"We can talk about over-consumption in a small fraction of the world's population all you want". Surely it is unbridled Capitalism that has brought this about. Furthermore Capitalism will not solve the problems of "the massive growth in demand from the ...
Quite so AT @ 8.52 am. Tragic isn't it? Faafoi is wise fucking around doing nothing in the Broadcasting portfolio ..... RNZ is deteriorating rapidly even without his dithering.
We are still tied to the Empire and that is what is wrong with the direction of this Country. The 'loathing' you refer to is aimed at the dominance of "middle of the road" centrist Capitalists who pretend that we are doing something about Climate Change ...
The sooner we part company with Slack Britain (you gotta be joking to call it Great) the better. All the fawning we've done over the mother country all these years gave us what? The Morris Marina , that's about all. Look at what they did in all their ...
More important things to worry about today. I think Labour has lost Auckland and must rapidly change it's clusterfuck of recent announcements, and that overrides everything else today, imo.
Lake Waikare has been polluted since long before 2013. I used to be in the area in the nineties and it was in trouble then. It is a large, shallow peatlands lake, or should I say it was.
It is not my preference that I happen to be a septuagenarian and that I happened to be a teacher at the time !
It is a great idea but I remember the seventies debacle on trying to have a maori teacher of Maori in all secondary schools. What a ballsup. Also what about all the Conservative Private schools? Can you imagine them avidly teaching the errors of ...
Dead right Tricledrown. But it would be more to our credit to rapidly phase out exotic pines from NZ totally. Indigenous forests only - short term pain but long term - total sense.
DF, I am sure the sheeple would not feel that cc is being dealt with if they were properly informed about this issue. Where are the media on this travesty? Absent as usual because the vested interests(their advertisers and owners) prefer to push ...
Yes AB ,there are plenty of right wing nutbars "quadrupling down" out there now because they can't stand having female leaders of both main parties; so they flock to Rimmer.
The way I see it is the only privilege involved is the privilege of being educated enough to realize a couple of jabs will very likely keep you clear of hospitalisation in a situation where the hospitals will not be coping because of overloading. If that ...
I think Shane must be under a certain woman's thumb. This approach by Shane smacks of Judith.
"The only thing worse than that news would be Kim Hill retiring.
Just watch the Right push the meme that Maori are running Labour. They will play the racist card.
It is amazing how many self acclaimed experts have all of tomorrows problems solved and remedied as of yesterday when they didn't even know about the problem in the first place. Anyone who thinks dealing with problems in a pandemic will go like clockwork ...
RNZ struggles to finance proper programming, most likely because of their Board(bored).
Well said AT. Your last sentence ".... you must be either delusional or stupid or maybe both". I think the majority of people tied to this delusion are definitely both, not maybe. There seems to be no way out of this "unfettered free market liberalism" ...
Nice try TV, it would be great if your scenario plays out. I fear that minimal, middle-of-the-road compromises just ain't gonna cut it for dealing with what is about to confront our neolib society on so many fronts. We are in for an unpredictable and ...
Exactly DR. Experience of PPPs shows the big loser is the Public, which is left with the tab whilst the Private walks away with the money after managing to muck it up by overpromising and grossly under delivering.
They only rip us off because they can. Support NZ Banks; only make sure it is NZ owned. I am intrigued to know just what % of NZers know the ownership of their Bank.
Yes rail travel overseas is generally a great experience. Rail is unfortunately a bit of a lost cause in NZ. We built a cheap system (narrow gauge) and we will never be able to upgrade it to a wider one... it's just too expensive to do it (and they knew it...
If you want a train wreck vote NZF
Well PR, I certainly don't want to go back thirty or forty years. National have always been kings of dirty politics and Labour has been as weak as dishwater at being the workers party. Go back 50 years to Kirk and maybe, but National would still be dirty ...
I have a bad feeling about this 3 Waters. It's almost as if Labour is going out of its way to lose the next election. A gravy train of bureaucratic, one size fits all, idealogues relentlessly fucking things up is exactly what we all recoil from and exactly...
This 3 waters is another nail in Labours coffin. Prize ammo for the Right.
If all the rumours about the role of drug suppliers, gang connections etc in spreading covid around the Waikato are true, then surely the police must be getting some "handy" information ?
Wasn't it his stunt double who actually pulled the trigger?
Here we go again. Todays headline on al Jazeera news......Israel to build 1300 new West Bank settler homes. Israeli Housing Minister Zeev Elkin says 'strengthening Jewish presence in the West Bank is essential to 'Zionist vision'.' Why ,Why, Why does the ...
C'mon chris T , to work with Judith you have to shut the fuck up, or be as vile and underhand as Cameron Slater. Take your pick. To work with Seymour you would have to be a true believer in the infallibility of the market place ie a plonker.
In all truth things are going to get rough with or without the problems of covid. Many of the systems we have relied on this century to feed and support our consumerism are collapsing and we still sit here like frogs in a heating pot.
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 ...
