Me, I'm wondering when they are all going to bring in a law that says you can't buy any more than 1 bottle of wine at a time. After all, if you bought three bottles of wine that's potentially enough to give you lethal ethanol poisoning. And don't get me ...
Agreed. So, what exactly is the point of this legislation? Not trolling, just confused.
Much as it sounds good, I fear it's just too easy to circumvent. Better to ban all donations from companies with ownership outside of NZ too. Why hasn't that been enacted?
Oh bollocks. I'm so over people reporting the right wing rubbish that Jacinda Adern should take a hard line on coalition partners. It's a recipe for coalition disharmony, and completely and utterly unneeded. The matter is being dealt with. It's a party ...
So I've been reading Standing Order and searching for more information, and it seems to me that this is very clearly a case of refusing to comply with the Speakers Orders, but I can't for the life of me find out what recourse the Speaker has. Is it just a ...
Au contraire. I won't link to it, but they have officially declared their contempt of the house by posting the ad again and stating they will not remove the ads.
14 minutes until the deadline and the Deborah Russell clip is still on their Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/NZNATS/videos/383563835653316/ I think they're taking the piss.
Darren's done it again. This is brilliant. https://www.facebook.com/darrenwatson.nz/videos/10219389251749733/
Forgive my ignorance if this is not possible. These times are somewhat unprecedented. Is it possible for a Tory member to call a motion of No Confidence in the government and engineer a new election that way? Or is there a law against this?
Yes, as a Wellingtonian, I'm in two minds here. I took a road trip over the weekend - up to Hamilton, via National park, then to Tauranga and back down again via Desert Road. The Cambridge Expressway is great to travel on, as is the Kapiti Expressway. But ...
Hardly. With 329 million, even a tiny percentage of the population doing crazy stuff would still appear statistically significant to outsiders. Despite how mad it appears to us, I feel revolution is still some way off, and would require a near-total ...
Sheesh. WhaleOil has been finished less than a day and the fascists are already finding their way over here.
I may have been reading it wrong, but I'd read the reference to "need a thumping" as talking about getting a hiding in the next election. Having said that, it doesn't read well, so you have a point. There's no room for advocating violence on any political ...
Unless of course some kind of excise tax or licence to grow system is introduced, thereby turning growers without the correct licences (available for only $5000) into criminals. Much potential for disaster here.
Also, the Finite State assessment of Huawei's supposed vulnerabilities is available here: https://finitestate.io/finite-state-supply-chain-assessment/
Perhaps Lucy is referring to Nokia CTO Marcus Weldon's comments about Huawei's telecoms kit. It appears Nokia the company itself are trying to distance themselves from his comments: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48790746
A musical interlude... Tauranga's Dead Simple, with a song called Simon no Bridges. https://soundcloud.com/lara-wilson-4/simon-no-bridges?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=facebook
If I took to the hills to avoid having to do something at work, and was absent for more than three days my workplace could consider me to have abandoned my employment. How is this different?
Christopher Luxon has just resigned. Is it too soon to predict he'll be parachuted in to lead National into the next election?
In my more cynical moments I'm wondering if the Government got wind of a conspiracy to hack Treasury. It wouldn't take much to get "not quite right" documents lined up to be hacked, thereby creating an opportunity for hackers to compromise themselves by ...
I'm in two minds about the meters. I've lived with type I diabetes for half my life (I'm 52) and the meter is part of that. On the one hand, the Korean ones aren't as accurate as the old ones (and definitely not as accurate as the expensive American one I ...
Waiting in anticipation for the report into National Party culture that was promised us once the report on Parliament culture was out. I can't seem to find it anywhere though. Wonder what's taking so long...
Not so sure Smith could handle the drugs the Guild Navigators got through though.
Good point Michelle, With the impending departure of Guyon Espiner from Morning Report, that's a real blow for Te Reo. One hopes the mantle will be taken up by others.
A cynical observation could be that the Police should run a campaign more or less saying the truth... "You run, we'll chase you until we catch you or you die." Wouldn't make any difference but.
I guess I'm not much of a kiwi then, according to National. No surprises I didn't vote for them then.
Bridges says "This would hit every New Zealander with a KiwiSaver, shares, investment property, a small business, a lifestyle block, a bach or even an empty section." Shee-it. I don't even have any of those.
Yep, they are fair frothing at the mouth over on that other site aren't they? Myself, I fail to see why those that make profit tax free from passive vehicles such as investment, believe themselves to be hard-done by when the suggestion is made that they ...
The point people are trying to make, which appears lost on you, is that in operating within a country (of providing a service to members of a country) you are taking advantage of an infrastructure built up over many years through tax and hard work. Failing...
But a better way would be to couch it in terms of revenue extracted from the populace compared to social investment. Possibly a concept some might struggle with seeing the value in.
In terms you could understand, I imagine Facebook is responsible for a fair bit of lost production due to employee timewasting. That's one example.
