What is It's NOT a conspiracy? He really DID part the red sea, and the earth really WAS created in seven days?
Corruption is said not to be quantifiable when comparing chalk with chalk or cheese with cheese. In other words, extent, scale, magnitude is said not to be a legitimate comparative when comparing one party to another, or even when comparing one ...
I am wondering if some of the often annoying Wellington wind could be described as something like a Southerly Buster or Backdoor Front for those wind conditions forming in or around the central Wellington area, say around St Paul Square and thereabouts. ...
Amen to that. This matter, once again, highlighting that a sensitive sounding, well dressed type guy can be a monster in sheep's clothing. The un-kempt types often unjustifiably being looked at with suspicion, when these other types are creating more ...
Because surely he would have to have been nuts to try it on, knowing how closely watched New Zealand police staff now are, internally by those those further up the chain of command, and externally by the media. This, resultant of a rather disappointing ...
Perhaps compare a similar poll (Stuff) taken in November 2016 (around 9 to 10 months prior to the 2017 election) if one exists, and try to determine just how the 2016 poll equated to the results on the evening of the 2017 election, then extrapolate if you ...
I know, but as a nation, we are do need to seriously reconsider fire fighting capability and resources at this juncture, as well as further funding and resources. But just the same, I do understand the point that you make with regard to residency criteria,...
I don't wish to put something that could be off the mark in relation to RNZ National, but I sometimes do seriously wonder whether or not some persistent pressure is being brought to bear on RNZ National, and directly from various Wellington political ...
On a completely different matter, but perhaps generally relevant the to last weeks events in relation to temperatures and fire containment. This, from a petition website recently; (Edited excerpt); "...Steve Webster he is a member of the Nelson and Stoke ...
Accusations, leaks and quantum: Personally, from a leaks and accusations standpoint, those emanating from within state sector in relation to the role and conduct of those within the central government system leak should each be reviewed on overall merit ...
He may have figured that a win or place bet on the New Zealand First (NZF) horse would have been very much an outside bet, but combined with the influence that NZF would have had over other horses in the race if one or other of the other two came in neck ...
Did his statement go something like; drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, would all go to hell unless they repent? My understanding from engaging from time to time with many of a similar set is that these primary "sins" ...
Simon Bridges now appears to have caught the; "Legend in his own mind" disease. What a let down. He once, sort of, appeared to be balanced and realistic. BTW: On the New Zealand First fiasco. For what it's worth, and could somebody assist me with this by ...
However, Weka, it would be sad to consider that a politician (as party leader) is voted for or well liked, mainly because she doesn't present as a sociopath, especially in a place like NZ. But you do make a valid point, being (as I suggest) that so many NZ...
Yes indeed. It would probably be inappropriate for me to suggest that they have all been in to it, boots and all, but what you suggest is a definite historic pattern of funding "jiggledy dee", by many. With regard to identifying vehicles (as entities) used...
Yes there is. A monster might jump out carrying the banner of undesired transparency!
Agreed dukeofurl. Trust deed document is helpful, but there are many things that can be misinterpreted with regard to same, and many loopholes.
Fairer yes, in relative terms, based on what dog was on offer at that time. But not the be all to end all. Perhaps we have become more cynical and aware, in a very healthy way, but how complacent are we now in relation to new dog tricks that take advantage...
Not the culprit. But well worth considering as a contributing factor to some of the revised cronyism we are faced with, and often increasingly farcical stunts. Pre-1986, squeaky clean? Not on your Nelly. These days, it's less about hiding funds as simply ...
I am not damning him dukeofurl. He appears to have been well liked by many. I admit that I am remiss in not determining just when he left the New Zealand Police, and I do hope that his retirement package was adequate and sufficient to cover his other, ...
Perhaps the document released by/accessed through the electoral commission is a fraudulent document, but who knows? Would the notable Mrs Witehira have been so brazen and confident as to have lied about loan documents in any forum that she considered to be...
Actually. That's a thought Gabby, and no offence taken, that's for sure. I recall an old movie with a dystopian theme close to it; "Soylent Green". Set in to the futuristic era of severe food shortages, the state is maintaining that it is producing food ...
Just by the way, and more for the interest of "muttonbird", who seems to have been a bit quiet since late August: Police Inspector Hurimoana Dennis (described by some as; "The Menace") is back in the news again. Apparently the IPCA appear to be a little ...
How about plant trees, and hope for the best? Maybe reduce farming to an idealized manageable and sustainable level which wont harm or hurt anyone or anything. Do we need fresh milk and meat when we can import meat produce and dairy produce too (including ...
Correction. I meant to post; Barnaby Joyce, (not "Barnaby Jones").
I understand One Two, what appears to be your cynicism and criticism. But I suspect that it's not as simple as; "euthanasia good" for most people involved in the debate, or worse, faced with a very serious and sad personal decision of their own that they ...
Actually Brigid, I couldn't agree with you more with regard to Russia phobia and the suggestion of manipulation in relation to interpretation pertaining to constitutional matters. But global dynamics will always significantly influence interpretation of a ...
But where would we be without it AB? Money, that is. Actually, money is one of the best indicators in relation to people's position, disposition, behavior, perception and so many other things. It really seems to be a reflection of general human behavior in...
This global warming matter, and responses to it. The solution could be as simple as a few mandatory forms filed online, and a direct debit authority. We entrust our political leaders and government generally to find solutions to daunting problems when ...
