Maybe Sabine or someone with more knowledge can remind us what that term is and a bit more bg info? I went looking for it a few times, but couldn't find it again.
The Germans have a concept that roughly translates to "greed brake", that limits high incomes from getting ridiculous, where anything above the threshold is returned to the state. Yes just a tax bracket, but what an honest term for it.
This is huge. Years of guild lobbying finally gets the incentive for lower budget movies instead of just the massive international ones. Maybe NZ film will finally get some life back into it, since the NZFC can't get it's shit together. Screen Production ...
Explain yourself, because I don't know what you mean either. And no, I won't take the silly bait of 'presuming' to know and arguing that. Pointlessness.
Important article, just want to add some tautoko. Though it shouldn't need to have it, the mana of the UN gives powerful weight to the issue. I often have a hard time defending the arguments, being not a woman and seemingly man-splaining and -spreading ...
See this is what happens when you ridicule funding for the arts, then get some idiot to copy "what's popular". Advertising may not be art per se, but it uses skills and experience directly related to. NAT will never learn. They're fundamentally opposed to ...
Gotta love those free trade rules! Sure, sure it's technically correct, but is UK and Oz honey what you think of when you think of Manuka? This is how France must feel seeing us produce brie and camembert. But the Australian Manuka Honey Association has ...
hold the line against Rio Tinto Southland Couldn't happen to a more deserving lot, here's hoping.
Of coal use. I guess that even if it doesn't actually change emissions, it is proof of concept for when coal use is ceased.
So does that mean, as Gosman is implying, that the coal-use saved, will just be used somewhere else? Since we have that budget, we'll just use it up? If so, then reduction is a red herring, it should be total cessation, right?
I think this is a worthwhile point, if accurate. Have you got any more insight into this Gos? It's like those little aerolon things on the end of plane wings. They don't reduce pollution; they just increase fuel efficiency, causing cheaper and hence more ...
Actually, no I haven't. What is it, what's so good about it?
Interesting the crossover areas in GP and TPM speeches. Similar destination, different paths to.
Thanks Weka. Timely post, and good reorientation back to relevant issues (and away from the mindless clickbait of 'infighting' and scandalous carry-on usually posted about the GP).
As much as I don't trust or even believe the guy, I agree with him. I reckon it's a good thing that the NATs are saying this. Using the R-word must have hurt a lot, for some of them in that party.
I think that what the NP understands is that within the constant barrage of (dis/mis)information, there will be a sizeable chunk who just want to be told what they want to hear. We have discussed the poor (and lack of positive) messaging and comms from the...
Point one: it's this kind of sweeping certainty that I disagree with. Gender is not separate from biology in my experience; it couldn't be. Of course people can represent however they like; but to insist I agree with it, to insist that I believe it as well...
(Sorry I can't enter to the text field when hitting reply from phone, this is reply to Corey Humm @ 10) I got from the post that the way the Greens are reported on is at least a sizable part of the problem. If they 'quietly' go about their business and get...
Just want to tautoko this important and timely post, thanks Incog.
Well they coaligned on seabed mining, don't be so sure. A GRAND-CO would really spill the beans on the sorry state of this country's politics.
Greens: I predict fewer tribals, more policy's (if they can get coherent around those). I don't feel particularly part of any current tribe in the GP, and their policies are getting lost among the (reported) idiotic outbursts and fighting
Hold my beer in NOT making it a race issue? Maori is a culture, philsophy and system, as much as it is a 'race', increasingly so.
From whom though? Swing Labour voters?
At first it looks demanding, but have another look after we've vented a bit - it's not actually that radical: good luck with that; what does it even mean, now that you can ID as maori, without whakapapa in many areas? Fine, but what if more are needed? ...

Given how much GST can get written off as spurious "business" expenses now, wouldn't any increase just go unpaid as well? I asked Stubbs the same at his Simplicity road show a while back, and he agreed that the would have to be better regulation as well as...
Is that the goal now? Just 'winning'?
"Out of context"? What's the appropriate context for sharing this kind of crap? Aside from condemning it? Can anyone think of one? The sad bit isn't the cancelling, it's that we had to ever hear from the twerp in the first place.
I can't see on mobile either, even in desktop mode. Ta.
Well as far as Dancehall Riddims go, she could have done a lot worse: Shaggy, My Cry, Crybaby Riddim: https://youtu.be/kSJqMi3j32E?list=PL0988F4F0277D9F87
Are we sure this is TRAs and not some false flag op? How the hell is this supposed to attract anyone to the cause? Just grotesque, whichever it is.
