I think there should be instant fines given out to political parties for producing policies which fly against the evidence which has been researched fully. National are keen that every opposition policy is effectively costed and yet they come up with ...
More evidence-free policy from National. Have a read : Dr Jess Berentson-Shaw vents her frustration on twitter. https://twitter.com/DrJessBerentson National's Policy on Sugar tax.....ignore evidence, do nothing National's Policy on discouraging water ...
I hope you get a better position offered to you in which your skills are valued. Maybe if you sending your details to the CEO of DNZ, explaining the treatment you received might lead to a contact for a better job. Working in such a toxic environment would ...
James Shaw has so many qualities that Garner, Gower, Hosking, Soper lack. The latter group act like overgrown, petulant children, still the centre of their own universe, who blurt out before they think. An alien coming down to earth would be justified in ...
National Party don't want to hear the truth. It is not in their interests to foster compassion.
TVNZ has many very capable women such as Kim Hill, Mihi Forbes. Mike Hosking is not even in their league. Who is pushing the self-opiniated, biased shock jock type of host? We don't need the host to impose their "personality" on proceedings. We want fair ...
Another perspective on the Graham/Clendon story comes from newsroom. Green Party general manager Sarah Helm said both Clendon and Graham had been asked to consider not standing at this year’s election, and ended up with a list ranking “neither of them were...

I notice that the wisegroup website, about us page show pictures of people but with no names, qualifications, or any relevant information whatsoever. Odd. https://www.wisegroup.co.nz/about
Who needs Slater when you can have Hooton and Hoskings?
Labour- let"s do a Phoenix, add drug reform, lose the fiscal responsibility straitjacket- no point in running a surplus with a surplus of problems like homelessness, mental health, hospitals, education,
Stand your ground, Andrew. It's time to show Gower, Mike Williams your real strength. Tell Gower to do his job and stop trying to influence elections and to do his job properly.
This is MMP.
We have suffered in the last 2 elections from dirty tricks in which the media were (only sometimes) an unwitting part. We can't afford to have this election hijacked by the media. Listen up, Paddy Gower, Corin Dann, etc. This election is not about all ...

We will need ALL of our energy focused on changing the government. We will gain NOTHING by undermining potential coalition partners. In fact the more we slag them off, the more disorganized the left will appear. It's like the elves fighting the dwarves ...
It's STILL better than the status quo! Let's change the govt , then bring about change in the direction of the ruling parties. The National govt is only pliable with respect to lobbyists of the business and farming variety. While we are about it, let's ...
FFS, let us not panic. and stick to the issues. National have a shocking track record on things that matter- Climate Change Homelessness Affordability of housing Water quality Public transport Child Poverty Ed is correct. Our media need to be taken to task...
Quite frankly it should not be allowable to discuss a poll in the media unless you state the margin of error and the undecided. Corin Dann needs a strong reprimand. Now I see that Tracy Watkins repeats the same in Stuff. It is simply not good enough! https...
Interesting- on the RHS of Colmar Brunton twitter page, it suggests that I might also like (complete with twitter handles: Corin Dann Matthew Hooton NZ National Party David Farrar Jordyn Williams I don't!
Colmar Brunton poll (2/3): Refuse to answer 4%, undecided 16% (+1). https://twitter.com/ColmarBruntonNZ So 20% unaccounted for. Also what is the margin of error?
I see that the document that Jonathan Coleman "tabled" when answering the excellent questioning by Julie Anne Genter is now 9 months overdue. Official Information requests Document containing advice re Sugar Tax from MOH tabled during question time 13.10....
Read Willie Jackson's excellent Orewa speech https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2017/07/29/breaking-willie-jacksons-explosive-orewa-speech-attacking-don-brash/
The election is really highlighting the deep divisions in society. It is quite distressing to consider the lack of mutual respect between different groups of people. (I am certainly as guilty as anyone of heaping abuse on members of the current government...
The news media are more concerned with personality politics- and have yet to do a decent comparison of policies. However, National only released theirs on 27 July. The Metiria incident has used up a lot of oxygen for the last fortnight BUT it has got more ...
Is bnz happy to be associated with Mike Hosking's Metiria's backing liars vitriol? In fact is bnz happy to be associated with Mike Hosking? http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/video/mikes-minute-metirias-backing-liars/
Nobody is condoning cheating by supporting Metiria. However, we are not prepared to condone a social security system that strips away all vestige of humanity in the way in which it is delivered or withheld. Most of us have been fortunate enough to have had...
Richardson worked closely with Minister of Social Welfare Jenny Shipley and proudly announced her fiscal outlay as the 'mother of all budgets' The budget essentially dismantled much of what remained of the welfare state institutions established in the ...
Who actually writes the bile that Hosking reads in his NZH column and video? Why does he say at 2min08 "I hope I'm reading this right" if he wrote it himself? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11895130 And to be picky, the ...
This government HAS TO GO!
