Agree entirely on this KJT....did you hear Mike Lee on Nine to Noon today at 9.10?
You sound like one of the people who say to me in Wanaka, "ah but my house is only worth $3 million if I sell it". BTW I worked as a qualified accountant for over 10 years.
"over 60% of the public understand...a CGT". Yeah right.
Idiot Savant has it right today. https://norightturn.blogspot.com/2024/03/no-credibility.html Corin Dann destroyed Hipkins with his first question on Morning Report this week. (paraphrasing from memory here) "You rejected changes to the tax system 8 months...
Thanks Macro
I didn't read Damian Grant's article Kay because I knew that he would say that. It is all rubbish of course. Robertson did a fantastic job, keeping NZ's government net liabilities well below the OECD average despite the Covid crisis and the Cost of Living ...
Yeah thats right....in Akl they would just trash the dolphins.
Dolphins 1 Rich Pricks 0. Maybe there is a god?
Bidens latest stance on Ev's though far from perfect will cut 7 billion tons of carbon emissions according to an article on Politico today. (Trump has said EV's can "burn in hell"). That is the kind of incremental ism we need. (Sorry I can't link cos on ...
Maybe the US should have cut off military aid to Israel-that would have achieved a ceasefire immediately. This is all bluster.
Great post Weka. I think all we can do is to keep ramming home the message again and again and again until enough people realise that much more has to be done urgently to combat climate change. Maybe put this post up every month with varied commentary? ...
I'm with you there Jeremy....I will be helping the people of Tarras (I know some of them) if the fast-track starts. While direct action is unlikely (IMHO) to influence somebody like Simeon Brown (who doesn't give a toss about climate change), turning ...
NZ GDP rose 0.6% for the year ending December 2023. This is far from the end of the world. Switzerland, Canada, Norway, Italy Austria and the Netherlands were all predicted to have growth of less than 1% in 2023 and the OECD was only predicted to grow 1.4...
The Happiness survey was taken between the years 2021-2023 when NZ was happily continuing as usual under lockdown while the rest of the world (apart from WA) was being disrupted by masses of covid cases and millions of covid related deaths. How did we end ...
Surely they wouldn't be that cynical? (sarc)
John Major, who idiotically privatised British Rail, splitting it into numerous uncoordinated and self-interested private companies, has much to answer for.
Tarras International Airport in Central Otago may well be applied for any day now under the new fast track legislation. Simian will doubtless wave it through and there will be nothing the fine folk of Godzone will be able to do to stop it. https://www.rnz....
Shame...he was priceless on RadioNZ.
Well said indeed Res.
What this tells me is that if Labour dump Hipkins (he is forever tainted by the bad election loss) and put in a new leader, the Left can win in 2026.
True tc, especially their sell-off of state houses to finance tax cuts...watch this space.
Can you give me the exact make up of what that $100 billion was spent on please? In reality it is a number plucked from the air by Luxon to berate Labour with, when in fact, despite the Covid Crash and despite the Ukraine war induced cost of living/...
I think Peters has finally lost his touch.
yep..."Drawn Out"
I don't accept that argument at all Alwyn. You are again parroting Luxon, Seymour and (to his shame) Peters. Recovering from Covid required some serious government intervention. We are already in a GDP per capita recession despite all of that government ...
I'm reading Tom Scott's autobiography at the moment. Looking forward to the parts where he meets Muldoon.
That is not what the graphs show that I posted above Alwyn. You are just perpetuating the lies of your masters. All 3 years of that Labour-only government was affected by Covid or Covid recovery.
Of course not....that seems to be the job of the Standardistas.
What gets up my nose about Luxon and his coalition followers is their lies about the NZ economy. For instance, in the second quarter of 2020, due to Covid, NZ's GDP fell a massive 12.2%, "by far the highest on record." https://www.stats.govt.nz/news/covid-...
+100 AB...that is the Israeli objective......talk about cynical.
I live 50 minutes drive from Cardrona ski-field and have skied there many times. It is the hypocrisy that gets to me.
