haha....me too. But Peters comments on RadioNZ Morning Report this morning show his brain is starting to creak. Not sure he is up to it any more.
Of course...thanks SPC...was a bit early in the morning for me to decode.
In Genter's defence there are plenty of people in NZ that are perplexed by the antediluvian transport policies being pursued by this government.
MIC? ME?
Of course, so no ability to deduct interest as an expense. Time we had a Wealth Tax or a Land Tax.
Good point....and a lot of his supporters will be older people who might not be around at the next election.
With one hand he hands his pay rise to charity. With the other he should be handing the massive tax benefits on his 7 houses that he has granted himself to charity.
Interesting Obs. What none of these polls are predicting is that Winston may finally stand down before the next election-he will be over 81 then. Jones is trying to position himself as a high-profile replacement for NZF but nobody has Winston's charm/mana....
Very interesting that yesterday's poll would put Lab/Gr/TPM back in power after just 6 months of this government. Luxon and Seymour's whole "strategy" has been to say (every time they open their mouths) that the last government was rubbish; the poll shows ...
That $1.7 billion increase is over 4 years. Assuming this is carefully spent by Pharmac on drugs that have the best overall effectiveness on health outcomes this is good news. Of course the "Labour left an unfunded Pharmac deficit of $1.7 billion" is ...
Remember those farmers really need those holidays in Kenya to recuperate. I was running an Environment Court case for a Society in the Upper Clutha (Wanaka area) a few years ago where the farmer was pleading poverty and the consequent need to subdivide, ...
Not true of the Scottish parliament Ad. Between 1999 AND 2021 lLabour has gone down steadily from 34% to 19, while the Greens have gone from 3% to 8. This is from Wiki....difficult to link as am in Dunedin cafe.
Never-it comes automatically whether commenting or replying.
Luxon realised he screwed up royally by not putting the Climate Change minister in cabinet, so he has corrected this today. Too late Christopher, we all know now that you don't give a toss.
Yes Ingrid Hipkins was useless as usual on RNZ Morning Report today when talking to Chris Bishop, one of the Gang of Three. She failed to pursue the anti democratic nature of the Fast Track Bill, or the corruption angle where some people on The List are ...
Thank you Weka.
Tarras International Airport. Labour/Greens/TPM should make it plain that projects consented under the FTP may have their consents cancelled if the government changes.
Agreed Phillip....but it is also a war on the environment and climate change measures. As with the poor, the government has proposed so many terrible policies that are anti-environment (Brown's $9 billion Wellington car tunnel is the latest and perhaps the...
Almost all of those "Points of Order" articles (and all of those from Harmon) seem to support right-leaning policies. It's a bit odd that The Standard promotes them-is there some money involved or is TS simply being open-minded?
Cancelling current affairs/political shows such as Sunday is a travesty. In Australia the government funds the ABC to the tune of over A$1 billion each year (NZ$1.1 billion). This includes ABC Radio. https://about.abc.net.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/...
Joe-IMHO very few of the things this government is doing are vote winners. Standardistas need to compile a list of these stupid/crazy/crap policies to roll out at the next election and say "do you really want to continue with this lot in charge?"
That sound more logical Sub....who needs the money if you get the votes? And Biden's campaign is already much better funded than Trumps and the polls are now neck and neck where previously Trump was ahead.
Whoopee....it's only taken 6 months and 33k deaths...but then they are only Palestinian women and kids.
Yep all good...Biden has been utterly useless....while the American's back Israel and keep sending arms and money nothing will happen.
If the TU is so supportive of tax cuts now it must consider that Robertson did an excellent job in controlling government spending.
"Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years after it reaches the atmosphere. Even though CO2 has a longer-lasting effect, methane sets the pace for warming in the near term." "...
Yep...just 5 months too late.
No Right Turn has it right on methane emissions. More Luxon lies. https://norightturn.blogspot.com/2024/04/climate-change-bad-faith-from-national.html Rod Carr was interesting on this issue on Morning Report just now. Listen here. https://www.rnz.co.nz/...
I don't think people will have forgotten the 352 school building projects being put on hold by this government. For instance this one in Alexandra. https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/central-otago/%E2%80%98devastated%E2%80%99-after-build-paused "Devastated." ...
Effective for the top 5% Crickle, and negative for the rest of us. Except even the top 5% will be affected as the planet burns. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/06/simply-mind-boggling-world-record-temperature-jump-in-antarctic-raises-fears...
