Hi Mickey first I apologise for my job with your idol comment and well done with having two jobs , I have three in order to survive on minimum wage. " so lacking in any sort of nuance " That implies subulty and that was not my intention with the remarks ...
Thank you Descendant of Smith. I hope we will see the money allocated for mental health delivered and up to now the has been very little in the way of funding since the announcement and yes you make a good point regarding the aged care sector and the ...
Hi Scotty thanks for your question. Unlike your name mine is spelt with one T. As for Ryall and Coleman yes I would have commented particularly in Colemans case and as for Ryall I don't remember contributing during his time as minister.
Thank you Patricia for your questions. 1 used to contribute on this site in 2016 from memory before Key resigned and under a different name yes and I also contributed to The Daily blog. 2 In regard to Scotty I did intend to reply but a the loss of a ...
"Not a peep until now. Your gripe is a personal one as well " Are you one of the "PM is jaunting crowd? All ok if she was he in a suit? First I have commented many times on this site about the ongoing inaction regarding the failure of Labour to deliver for...
" "A turd is still a turd no matter what paper it is wrapped in." I think that aptly describes your contributions. Oh Anne I'm sorry you took that line. I have often commented and been critical if I think its warranted regarding not just Labour but ...
I’m inclined to think that if the National Party do get their way and she is voted out at the next election then we will be the laughing stock of the World! No the world couldn't care less and she will be forgotten as soon as the next PM is sworn in. They ...
" Ardern's big weakness however is that she relies on a rules-based world order to deliver security, Yes that pretty much sums up the current junket and domestic failings.
" It's the only developed-country government in the world actively reaggregating the state and its services away from devolution and corporatisation and back into strong centralisation. Well that's a joke its called pretend counter capitalism. "What you ...
Its all ok Mickey you have done all you need to do to secure a job with your idol. " It is strange that in Ardern we have a leader who has greater international gravias and has achieved more internationally for us as a country than any other country. Yes ...
" And Radio New Zealand should have a deep think about things. Because its description of Ardern’s approach to negotiations as scattering stardust is the sort of misogynistic crap I expect from Mike Hosking and his ilk, not a State broadcaster. Where have ...
Mickey Savage finally great work. Such is the repression and propaganda of the corporate media I would doubt very few kiwis would even know this man exists. The NZLP is an exact replica of its british cousin and so many other corporate Social Democrats the...
" What I find unforgivable is his (subsequently proven false) public claim that a parliamentary staffer had committed rape, followed by a settlement (where we, the NZ public, had to foot the bill), only for him to use parliamentary privilege last year to ...
" Next Tuesday should be an interesting day in Parliament " Ye the regular circus performers will give another outstanding performance except very few will actually watch or be remotely interested in the farce that is the New Zealand parliament. Except ...
" No doubt, you believe that Ardern should call a snap election right now – because all those Labour voters from 2020 will be out in droves in the middle of winter to vote for her " No when you decide to go to the country you weigh up all possible ...
Newsflash !!! I disagreed about your argument regarding the early election announcement. Helen was never going to go into the general election that year whenever it was held with 52 % support. Incumbent governments always drop some , a little some a lot ...
" She was in with a chance of an absolute majority " In with a chance but not guaranteed !! Exactly she was never going to get a majority in a right wing media , business environment and when people had a chance to focus on the issues the date of the ...
" Have a look at the opinion polls, directly after the snap election was announced " I don't need to I was around at the time and well remember the polling numbers. Its hard to see her keeping those numbers before the early election announcement as her ...
Anne those were the days..lol
" But onshore it's like she's Lange 1986. Yeah and he was up against James Bolger in the winter campaign of 1987 and returned to government on polling day August 15th. Lange although suffering a bout of the flu was as sharp as a shard of glass and funny. ...
If Labour tried to call a snap election this year I suspect they would be hammered by the electorate. Yes once the corporate media run with " paintergates and other distractions designed to erode public credibility. Funny how one of the biggest scandals in...
" NZ voters, traditionally, don't like them; incumbent governments don't do well " Helen just did fine in the winter election of July 27 2002 , she maintained her majority, the first since Muldoon's scnapps election in 1984 after getting a canning in the ...
" They know the longer Luxon is in the media limelight, the more his incompetence and religious fundamentalism will be exposed " Yeah that has been proven to not be a vote loser after all Key's bullshit and dubious claims they still voted for him and the ...
" Blame Jacinda " Jacinda and LINO are to blame for the following Housing Thousands living in destitution Corruption in bureaucracy Child poverty Weak foreign policy by allowing Australia to export all their hardened criminals back here. Weak response to ...
" I hope he is right about the media. I have seen some evidence of this but I am surprised there has not been more push back by them. " " Hopefully the media will start asking Luxon and Willis the real questions " What planet are you on ! The media is ...
" When I understood the need I was totally appalled " At that point you lost the need to be objective.
" Thank you for stating this. Those children who have lost their lives deserve all efforts possible to prevent more slaughter, even if this mean offending the tender sensibilities of adults. How patronising is that comment. How does all possible efforts ...
It wont achieve better gun control measures. 2012 Sandy hook happened and despite the appalling loss of children's lives nothing has changed. Unfortunate truth has no impact on the debate , if it had American children would not be the victims of these ...
" The authorities have had to use DNA samples to identify the kids, basically because they had their heads blown off with an assault rifle " Mickey Savage you did not have to include that graphic , vile description in your post. These children who have ...
