Voters are fickle and open to manipulation and nacts are good at that. Did Greens ever admit that they were Labour's strait jacket to bring in S59 because that had an effect on voters or that lighting choices were about them? No. I certainly voted for that...
I just look at the stock market as a place for rich people to stick the cash they don't need to live on. The conclusion is that they're still rich; it's only the unemployed that are tanking, so no change there.
Oh dear, Peter Beck doesn't like my ' no 8 wire philosophy ' phrase. He wants it to be called 'ingenuity'.
Billionaires can only wear one outfit at a time. 'Five' million New Zealanders can wear 'five' million outfits at a time. Spot the retail value difference here? These bill's have already flown in to bunkers here. They're really not egalitarians; over the ...
We need naughty, Anne. Carry on!
Someone I know is a lone hairdresser and received a very quick financial response from Government for cover of lost custom. The family backup for her is also excellent. That appears to be the best outcome for an individual under these trying business ...
Two more weeks. But, loosen for infrastructure projects in usually high density areas, stalled at present, while 4 remains in place. Any work that can take place while the streets and public buildings are practically empty could be enacted under this ...

This is a one chance to believe in us. I hope we take it.
Just heard the song on Dr Bloomfield on Trending Now. He covers 1,2,3 and 4. Priceless. PS Was that Gosman I saw heading towards his bach under cover of darkness?? I could be wrong...
I don't understand why businesses in danger don't throw their lot in with their employee(s) and form a cooperative. Nobody wants a business to fail because it provides money for the business owner and it provides income for the employee(s). They both (all)...
Some wag suggested opening the roads to cyclists, walkers, skateboarders,.... And suggested cars drive on the footpath... I like it. However, I'd rather take the train.
" No person has earned a billion dollars." Agree - follows the 'no man is an island' principle.
Well Jimmy, you can't have been following the earlier attacks by a nat govt on Ardern when she was still finding her way in parliament. Nasty and vicious and she just weathered them. Like Clark says - iron in the glove. My mum always said 'pick your ...
And the biggest lesson? A giant cockup: The UK Billionaires who funded Brexit have won their plutocracy. To fully appreciate the scale of manipulation here, one has to appreciate why British Billionaires backed Brexit. The only real threat to the power of ...
Perhaps I was not totally correct about egalitarianism in NZ, and it involves a supermarket checkout operator, Ad: https://www.msn.com/en-nz/lifestyle/life/supermarket-samaritans-heartwarming-act-of-xmas-generosity/ar-AAK4sXV?li=BBqdg4K&ocid=SK2MDHP
Ad 35.2 13 December 2019 at 6:59 pm 'Boris has the clear majority now to get out fast. He's promised 31 January and he can now put through any legislation he wants.' Yep, any legislation he wants - sell, sell, sell. And now he'll be after NZ to sell, sell,...
Ad - you are talking horseshit. When you attack me so forcefully I know that I am correct and you are hyperventilating. Get a paper bag.
When dirty politics, populist politics, the politics of greed win, nobody does. Whatever UK Labour becomes after shafting Corbyn, they should change their name. They're shapeshifters. I will judge the UK by what happens to their people's assets, namely the...
Austrian driller. Activists' message reads 'OMV raus aus Neuseeland' 'GET OUT OF NEW ZEALAND' Sounds good to me. Anything thinking youth considers these days, other than the propaganda sucker tubes from older greedies, suits me. Old greedies are going to ...
GOP - Grand old party or Gallant old party? Neither. It's just like dirty old national. DON.
So, lots of new jobs in Northland and the Auckland land stays in Aucklanders' hands, no contracting out to private interests, or wealthy apartment dwellers, who will do everything they can to shut the rest of us out. Happens all the time. Maybe we can then...
So Trump who has been accused of using fake news throughout his political meanderings is now accusing others of using fake news to impeach him. What a hoot. What delicious irony.
FFS Let's do this! Why on earth should taxpayers pay for dirty politics? Let's remind all our mps who owns them.
I want to watch parliament - small p because nats are wankers but seem to control the media. If they show their lies on their own website, whatever... If they show their manufactured lies on any other site, or through mainstream media, there should be ...
Even Bradbury on The Daily Blog mentions Ardern would seek process and then deal with or to. That's been done. It's getting harder to believe in a NZ that follows the innocent until proven guilty rule, esp in the media.
Koch dead - oh dear, how sad, never mind. Now what about the other kochup?
Suggesting Cameron Slater was a journalist is suggesting John Key enhanced the office of Prime Minister. Both would be an insult to New Zealanders' integrity.
Now you're talkin' G. A beautiful song by McLean, Did you also read the contemporary info that suggests/proves/proposes that Vincent did not shoot himself, that two local boys were responsible and the townsfolk, and Vincent, incidentally, decided to let ...
That's what I like about The Standard; there's always something to learn from the posters - aka Murphy's Law origin. But, utopia pragmatism?- nah. I'm a total utopia believer G. Without that belief I couldn't continue to believe in the progress of the ...
Oh dear, I hope I didn't sound like some sad old case just waiting for Godot. Probably another 15 years ahead. The 2/3 hasn't come back yet. I just wanted to make it clear I know what cancer is and how to approach it personally. I am politically fit to ...
