Six jobs lost at a local countdown cos they've put in the self check out aisles. Won't use them.
I suspect the Nat initiative with RNZ is to run its listenership down deliberately, then say to function properly it needs to be in corporate hands. Why else Espiner in the morning and Mora on Checkpoint?
Yet another example of the Nats subsidising a failed business model. I thought they were in favour of business doing its own thing. Oops, no, wait...
There was a time, not that long ago, when teachers were paid the same as a back bench MP.
But it will go a long way to reaching Hatties number 1 which was regular feedback. Much easier to provide feedback to 24 students than 30+
I was at school with Graham. Sad to hear he died. When?
I'm filled with foreboding about that. It probably won't be a direct hatchet job, too obvious. More likely damn with faint praise and filled with snide remarks.
Has it not occurred to any political journalist that the reason behind the latest MFAT stuff up, is the restructuring that McCully rammed through. Fewer staff=more pressure=inevitable mistakes. We've seen it at home, and over the China wharf fiasco. Yet no...
Maybe as punishment McCully has to go list only, thus parachuting in, (probably literally, great promo shot) Colin Craig!
And look at the debt he leaves behind! Not to mention his stellar performance as leader.
Gordon Campbell on the money as usual. http://gordoncampbell.scoop.co.nz/2014/06/06/gordon-campbell-on-the-john-banks-verdict/
Similar experience this morning. Mana is gaining some traction amongst those on benefits wanting work, and the low paid struggling to meet rent.
Now that is seriously cool LH will bring real Mana (pun intended) to the party. They can't be considered lightweight any more, and their left wing credentials have been strengthened. All power to the IMP.
We have one and its a f...ing nightmare. At least once a month the hot water relay trips. Cold showers in the morning are Not appreciated. Millsy, could I have it removed and replaced with a standard meter?

I'm getting a subtext here that its not ok for someone who has money to have any socialist leanings. So following that line of thought David Cunliffe shouldn't be in the Labour Party. So the Nats were right all along./sarc
You do wonder how much editorial pressure is put upon editors and journalists by the owners.
Brook Sabin on TV3 has a Dad who's a National MP. Never heard a disclaimer on TV3 news yet. http://www.mikesabin.co.nz/images/christmas.png Should really be talking to Hone.
Reminds me of this... https://twitter.com/TerrifyingPosts/status/418486573546881025/photo/1/large
Not her. See her twitter feed. Can't figure out to insert pic.
Your comment is awaiting moderation… Now this is interesting. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/politics/news/article.cfm?c_id=280&objectid=11224591 And Mr Hooten is spinning already on Twitter. Hoping it really will be a game changer in the lefts favour. But ...
For buyer, read"Corporate America"
I disagree entirely. As mentioned above Jones is doing what every Labour front-bencher should be doing in an election year. My wife works in the supermarket industry, and it needs a major shakeup. Most pay minimum wage to staff yet they really are licenses...
Whaleoil is on the Judith Collins side in the jockeying for leader after Key, is he not? Could it be that Key is tipping his hat to her as leader, instead of Joyce?
Rather than religion as such it seems to me your arguing more for good old fashioned manners and a concern for the well being of others. In addition the teaching of critical thinking. I can only give you what I have experienced in the schools I have taught...
It will take me a few hours to formulate a decent reply.
So riorio, what do you want us to drop? Not disagreeing, but given the crowded curriculum we have now, something would have to give.
I've always been a believe in the cock-up theory of history. Very rarely are things as orchestrated as they seem to be. The Nats are flailing around, slinging mud hoping some of it sticks.
Discussion, as it should. My take on it is that if someone wants to be a mercenary, why should we stop them? And how do you prove the organisation they are fighting for is "terrorist"
I wonder at what point will Key start to look untenable? A couple of Roy Morgan's below 40%? IMHO is that even if that does happen, they won't dump him/force the resignation this close to the election. That really would be electoral suicide. But watch how ...
