National has just Nationalised Novopay. Steven Joyce deserves credit for biting this bullet. Novopay is sold by Talent2, formerly known as Morgan & Banks. Andrew Banks graduated from Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art, travelled globally, ran a...
Mathew Hooton: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery .. Thanks !
Good luck for the general election, guys !
Norman Kirk once came to speak at our student union, making a strong impression. Dressed in a suit he was in a jovial mood and ranged from policy to anecdotes of the Christchurch waterfront. He left us optimistic and enthused. There is no-one who does that...
A secret list curated by social network giant Facebook was published online recently after an employee for one of the company’s third-world contractors, upset at his poor working conditions and meager wage, decided to fight back. http://www.rawstory.com/rs...

You think that's bad ? Have a look at this ... Unemployment in Spain was 26% in December, youth unemployment 55%. GDP last quarter dropped for the fifth month in a row (-0.7%), the steepest decline since the financial crisis. Consumer spending plunged 10% ...

"Runner up, John Key – as much as I don’t like to admit it John Key must be doing something right – his party is systematically destroying the economy but he’s still the voters’ favorite." Who is doing National Party PR or giving him media advice at the ...
It's appalling that Bennett's faux-westie bullying street-argot of 'zip-it' is judged to be 'quote of the year'. Any hard-working courier, copper, paramedic, or nurse could come up with something more succinct, colorful, and apt than this prandially-...
"I would not like to see the Standard become just another echo-chamber for political pessimists. I’m inclined to agree with some of the recent commenters here who are drawing attention to this in various ways. Perhaps in 2013 it will be time for a bit more...
John Key, a celebrity ? He's been there two terms for heaven's sake ? To me he's more like a pair of smelly, old, darned sox ! It's time for a new face ..
If you think our politicians are bad, you should have a look at some they've got across the Tasman .. or the US.
What is so objectionable about not being afraid of 1.) breaking with convention, 2.) not being afraid of looking weak, 3.) and of carrying out thorough research before trading .. or playing poker ? Dammit, he may have dabbled - but he made his reputation ...

Perhaps you could run that past Steven Joyce and the National Party re-electon committee.
Campbell: Numbers ? I see no number from where I sit ! Re. "the rhetoric and tactics of war are totally unsuited to the task of building a healthy society." The theme of this thread seems to be "Key's Waterloo" .. I thought I'd inject a note of realism ...
