Despite knowing you were born in NZ were you ever made aware that you required Australian citizenship/residency if you weren't to face possible deportation? When were you made aware of the Australians Governments intention to return you to NZ?
I've read your post twice before deleting it. There is an Open Mike thread where you can write pretty much anything you like (read our policy first though). As I said in the this thread there are always critics etc. This was a chance for people to put up ...
Juggle all you wish, but considering the torturous party leadership changes endured by the voting public and party membership, any list and reasons for that list I produced would begin with Andrew Little at # 1. Anything less would be imo an exercise in ...
Thanks Grant. However you had your opportunity to win the party leadership last year and were pipped at the post. Perhaps 2023 will be your time. Such folly. (Tracey: were the 3 criteria for posting on this thread too complex?)
If Cunliffe was half as good as you say he is Bill, his caucus colleagues would be ensuring his voice be heard. I think DC does not enjoy the support of his parliamentary colleagues. Bye bye David Cunliffe.
100+. The next election will be won or lost for Labour on issues of economic management, jobs and wages, housing affordability and ensuring all children are being raised to enable their full potential to be realized.
Come on Penny. I'm interested in your answer's.
I agree Bill. I could understand left leaning Labour/Greens aspiring politicians standing previously as independent candidates, however I'm not so sure about Goff who was a Labour cabinet Minister and party leader. It doesn't sit comfortably with me. ...
Looks like more crime committed by our police force then the citizens they are charged to protect.
Where have you been Venezia? This issue has being discussed and debated exhaustively over a number of years. In fact Max will confirm that the rot really set in pretty soon after the introduction of the Employment Contracts Act 1991, which done away with ...
If their members supported such an endeavour I don't see a problem. Perhaps a past members retirement village.
I don't see unions as an intermediary, that's the role of a mediator. Democratic unions act in the interests of the will of the majority. I have no issue with your second point.
Modern day unions are equally interested in the future of work as they are in ensuring it;s members are adequately rewarded for that work. When I first joined the workforce some time ago, I should add, unions were also the vehicle that informed and ...
Thanks Anne and I appreciate your past efforts. Political solutions are not the only answer either, but I guess you have debated alternatives. Cheers.
I am always surprised by the low number of comments from the regulars (with some exceptions) when issues like growing inequality are voiced on this blog. Especially so when the cause of that inequality is pointed out to be the result of the de-unionisation...
Surely he would want to resign his membership.
Come on Penny. I'm interested to know your answer's.
Tactical! How would that be considering his holding cabinet positions along with leadership of NZ's oldest political party? Are you suggesting he wants to distance himself from his past? Or does Labour want to distance itself from Goff's past?
Why would Goff stand for the Auckland mayoralty as an independent candidate considering his life-long commitment to the Labour Party?
Good luck with your new political projects.
Her brother Jonathan is the MP for New Plymouth. Simon is her brother but is not a MP.
Cold. But keep trying.
Ha. Just trying to become a man of value wag.
Use your imagination Einstein.
Well said. RIP Jonah.
All you Europeans look the same to us Asian's.
Especially when their union is in negotiations to renew the expired agreement. However every day of the week, workers desperate for a job sign individual employment agreements (IEA's) on a take it or leave it basis, no negotiation, most with a 90 day fire ...
I was wrong! But I don't believe that will be the case. Andrew Little is a clever man and he will fast become an even smarter politician. He will continue to gain in popularity by concentrating and building policies around things that matter for NZer's - ...
proud poopy wearer eh.
Great phrase Tracey - ".. when it comes to after hours service they just don't want to front ".
Great speech delivered with passion and sincerity. It was also an important speech for Andrew's leadership, and I believe it has cemented & strengthened his Prime Minister in waiting credentials. Under his leadership Labour aren't going to change what we ...
