At the last election didn’t Seymour go on a racist jaunt to Queenstown?
They’ve had National MPs since just about forever up there but because Prime hasn’t rebuilt the State Highway through the Mangamukas the shit northern roads are all her fault apparently.
From a sporting point of view, Nat/Act not needing NZF would be the most entertaining.
Really, is Luxon covering himself in glory on RNZ this morning of any significance? Any electoral significance? This late in the piece him obfuscating on RNZ about things like the PREFU, and simply sticking with some meaningless line means what? And too ...
What is that 'culture at the MoE?' And who are those people?
The logical development to see there is a structure which ensures all kids get what it is said they should? Produce lessons for every aspect of every subject for every age group. Have step by step verbatim 'recipes' for teachers to follow/implement. That ...
As above. There would seem to be nine players past 30 years old. If that's too many (out of 33), which from that list would you cull and who would you replace them with?
I'll get your assistance with fixing the first problem you identify - an 'ageing' team. In the squad of 33 there seem to be nine who've gone past 30 years. I'm going to cut them, too old, so who takes their places? A Smith, B Barrett, B Retallick, C Taylor...
Is Grant McCallum enough of a dud to get in? Of course. National's had wall to wall electorate MPs in Northland since the year dot. When National hasn't been in Government they've gone berserk about the poor roads of the region. So after recent years of ...
What's magic about 10,000? Seems a number made up for effect rather than need. Isn't the first requirement to make the electricity grid powered 100% from renewable sources?
Hipkins stumbling and bumbling when asked the question 'What is a woman?' and that being a seminal moment in anyone's life is bizarre. Of course there is no 'right' answer. Maybe before he went out that day Hipkins' advisers should have furnished him a ...
What chance the Freedoms New Zealand Party could attract lots of people to outside Destiny Church doors on the Sundays between now and the election? It seems there's a game being played they like. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/labour-party-election-...
Epsom voters faced with voting for Seymour if Act has dodgy misogynist, racist, conspiracy theorist candidates? No contest, Seymour by miles.
Seymour’s in trouble in Epsom? About as much chance of the Epsom mob changing their recipe as Reefton being declared the capital.
When I die I’m pretty sure it’ll be able to be said I didn’t waste much time and energy worrying, being stressed out or being bemused about a PM failing to identify what a woman is.
This Australian comedy sketch sums it up nicely "Under this proposal we will spend $30 billion a year to protect our trading routes with China ... from China. And that doesn't strike any at this table as odd?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgspkxfkS4k&t=...
Will there need to be a few new backroom jobs coming up in education to implement the Act policy? Every kid young person from the age of two to 18 will have an account. Get to choose your bank? "The ACT Party's education policy also sets out a radical ...
Something to appeal to Donald Trump for whom big numbers are important. The former president has been given the inmate number #P01135809. More fun than the mere '45.'
The poor, poor man. Maybe he should get out of the landlord business and take up something he seems well-suited to - being a whinger and sad bastard.
If Hipkins is turning teaching into a highly structured punitive hyper-regulated nonsense that no-one trusts, then he is giving people what they want. The loud voices are about not trusting teachers, about control and accountability, about killing the ...
Don't worry about Labour's education policy. They've had a couple of years to introduce what they thought was important. Time is up. Think about the National and Act education policies because they'll be the ones in the drivers' seats. Charter schools ...
The problem with vaping has been a clear growing problem over years. Very shortly before the election, after six years in power, it gets the "We're taking this seriously, we're going to do something about it," treatment. It's all about perception.
'He ought to be' bringing Federal assistance in the forms of teams, funding, and planning. Which he undoubtedly is. Not poncing around grandstanding. My comment about not seeming to 'grasp the opportunity' was about Biden not turning it into a sideshow. ...
Maybe Biden was involved in serious stuff, the stuff which many are determinedly making the most important stuff in the US in years - Hunter Biden. Seriously though, the Biden response is not typical. But there are perspectives. “More than 120 hours passed...
Seymour says it because he knows his redneck supporters will be all aboard with it.
I missed Stuart Nash's final fling yesterday. I presume he eye-balled his colleagues one by one and told them why he had done his level best to see them get to sit on the other side of the House.
... empower then likes of Winston Peters and Kirsten...
Murfitt thinks the flurry about her beliefs will be forgotten in 24 hours? Or Murfitt will forget her crazy beliefs in 24 hours? The only sure thing if she gets in is that the House will be growing in true representation of the people. The lunacy through ...
I follow US politics. A marker of the insanity of some aspects of it is Marjorie Taylor Greene. That she can get elected, be supported while being as loopy and limited is of course, astounding. “At least that could never happen here,” regularly comes to ...
Are sugary drinks and foods harmful to kids’ performance in school? Is the National government going to ban them? That is, have schools ensure children don’t have access to them on campus?
Parker retiring during the term? You mean before October?
