@Molly I don't think RL is in any mood to hear all this, and nor do I think he will change his position for anything you say (None of this prevents you from saying it of course) A.
I always thought it would be nice to meet her in person A.
I don't read the Daily Blog and have no wish to do so, and what I meant, as you well know, is that if he was in Opposition he would have vigorously opposed joining the Pact. A.
If Peters was still in Opposition he'd be getting stuck into this boots an' all. A.
Oh, well then, wait til the next poll and see how much National go down over this (hint, not a lot) A.
Can you please not tear my bank into shreds as i am still using it A.
Do you think the State should punish everyone who does something you consider 'unacceptable'? You are a little Stalin in the making. A.
Banning Psycho Milt for a year was pretty clearly the wrong decision and should have been reversed. I think I'd be a great moderator, by the way, if anyone wanted to make me one. A.
Great that the housing crisis is over, a relief A.
> There should be a punishment for this sort of misrepresentation. There should not. We live in a country that has freedom of speech. If you want to live in a country where people can be punished for talking about politics (imprisoned? executed?), try ...
$100M doesn't get you a heck of a lot of generation. Makara Wind Farm alone would have been multiple times that A.
There are votes in this. The left can have them or someone else can A.
I agree with much of what you say, but it is a nonsense to say that electricity lines are cartel-like and face 'barely any price regulation'. Most lines companies are under heavy price regulation. They have to be, as there is not competition in the sector....
Fuck off Tuppence If youre worried about your retirement, get off your lazy arse and start saving And I dont even come from Blenheim A.
Except it isn't building lots of houses. Speaking of Kiwibuild, did you see this ballsup? https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2018/12/exclusive-pm-jacinda-ardern-to-review-housing-minister-s-kiwibuild-house-flipping-penalty.html A.
> I think he’s referring to a bit of self-tutelage. Self abuse more like If it's a sock it's a sticky one A.
> Hopefully, all women are looking for her Seems vaguely unlikely A.
Well, I was curious what he would say, and I thought it was a very good answer. A.
What the h*ll is this comment supposed to be? A.
> If you wanted to be clear, all you need have said was “Transgender women at any stage of the process are still men, and should all be kept out of women’s spaces.” That would be my view. If there is a women's space where men are not permitted, then trans ...
Tonight I asked my kid "What race is Santa?" He immediately responded "A dwarf" A.
I find the legislation hard to read. I think they are 10 year targets, but that there will also be less ambitious 3 year targets, is that right, Im honestly not sure. A.
My view is that the three goals Ad quotes have the S, M and T but fail on the A and the R. What time frame are they for, by the way? By 2019, by 2025, by 2050...? Ad doesn't say. A.
"Would be" enough of an improvement A.
> when is Labour/NZF going to keep their promises to cut immigration. I don’t see how continuing to flood the country with National supporters helps Labour’s reelection chances What is with that? I thought if there was one thing that Labour, NZF and Greens...
And this will continue in the future, I think, until we have some kind of fairly enormous crisis. Both sides know they have to court the centre to get re-elected. A.
We need to go to the fundamentals. We need to reduce the demand for housing and/or get better at delivering it (as a package - land, permits, construction and infrastructure to serve). Anything short of that is just rearranging deckchairs. Part of this may...
Yes, these are the kinds of issues that arise. Anyway, I agree with your original point that giving a small amount of money (each) to a large amount of people is not going to be transformational. You need to be focused. I also suspect that providing better...
Depends on how you give it, and how it flows on to other households. For instance if you increase the minimum wage and benefits, then other wages and salaries will also move up, etc etc. A.
> nudge 100,000 kids over an arbitrary line by giving their families another $20/week WHich probably wouldn't even work, as when you give the $20/week, the arbitrary line moves upwards A.
> I trust the PM and the team Can't imagine why, at this point. Do you wanna make a wager? Say, if 2 or more of the targets are achieved you win, if none then I win, otherwise it's a draw? A.
