Dont know why the media is giving this reactionary thug a platform: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/i-would-have-been-killed-why-farmer-bill-burr-ordered-his-son-to-chop-off-the-tip-of-a-teens-finger/WYZYNJR64VHHPA6Q6BWIWADRCM/ The guy mutilated someone just...
With the way rental properties and their prices are, a long wheelbase Ford Transit with high panels are a major improvement.
In my opinion, the problems with our health system go all the way back 3 decades to the Birch health reforms.
Yep, ACT and National being in government will lead to the greatest ratcheting down of NZ living standards since the 1991 ECA/benefit cut combo. We have seen huge growth in jobs and wages, and NACT will pull out all stops to keep that from happening. ACT ...
Cut the wages of the workers at the local supermarket to own the Maori?
Why vote ACT? Do you hate workers havi g high wages? Do you hate public holidays or welfare benefits? Do you resent people having free healthcare?
And with that, will come the greatest reduction in wages, conditions and general living standards in history. National and ACT belive that wages are too high, and that workers in this country have had it too good for too long. For starters, ACT want to ...
Ok, last day of 2022.
TBH parties are useful, as it provides an indication of what sort of policy outcomes that candidates are after.
Last day of 2023. Doesnt time go fast. Congratulations to Sir Ashley.
As I said before, the White working class is a lost cause. They have moved to the right economically has they have socially. Best for Labour to get the PMC and lumpens on board and try and increase the material conditions of the WWC after that.
Probably why the war seems to be more and more outsourced to the private sector, ie Wagner Group, Chechens, etc.
noted.
OK, I retract the above statement. Sorry about that.
Willie is ex-Alliance. One of the few old school lefties in the cabinet, alongside Wood (whose wife was also involved with that party at the student politics level.
The war in Ukraine is going to devolve into something similar to the Balkans in the 1990's, with both sides trying to out war crime the other.
Sunny will not be happy until we have summary executions for ram raiders. I'm probably going to be banned for saying this, but a lot of these migrants seem to bring over some of their attitudes from their home country, ie no due process, police brutality, ...
I have read the Te Huahua report. It is basically waffle with no concrete policies proposed.
Speaking of Tankies, it always amuses me how they really think that Putin is a communist who wants to bring back the USSR. Essentially this is the equivalent of supporting Franco's Spain and Pinochet's Chile in the 1970's. Putin has trashed the USSR and ...
You too Mary. have a great Xmas -- and that goes for the rest of the posters here, even the admins, who have largely banned me from commenting over the course of 2022. Looking forward to pulling out all the stops in 2023 to make sure that Labour gets a 3rd...
LOL. Vector's network isnt exactly gold plated. Ask any Aucklander when a storm comes.
On Dec 31, 1983, we had the Ministry of Works, DSIR, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Transport, etc. These were all larger than most current government departments, with most functions done in house (if you were to belive Prebble, et al, the Ministry of ...
Hopefully not the last Xmas under a Labour government.
Most of those ministries you listed are policy advise ministries, which at the most, would just take up a single floor in an office block. The Department of Conservation is effectively the non commerical arm of the NZ Forestry Service which was broken up ...
It would have worked better has the housing actually been a good side cheaper than privately built houses at the time, and/or the loans for them were decently subsidised. I think one guy, ex NZ Army engineers, etc, offered to undercut private developers ...
"New Zealand's troops in Vietnam were also entirely volunteers, and New Zealand's involvement betrays a distinct whiff of only being there because we were paying lip-service to Washington." I read somewhere that Holyoake and his cabinet had misgivings ...
That is a whole debate for another day. The key issue is allowing US Evagalical groups to gain control of the learning of countless kids in impoverished areas and exposing them to things like creationism, and heteropatriarchial ideas, such as traditional ...
Fact of the matter is, National and ACT support imposing the US system of health care (user pays and insurance) on this country. This goes back to the early 1990's, when National tries to impose charging on hospital stays, and failing that, turning what ...
Regulation gets them out blocking the roads with their tractors. Paying them not to pollute will ensure that they are placated.

You call them 'vandals', I call them modernisers.
