In relation to your second paragraph. Yes. I’ve taken dozens of trips on UK trains each year for the past 31 years. In relation to your other accusations, in your mind you think you’ve found a smoking gun. I know for a fact you are 100% incorrect, but ...
... shooting yourself in foot. This Rose at least only became aware... the past 18 months. This rose was living in the UK...
Robbos parting gift, a double dip recession. Thanks mate, you won’t be missed. https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8563046/double-dip-new-zealand-recession-confirmed/ [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or ...
thanks national haha you’re funny. Two consecutive quarters to be in recession. Figures are therefore from 1 July 2023 to 31 December 2023. Thanks Robbo.
Ah yes, but you got a train going when and where you wanted. Meanwhile here we have / had Te Huia and …. Crickets
Indeed. Train services in the Uk are fabulous. [Please fix the typo in your email address in your next comment, thanks - Incognito]
Frankly, one might more reasonably ask can NZ survive if kiwi rail don’t exit the cook straight? Quite happy for them to Choo Choo a few trains up and down the country when we have trucks as a realistic alternative. Meanwhile with their proven ...
A funding cut (as MS asserts) and blowing your budget (the one Labour set last May) are two quite seperate issues. Conflating them and then trying to double down on inaccuracy is rather unhelpful to a genuine debate. As was pointed out in question time ...
No, you are not the only one. Those who have listened to question time over the past few days will have had a couple of things confirmed; (1) The Labour MPs tasked with asking questions are indeed very fast … so fast that intelligence isn’t able to catch ...
I suspect you may have been disappointed if you did watch. It was a disappointing display all round from the opposition MPs. Labours new finance spokesperson in particular looked completely at sea.
The photo doesn’t seem to make sense in the context of the post??

Is this really how you see us?
The trope that NZ farmer's are the most carbon efficient in the world is not accurate, and the DairyNZ research which that claim was based on has been updated, showing we are in the middle of the international pack. The original calculations also excluded ...
Thank for that info Dennis. That really is quite incredible. Amazing that no-one has taken the pip somewhere along the line and booted them out. Good on them, they have made the most of it.
I've watched a few videos on this family with some envy. Not sure if it's covered in the book but I wonder how he has, or if he requires permission to occupy this hut and live on the land. Assuming he doesn't own either.
I am deliberately not watching anything of Sneddons’ due to the use of the term ‘TERF’. The reek of misogyny permeates from the headline and that’s as close as I’m willing to go.
Plenty of elderly die in state funded care with maggots embedded in their flesh as a result of underfunding, understaffing and otherwise negligent circumstances. Are you saying we are not allowed to talk about the inequality?
The trade-off I referred to was super paid by the government in relation to jobs/employment/tax revenue earned
My figure is based on an overheard conversation between she and a daughter. Something about her being a widow- it was definitely $709 per week. I’m relying on anonymity on this site not to be breaching confidentiality, I admit it’s close to the line. But ...
I’ll just add, it was below living wage til I came along and started activating
Ok everyone. So we avoid the costs of means-testing people and pissing off the ‘oldies’ and losing their votes. My employer provides living wage employment to four staff, at full to part time living wage. Is that an acceptable trade-off, given ‘living wage...
https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/checkpoint/audio/2018735910/nz-super-costs-up-as-nz-retirees-on-dollar100k-passes-30-000 I want to highlight this. I have had lots of different jobs in the health and disability sector at various levels of hands-on...
You surely don’t know what you’re talking about James if you think ‘the left’ are universally outraged by meat eating
I understand where you’re coming from Rosemary. Many of us who are activists on the left have had to grapple with disappointment at how NZ First has been a handbrake on the rate of transformation our Labour-led coalition has been able to achieve. Deceased ...
I’m with you in this Weka. A jury that is unbiased toward sexually motivated fatal violence toward women, sociopathic lying, self-pity and cover-up after the fact? I’m scared to live in a society where such a jury can be found. Maybe the media coverage is ...
https://wecantconsenttothis.uk/ Grace Millane’s accused murderer has pleaded ‘rough sex gone wrong’ as his defence against guilt for her death. As I suspected would happen. We can’t let this become a thing in New Zealand. It’s licence to kill. I may not be...
‘Bullies who are narcissistic by nature’ and ‘two side argument is a cop out’ - truth in both these statements. I’ve experienced a situation recently in a voluntary organisation where I’ve been subjected to prolonged bullying of others. Resisted attempted ...
Nina Paley is an independent feminist animator and copyright activist. Here is a link to her second feature length animation film, Seder-Masochism, a retelling of the story of Exodus and a personal exploration of the Jewish Passover tradition in an atheist...
The killer has a moral illness not a mental illness. A sociopathic murderer. Bad not mad. That is how he should be categorised.
The attitude of the landlord in the original post - they're acting like the mafia running a protection racket. Renters, if Labour wins we're going to come around with the baseball bats and kneecap you. That is raise the rents by 10% and economically injure...
