is he suggesting we take these people? I'm not against that I do worry about the precedent - as in got a people problem flick em to the kiwis.... I do think NZ should be taking a very firm line with Australia informing them this isn't acceptable behaviour ...
I could just vote National - eventually the polls will swing enough for them to enact legislation for medicinal use (quite possible) or fall legislation or neither of these two parties are offering me a reason to vote for them on this one issue disclaimer ...
I'm not interested in a meek promise of introducing a referendum over this matter - Little and Labour this is a massive cop out I and many others will vote for and support a party that makes legalisation an election policy, a party that has the foresight (...
only an idiot makes a payment for nothing... and only an idiot pays someone who can't or won't help them i.e. what has our bribe achieved? Only an idiot thinks this entire affair is the price of doing business or in your case play some game
finding a scape goat is all well and good if the steel fails - let us hope this never happens I wonder if anything has been done to ensure this doesn't happen again. Or am I being far too optimistic as repeating the same stupid mistakes really does seem to...
articles warning of property bust vs articles pro property and how strong the market is - um, one of these things is not like the other, one side has a few showings... the other dominates our media and has done for years we might have been warned... but ...
added to your thoughts is the slow drift away from consumerism and material possessions... we don't need stuff except to dull the horrors of losing so much of our lives to paid work, which few of us are lucky enough to have employment fulfil any role other...
wages should rise and house prices need to fall (blah blah blah), plus a bunch of other measures relating to houses as investments PLUS we need to stop importing people without having the infrastructure to support them I'm all for simple one concept ...
sigh who really cares.... the world is vastly more interested in the Tay Tay vs Kayne / Kardashian both are vacuums to which one must not be drawn into
sales pitch bluster - I like that... its that pitch that helps gain some power, espcially the fear angle Agree about the masses vs the establishment - masses want peace, good lives and all the stuff the powerful deny so many, cause $ and power
I fail to see this as a left / right issue - even in the UK a country that was lead to war in Iraq by a Labour Govt, a conflict that has and continues to claim many times more than 100,000 dead This is about fear, power and money... of which all side of ...
I consider myself better informed and a better person from my years on the net learning how to engage and benefit from the world of online commenting I miss forums... and soon will miss comments in the MSM...
as if thats going to stop them... its going to get worse - hence additional content via comments can be very rewarding
good points :)
Stuff do have the Stuff Nation... as ill conceived and enacted as it is it was at least an attempt to do something For a big site community might just boil down to regular contributors - which over time will build themselves into some sort of a community, ...
Public Address is I believe the shining light (locally) of how to create and maintain over a long period a online community The feeling I get from the MSM is a general attitude of disdain towards their readers/viewers... the lack of anything even closely ...
big fan of comments myself - like with the old form of letters to the editors, in the media its the only time you get to read what normal people think... I appreciate that it takes time and thus money for commercial entities to moderate comments and thus ...
How the hell could the work they've done have cost 1.6 Million?
Has ever a deployment (continued or not) ever been so poorly justified on behalf of the NZ Govt (or any for that matter) - can they at least explain what we get from staying? lets not pretend for a second we're helping the Iraqi troops - who will flee or ...
"Do the Nats have a decent, compassionate bone in their collective bodies?" No - well not unless it concerns one of their own

Key so wants/needs more terrorism cards to throw down... this being a anti gay killing rampage and horrific tragedy just doesn't suit his needs Such a statesman
no one said they were affordable houses
I'm sure Bennett isn't embarrassed by anything
If and when conflict erupts I'd prefer we didn't cling to their coat tails either, especially given one of our mates warlike tendencies... realistically however given our size and budget clinging to others is our reality, so lets spend our money wisely so ...
lets not compare our spend to that of our allies... and by that I guess you mean the US in particular and lets not even try to keep up with them - better a force that is functional than one with shiny toys we can't afford to service let alone run
the forces are only of value if they have the right equipment and training for the roles needed for not the role they desire to fill - NRT suggests the want list is not fit for purpose
... compared to labour govt in short macho get tough bullshit (No...
I think the point is the govt should have procurement policies that put NZ owned businesses first and should where possible encourage private enterprise to do likewise I know this goes against the modern trend of neoliberalism and globalisation... I'm ...
