So, what’s the business case for that? Presumably similar to all the amazing roads and viaducts in Southern Italy ie non-existent. If you want the govt to fund public transport in its entirety, then just say so. But $1 a ride, even around Auckland, ain’t ...
Labour doesn’t care about rural NZ - didn’t you realise that?
So strong opposition and holding the Government account is now "Dirty Politics" is it? Good to know.
Jeepers. The conspiracy theorists are out in force on Open Mike today.
What a shambles. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12013908
How can I be trolling if, as you say, I am correct? [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in future.]
“Mainly just scroll on past it these days”... Exactly what I “mainly” do with your poorly reasoned and constructed posts, Carolyn_Nth. But each to their own, eh? [you look like you are trolling. Up your game and count this as a warning - weka]
God Matthew, give it a rest. We get it. You’re sorry for being a man. Meanwhile, the rest of us will just get on with life, trying to find a way through this macho, white male, privileged, enabling etc shithole that must be NZ. [No, I won't give it a rest....
Poor attempt at diversion Anne. Please do better.
Well, given the constant reference to #metoo, I would have thought it is in everyone's interest that this sort of activity is published.
It would have been a waste of $500 no matter what the result of today's caucus meeting was. [lprent: Go away troll. Banned for 4 months. ]
Labour didn't need National to destabilise their leader. They did that all by themselves.
Direct quote from Little : "The campaign is on a good footing, Labour’s caucus is united and the party is healthy". If that's the case, why resign?
Since when was 24+15 greater than 47?
Unfortunately for Labour, strategic nous and Clint Smith don't really go together.
That's sure to work Adrian. Just rail against and try to shut down the views of anyone you don't agree with. How's that email/text/letter campaign working out for you?
Mate, John Key is long gone. Your obsession with blaming everything (including Labour's current shambles) on John Key and the MSM has clouded your judgement.
"It's MMP, get used to it". Well, you'd at least have to agree that Labour is doing something wrong in the MMP environment? 4 terms in opposition would tend to suggest they haven't quite nailed a winning strategy for MMP...
"You would think that after this many leaders in such a short time they would realise that the problem is not the leader, it is the party, those within it who set the tone and what the party is perceived to stand for." You are correct, of course. However, ...
Little is toast. What a bloody shambles.
Quick, look over there. Andrew has pulled out of all media interviews this morning. Nothing to see here though, I'm sure.
Ummm. I may be a snapper, but what does that make Audrey? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11897368 Are you willing to wager, lprent!
What's the attack line Adam? Do you seriously think Little will still be Labour leader this time tomorrow? I don't. That's not an attack line. That's a subjective statement based on what's happened over the past couple of days.
Yes, we're all lazy, shiftless and apparently untalented, lprent. Luckily we're left under no illusion about how (very self deprecatingly) you are amazing, skilled and probably the biggest computer aficionado since Steve Jobs. Or not.
Well, I guess with 8 weeks to go, your hard earned dosh may help to purchase some new hoardings for the new Labour leader to be announced tomorrow. I hope you've programmed your donations accordingly lprent.
Msm... blah... Radio Nz bias.. blah... picking on Labour... blah.. picking on Metiria even though it bumped the Greens... blah...
Well, what would you think, Ed? Can't you do the maths? Are you giving odds on Little stepping down tomorrow?
You've had 3 years to get policy out there and sway the vote. What makes you think $20 here or there with 8 weeks to go is going to make a difference? Supporting Andrew on Facebook won't make him PM, sadly for you.
Yeah, a liablity in your view, Weka. But we all know that you still think in an MMP world that 24% +15% + 11% = a credible government. I'm not sure that most outside this echo chamber would agree. Plus this: https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/...
Chris Bishop is one of the hardest working list MPs in parliament. Which is why he will romp home in the Hutt South electorate this election. Well deserved too.
"Even the meanest intelligence can join those two dots to conclude that not owning a home predicates poverty." I disagree with your conclusion that not owning a home predicates poverty, which must mean I have no intelligence, according to you.
