Just like the major disaster we have when auckland loses power for a couple of hours, meanwhile other parts of nz go without power for weeks or longer nd no-one hears about it. the fire could easily have been a major one if it hadnt have been stopped, also...
I would like the average wage to stop being used as the number most people are getting. The median wage is a better figure, but it still has flaws.
This must be a joke, surely this wouldnt happen in any democracy. Didnt this happen in nz during the 50s warfies strike. totaly despicable,
Labour =jobs, finally the distinction between other left parties and shows the difference between labour and national.
Doesnt he have a family and kids?. If this is the case, even though i dont like him people shouldnt be gloating, as his family will suffer also, which is none of there doing.
I know its not ideal, but with your 1.3 mill you could buy a business and house in other parts of nz. Your daughter could work for you, buy a brand new house and have change left over from here 500k. the population/work is to dominated in auckland whilst ...
I would like to here that the ordinary people matter to him, and his labour party. that he will work to bring back the 40hour week and 8 hour day. I would like to here him differentiate labour from the greens. I would like to here precisely how labour is ...
I have always assuned that for a bank to lend money, they must have that money in the first place. Even if they are borrowing it, at some point up the chain someone must have the cash to lend(so to speak). If that is not the case, is that not fraud?. I ...
Would we have able to put any legislation inplace, or future rules regarding the sale of legal highs?. Putting additional taxes on petrol reduces amount of petrol sold, so the oil companys could take legal action. Oil companys could sue over any changes to...
On the speed limit, its 100km per hour, if you are caught over that the police have a right to issue a ticket. There is a tolerance, margin of error that needs to be in place, but that doesnt make the speed limit higher than 100km per hour. on the ian ...
Plums on the west coast 10.99 per kilo. lucky I have a number of trees, admitaly they have spots, arnt huge and not the nice colour the supermarkets have, but the taste a hell of a lot better. The regions are screwed for choice, there are no markets, no ...
The left needs to find a way to put its beleifs into 10 second sound bites. and before anyone says thats due to a short attention span of the masses, it has more to do with a lack of free time to listen and think about anything other than work and making ...
I was amazed with the varied views and ways of lokking at things on here. the narrow minded views on whaleoil often seem like comments made at the pub after 6 beers. Sadly what was once simply thought of as being rude and impolite is now ok, and if you ...
Long term invalids and sickness beneficierys are people that from my experience are tough as old boots, and dont give up easily. They put up with crap that the rest of us would struggle to cope with. they could teach the rest of us alot about perseverance,...
The thing that bugs me the most about this, is that it is just putting pressure and stress on people who already have a huge amount to cope with. I have a friend who a cronic illness that will never get better, this person battles constantly with one thing...
Im not a troll. just voicing my opinion on how I see things. im very anti the way the palestinians have been treated by the israelis, and the way the israelis treated the british soldiers who went to palestine after ww2. im removed from the wars that have ...
That comment about jaffas and rugby was in reference to anothers post. A few years ago I didnt have this view about being wary of muslims, but the more attacks, irrelevant of the reason on innocent citizens for lame reasons by extremist, the more others ...
And you are judged by the rugby team you support, im pretty sure the term jaffa came about in reference to auckland rugby supporters as an example.
The constant attacks by muslim extremists, irrelevant of the reason, has changed my view over a long period of time about all muslims. I would hazard a guess that many others in nz feel the same way. gangs are about gaining what they want through ...
It is very hard not to be biased against islam and muslims. Irrelevant of them being extremists, they are still using there religion to justify murder. just like being wary of people who are gang associates, I am now wary of muslims. im quite anti mass ...
It used to be that deforestation was a major cause as trees eat up co2, is this still the case?
Are we releasing more carbon per person, or is a big part of the problem too many people?
Cars might work in citys for taxis, no one will accept aircraft without a manual overide on board(pilot), I personally think we are heading into a cottage industry age with 3d printers where itens wont be mass produced but where everyone will print there ...
3d printing. there will be a huge need for designers, inventers, producers of raw products, transport firms for raw products. passenger planes will never fly pilotless, just like cars without drivers wont become the norm. People (in particular guys) wont ...
It seems the case in a huge percentage of jobs these days to have the bare minimum of staff to complete the basic functions of a position and there is an unwritten expectation that staff will work an extra half hour to an hour unpaid. This could be seen as...
There are plenty of cheap houses for sale in parts of the south island, coal is cheap and wood plentiful, and on the west coast we dont have leaky building problems. Why dont people relocate?.
Irrelevant of him being recognised, were the other 2 with him?. If brownlee was being forced to go through there against his will and one of the other 2 had a gun or bomb we would be calling for the security to face charges. the plane wouldnt leave any ...
The high price of oil has increased the demand for hybrid and electric cars, but ultimately the only people who realy suffer are those at the bottom. one thing that never gets mentioned about reducing petrol usage are air conditioners. if we removed air ...
It would be good to find someone on the average wage and someone on the median wage and compare there living standards. hopefully this would stop the ave wage being used as the standard measure. I dont know about everyone else, but im sick to death of ...
Competition creates winners and loosers. instead of us all working as a team to get better results for all we are supposed to fight and claw our way to the top by pulling others down and taking advantage of them in a sytem thats benefits certain groups. ...
Unofficially it seems like key and national never stop campaigning. they seem to have had an allblack game plan, grind the opposition down over 80% of the game, then in the last 20% put the foot down and overwhelm a tired worn out confused opposition.
