Principles like these ones? This other election address, targeting a different demographic, tells another story. It trumpets Galloway’s record of backing Brexit, opposing Scottish independence and supporting family values. A whole paragraph is dedicated to...
I'm not sure why you think it's an astonishing victory. The Labour candidate was effectively disavowed by his own party - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Rochdale_by-election
I don't have a problem with you buying - just not prepared to fund your escape from a bad bargain.
Very steep, unstable cliffs - landslide risk under with monsoon rains. As well as the standard sea-level rise risk, common to all beach adjacent properties. https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/news/2023/08/piha-and-karekare-geotechnical-update/
Grey Lynn villa on TradeMe for $6,995 per/week. Perhaps the Dotcom Mansion might attract $11K+ per/week! Well outside the experience of most Kiwis.....
It's clear that you find there are lots of potential problems with my proffered solution. Do you have an alternative? Or do we just sit here paralysed by the fear of multi-millionaires with lawyers - and a strong case of NIMBY syndrome. Because - no matter...
And sugar kills the cellulose in the skin..it gives ya wrinkles..eh..? Which is why all those fat people have wrinkly skin? /sarc/ There is such a thing as over-doing your argument. We already know (from tobacco) that health warnings don't affect most ...
Well, those multi-millionaires better be prepared with deep pockets for the next disaster. Because I don't think that either the government or the Council are going to bail them out twice.
Not proposing to buy out the houses at the current valuation. But to relocate them to a new suburb. You get the same land area size you currently have. Yes. People will on paper lose value (no longer will they have the sea view adding an extra 200K to the ...
I have been expecting the insurance companies to become much harder nosed about insurance premiums in a wide range of areas of NZ - effectively making houses in high-risk areas uninsurable (or at least the premiums unaffordable for most people). But it ...
Did you see Nick acknowledge that an elderly woman was assaulted by a trans activist? His quoted words from the link above: So far as I’m aware the only people actually assaulted were Marama Davidson, Green Party co-leader, who was ridden into by a ...
And has he retracted his mis-statement - in his regular and often publishing schedule?
The biggest problem in terms of resilience - is that no one wants to do it if they are disadvantaged. Big picture thinking would have been that Piha, etc. wasn't an environmentally sustainable location for homes. And that, therefore - the sustainable thing...
Just to be clear, you're not objecting to his message (in fact, you probably agree with him in his call for ceasefire in Gaza now) - you just don't think that he should be making it? Which political or religious leaders do you think should be making ...
Just waiting for the said bricks to be hefted through windows of cars by young hooligans... Or taken to smash the windows of parked cars, either for theft or wanton destruction. If you're so concerned about being seen on a pedestrian crossing - take your ...
So what's your solution? Ban the sale of these highly sugared drinks in NZ? Because otherwise, you have no way of knowing that they aren't being given to children... Or ban them for everyone (good luck in getting that one through parliament - given the ...
In a similar case - the targeting of the 'pink church' on the West Coast - all the perpetrators were able to be charged with was intentional damage. That case, was however, significantly worse -since direct threats were spray painted on, and it was an ...
Just not been found yet? Or the media have lost interest and not reported the subsequent arrest?
It appears to me that some on the left (cf Robert's comments on this issue) appear to have a blind spot when it come to conservative (with a small c) voters. Often these people don't have particularly Conservative (with a capital c) voting alignment (e.g. ...
The reaction was to repaint the rainbows; Tamaki will use that somehow??? Yes, indeed. I've heard from multiple people the comment, along the lines of: Council can't repair potholes or deal with gang graffiti [substitute the grievance de jour for the ...
If you mean the Gisborne incident - then, yes, the perpetrators (most of whom were Destiny Church linked) were arrested. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2024/03/three-charged-with-vandalism-after-gisborne-rainbow-crossing-painted-over.html And a...
Given the open threats made by senior Russian politicians - Poland has every justification for feeling unsafe. (Reuters) - A top ally of President Vladimir Putin warned Poland on Thursday that the NATO member state was now considered a "dangerous enemy" by...
It seems highly probable that this is a fake news story https://asiatimes.com/2024/01/water-in-chinese-missiles-tanks-is-a-fake-story/
You clearly didn't bother reading or understand, either. It is not possible to 'strike' unless you are employed. Refusing to bid on a contract (because you don't like the terms or remunderation) is not a strike. I'm not arguing about the rest of your ...
Well, yes. That's the point. There was no need for him to do so. There is no win for Labour in this.
Literally sickening. Those poor kids. I can't imagine how anyone could let this happen - let alone participate in it. Our current legal system does nothing to punish the perpetrators (if they all remain silent then there will be no prosecution). But much ...
But then re-elected him again in 1951.... I think that his electoral defeat in 1946 has much more to do with the war-weariness and association of Churchill with that stressful period; rather than objection to his policies per-se.
I don't know whether you're unfamiliar with the idiom - or are attempting to be amusing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkeys_voting_for_Christmas
I find that your last point is the one holding most sway with people. They're perfectly happy to consider 4 years terms, so long as 'their' party (or at least a government they can live with) is in power. But when the roles are reversed, 3 years is too ...
Your confidence rating, however, must be taking a downwards tick. Since he's been proved comprehensively wrong on this occasion.
I fail to see how I am a "conspiracy nutbar" The only conspiracy here is that the GCSB was very clearly not transparent and open (either with Little or with any previous Minister). Whether that is because its directors were also not informed of what was ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
