Be honest Viper, what Labour is doing is attempting to seize on an opportunity to improve their results in the opinion polls. While you may feel Big Bruv's question is a distraction it seems quite valid considering Labour had 9 years of NZ's greatest ...
How long do you think it'll be before we all have gps and are tracked point to point and if we go over the limit there is a fine waiting in our email when we get home? How long before the po have immobilisers they point at cars and the car stops? How easy ...
Bugger +14 meters and I still don't get water front property.
Legalize cannabis. Save a billion dollars in jail costs. Make a millions in taxes. Make more millions in tourism. Win win win.
Does anyone know how the media and public and politicians in Sweden are reacting to all of this?
My local school is implementing national standards but under protest. They have made it clear to the parents that they think the standards are flawed, will not improve outcomes, and should have been trialled first. This is a high decile school in a solidly...
... Rodney and Disneyland please correct me if I'm wrong but while...
I am quite often paid/expected to things which are a waste of time. Does not make them anything other than a waste of time.
While I commend you policy amendments I think your overall plan will not work. It requires the MSM to actually report the amendment which has no chance of being added. And they wont of course. And thus this will be a waste of time.
Absolutely. A question though: Was this on the front page of the Timaru herald? I have not seen it reported elsewhere yet?
Well I guess we will see in a year how it all goes down. :) I hope you are right of course!
Epsom will do what key asks and to fend of the dirty commies. Those same people you think vote for Rodney because he is not a bully did not vote for him last time because they liked him either. If his seat is in danger in epsom it would be of the suerp ...
"This may go down well with some on the right, but probably not with many women." What I find amusing about all this analysis is that they miss this point - stretched even further than the context you have used it in. Does everyone REALLY think that the ...
Shame on you. That is like admitting you screwed a sheep or something....
Or just vindictive and misguided? "- A demented need to punish Labour for various, poorly defined, crimes, just like the msm had been telling you to. As if cutting off your nose to spite your face is a sensible approach to politics." He admits to this in ...
I think you will find that calling your self the opposite of what you are is such a common tactic nowadays as to be a cliche. So no, it will not even scrap the surface of "most inappropriately named entity in the history of stupidity".
uh-huh. You realise that by using the "you" I am not referring to you and me. I don't vote for either.
... in his spare time. To me personally, it does not matter...
This is no more class warfare than expanding WFF to higher income families was class warfare.
This is not government policy; it is a pet policy Peter Dunne has wanted to advance forever. I expect National will support the bill being read in the House, maybe even going to select committee, and will then not back it. Why? Well, where do they make up ...
Dunne says it will apply to all couples, including de facto. According to The NZ Herald: "It's for parents with dependent children up to age 18 and the definition of parents will be exactly the same as that used for Working for Families and other benefits ...
I think you are confusing the concept of "increased". If your "increase" is within the margin of error you don't actually know its an increase at all me old chum. :)
'The swooning over the macho pics of the SAS in Kabul looks kind of stupid now.' And now its time for the grief athletes to show their stuff.
You are right and as I pointed out many times at the time this is the worst case scenario. You get some of the least stimulus/dollar compared to other methods and no real long term benefit. Actually I lied previously. The worst case scenario would be ...
Brown wants to give local communities power to make decisions over things like libraries - this may not be good. I live in a conservative Christian small-business-owning part of Auckland. What's the bet our local reps will try to restrict what the library ...
One can only hope that this is a "step change" to proper journalism. But I am not holding my breath. Can they back date the journalism to call out billy boy on his previous lies also?!
I can't wait to get it. I have been waiting for it to become available for months now. The first was awesome. Heroes.
I think campaigning on sustainable growth would be more likely and very sensible. What company does not at least pay lip service to efficiency? Why would a country not do the same? But of course I assume this was just a sideswipe smear with very little ...
And it will rain for forty days and forty nights.... Rod Oram spoke on this and in particular to the NZ situation. He said that companies were expecting the return of cheap credit as before and it simply has not happened. Also that while the "recession is ...
I believe the word you are looking for is 'corruption'.
"I'm sorry but an abortion at 24 weeks (in the US they're called Partial Birth Abortions for literal rather than emotional reasons) feels wrong." 24 weeks is around the point of viability, so if there is going to be any point at which abortion on demand ...
