It was really odd with no Winston but with no-name United guy. https://youtu.be/hPF0YpNpsr4 Thankfully no Hosking, him being 'sick' was a handy face saving way of kicking him out :) Kinda actually tuned out for the 2nd half :o Felt like Shaw did pretty ...
Not personally affected by Vodafone closing their email servers https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/96631562 but it reminds me of a post a bunch of years back suggesting there should be some kind of Govt supplied email service to avoid this kind of...
No post for TVNZ minor parties debate (with no Winston First & TOP excluded because 'its the rules' but includes United no-name guy)? Has been a really annoying crackle at least on the web feed. Shaw got a nice one suggesting making Epsom electorate RMA ...
Yeah Bill really lost it with the CHCH section. 'We're just ticking over...' 'We've been focused on the Cathedral' that hasn't gotten anywhere in 6yrs Depiction of Key watching these debates http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140628200154/criminal-case-...
Jacinda called Nats out on their 18 new taxes when Bill tried to hit her with his list of 7 :)
I'd love to see Bills '100,000 out of poverty' claim subjected to as much financial/policy detail analysis as Joyces' hole. Show me the $$$ Bill, how you gonna do it Bill? New taxes, profligate Govt spending? Seems like a multi-billion $$$ hole in the Nats...
Bills media trainer has told him to do a bunch of hand waving. Here's a screenshot https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Pinocchio_1940.jpg
For potential coalition partners the open hostility between Fox, Davis & Jones is pretty awful to see. I'm liking Marama actually, haven't had much chance to hear her speak previous to this campaign. Its so hard to understand why they have been propping up...
Meh, airy fairy no detail worked pretty well for Key over the years.
Not that its straight after but that its in the same room with the leaders literally visibly standing there right behind. Thats really friggin' weird. Jacinda easy win to me. But there's no accounting for Rightwing voters **shrug**
Funny how you sometimes see 'Commonwealth' names like Boston better known for their non-UK namesakes show up in News & get confused. Boston UK is only like 40k people. Also UK really has some of the most bizzare place names O_o
On BBC coverage again: Start of the night had loads of cool graphics but not really any results to use for it. End of the night no graphics when it would have been actually interesting, just talking heads X-/
So if there is Brexit can Grexit be looked at again?
BBC coverage... Guest: blah blah Cameron partly to blam... Presenter: yes but lets talk about how this was Labours failure Guest: well it was Camero... Presenter: no but Labour blame Labour, Labour fault Labour I was keen on the EU when it showed signs of ...

I'm no Clinton fan & I don't think I could vote for her any more than I could vote for Key but Snopes has a page on earlier versions most of which are from Bills' tenure. http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/bodycount.asp While some of those ...
An interesting idea. I also wonder how many large family homes are inhabited by only 1 or 2 baby boomers. My father, stepmother & half-sister live in technically 3 bedrooms but with 2 studies & a 2nd lounge that could easily be a large 5th bedroom or core ...
Does BLIP keep the Long List of Lies up on a website somewhere? Not that the Gre/bour campaign should focus on it but it'd be nice to be able to drop a URL from time to time when people deny there is any proof that Key is a lying sack of shit.
I think its notable that he won the Northern states & Killary won the South. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries_results_by_county%2C_2016.svg Though, Obama won I think mainly in the high-density ...
Can someone translate this into English? http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/80858118/labour-blocks-moves-by-david-seymour-to-bring-judiciary-ombudsman-and-auditorgeneral-under-oia
Some NACT MPs/supporters aren't heartless recidivist liars up to their necks in cronyism, corruption & actively working to destroy the last vestiges of social welfare. But that doesn't mean we should ignore the problem with the the rest of them. I don't ...
Bit late so probably nobody will read it but: The thing about Productivity as an economics term at the national level is that its not what most people (& especially the righties like to make us think) it is. Productivity = GDP/hours worked GDP = ...
DNC has a pretty solid dispute policy for .nz cybersquatters. If they can't defend their ownership the domain can be turned over at no cost to someone with a reasonable claim. Props to IDG for doing the good thing :) And DNC for the Conflicted Name Process...
So who is likely to be the recipient: The Taxpayers Union? Probably a good idea for Whale to have one around...
I'm confused: I could have sworn Trotter has previously & repeatedly opposed the idea of a big swing Left as 'unelectable'. Even if he does occasionally bring out The Internationale I've long lumped him in with the Rogernomes/ABCs. Have I misjudged him?
Since I was a kid I've wanted a new flag. The old one is an anachronism & not good looking. But I voted to keep it over that PoS that was the alternative. There are a whole bunch of alternatives that I'd have voted for but not that.
'Key Dirty Politics Agent' is a better description.
That statement probably defames the Klingon empire...
Ethicks & Key in the same sentence? Surely you jest... In the initial presser he is using weasel words that imply he knew full well that it was extremely dodgy to try to have the taxpayer put up the bucks. (video at http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics...
Or he just won't be in parliament next election...
Agree.
