I'm trying to list the pro's and cons of asset sales. In particular the sale of Might River Power. Anyone care to give me a few. The cons are far easier to compile. The pros are pretty much make some money to pay down future debt.
Thanks Joe, interesting.
My point is more that our tax rate is hardly high. Especially for the highest earners. A small adjustment across the board and we could address education, poverty, and the retirement age. I think there is a negative attitude towards tax. Which there should...
I'd happily pay 2 percent more tax to keep super at the same age. Surely most would? If you work past the age of 65 you shouldn't be getting super.
I'm not convinced the online petition is a bad thing. If anything it's promoting awareness of the issue. It just needs to be followed up with people on the streets getting people signing.
What's happened to john banks? I had an idea. It wouldn't be that hard to find a really good journalist and pay them through a donation system to go looking for the bigger/more important stories?
I thought whale was some staunch right wing christian. I try my best to ignore him as much as possible so I could be entirely wrong. That is interesting that he thinks marriage is worthless. The guy is just so negative. He must be the most bitter and ...
DC was good one backbencher's. As was Norman (As usual).
Don't know but it's pretty funny/tragic.
It is a wordpress blog but a lot of customization would have gone down and there's a whole heap of content. So I'd imagine simply changing the theme would result in a lot of work.... Anyway, i'd still like to see a change. I think the content is great but ...
Good stuff. I very much enjoy following this site. I would like to see a design update. That would be my only complaint. A more slick presentation would do wonders for credibility. Obviously it'd be a big task and take a long time. Perhaps run a fundraiser...
For the most part Pete provides good debate here and does obviously put a lot of time into knowing his stuff. Where he becomes annoying is the frequency at which he posts. Anyway, I see stuff have an article on how the majority of people still blame Labour...
The less you see of something the less you care. There's a reason AFL is so popular in Victoria, you can't help but know what is going on as it is on tv free to air all of the time.
Is it common practice for the Nats to hire people to spam forums and pages like stuff.co.nz? I'm sure there must have been a bit of this going on during the elections. Maybe even on both sides.
I agree, I used to be a huge rugby fan and go to eden park pretty often. Since sky taking over all rights to the game I hardly know whose doing well and whose not so have zero interest in going to a match.
How does Pete G afford to live? Does he get paid per post?
There's truth in that. But I also have a bit of sympathy for Labour. I feel that unless the media thinks the public care about what Labour thinks they will give them very little press time. So I guess the question becomes how does Labour become more ...
I think next election will still be close. The reason is the nasty streak running through NZ that loves benefit bashing and pushing the other crabs in the barrel down beneath them. Every time National comes out with a policy attacking a minority the ...
He hates the greens it seems.
This is classic. This article is blatantly trolling pete george and then he is the first to bite. Classic. Anyway, entirely agree with article.
I did the one year course to become a media studies teacher last year. I have industry experience in TV, graphic design, and in IT. At the end of last year finishing with good marks I decided I'd stick with the media industry rather than apply for a ...
They have a lot of available land to mine we have a lot of land to farm. Using mining as the one reason Aus is better off is pretty moronic.
Is it possible to restrict Petey to say 5 posts a day? I really enjoy reading this blog and think that a lot of the posts are insightful and interesting but as of late it seems to be a whole bunch of George on every thread. It's mind numbingly boring. One ...
Do you work at all? Not that I'd hold it against you if you were unemployed but then I'd question what you do with your benefit money. I'd hope you don't take it given your stance on such things. I'm just curious because you seem to spend an excessive ...
I like the option of adoption. Although I hear it's expensive.
kindle or kobo?
When they say there will be x number of new jobs do they ever take into account x number of jobs that have disapeared due to companies going under etc? Does it also include people changing jobs. I.e if I left my job and went to a new job would they say ...
Ouch, does deanos post hurt you james 111? It certainly mnakes you look either very stupid or simply ignorant.
I am now almost %100 certain the pete george is actually trying to ruin united futures reputation. Your doing a really good job at it Pete but I think it's somewhat unrequired given that the head Pete has already removed any respect the party had by ...
Just another example of lying and corruption. Or forgetfulness as Banks like to call it. Or incompetence as Pete likes it to be known as.
Can't Banks just be stood down from his ministertial positions and they keep things as status quo?
