"Nanaia Mahuta should never have claimed that Maori involvement was a Treaty requirement. And that she had this advice from Crown Law." Even National acknowledges Iwi rights to and interests in water. Of course this is a treaty issue. Explain to me after ...
Eternal vigilence Robert at a local level.
Have you actually read the Treaty or any of the historical analyses of it? And here is something for you to read about Atlas - https://thestandard.org.nz/atlas-smirked/
What do you think about Atlas funding the Taxpayer's Union?
Kia ora. That was written in anger and in fear. This could be a rough time.
I was at Hoani Waititi Marae. The unity behind the treaty was palpable.
Luxon is not a fast learner. He is not even a slow follower ...
Your argument feels like textbook Israeli Government response to any bad news. Deny it and claim something else. There have been huge protests in Israel against what Netanyahu has been doing. There is a very dedicated group of Jews in Aotearoa doing the ...
Semantics. Each year cigarettes will be cheaper than they otherwise would be. There may be a "commitment" to meeting the smoke free goals but as with climate change there will be absolutely no means of meeting the goals.
[H]ow we engage with this fight matters a lot. And we should absolutely be building bridges with as many people who are still open to it as possible. I refuse to believe that most people in NZ want the treaty destroyed or are that racist. I do believe that...
I wish you had called this a less binary name Micky I thought about that. I rewatched an eposide of Succession from series one last night involving the boardroom brawl and the show down between the father and the son and the evil geniuses that created the ...
Rank Group is Graeme Hart's company. For those who don't know he is reputed to be the richest person in Aotearoa.
Que? I said that RUC for EVs was inevitable. But they dont have to do it now. They could delay the implementation. And are you saying that National is just following through with what the last Government was doing? If so why set the level at such a rate ...
This is one of the reasons I cannot understand Israel's behaviour. Having tens of thousands of traumatised kids will ensure a never ending supply of adults wanting to be martyrs.
Thanks Weka. I was thinking of writing something very similar. Right you are to refer to previous posts here about Mr Spring. The kindest thing I could say about him is he is a wanna be Cameron Slater. A couple of comments: 1. Bridget Morten's reported ...
The funding is the issue. Do we want a democratic system which gives such an inbuilt advantage to the right?
Cheers Mike. Also rather depressing ...
Ta I am sort of surprised they are so blatant about it.
Thanks Anne Sometimes posts take a long time to form. This just poured out onto the page. I always knew that the left had problems but I did not think the right was this organised or focussed. The question will be what does the left do.
Hi John what do you think about the clear links to TPU shown by the Atlas Network website? And are you at least intrigued about TPU’s growth in funding?
I disagree. Ad's post is a reflection of current International discourse between nations. It sucks. If what he thinks will happen happens it is a condemnation of the current system and shows that current International law is broken. But it is not a weasel ...
Yep it is not binary. It is not a case of one side bad one side good. And asking us to focus on one series of events that may or may not have happened and totally ignore atrocities on the other side is weird.
I have just read your comments from yesterday and have added in some snips of my own. Have you thought about toning down the personal attacks and arguing first principles instead? You will find this is more effective.
How do you feel about what is happening in Gaza? Serious question.
Pretty deep Ad. I would have to disagree with you about one aspect, I see no upside for Israel here. It has already lost any vestige of morality it once may have had. And the atrocities here are terrible, especially given they have been supported by the US...
I am absolutely certain. The first interim report was due in a couple of days tome. https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2023/0055/latest/LMS842846.html
Chur Patricia. Have one for me!
Thanks not sure what I did there ...
For those interested in playing Whamageddon you can find the rules here.
If we wanted to get to the goals immediately we would do that. In the meantime we would do the incremental things like improve imported cars sustainability and make sure that we could store hydro power when times are good. Your suggestion is not what was ...
NZ First was voted out in 2020.
