating. And it especially bears thinking about by the people making that argument.
Sorry - link should be https://speakupforwomen.nz/sufw_essays/reasons-for-safeguarding-concerns-with-self-id/. And yes it is speculation and needs hard data, which is exactly why I'm dubious about Stats NZ making gender the default based on advice from ...
They are going to collect both. The issues are that they don't distinguish between sex and gender very clearly, ordinary people are likely to be even less clear on the distinction, and they're planning to use gender rather than sex as the default.
The 'if' statement is reasonable. There's no reason to assume identifying as a woman makes men less likely to offend. Speak Up For Women has more on it. The difference between crime and the pay gap is that very few women commit violent or sex offences, so ...
Crime is a fairly obvious one. If trans-identified males commit violence or sex offences at similar rates to males in general, we could expect 'gender as default' to result in a significant increase in violent and sex offending by 'women.' The pay gap may ...
One of the big gaps in this document is the claim that sex data is not usually needed but not explaining why, or when sex data would be needed. More to the point, offering nothing whatsoever to back up the claim that gender should be the default. Sex is a ...
