I don't know enough about the actions Parliament can take in a case like this where the whole of Cabinet were complicit. Can, for instance, their retirement perks be withheld as a punishment? It would be nice to think we don't have to pay these criminals ...
I have had the accommodation supplement with my super for the past 5 years, and this year for the first I got a letter to confirm nothing had changed in my circumstances. So even that premise from everyone is incorrect.
Or an Imelda Marcos
You left out MPI. I listened to someone talking about the culture there and most who work there are appalled at what goes on.
In fact it was $27 a week from a total of about $130 so percentage wise and how far each dollar went it was a huge amount and today's $25 was peanuts compared to it. I remember because I was affected at the time with 3 young children to care for.
lol, Little said that now Govt have this huge surplus Labour will be able to pay for everything out of that. Who's boxed who in?
100% agree. Their ideology seems to get in the way of common sense. Even Muldoon looked after those in low paid jobs or those struggling to get a job. (remember the rent/wage/price freeze?) This is total madness and an indictment on the whole lot of ...
Crikey, this sounds like Peter pays Paul who pays Peter who pays Paul etc. I wish I could understand this better as you may be onto something. In the meantime we all fail as standard of living (something not often spoken of in NZ these days) falls and ...
I don't expect (or even want) everyone to agree, but I do think there should be some minimum standards as to the quality of posts. You know, so we don't waste our time arguing, for instance, on whether the earth is flat or whether men beat women because ...
This post is disturbingly and dangerously ignorant. Your very misinformed opinion that "women always chose for their partners them [sic] most physically, sexually or economically dominant male they can select at the moment" is tantamount to saying that a ...
"And from the 1990’s Cook Islands have been a favorite of our American friends, like doctors / dentists and business owners to protect themselves from US based lawsuits and angry ex-spouses etc." People seem to think this behaviour is a legitimate use of ...
That's a great Guest Post! Short, direct and to-the-point. Unfortunately, it is a common practice for many governments - not only in New Zealand to support, often disastrous, foreign investments which often brings terrible results, while at the same time ...
TPP is a direct assault on everyone in NZ, not just Maori and no one from this national government is welcome at my place either. I stand with Ngāpuhi and anyone else with the balls to call this corrupt government out.
Given that the vast majority of New Zealanders and Australians have access to the internet, I don't see any more excuses turning a blind eye to the detrimental effects and predictable results of CC. Wait no longer and educate everyone you know and/or set ...
As a reporter Gower (madeforradioface) does not have the 'mandate' to choose what he goes soft on or not. He is supposed to be a Political Reporter so report politics. No bias or slimy comments.
only with client consent
The obligations were on RA to only share their information with consent. Clients were informed of their right to privacy. Likewise before receiving information from a community referral we would require the referrer to have sought consent from the client ...
Hi Weka Declaration: I am a former employee of Relationships Aotearoa (RA). When we were operational and when we closed no information collected about a client was shared with anyone without explicit client consent. In the last 2 weeks of operation ...
If we had great opposition, who in the past were the organisers of this type of protest, we the silent masses would be marching from all ends of the country. Without co-ordination we have a few here and a few there as with the TPPA protests. If only....
Without getting in to a heated debate in researching another matter which related to Mr Hickey and accusations I found a comment section around a month or so before Crafar Video emerged where a Andy (letter for last name) ? commented on dirty dairying and ...
This present Government will not want an investigation in to Kerr's ties with SCF because I bet they invested in Kerr via ACC and NZ Super . Torchlight was formed in June 2009 -- just ready for SCF to announce its loss $$$( but underlying profit ) .... The...
Those comments are just so far out of touch. Paul Carruthers means well but timing is all out . Allan Hubbard place assets in to SCF 28 Feb , the same day the anonymous complaint was written (and originally said to have been received at secom). 28 May ...
Today, thousands of families rely on food banks as their regular source of food as money for food is considered to be discretionary spending by many. The increasing long-term use of the Mission’s food bank is a growing concern. This makes me feel like the ...
Nice Photo with Oravida ... http://www.nbr.co.nz/canon-media-awards-2014-social-gallery-2-people-scene
Pike River was opened without any regard to safety so we 'could create jobs and wealth'. Instead it lost lives and went bankrupt. We are always hearing of risky un environmental ways to make money for NZ, but they don't seem to create any wealth only ...
I have grown up in Christianity and the sad thing is that there is a proportion of the church in nz that is so insecure about its marginal place in a secular society that they will jump at the chance to vote for a party that they will be told is the ...
Because xtasy you have to go to the Privacy Commissioner first, then they issue you a certificate to take it to the Human Rights Tribunal. That is the correct process to address a privacy breach. Bennett's arrogance is breathtaking and I'm sure that has ...
We need to massively support the Australian government in its stand and urge them to hold strong!! Maybe the opposition parties can write an open letter to the Australian government
It is heartening that the government can back down from poorly thought out rushed policy. Alas, I fear they wont do the same with the asset sale legislation- instead they are determined to fast track it through the house. See http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/...
The first step is not that hard for Collins. It's harder for those responding. Come on Collins .....are you for real or full of bullshit and hot air? Sounds like spin to me. Go on Collins - do it! Let's see what you are made of.
So? Collins is buying time for the Privacy Commissioner investigations hoping that someone else printed the email off and not just her - otherwise Collins is screwed! Lawyers being hired and writing letters means nothing. Collins will know she will get in ...
