This is high praise from Rodney. Here is the Taoist concept of a man of "wu wei" Perfection can only be achieved through inaction. It's much better than running around messing everything up.
Sam. If you & your landlord understood the Residential Tenancies act, or had consulted tenancy services, the problems would have been solved. Did you write your LL a ten day letter to remedy, for example? State housing has huge waiting lists, how efficient...
I'm with Red on this. The present system effectively subsidizes tenants rents. It can also be argued private landlords provide a more efficient service than the state. There is no real loss of revenue for the state, given that any apparent shortfall is ...
Hate to say this, but this would never have happened under Clark. For an opposition to get credibility, they need to exercise discipline, maintain a united front & hold the moral high ground. What Carter has done here, (& other senior Labour MP's) is ...
Who was that dude that tried to order the tide to stop coming in? Maybe he would be interested in this type of initiative.
My favourite Key routine, was when he popped out of the house for five minutes. When he returned Helen beat a hasty retreat. If you saw it, you will know what I'm talking about.
So, are you are calling the people of Wanganui racist? (in a round about way)
Where is the groundswell of outrage over this? I would suggest the silent majority of Kiwis either don't care, or tacitly approve of Brownless response. Maybe Meteria should re-calibrate her questions, as is befitting a party co-leader. With respect, she ...
... Kiwis. [don't laugh, you guys, coge actually went around and asked...
Redlogix, the last time Rail was fully state run, it was losing $1 million per day for NZ. That was an enormous sum in those days. The Labour govt of the day understood that situation was unsustainable. In order for democratic govt to be successful, ...
Problem is Kiwis want to have homes to live in. Mugabe had the right idea, knock half of the buildings down. That will teach those degenerate & greedy Kiwis!

Go the Yanks? Thought you were talking operations afoot in Afghanistan. Go the Yanks absolutely!
Subsidising R&D, as in the euphemistic fast forward fund, is positively 1970's styled Muldoonist politics. The fact is returns on such schemes are utterly unmeasurable. There is a good chance such returns (if they were measurable) over time would be less ...
Eddie, funny how there were buggar all strikes under Labour, when in essence nothing has really has changed. Still got to be careful striking, not great PR when there has been a general re-aligning of the broader electorates politics. Interesting to see ...
Heck, some would say they are lucky to have a job right now. The people who claim to represent them are really representing themselves. Thankfully most Kiwis already understand this.
Funny nothing was said under the former Govt. Is this convenient, or just plain cosy?
Tane, who or what are the rich? By your definition.
Only one of them said, "Where Britain stands, we stand"
So who commissioned the survey, Greenpeace or an NZ electricity supplier? This thread looks like a bit of an own goal. Let's have some factual answers!
Is this another one of those issues that (according to some) is not supposed to be discussed in NZ? Why is that?
So a washed up former Hollywood celebrity is being used by Greenpeace to dictate "Noo Zealand's" govt policy? All the name calling is so last year. I would suggest a fresh approach.
Agree with ieuan. This alarmist approach puts most people off. Like a blue faced preacher warning of the approaching rapture. Dig a bit deeper & you should find the author of this piece is pushing a similar barrow. [I didn't write the New Scientist article...
Ditto the proposed cycleway. It's just an very expensive sideshow. It would just take money out of the economy, for uncertain return. Plus big money to maintain. With very dubious preliminary costings. Whoever came up with with that idea I wonder?
Since when was violent crime a right Steve? The population has tired of excuses.
It's getting late & I normally don't offer genuine advice to Labour party types, but here goes. Obviously changes need to be made. Whatever form those changes are to be, it's better to do them soon rather than wait three years & have them forced on you. ...
Felix I'm just quoting what Justice Williams was reported having said. I'm not an appointed member of the judiciary, are you? Although I suspect some interesting appointments were made over the last nine years.
Justice Williams was unable to find another case of this nature. So Tane's comparison is pure speculation. Let's have some reasoned proof tendered to back this accusation of racism.
Tane, that's a very serious criticism to level at our judiciary. Care to back it up with proof?
I thought Bennett articulated her position well, in that she won't tolerate any opposition nonsense. Lockwood was a breathe of fresh air & Key's concealment jibe was very witty. Was it my new TV, or had Jim Anderton put on a few pounds over the festive ...
The people at Kiwiblog just don't get it. This mongrel mob woman recieves state assistance to which she is rightfully entitled. These substantial & comprehensive benefits are abley provisioned through WINZ & HNZ. Now her sons accomodation & feeding ...
