RedLogix Funny how one mild little seasonally driven recession about 7 – 8 years ago has managed to drive us into $88b worth of debt. Last time we had a mild little seasonally driven recession treasury were not predicting structural deficits and at least a...
There is not a spare room in Palmy North this weekend, so I am not attending. Does the LP money paid to the party by minimum wage workers get used to pay for airfares so that highly paid politicians don't need to spend their own money attending??
Did you notice I was going back 6 decades when I noted that Labour haven't produced a sustainable economy in over 60 years. wakey wakey Tracey.
Excuse me... I don't understand how tax works. OMG.... next you'll be telling me high interest rates and high inflation hurt investors and speculators and are great for low wage workers. But back to this tax thing.... I've been paying it for over 45 years....
Dialey That's excellent use of talking points. Some really good fighting the man buzz words all in one comment. But, just out of interest, do you think high interest rates and high inflation undermining the spending power of low earners and giving great ...
You're not very good at this putting words in people mouths thing are you.
One more question dv, Do you blame the government for not doing something sensible or the opposition for opposing it?
But he didn't do that did he. Good idea, pity his ideology wouldn't let him cut taxes because he could find a way to do it without people earning more than a beneficiary getting some benefit from their own hard work.
Go back and re-read history books ... Firstly, I don't think the last 60 years is history book material and secondly we can clear this up pretty easily. Can you name the last Labour PM that wasn't thrown out of government with the country in recession. ...
Yes, put your head in the sand and blame the media. Never, never, never reflect on what 'your team' may be doing wrong because it's all the media and the baby eating Natz that report it wrong because they just don't understand that 1930's policies that ...
This 'paying off debt' meme... You do know that during the 9 years of socialist tyranny the state debt was paid down but private debt went through the roof. Individuals, people... ( remember people - politics is to serve them not them politics) racked up ...
Yes, and stopped the totally unsustainable position where 75% of high school teachers were classified as 'rich pricks' in the tax system because Cullen couldn't understand fiscal drag and was fighting some imaginary class war by keeping everyone poor. ...
Yep, that's right. Still recovering from the recession we were in before the GFC. But Clark didn't need to sell any of her 5-6 houses after running policies which created high interest rates, high inflation and stagnant wages. Low paid workers funded ...
What a fiasco. You guys need to take a long hard look in the mirror and see the ugly side to your ideology. Labour Party policies haven't created a sustainable economy in NZ for over 60 years. Are you guys actually politically aware and thinking or just ...
Macro The two cases are poles apart, that's what you are responding too right ? What Slater did has nothing to do with what Hager did. I've stated it and you are repeating it telling me you shouldn't need to explain it to me too, keep up Macro.
Unauthorised access ? Like stolen emails ?
If the computer was compromised as you say, then it was compromised by incompetence not by the actions of a hacker. This is the thing that was so embarrassing for Labour isn't it. Surely Hager has done Labour a disservice reminding everyone how stupid ...
Defend Hager and also say this, how do you do it !
... all computers is ‘publicly available’ burt. Just a matter of how...
Nicky Hager did literally no hacking. So you’re wrong. So, if WhaleOil gave me the data he found on ( you say he stole from ) an unprotected web site and I published that, I'd have done literally no hacking either. Would you defend my right to make profit...
The only reason he didn’t was because he was warned of the likely legal consequences. As I'm sure Hager was.
... private. I am also intrigued burt. You seem to say that...
WhaleOil has never published any private information from his discovery, would you say he should have published that too?
This is the same Hager that published a book based on hacked emails right? The same guy who's published illegally obtained private communications claiming he did nothing wrong? The same guy is also saying its criminal to access information obtained via ...
Oh Matthew, it's different when Labour do it.
Effective immediately the management of this prison must be replaced by a private company. Heads must roll and ministers responsible for the department running this place should resign. How does an inmate get a weapon into court ? http://www.stuff.co.nz/...
The case could essentially be about whether information seized by the police should have been seized at all, or whether it was covered by journalistic privilege.
Labour fighting back over Devoy’s comments. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/70202394/labour-hits-back-at-dame-susan-devoy-over-claim-its-housing-data-was-halfbaked Just going out for popcorn… back soon.
What did you ask - there isn't a single obvious question in what I responded to. All you did was prove your ignorance about what you are commenting on. Perhaps your question was do I think you're to dim to use a WWF calculator in the IRD site or do I think...
felix Today with 5 kids a family in $120,000/year would get about $114/week. Is $120,000/year low income ?
During the tyranny of the Clark/Cullen regime Cullen was constantly calling for wage rise restraint because he was trying to keep inflation under control. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA0606/S00299.htm http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PA0608/S00346/cullen-...
