League tables is just like professional sports whereby schools are pitted against each other in the spirit of competition to show up poor performing schools and to either shame them into doing better or drive out so called poor performing staff, all to ...
But Peter Jackson, "Sir Peter", (the now notorious "Sir" label for the rouges gallery emphasis) fucked the actors and film industry over here, to make his millions, Key got to dump all over those who tried to be properly compensated by way of a union and ...
Keep telling the same lie over and over and it becomes truth. Or just maybe what he knows that most of us didn't because National had ways of dealing with bad news, is that the books were much worse than National let on. Then he could justifiably have a ...
Boy oh boy is it not dummy spitting tantrum time from Nationals most influential donors? Think about it, born to rule - paid-up donors who never for a moment thought the gravy train they chipped in for would end! All those donations for favours never to be...
RON'S made sense only if it was targeted at investors in civil engineering firms, roading companies and trucking firms. Huge amounts of taxpayer dollars poured into what looked like a policy from 1930's Germany and post war Europe. Otherwise they were and ...
The position was supposed to have a representative of the people to run the objective ruler over decisions. Just in this case, it is the Prime Minister again (rather than running a safe distance away from the hot seat like Key) who is the peoples ...
Yep, he almost got caught there and with a more onto it media, it would have meant his demise. Still, Teflon John dumped that one on someone else, quick smart, to take the heat.
Kiwiblog is and always has been the National Party propaganda blog. It is their creation run by their man, end of story.
The rotten wood, for want of a better term, runs so deep in National there will be few who are not raised on the default dishonesty model and who are not card carrying dirty politics practitioners. It dawned on me that today marks the end of THE most dodgy...
Based on his dull radio show a few years back on Live and now his firmly unPC opinions you would have to say that man is pure National MP material!
The Chief Justice has a good point about pre-charge warnings and the system coincidentally came in around the same time this National government did. The stated ideals of the system are in summary, not to tie up court time with small offences, leaving it ...
National voters are absolutely comfortable with this status quo, as they are with the housing crisis, as they are with our failing health system, as they are with the poverty of our fellow citizens, etc, etc And I've been reading another article from the ...
I don't pretend to know the outcome of these so-called negotiations but with comments from Peters such as "For months and months, in fact for years, they all campaigned together, hugging each other, embracing each other, and loving each other. We didn't.",...
People are not enrolling for higher education because the economy is doing so well??? Seriously, who the hell believes that kind of Nat propaganda?
The complete mess National have made of the health system was covered, in part, by the media but Labour, in their polite, positive campaign didn't really go near it. For those who because of age or luck have little to do with the health system, they would ...
Chris Trotter will be panicking. This "left wing" commentator has been writing a series of blogs post election, not to mention before, telling us all why he thinks Labour should not OR do not deserve to be in government, anywhere from "the moral mandate" ...
"Whether of not Joyce set out to cause mischief, or he simply misread the books and embarrassment and pigheadedness meant he was unable to back down (the latter theory I favour)". "Mischief".....oh... my ....God! From that massively ridiculous ...
And dissension is crushed in National isn't it? Never question the company line, certainly not the rich men who run it and never hold an opinion that is outside Nationals groupthink. The image of unity within National is as unrealistic as it is dishonest.
Apart from what the Greens supposedly stand for, what the Herald, who is so shamelessly pimping for the National Party, or all those corporate media opinion writers and so-called political journalists fail to see is, doing a deal with any partner requires ...
He started out that way, then faded, then had a media/image makeover complete, it appears, with media minders. Whatever he was naturally was replaced with something wooden and robotic. Positive only gets you so far, but then why is it National had to go?
Who said lie? The Nats got 46% for their 4th time around and that should never have happened with the ammunition Labour had at their disposal. SImply front the public with the ugly truth, which they did not. Remind voters your health system is ...
Some honesty is required for Labour after the final numbers are known because their campaign only ran on Jacinda, other than that it was awful. I have read too many pieces as of late praising the half-arsed job Labour did. Do that again and its National ...
[Memory needed] It was only July 2017 that they were slagging off NZ First and Turei and others were goading Peters, pre the Green Party conference and back when Greens were riding high in the polls and probably thought they could out muscle NZ First. The ...
Although I think it is more likely he will go with National, no evidence of why, rather his contrarian behaviour and that the Greens had it in for him, the ONE thing that I cannot go past as to why he would pick National is their dirty politics hit job on ...
In case you missed it Labour had many if not all economists backing their economic plans and guess what, Stephen Joyce made up the 11 billion dollar hole, yep, he just made shit up and just like that, enough dumb arse voters believed it even though ...
Oh the irony is so, so thick. Does Peters go with the very party that tried to politically assassinate him just weeks ago by leaking/revealing his confidential pension details to the media? Does Peters go with the Party that ran a campaign to take him out ...
I thought there was recognition of Aucklands importance and a real effort with Auckland, with Matt McCarten and Andrew Little basing themselves in Grafton Rd. If so what was the issue? I have no idea if Labour already do this but Nationals use of focus ...
The strategy was not complex, throw mud and some will stick. Even the most guilty people in history have people who think they were somehow innocent no matter what the evidence against them. This National government have been dishonest from the beginning, ...
It's a vile campaign by National, one of lies and ugliness and one that English fully subscribes to in his absolute desperation to avoid electoral defeat twice in his life, Whatever integrity English once appeared to have has been burned to cinders but if ...
Nice one National. Not able to sell enough state houses quickly enough to investors they move on to selling our rural land to fuck knows who really. As if these types would ever vote anyone but National anyway! But think about it. This is the 2017 version ...
Actually, let's talk about what tax cuts have bought us, namely a dysfunctional public sector that has negative spin offs like people dying waiting for health treatment, climbing crime rates, untreated mental health problems, kids going without and ...
