It is OK but frankly it isn't worth the money. I was only there because we were entertaining Aucklanders on each occasion who wanted to see the place. It is run by Logan Brown but the food isn't as good as at their main restaurant. The service is good ...
I've actually eaten there four times this year. I've never seen an MP there. At least not one I recognized. Everyone there appeared to be, like me, a member of the public. You have to book and give the names of all the visitors but anyone can go there
Nothing to see here. We can safely ignore the bit where the then head of the marae and now MP says "Kemp wrote: “Awesome ... we want to collect data from the forms. Name, address, contact number, ethnicity can we get the 109 names onto a spreadsheet please...
What is NZS?
He is actually claiming that 20% of the population are Maori. He doesn't believe your quoted figure of 5.9%. God knows, but isn't telling, where the man gets his numbers from.
I find Waititi's views on how his Maori Nation is going to work a little hard to follow. He claims "I am 20 per cent of this country. I expect nothing less than 20 per cent of the total Budget in this country. That’s what I expect in a kāwanatanga [...
The Supreme Court were pretty clear on what a State can do vs what only Congress is allowed to do. '"We conclude that states may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office," the court's opinion says. "But states have no power under the ...
Even half a peanut can have an enormous effect. Anaphylaxis is not a pretty sight.
""people EXPECT that the right wing parties And how do you come to this conclusion? I imagine that your evidence is something like "All my friends agree with me. Personally I would favour the view, from the evidence of our last Government, that all left ...
Those were the days. We had a TV assembly plant in Waihi. Our own TVs built in New Zealand. What could be better? Well in 1975 a 26 inch TV cost about $840. Converting that with the RBNZ inflation calculator gives us a figure of about $9,900 today. It was ...
Only for left wing parties MPs.
Why on earth would they? I used to know one-time PM Jack Marshall. He was a member of a Government which went to the polls after 2 years, not 3, over the waterfront issue in 1951. He said, when asked, that the only effect in the long term was that they ...
They should have listened to Hipkins. He hung on the just about the last legal moment before recognising that his Government was dead and smelling rather a lot. Still, he got all his losing MPs a pay packet for as long as he could. Too bad for New Zealand ...
You may like to check the timeline of the scandal before you get all unhappy with the Conservative Party. The product was installed in 1999 and the prosecutions started almost immediately and ran until 2015. There was a Labour Government there from 1997 ...
Now that the requirement that the Cabinet Minister's are required to step up when the Waitangi Tribunal tell them to I would like to know if it is going to work the other way. There is a law relating to the necessary conditions for claiming customary ...
You appear to disapprove of people who don't provide any satisfactory statistical evidence for their claims when you say. "Since those statistically validated numbers haven't been presented by the dimwits who are in favour of the repeal of section 7AA, I'd...
It would be pretty easy to do I would think. If they wanted to I imagine the Government could even get the Labour Party pleading for it's removal. The term of all the judges is, if I have read it correctly, three years. Just let all the current members' ...
I might have believed you if you had claimed "Labour are planning to turn on the largest Solar Storm on Record" Labour actually doing it? Who are you trying to kid? They never in actually succeeding with anything significant.
Short term smoothing of supply from wind and solar was not what Lake Onslow was intended to perform. It is supposedly going to supply water to a new hydro station in the event that we have a very long drought and there are low flows for years in the hydro ...
Lake Onslow is a totally crazy idea. Pumped hydro is a way of using using up, and storing, the electrical energy that you have no immediate use for but which you don't really have the option of not generating. It is a great way to store the power from a ...
"But it's very difficult to find Greenies prepared to agree….." Give them the choice. Nuclear or Gas. After all that is the choice we made, in favour of gas, back in about 1970. New Zealand was in the process of getting ready to put in a nuclear power ...
I suggest that you read this. " Try and keep the temperature between 18 and 21 degrees especially if you have babies, people with illnesses, or older people living in your home." Ten degrees is a dangerously low temperature. https://www.msd.govt.nz/about-...
I have just been reading a report produced by The Global Warming Policy Foundation on "Net Zero for New Zealand" You can read it here. https://www.thegwpf.org/content/uploads/2022/07/Kelly-NZ-Net-Zero.pdf It is an examination of what would actually be ...
Simeon Brown certainly doesn't seem to be in favour of the pumped hydro, Lake Onslow, scheme. Neither is anyone else that I know. However I am not aware of him having commented on any proposal for backing up short term gaps with batteries. Do you have a ...
If we have another couple of terms of a Labour Government, particularly if the Green Party were involved we would certainly qualify. With the collapse of our electricity system the whole country would be in the dark whenever the wind stopped blowing. ...
I wouldn't know how many days it would take. Chippie claims that he makes his kids lunches every day though. Isn't it amazing that he does such a thing? Frankly I think his story is b**s intended to make him look like a man of the people.
As Traveller has pointed out, it was Hipkins who mentioned the children. It was also Hipkin's claim I was talking about, not his children activities.
""As someone who makes kids' lunchboxes every day, I wouldn't be able to fill my kids' lunchboxes with good quality healthy food for $3 a day," Labour leader Chris Hipkins said. ". Really? Who actually believes that Hipkins carries out this activity every ...
I suggest that you read that article again. You clearly didn't read it very cardfully the first time. There were two people who are mentioned in the article. The first was the florist. That happened recently. She is Laura Newcombe. The second was about ...
Are you always like this?
"Nothing like working hard for something for over a decade and someone moves in and trashes both your years of work and then lies about what you did. ". That isn't a very nice thing to say about Genter, even if she has led to the wrecking of both those ...
