"Knocking down 85, building 75 and only 15 of those 75 will be state owned." And your point is what? That they are only rebuilding 15 out of 85 homes in the same location? Housing NZ have already stated that they want to sprinkle state owned houses around,...
Government evicts people from homes owned by the government to make way for improvements. Tenets angry they don't get to veto the governments decision, even though not their house to decide. So remind me what this artical is about. That the government ...
what defence? You think i'm debating key's stance on gst. Then you're not reading what i wrote.
pedantry? You've damaged the context, you've ripped apart two different sentences, edited them to suit, and merged them together by adding words, and sprout has the audacity to call it A DIRECT QUOTE. Do you not understand the meaning of the words "direct ...
No, its pretty clear that's not quoting. There's no quote marks enclosing the quotes, there's no ellipsis. You'd have to either be retarded, or a dogmatic leftwing supporter to suggest that's an actual quote. And i'll add the two aren't mutually exclusive.
could you link that article please? I'd be interested in reading it.
Thanks for your interesting posting phil, its interesting to see someone vet the claims of both labour and national. Although granted mostly this time its labour.
I'd say its more simply we are dumbfounded that anyone could actually find it funny. We point out how bad it is, and not because its attacking national, but because its honestly just bad And at least in my case, i get to watch how the swarm behaves when ...
"From you, this is high praise I’m hitting my mark." Well done Viper, you have seen though my cleverly concealed attempt at steering you down the rigthwing path. Indeed it is in Goffs best interest to come to a debating show, and when asked a questions he ...
"Sorry John, we don’t release our policy for your convenience, we do it at ours.”" And the obvious follow up is to point out its actually the voters who are inconvenienced by such a late showing, if there is anything to show at all. In fact that statement ...
Or the more simpler explanation being that this is just poorly done. It looks like crap, and its a graphical joke. It's punchline isn't funny. It doesn't even follow the format of the drink and drive ads, so its satire is badly done.
"Wow, these RWNJs are quick to stick the knife in aren’t they?" Because the term "RWNJ" is synonymous with "climate change denialists"...
Lot of moron calling Draco, you seem stressed. Also schools often aren't a natural monopoly, due to the fact that you get a choice of schools you can send your kids to. Perhaps in rural areas they are a natural monopoly due to low populations, but the ...
From your link, you seem to be using as a crutch: Gross debt, described as gross sovereign issued debt, includes core Crown debt only (eg, Treasury bills, Government Bonds, Kiwi Bonds, and settlement cash deposits with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand). IT ...
So your three complaints are thusly 1. Its a rightwing think tank so it can't be trusted. 2. Its not perfectly accurately so it can't be trusted. 3. Because small businesses hired fewer people, the policy isn't successful So lets start with the first point...
The only thing of value in that is the "Labour left office with zero net government debt" Which he backs up with nothing substantial, it might as well be an opinion. You could of said it with as much authority. Instead you hide behind his post, and call me...
"Labour left office with zero net government debt." Care to show how you came to that conclusion? i find that utterly baffling how you can state that, given the following budget.
"I can see you prefer fairy tales to reality. Idiot child." I dont' even care, show me what measurement where the current account "was fine", when labour exited and national took over in 2009. http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/economy/2468285/...
http://www.treasury.govt.nz/budget/forecasts/befu2008/13.htm So you're using a measure that doesn't take into account profit and loss, and telling me that its a better measure to use, in a discussion about national deficits.... Right.... I'm also not sure ...
Selective memory much? Allow me to refresh your memory http://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/media-speeches/media/14oct09 30 June 2009, we had a $10.5 billion deficit. Who the hell do you think we have to blame for such a bastard deficit? And if you ...
"In which case I don’t think there’s any change necessary. Can someone confirm?" So you're simply going to look at the law, say its good, and ignore the fact that we STILL have a massive youth unemployment issue? http://diyfail.com/fail-pics/21729-that-...
"people oppressed by 90 day fire at will" If there is a person being oppressed by that 90 day law, i suggest he look at himself, rather then blame the law. As for people being oppressed, research suggested that it had a net increase in the number of steady...
How about the fucking massive deficit Labour left NZ as they exited. No really, how about that? Oh i guess we can overlook that, after all they had higher gdp (not that that's hard when you spend everything you have and then some)
"Making work less attractive for people on benefits" I love how you make that sound like work is optional, and that remaining on benefits is a valid lifestyle.
"Or are you just saying that workers on the NE displace workers who wouldn’t be, thereby reducing the total pool of wages for the same work donw?" Meanwhile, while we argue, lets ignore the crushingly high unemployment for youth that NZ has, and the long ...
And its posts like that viper, which make me believe you are incapable of independent (or even intelligent) thought. I've not said anything even slightly neoliberal. I've only mentioned that the government has better things to spend money on. You then spin...
"No, I’m pointing out our current budget priorities." No, you're pointing out the most controversial use of this governments spending, and comparing it. Like comparing a rotten apple to a rotting orange, and then suggesting that perhaps the apple is better...
"If it is so unrealistic then surely you agree that National should never have promised to make such a promise." I don't remember seeing where National said they would allow treatment at any cost. There was this paragraph in the scoop artical however "The ...
Well unless another figure can be provided as to the cost of treatments, then the only figure i have to work and judge by is $1 million per person, per year. And at that price, its not affordable. Even if it was a fraction of that price, i question as to ...
