I agree with above comments. Carmel was fantastic, showing to all the strong woman she is.
Have already done so ( deleted the 'Herald' from screen).
Great start to my day too Chris73, to realise Jacinda and her Government have taken decisive measures re the oil /gas and Afghanistan situations. I rejoice.
to Patricia at 5.1.1: Yes, I understood so on both your comments ...thanks for reply.
I have faith that enough of our population have retained the critical thinking skills obviously used in election 2017. They are paramount in being able to 'read behind the the lines'. Nowadays of course that hugely applies metaphorically and often more ...
to Sam at 8.1.1: Your words, not mine.

To Ffloyd at * : + 1000 and I know our P.M. is well able to cope with the onslaught. I have disdain though to those who would add to her burdens, in particular those involved in DP.
to Trewindle at 40: Absolutely so ..... regarding her camping protest in theOctagon...it was really freezing ...she developed a chestiness through that but persisted. Another night would have seen her very ill indeed in my opinion. How many of the writers ...
I think that many contributors have not considered or don't want to consider that the rightwing commercial media might be afraid of a Labour Minister of Broadcasting and so are desperate to cause trouble?
to timeforacupoftea at 30 : Normally I dismiss such lazy vitriol, but this column is riddled with it today/tonight. I grieve. Please don't let TS descend to level of talkback. It is an avenue for considered discussion, not for the vitriol being seeded.
to Macro at 3: The graph in the website you quoted above with its horrendously clear message should be spread widely, being absolutely clear to those of any age, language background, or reading ability. I have no doubt it will be.
That's why I emphasised that they go in safety Tracey....physical and retributive.
To me, this march is the most momentous recent happening on our planet. It is hugely encouraging to this ageing activist to see the determination and vitality by such a mass of young folk ( and some not so young in support) as they progress their specific ...
to Joe90 at 13 ; Yes, knocks the particular threads of prejudice somewhat! Let's hope it causes their widespread questioning.
Lachlan Forsyth's comment above ( that Tongan people gave $600 000 to alleviate Christchurch earthquake) stands out hugely, and shames any criticism of present aid being allotted.
I think of what he did to Hillside (railway workshop).
sorry Bill.........have NEVER been called a nit picker in 85 years.....at times been commended on being non-petty. I sincerely feel that the expressions above that upset me do not come from one who embodies goodwill.
... on the personal" stuff there Heather? It's probably only going to...
I am sad on this lovely summer's day to read your last sentence, which is a really nasty comment, not intended to be part of any movement/moving towards a more embracing society. As well, you either have not taken on board how much has been done already to...
To MS : Re your final sentence, I utterly agree. Often over the years, I've wished for at least a plateau, but realise in recent years, that activism for the more sustainable, just and equitable world requires constant activism. May 2018 indeed show this.
to Sabine: can't stop to read whole post presently but SS.16 is a profound summary of condition of so many past and present. At least we now have houses of refuge for some, and support for others if they know where to find it, but those steps come at end ...
to SM at 3.1 : READ it......it's in the media.
This detailed and easily understood policy shows real understanding of the situation of many...a real credit to the instigators. Seldom do those who can sail through expenses required for further education comprehend the position of those who can't. For ...
to incognito at 16.1 : Wise words from a thoughtful observer.
I have thought for considerable time that use of Christian prayer absolutely not suitable for ethnically and/or of differing religion participants...including viewers/listeners.
to DTB at 2.1.1.2.1.1.: Don't think would lose votes as no complainer would be voting for the party complained about anyway. The complaining is just to involve nuisance waste of time for those delivering or their electorate office.
to Zorb6 at 1 :Majority of New Zealanders??? Statistical proof please.
to Ianmac at 3; frighteningly so........asks serious questions as to why allowed to be in print. I've just read Patricia Grace's "Chappy", bringing back memories of the jibes to us as the Labour -voting teacher's family in a farming community. Dad laughed ...
Great role model Trevor, and emphasises so well the Government's policies for children.
to BM at 14.1.2.1: You are so wrong there about lack of planning. Where is your proof for wasting time ( yours in writing and others in reading) and space on TS with a totally ludicrous statement like that ? Please provide REAL proof for your mischief ...
