Totally hypocritical in view of the fact that Bridges has been screaming about gangs for months, including on Twitter and Facebook just a week ago re the gang problems in Tauranga. Back in Oct 2019 he was very vocal about opposing any talking with gangs, ...
Just because the SFO has only filed charges against four people so far, does not mean that they cannot file charges against other people as further evidence etc comes out through the court process in relation to the four people already charged. As we now ...
August is even closer! LOL
Exactly - see 8.1.1 above.
Because he is no fool and has no doubt had a lot of legal advice in the interim. If I was a betting person, I would put money on JLR having a great deal more in his back pocket - eg lots more tapes and probably also papers. JLR has already demonstrated ...
TRP, It might be me but I could not find a link in the post to the Herald article (could be my eyesight at present as under treatment) so here is the link before there are demands for it: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=...
You said it!!!!! The place needs a bit of humour. At times these days it feels like a school room where you have to get teacher's approval etc. and woebetide if you don't.
LOLOL! Good to see you back. You really should do something about that tongue firmly stuck in your cheek!
LOL! I gave up the hunt for detail etc because I no longer get paid for that sort of thing, and SFO have a few good "pedantic detail hunters" in their ranks! PS - liked your suggested words for JA above! She gave SB a run for his money in QT this afternoon...
TRP, being an incurable pedant, I have wasted a lot of time this morning going back over the many press releases etc in 2018 when things blew up in the Ross/Bridges saga and since, trying (unsuccessfully to date) to pin down which year's $100K donations to...
Serious Fraud Office As we are likely to be hearing a lot about the Serious Fraud Office in the coming months, I though people may be interested in listening to this short (6 minute) interview between Jesse Mulligan and Len Anderson, President of the ...
Why don't you check out what the legal status is and let us all know? You could start here - https://dpmc.govt.nz/our-business-units/cabinet-office/supporting-work-cabinet/cabinet-manual If you have any questions, the Cabinet Office is usually really ...
Thanks for the links. Janet provided a quote in the comment at 7 but did not provide a link to where the quote came from. As I said I do understand what Ken Mair is saying as I already knew many of the grounds that various communities have been making for ...
Janet self-identified back on 17 April 2017 as "I am a fourth generation NZ fulltime farmer." No mention of any indigeous connections I understand where Ken Mair is coming from to a degree. Despite being white myself, I am really pleased that my wider ...
Janet has been a commenter on TS for some years and I doubt that she is a shrinking violet who will disappear. She contributes some very good ideas etc on sustainability, environment, and similar issues and I admire and respect her for her views and ...
I also wondered what it was and here is what I found - a music and BBQ festival in Auckland this weekend at the ASB showgrounds ... https://meatstock.nztix.co.nz/Default.aspx?Event=109192
We also have international obligations in respect of refugees and stateless persons and at a measly 750 refugees a year for some decade,s we (NZ) have not been doing our fair share compared to other countries - including Australia from memory. I really ...
LOL - wellsaid! And there is a big difference between 'refugees' and 'migrants/immigrants' but none so blind etc etc Good to see you back here, hope you do so more often.
Thanks for the link. The bread bag seems to be sold out at present but the pack of 4 reusable fruit and vege bags at $13 seems a good mix of types and size, and good value. I also have a pack of five close mesh reusable fruit/vege bags bought from New ...
John, as I also have to often use one or two walking sticks or crutches these days due to deteriorating mobility from autoimmune disease, I understand exactly what you are saying re plastic bags being useful for carrying things - and why you get your ...
How about a NZ product instead - Sistema make a wide range of reusable food storage items which imho are way ahead of Tupperware in terms of their design and much cheaper. Sistema was a NZ start-up and while the original starters/owners sold out for ...
Take them to your nearest foodbank - I am sure they would be happy to take them and use them for food parcels.
Which also reminds me of another NZ composer of worldwide reputation whose compositions range over and blend a number of different genres including electronic with orchestral - Rhian Sheehan. [Funny that because I have known him most of his life (= wider ...
Both.
GeorgeFM apparently - and googling electronica music NZ will give you masses of links to actual events etc.
As Ad said, go educate yourself. There is plenty out there including on Google So here are one or two snippets to get you started: NZ Samoan Composer - Opeloge Ah Sam https://www.creativenz.govt.nz/news/passionate-composer-and-performer-awarded-samoa-...
Thanks for the heads-up Jimmy as I have now found the TV3 item and here is the link - another Tova O'Brien special as part of the Newshub poll released the other night. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/02/revealed-who-kiwis-think-should-be-nz-...
That's interesting, Jimmy. I did not see that as I rarely watch TV - which News was it on? TVNZ or Newshub? Re Jones taking over as Leader of NZF eventually, I don't believe that will happen for a number of reasons. I actually discussed this subject in a ...
IMO that is a very one-sided view of the situation and I am surprised and disappointed at Hickey's take on the situation. This view that only white elitists listen to Concert FM or listen to and participate in classical music is just so closed minded. It ...
Dowie is currently Nat spokesperson on Conservation and is on the Enviroment Select Committee (and was Deputy Chair under the previous Nat Govt). She has a Member's Bill currently before the House on shark cage diving which seeks to regulate this currently...
Yesterday was the first day of the 2020 sitting year for Parliament. Usual business was suspended for the day to allow Members to remember and share their personal memories of the late Right Honorable Mike Moore. Speeches started with Jacinda Ardern as PM ...
