Oh yes I remember this. Some of us had PS retirement savings, GSF, and/or other insurance premiums that may have had bonuses attached to them. Most of us were told we had to apply to withdraw GSF, actually some in redundancy times they forcibly paid us out...
From my recollection this happened. Single clients who get over $160 gross a week have their benefit reduced by 70 cents for every $1.00 of income. DSW applied some sort of formula to draw down on the redundancy until we did not qualify. I had such ...
Members of the PS in redundancy days gone by were actually not entitled to benefits if they had received a redudancy payment. It is not just 'people' saying this. I went several times to DSW to apply and was told that my redudancy money had to be minimised...
Further to this Katrina Biggs comments below: https://open.substack.com/pub/aboldwoman/p/the-man-who-was-instrumental-in-whipping?r=wthj9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&comments=true A quote Besides being employed as an executive assistant for an MP, Lal...
All those thinking that Hipkins sounded good like I did, might like to reflect that according to Plunket & others , yes I know, Shaneel Lal is working in as an executive asst to either Labour party or a Labour MP. Hipkins didn't know what a woman was, Lal ...
Are you sure that the 'political' is the most important part. Often jobs that are in Parliament are more concerned with the skills you bring. I worked there for 4 years and for both parties as they were then, in Ministers offices. The Ministers concerned ...
Ha, ha love it Incognito.
I believe he should have been convicted and discharged, or possibly subject to extended supervision etc I think also that it could have innovative/creative for the Judge to place him doing good work at a place such as the Womens Rights Party or hosts of ...
What open letter? (ETA presumably the thread on the letter to Judge Glubb) This was from an X account AFTER the sentencing. Are you speaking of the victim impact statement that she was not allowed to read in court and which was later released in a redacted...
On that film there seem to be two metal fences then the tape/rope fence that were breached by the protestors.
Yes I now realise Robert was talking about the rope fence inside the metal fence and closer to the band rotunda. On this video, I have also linked to the longer version this morning, it is clear without doubt that the Police were not there, had retired and...
Here is a better film of what actually happened to Judith as opposed to the deniers' minimisation. Here is footage of the event from the Womens Rights Party (this is from an email to me & I don't want to link as this will identify me) 'You can see Judith ...
Robert it was not a tape fence, whatever that is but a sturdy metal one of the type that can form an unbroken line when they are slotted togther onto lugs.
We all know about Luxon's faith. The church he used to publicly say he belonged to is one of the so-called Prosperity Churches. https://www.britannica.com/topic/prosperity-gospel and this from https://rpl.hds.harvard.edu/faq/prosperity-gospel#:~:text=The%...
tsmithfield I think you are widening the net with this statement Firstly, in my experience, people who have been involved in conflict such as this often don't want to talk about their experiences because it very traumatising to them to know they might have...
But but..Nats offer Tax cuts ! Real ice cream..and movies! As a friend said to bring back real icecream the Nats would have to bring her mother back to life, and for all their self vaunted 'can do' and experience she did not think they were capable of ...
I don't think Nats think this way Weka......from my experience with my Nat family and friends. They tend to vote regardless of what the Polls are saying (perhaps despite what the polls are saying) as they see it as a civil duty.
So her family's concerns about her safety are dismissed because somewhere, some time she has mentioned private security payments. Private security arrangements are never supposed to take the place of Police in combatting civil unrest. Private security ...
Why can't we have women speaking? What is so threatening? Have the police and the trans community actually listened to what is being said at these gatherings? Some of it is not on the trans issue/s (NB the whole world does not revolve around the trans ...
Yes I know a few as well. In the group of professional women I meet with who were/are so concerned about The Greens wealth tax and its affect on single women earlier on, there is a view from Friday's session that none would be voting for the Nats as: 1 ...
I accept I did not link to the quote re the application for a discharge. Sorry Weka...
Why do we have to 'assume' anything re $$$ especially when the reasons given were about the fears for her safety from her family. Fears I can see are justified in view of the non- policing that occurred at Albert Park previously. I actually feel that she ...
What does this mean? She was asked not to go by her family after NZ police could give no assurances as to safety. Was she to have brought her own police force with her? Is that what the reference to money is about?
[deleted] [I've deleted your post because here we are again with me having to use my time chasing you up on moderation stuff. This sentence was the problem "the person who attacked the elderly woman, last I heard, was getting a discharge without conviction...
The one on the top left has a most realistic face. Amazing
Very good incogniot! And they've put the armour on in case they were going to be rash enough to tackle him on it but too late, bowled over by a snow job and unthinking and unswerving blind loyalty.
Well I for one still class Labour as left, whether it is left enough is a question for some. If people continue to say Labour is not left and the electorate believes this and does not want to vote Greens or TPM then we are hastening a Right turnout. There ...
Agree Darien, and Davidson in higher office gives me the shivers bearing in mind her non showing in her Ministerial portfolios up until now. We should be concentrating in getting the Left in rather than counting chickens before they hatch........it gives ...
Sometimes he can't even spare 5mins because you know........tennis.
Yes Anne, I remember hearing about something happening like that. I remember meeting Gibb, as part of my work, and was amazed at the wee squeaky voice he had.
DV linked to Seymour's Housing policies here 10 September 2023 at 4:35 pm The 'wide boys' will be back.........hope Nats think it is better to go with NZF than ACT or put a tight lid on the recycled neo-lib trash that is seen in the ACT Housing policy. It ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
