The accuracy of data presented is only as accurate as the concept, design and execution of the polling questions, and the analysis of results. These are things vulnerable to political motivations. Independent pollsters do not set up political think tanks ...
I didn't realise Robert McCulloch was an academic. I assumed he was some disgruntled right wing former journo like Graham Adams or Karl du Fresne. Providing a blog poll by a conflicted right wing political activist as evidence Newshub is too left wing is ...
Premier House: Report into Prime Minister Chris Luxon’s apartment reveals it’s draughty, dated, uninsulated... ...The report included an independent building assessment which found it would need re-roofing in 2025, and that was little or no insulation, ...
Fascinating. The two highest returns for strongly were (now by definition) far right broadcasters. ZB taking the unenviable title for most biased on two scores, 19% for strongly political, and 36% for overall bias. ZB is of course the most widely listened ...
As KJT mentions below, this was a self selecting survey presented to users of the most right leaning popular political blogs in New Zealand, one which had to quickly introduce a moderation firewall immediately following the Christchurch terror attacks, ...
What's really disturbing is that this forms the basis of his judgement. His first reaction in business life is to seek profit as a form of god's work. Everybody should be doing this and we'd all be rich. The lord provides. This episode shows his judgement ...
They did move to a more conservative position. They had Duncan Garner and then even worse, Lyin' Ryan Bridge. And in political reporting Jenna Lynch who is married to ACT's chief of staff. Michael Morrah himself, and Amelia Wade who seems a bit suspect. ...
A bit rich for Michael Morrah to be complaining: Morrah was also critical of a lack of Government assistance for the station as it battled a diminishing television advertising market and global economic downturn off the back of Covid-19. Morrah said ...
Rimmer backtracking on his dividend comments as he should. The weasel now says of TVNZ which he is a shareholder in: We've done what any shareholder would do and asked 'how is the return on equity that the company, in the same market that we're responsible...
You want the government to start advertising on Conspiracy Check Radio and The Plunkform?
Why should TVNZ be made to return a dividend? Its remit includes public broadcasting. Why shouldn't private operators not demand a dividend to help "level the playing field"?
You've heard of go woke, go broke. Welcome to go nut job, find a new job.
Fairly sure Usman Khawaja ain't your friend, you bald-headed cunt, so why would you indulge in such loose language around him? Nervous, schoolboy stupidity is the only answer. https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350194206/premier-house-upgrades-will-be-...
Tight race between Winston Peters, Rimmer, and Shane Cigareti for the title of most useless Māori. Cigareti edging it at the moment, to be fair. https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350193412/bills-disestablish-maori-health-authority-smokefree-be-passed-under-...
That classroom your kids need is too nice, therefore they shall have no classroom at all. In a November briefing to the incoming Education Minister Erica Stanford, the Ministry said it would not be able to find more than 2% worth of savings without cutting...
Would be beautiful irony if it was National that forced through a CGT. Never mind the budget, they'd just do it. An announcement, then under urgency the next day. Like dogs eating their own vomit the rich pricks of NZ would be stunned, then automatically ...
I couldn't work out why Mitchell's private security operations in the Middle East are now framed by right wing commenters as for aid organisations. For example, tsmithfiled mentioned the word aid 5 times in his comment @1.1.2. Why? Mitchell's work from ...
Anyone know what organisation the company he was working for in Iraq was contracted to? Never mind, found it. It was the Coalition Provisional Authority government: The CPA was admonished for its mismanagement of funds allocated to the reconstruction of ...

Dildo cone-head wants to replicate an anecdotal social worker character called Jo, possibly a former netballer from Northland, all while reducing government by 6.5%: https://archive.is/tBpLu He wants community providers to do all the leg work with minimal ...
I've done it all. Compared four pollsters, three independant and one not, over a small window, and looked at medium term poll-of-polls comparing two pollsters, one independent and one not. Here's another. All comers 4 weeks before the 2023 election (10 ...
First you want trends, and now you don't, you want the single poll point immediately before an election. Could you please make up your mind?

I need to make a correction to my comment @ 6.3.1.1.2 6.2(%) is 138% of 4.5(%), and an increase of 38% (not 138%) Also, RM + Farrar averaged 13% for ACT in the six months before the 2023 election (14% and 12% respectively) which is 150% of ACT's election ...
Dear, old Janet Dickson. Too racist and afraid to go to a 90 min Tikanga course, now threatening Harcourts (one of the most Pakeha institutions in the land, no doubt) with a Hobson's Pledge backed judicial review costing $150K. If she'd just gone to the ...
Sorry, who is taking me to court? I don't get this. Don't threaten me on this site, please. Your third para is just stupid. RM had Greens at 15.5% while average of other three was 11%, diff is 4.5%. Farrar had ACT at 13.7% while average of other three was ...

Chloe Swarbrick and the Scottish lord I think.
Sections of Aro Valley could and should be repurposed and that has happened from time to time but it would be a mistake to throw out all that Pākehā heritage. I don't have an issue with those houses disrepair being gentrified as long as much more decent ...
Congrats to Geordie Rogers and the Greens for winning the Pukehīnau/Lambton General Ward vacated by Tamatha Paul. In true Greens tradition, Rogers is a tenants advocate being the former president of Renters United. I'm sure he will continue to promote ...
