I do my volunteer work in the community not in schools (although I have done some work with schools uncharged when I have had free time). I would never work in a charter school as the philosophy behind them is at odds with my own beliefs that were formed ...
Thanks ianmac. I just want to live in a country where I get to volunteer to help kids just because I want to not because I also "need" to. I am sitting at home today filling out forms and jumping through hoops so that the low decile schools I work with can...
If you are right James then New Zealand will suffer three more years of this. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11924968 because this is the legacy of nine years of National. I work for a University with schools in South ...
Maori Television has the Maori electorates debate on tonight. It has been well worth the watch. Te Tai Tokerau is on at the moment. Marama Davidson earlier on has had the best comment of the evening. Tax is sharing.
Jesus Paddy needs to settle down. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. His National paymasters will not be happy with this. http://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/national/comment-national-guilty-of-biggest-campaign-lie/ar-AAscsnt?li=AAaeXZz&ocid=ientp
3News teaser just said sobering news for labour
FFS. Really over this type of crap in the herald. Can't Soper remember his mate John Key and the cult of personality that surrounded him. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11920809
That is exactly what I can see Carolyn. Right wingers would not understand that though as they have no respect for others and only care about themselves.
Thaks Weka. As someone with a mother that is a "dementia riddled pensioner" and who has lived with mental illness myself can I add don't be prejudicial to people with mental illness to your old people comment. Bob Jones represents everything that is wrong ...
Honest question. I know 8% seems low but what did John Key rate as preferred PM when he was leader of the opposition? I would expect that it would not have been much higher than 8% but I may be wrong.
Or a friendly footrub
????
Fair call.
Wayne, I have run into Andrew Little a few times in various koru lounges around NZ as I travel a lot for my job. He is actually a very affable man. Well spoken, intelligent and the times I have spoken to him he has always been smiling. Could be that ...
So true Muttonbird. Not even if the politics sectionwhere Destiny Church gets a mention
Key Sycophant Jones has been writing National Party Puff piece press releases all week for Parmar and Key. If he is not on the National Party payroll already he should be and if he is on it is he deserves a bonus.
As outrage builds about the case of Losi Filipo, Key said he would "hate to think" that rugby players were treated any differently by the justice system. HAHA good one John. "I'd be very surprised if [the judge] has taken into consideration solely that he ...
Beautiful song Takere, man that brought back some memories.
Whenever I go to a petrol station the attendent makes me come in and pay first even though often a white guy will pull up at the next pump and give a little wave and have his pump turned on. I then go inside and explain I want a fill and am asked for a ...
"Sigh…its called common courtesy to communicate in a language that both parties understand." My god how many times has that old chestnut been dragged out by English speakers too arrogant to learn another language? "people like you to scream “see its racism...
It is not rude or arrogant to speak an official langauge of this country. What is rude and arrogant is racists like you trying to deny someones rights to do that. As I said would a deaf person speaking in sign been treated the same way
It has everything to do with racism. He was speaking an official language of New Zealand as he is legally entitled to do and was threatened with arrest for that. The fact you can' t see that as a problem highlights Takeres point regarding the institutional...
New Zealand has three official languages, English, Maori and NZ sign. How is it rude and arrogant to speak one of these official langauges? Would it be rude an arrogant for a deaf person to speak in New Zealand Sign language? Or does it only apply to Maori...
Still not convinced. Cook wrote the name Te Wai Pounamu to refer to the South Island on Maps in 1776 but can't find any reference to it being called Tovypounamu anywhere
Were you thinking of Te Waipounamu? Which is the South Island as Te Ika O Maui is the North Island
Tovypounamu? Are you sure about that. I didn't think the Maori alphabet had a (v) or a (y)
I totally agree that Teina was wrongfully convicted and deserves compensation. My point to richard was that in that Teina was mongrel mob and rewa was highway 61 it further proves that there was no way that he committed the crime. Teina should never have ...
Yes Richardrawshark Malcolm Rewa had Mongreal Mob connections. No it would be highly unlikely that he would have had contact with Rewa through the gang as Rewa was a patched member of Highway 61.
Really? You have never crept up to 54 in a 50 zone or 104 in a 100 zone ever? Never pushed it out to 108 over taking a caravan in a passing lane? Wow, you must be New Zealands safest driver.
Has anyone been given a ticket for being 1km over the speed limit? If they were I think they would be able to challenge that in court as most speedometers are only accurate to 3kms and the police speed cameras also have a similar margin of error. The ...
I thought it might just be a difference of opinion but I now see it was a difference of intelligence but then my parents were not brother and sister so why don't you just Fuck off. The person in Dunedin had his dogs off leash which I don't do on the road ...
