Bryan Gould seems closer to reality than most. http://www.bryangould.com/big-rocket-man/
Spot on Anne. Sums up my thinking nicely.
He’ll run it into the ground.
You’re right Carolyn, the money allocated to Charter schools would be better spent on providing PD, and teacher aides.
So, when the party drops to consistently below 40%, and preferred PM continues to slide, Bill’s in trouble. What about Paula?
Where’s Paddy Gower when you need him?
My reckon is that Bill will linger on until polling is consistently below 40%. In the meantime Simon will roll Paula quickly, and thus be poised for the leadership.
Picking up on Micky’s point about connecting with new volunteers. We need to see some leadership from Fraser House here, before all the good will evaporates. As a member of my LEC, anything would be better than the nothing support we are getting at the ...
True, I’ve asked a class of Year 8s why we celebrate Christmas, and usually less than a quarter can tell me. Easter is even worse.
To be honest, I don't think the Herald can do better. They are now the Daily Mail of NZ. The likes of decent journalists like Matt Nippert and David Fisher must struggle to justify their employer sometimes.
The majority of male sports revenue comes from TV ratings. My guess is that until women's' sport rates as well, there will always be an excuse not to pay them equally. Having said that , it behooves the various sports governing bodies to find alternative ...
As someone who has suffered from a family member being addicted to the pokies, I find this appalling. The deliberate targeting of those, mainly children, who may have a predisposition to the gambling gene is abhorrent. If I was king of the world, there ...
I do despair for the likes of Kirsty Johnston, Matt Nippert, and David Fisher at the Herald. Great journalists doing great work. Buried under the dross that is the bulk of NZME.
I've a monorail to sell you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDOI0cq6GZM
I'd have called you an ecologist rather than a racist.
Not sure, they do it too, is a particularly valid argument.
Scratch the skin of most NZers and a racist will show.
Gotta remember Orsman was a nimby cheerleader during the unitary plan process. If you want a more responsible dialogue go here. https://www.greaterauckland.org.nz/
And there's the difference. National looks at the bottom line only, Labour governs for people, not solely for financial gain.
The Prime Minister needs to continue with her relentless positivity. Someone on the front bench needs to be the bad cop to her good cop. Otherwise the opposition will continue to get all the anti government press.
And there are still issues with Novopay:)
If that's Tat Loo, he's very active on Twitter, and more rabidly weird as ever.
Julie Anne Genter as Minister of Transport, yes please!
I know schadenfreude is not a particularly noble emotion. But should Winston go with a progressive government, the shit fight within the National Party will be a joy to behold.
Judith as caretaker, rally the troops, take it to the opposition etc. Then early 2020 gets rolled by Simon Bridges. ( He's a man.)
My immediate though was, their coffers can't be as full as we thought.
If a Labour/Green coalition is only 1 or 2 seats away from a majority, what chance of splitting off a Shane Jones/Tracey Martin from NZ first?
All that may well be true. However we know that the police will say, as they always do when National are involved, "Nothing to see here... move along."
We might not all agree with Bomber a lot of the time, but we need to be in his corner on this one.
As the judge says in American court room dramas, "You opened the door Mr English."
National testing on its way. Then our students will be well and truly screwed.
