No Chris. Tiger Mountain is generalising in an unclear way as you well know, and he doesn't quite include all employers with that part of his comment. "It is interesting also to see our self employed, small and SME operators, aspirationals, tradies, and ...
Can’t argue with that. A great idea. 😀
All you say is true. But l’ll just add its those that don’t think they have it but do, who are the worry. Let’s hope all those people isolate as recommended. Very difficult to find the perfect answer I agree.
Calm down. The reporter is making the point that the testing criteria doesn’t always do the job. If someone like him has the virus and ends up not being tested and thereby putting the community at risk it shows the testing protocols don’t work in certain ...
Yes it’s just your opinion as I have mine. You don’t explain why you think the Government have got this decision right.
As you will know it can’t be enforced in every case. I hope for our sakes it is enforced but can’t be. I personally know of returned friends that have isolated but only by chance. I won’t describe their complete circumstances but will say only that they ...
No I don’t think the test is infallible’ I think it’s a big red light for those who might get a positive to be on super alert with their isolation. Those not displaying symptoms but positive might be tempted to push the isolation boundaries to the ...
.... It’s my point of view and I can’t see...
Andre I accept the importance of community testing but surely stopping them coming in is paramount. On the AM show this morning there was talk of a private company in NZ capable of supplying test kits and has been trying to get the Government to take some ...
Because of the lower numbers now entering the country why are they not all being tested. Are we ( the Government) that dim.
Great to see private individuals using their initiative Weka. Why are they having to do this when the Government is informing us of their huge reserves of PPE equipment. That apparently front line medical workers at medical centres etc aren’t supplied with...
... irrelevant accusations Ad. No one new what this thing was then...
There’s nothing new about what I’ve said. ...
Of course you are exactly right S but most on this forum would prefer to blame National or talk about what National did three years ago. JA won’t keep her Ministers in line especially NZF and we know why. Is it weak leadership yes.
Fuck I was going to put the boot into Millsy for his bullshit unsubstantiated dribble but you have answered so eloquently that I have calmed down. Well said PR
I sympathise with you RG. I’m sure not the ally you would want. but those on this forum tend to treat it as their club and are very left and very green. The problem is in this case it’s not real. Only some of the population are going to compost and come up...
I’ve given you my take on the situation. You tell me why you think National are doing so well in the polls. [Fixed typo in e-mail address]
Well Incognito, you may be right about those Nats leaving weakening the team or you could be wrong but 46% of voters are prepared to stick by or join National. You tell me why that is. To me Labour bought the last election last time by mouthing a long list...
The last election was all about the leader Cinny. In the mean time the voting public are realising that the leader is a front person and nothing more. Bridges is who he is and doesn’t come across well but the Nats are realising that their team is still ...
I’m always amused with statements like you have written here CT. Back it up with some sort of facts or be accepted as the bigot you seem to be. The fact that you feel you know how I think or any one else for that matter shows you to be acting like the ...
No , they tried to deal with two major earthquakes and an international financial crash. Just idy biddy stuff. Stuff that this Government hasn’t faced yet. I don’t expect to change your mind Cinny, but don’t dismiss Nationals roading agenda. The fact is ...
It was promised at the last election from National. It was this FW coalition that stopped it. Now they are having another look but the economy is faultering with international influence and this Governments easy financial ride is coming to an end. You ...
Grow up Cinny If you think NZ can survive without 21st century transport corridors you’re naive indeed. You may not need a good road where you live but if you live in Northland you might think differently. The fact that it’s had such poor roading Is a big ...
He talks about roads because Northlands economy depends on it. The Maori population there would benefit from it big time. It should have already been started but wasn’t a priority for some reason. Tourism and business can’t function without it. You don’t ...
What resources are we talking about Pat. ?
Pat, the resource we do have at the moment is enough money to initiate SOME good policy. Do we have the politicians in this Coalition that are capable of initiating it. Good ideas and promises to achieve is one thing. Actually delivering, it seems, is one ...
The article is philosophical when it doesn’t need to be. It wasn’t hard to write a long list of social reforms that this country badly needs. It was inevitable that the introduction of a young intelligent female who speaks well and tells us how our lives ...
... refreshing to get an honest view of what’s happening rather...
Well “In Vino” What ever that is supposed to mean. If you took the time read my original comment you would see I stated I was in my sixties. Not that old these days In Vino ( what ever that means ). I thought that my comment actually contributed some ...
Absolutely is shit to have to pay subs all over the place. I for one won’t be buying the spark cricket even though I like watching it occasionally. It was your opinion of rural internet coverage that was a wide sweeping generalisation in my opinion. From ...
Adrian don’t talk shit. You generalise without the facts. I live in the country without cable broadband. I’m served by wireless Vodafone through farmside. It’s not fast. 8- 11 MB’s. The reception through the Spark app although not perfect is perfectly ...
