What a Charade this "Values" laden government is!! What they say, and what they do are two different planets. Unity and Values Tui Tui .. Forked tongues!!!
100% Now Robert... Pest Control?
The voices critical of Grant Robertson were those of the right at home and when Luxon went to Britain. The rest of us knew he truly cared, and many of the projected protections were for the ordinary person. The deposit protection scheme, the social house ...
The great "Kumera of the North" Shane Jones says "we should not be afraid of discussing the Treaty Principles". in his speech at Ratana. It is not discussion we are afraid of, it is "Bad Actors" who come with an agenda to undermine belittle and divide, to ...
Robert 100%
Agree Anne
Robert, "droll" comes to mind regarding the letter. They are asking for mockery with this plea surely? It shows they know they are not getting accolades.
Yes thank you Incognito. More evidence of perfidy on every level. On their way to "smaller government and greater corporations."
David, They have abolished "Smoke Free" I did not see that in their lists before the negotiations. Many thought they would consider the impacts.... but they have not. The treasury report on removing the EV rebate showed it would cost twice as much to ...
Makes sense Muttonbird.
Who is behind that?
Yes Robert, Nick Rockel also called Shane Jones the "Great Kumera of the North" I laughed at both ... Kumera and the movies Always an enjoyable read and often right on point with his descriptors and metaphors.
Rightwing swing is a reality. Trumpism and the internet have swayed many. To grow their patch they have to have a group to "other" and make the distraction and excuse. Many of these right wing people have infiltrated all aspects of governance, with the ...
Thanks Micky. We are in a fight for what is right. Anyone who repeats the mantra "everyone should be treated the same" as Seymore does, is denying equity and is implying "someone is getting more". Seymore grasps the power of the Treaty and the Tribunal, so...
Yes Robert has stated that very clearly.
My take as well Anne.
100%
I wish you had called this a less binary name Micky. The ten thousand who physically went to answer the call represent many more who are alarmed by the attitudes shown in the documents leaked, and by Seymore's weasel words and wants. The question is, do we...
Pat, on reflection, after reading over the whole thing plus DMKs contribution...Wow your passive aggression is showing. 'Mindless railing', and now "grand assumption.' Just wow. You are very critical but you do not offer any solutions, just passive ...
Right on Mac 1. Too true!!
Yes Barfly. PR Policing.
Pat First thanks for your full reply. Your last point. "To build Policies wanted by the majority." That is not what the majority voted in, as Policy building was not very evident. It was tax cuts which are not viable in this economic climate, plus promises...
Yes the "game" can aim at fairer rules for those with less. Doing away with the checks and balances and saying "they're all the same and nothing can be done" is rubbish defeatist and negates strategies to rebalance. It rubbishes voting. The fact you are in...
Pat, you may be in the "lucky" cohort who are not impacted by the changes. Your idea of "marginal" is quite strange and unsupported by the facts. I do hope your area is not impacted by climate change, as the money for that eventuality is being redirected ...
No Pat, it is the threat to the Public Service jobs, the removal of protections, and this Governments 100 day plan, which was cobbled together for the three unlikely coalition partners who care less about ordinary folk. Health has again become the preserve...
100% agree. We have no understanding of the pressures brought by her previous life, and the new hostilities may have tipped her over the edge. Theft is theft, though any reason for drawing this out may have other political dimensions. imo. The links to DP...
A lovely couple. So pleased for them.
I had a thought, ....... Could video of someone in a shop be altered by AI? IMO this would be considered "good use of the donor money" Is anyone involved in this, big in AI does anyone know?
That is why Act got started here imo.
So in my opinion he became a target, as did all the successful ministers of the left. "The Nact Act double act" run a 5th column to search out weaknesses in the opposing parties. They found and pressured those weak points. The mote in their own eye gets ...
That is part of Rawiri Waititi East Coast Kaupapa with horses, and war history, so why are you bringing that into the conversation? As for "silly" it is silly to assume Maori ancestry equals Maori values, so numbers become just that unless the community ...
