Now that's what I call a revolutionary speech. That's the vision I want to hear in New Zealand.
Well, Advantage, seems to this reader that you should have switched the radio off and settled for watching the paint dry. Much more entertaining and informative.
Not available in most areas, I'm afraid.
I was one of the people surveyed (by landline) for the NewsHub poll released at the weekend. They announced themselves as conducting a survey for NewsHub/TV3. To my surprise a number of non-political questions were asked, about housing and water quality, ...
As a wheelchair user, I can at least empathise with her wishes. I too would like to be out on the harbour, or even just on a beach. But for wheelchair users these are scarcely practical options. So I suggest one useful thing she might do with her despised ...
Incognito, this sounds like an echo of my own experience under both Labour and National administrations. Too much gets rewritten after the draft reports or reviews are handed over to the minister's/PM's team.
This is vile. How does the NZ situation compare - anyone know? Or haven't we even looked?
Ed: Perhaps someone could create an equivalent site for the examples you mention.
1800 gone. How many more to go? I've come all over Sound of Music: So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbyyyeeee....!
There are a lot of tradespeople, care home workers, supermarket shelf stackers, lawnmowing contractors, and their ilk in my area who manage to keep their heads above water by very, very hard work. Which their families and neighbours certainly appreciate. ...
I'd happily respond to you, Blade, but am unsure what you are asking. Could you rephrase?
Anyone know anything about his education? His Wiki entry ignores the topic completely, but I have vague memories of reading that he was an early school leaver and never went to a university. Is this accurate, or am I judging by results?
And Lynton Crosby can go suck a lemon.
Future protests should ensure that a camera operator of their own films the police throughout. That could bear fruit.
Anyone who thinks New Zealand writers ply their trade for the money has never talked to an author, a bookseller or a publisher. You earn more scrubbing dunnies in a care home.
That's acutely perceptive of you, greywarshark.
Sorry I'm not here often enough to know that Tanz is a she... I should have figured it out, because she spells better than a teenage boy. Is she related to CC?
Quite so, In Vino. Must admit my first reaction to reading his entries was "Isn't there some homework somewhere that needs your attention, lad?"
Judge Smellie for GG. After a decent interval, of course.
A month or two ago I asked here what had happened to this enchanting person, but no one replied. Has she slimed off overseas again, or has some local entity quietly offered her employment? Given the extent to which she tried to influence political events ...
And encouraging a tipping culture for overseas visitors would also mean that locals need to carry our passports with us when we go out to dinner: "Don't expect a tip, I'm a Kiwi." That'll go down well. Honestly, this government won't be happy till the next...
Double, double, toil and trouble....
In my experience of working with the teams that produce such reports - over a number of years and government departments - the reports are focussed and targeted up till the point where they go to a) a senior departmental official, or more likely, b) the ...
That sentiment should bring on the Donald's heart attack. As to L&L magazine, which I see at the hairdressers, it is beyond satire. Except that I think AbFab got there first with their fash mag slag editor (played by Kathy Burke) who wanted them to run ...
There's a distinction between decision making in the public vs private sectors. Private sector decision making is binary - something either makes money or it doesn't. Pretty easy. Public sector decision making, however, is more complex and nuanced as so ...
She can't opt out of subsidised health care? Now there's a coincidence. Anyone who has been told the bar has now been raised and they don't qualify even to go on a waiting list for surgery can't opt INTO the public health system. However, cross their palms...
When I said set up a date with a bunny, I thought I was talking to Hugh Hefner...
Not sure how Cyclone Cook arrives several days after Cyclone Debbie. They are meant to be alphabetical. Has Cook been stationary somewhere else?
I think he certainly did achieve some basic reforms which were beneficial. He set in place what there is of an integrated environmental protection legislative system, including the Resource Management Act which consolidated more than 95 poorly articulated ...
DuckDuckGo uses Google for its results, but anonymously. And does not save your search record, unlike Google. I use it as my main search engine.
Also, as far as these summer or seasonal short-term jobs go, when I was studying (back when dinosaurs roamed) every summer the tertiary students would head for the orchards and Wattie's fields to get the summer crops in and to get some savings to live on ...
