The people of the Freedom and Choice group and the NZ Outdoors Party are entitled to their particular beliefs. Sort of like people are entitled to their mental health problems. When it ends in things like this? "A Covid-19 testing station in Richmond, near...
You know there'll be an equivalent to the 'Horror in MIQ': "I was in MIQ and my 3 course dinner arrived 27 seconds late." What'll it be? 'Terror at border': Border patroller looked at my kids in the back seat in a funny way"?
Unfortunately when the incurable whingers go they'll still be in mode via electronic means. They'll tell us how this place should be and imply if they were in charge things would be so much better.
Cars always go a bit better when you replace a flat tyre. Putting a new tyre on though doesn't turn a Ford Anglia into a Ferrari.
One of ours with a big mortgage will try to get bailed out by the Government if values drop dramatically and the house is worth way less than what they owe. She'll change her name to 'South Canterbury Finance.'
"I can see clearly now Judith is gone I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had us blind It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day Oh, yes I can make ...
How appropriate too that the photo of Smith, if I'm not mistaken, is of him making one of his big announcements of finding a million hectares or so for new housing in Auckland. Land which meant that there'd be no housing crisis but fleshed out National's ...
I don't play golf, never have, never will. Seizing golf courses? If spaces are needed for housing how about seizing Cornwall Park? Want more green spaces? The Auckland Domain and Western Springs? How about a return to a Transit camp on the slopes by the ...
The takeaway? For you it seems to be that Epiha would not have shot a brown skinned cop. Now is that racism in him? Or racism in you?
Two deaths from covid. That's terrible for the families. It takes the total deaths in New Zealand to 44 (I think.) As a contrast, Alabama, the state closest in population to NZ, has a 7 day average of 9 and their total deaths are 16, 203. No doubt some ...
National should be decisive, come out and say tobacco is there, it]s a fact of life and take the heavy taxes off tobacco. The prices of cigarettes would plummet and the freedom and choice people will be happy.
Johnson can be on the ropes as much as he doesn't want. In the 'old days' the Labour Party would rise up and the Conservative Party would be voted out. Not today. The country is as it is, Johnson's government can do what it wants or not do what it doesn't ...
I wonder how many of the mob Hager is appealing to. There are always malcontents, rabble-rousers, the naive and the just plain dumb. Fodder for those with political intent. In the past few months Brian Tamaki has said the same sort of stuff he said at the ...
Last week I saw references to and for Dr Shane Reti backing up his virtues for leadership of the National party. A number commented that he is a 'medical doctor' attributing to him worth because of that qualification. I thought at the time that history ...
Well done to Max Rashbrooke. I'm trying to work out though the surprise about what his work comes up with. I appreciate he quantifies some aspects of inequality but it's sort of "tell us what we don't know." Just recently Alwyn Poole, of charter schools ...
The difference between living in NZ and the USA? "Tragedy was narrowly averted after police pulled a M4 rifle on a 13-year-old after the child aimed a toy gun at the officer and pulled the trigger. The Police Association says it is lucky the incident ...
That someone like Cawthorn is elected to public office is symbolic of the state of the United States. Of course to enhance the dire picture he has the likes of Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I keep reading that hospitals have been in crisis with ICU beds all full. Or was just in the 'wishful thinking' things I've seen on line? Sort of strange to consider that the fascist state dictates people wear seatbelts. That might prevent ICU beds being ...
And why are cops out trying to catch speeding cars? Most people travelling likely are not. And why are they following up on burglaries when they need to be following up on those killed, maimed, shootings, stabbings, robberies and assaults, family violence ...
Maybe the antis are those not wearing seatbelts and on their mobile phones as they drive.
"Pope you are a heretic!" Three times? Wow, the mystical magical fantastical supernatural world they inhabit probably has it that saying it three times with your fingers crossed means something is going to happen. Or do you have to stand on your left foot ...
And India 601-7. You reckon sports followers will go crazy calling for the resignation of the NZ coach. And the sports journos will be having analyses and getting stuck into the team as they did with the All Blacks? And the knowledgeable scribes like Kate ...
He could say it's whatever day he thinks it should be. If his supporters are anything like those of his predecessor they'll attack anyone who says it's anything different, such as what it really is, and the expression "fake news" will be used. Often.
It's obviously a group laden with talent in the finance area. Not so long back Amy Adams was their guru. I appreciate she had so much to offer she shot through. Was it Paul Goldsmith next? Then Andrew Bayley and now Simon Bridges? If ACT overtake them at ...
Specifically, what do you want him to do in 'dealing with Maori'?
I'm trying to work out why we need ICU beds for a 'just in case worst scenario' when we didn't need ICU beds for just in case worst scenarios in, say, 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2018.
In a group I was in yesterday there were three people with family as teachers. One has a son, one a spouse another a mother in the business. Each mentioned the incidence of their family member and their colleagues being told to "fuck off" by kids. Is it ...
" ... defund gangs in one easy step..." and " ... nothing you can do to dissuade some people that have fallen outside of society from choosing gang life." There you go, the problem identified. There is a market for drugs. If there were no market for drugs ...
He is saying he would open the border today. Of course if his cobbers had got in in 2017 he wouldn't be opening the border today because faced with the pandemic they would've done things differently across the board. There would've been no lockdowns, no ...
People have always used, abused and mangled English since the start of whenever. That "becomes a “thing” that others just copy & repeat, unthinkingly" and it becomes part of the evolving the language.
I'm surprised you haven't said he's the worst finance minister in the history of the country. I guess I'll have to go over to Kiwiblog to find such as that. And how it's a contest between him, Nordmeyer, Cullen, Caygill and Nash.
