100% of my personal and business banking is with a 100% NZ-owned bank. Made the switch when I became aware of how much profit Australian banks were extracting from NZ. That said, it was easy to do as my business banking needs are largely transactional. If ...
If you ever needed evidence of how sick humanity is... it's all right there.
Doing over the country is a stressful pastime if it's not going your way.
"The truth is we are screwed" The only option available to us now, in the face of this, is adaptation. If we cannot proactively descale our society ourselves (and I don't believe we are capable given the magnitude of what we are dealing with), the Earth ...
Just the reality in general... doesn't matter what the subject is. Tony at 5.2.3 captures it nicely.
"The fact that he refused to speak volumes". Yep... sometimes silence shouts louder. National are in this up to their necks. From a political management perspective it's been a clusterfuck from the beginning... with no end in sight. Bridges days as ...
And he likes to tell us why. His vocabulary is so limited we're just about able to play Simple Soimon Bingo.
Bridges sure talks a lot about "the reality"... yet all I get is a picture of him being on another planet from everyone else. A bit like his mentor...
It's not a Nazi base... get your facts right! It's an alien base! :)
Ha! Mine's Earth Monkey too... but happy in Space... :)
I think you'll find Paul Holmes was referring to the then-United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan as a "cheeky darkie".
This will be aimed at business executives and wealthy individuals. It should read "...free people who can afford it from the constraints..." And the emissions statement is a last minute thought of benefit. It wouldn't have been a sought for outcome.
I read Ed's comment as "which side [within National]..." so yeah, absolutely... I reckon implosion has a much nicer dynamic to it than explosion, perhaps because it's cleaner.
Will there be any Bridges to cross?
Already sold, paid in yuan.
Should've used a burner phone.
Repair the planet...?? What would Mother Nature be repairing exactly? Might that be reining in a population of humans vastly exceeding sustainable numbers? A human population rapaciously consuming and misusing her resources? A human population industrially...
I think it's a pretty good assumption given how quiet Simon's gone over it.
I think it's difficult to say. As someone else on here pointed out a while ago Tova's a student of Patrick Gower's gotcha school of political reporting. So she may more interested in looking for the headline oppotunities wherever they come from, rather ...
No it wasn't... it was a different kind of hard. As long as there are people who desire power over others there will be struggle.
If those books are too dry for some people (and the reality is that for many they are)... start talking about it. That's how we've done it for tens of thousands of years. Somewhere, perhaps around the 80s, it became a social no-no to discuss politics. ...
And I would look more closely there at English.
Fletcher Building is not a NZ-owned company... hasn't been for some time. A quick scan of their largest shareholdings (58%) is a who's who of foreign investment banks.
Me too.
Something like that doesn't require legislation DTB. It's an operational matter within DIA, who run VIP Transport. At a guess it may be an inter-departmenal charge in play between DIA and Parliamentary Services.
And here I was thinking that "road show" was paid for by the National Party... silly me! Anything from the Taxpayers Union on this...? *Crickets*
Or is that cheque... mate!
Well then... she's either the Messiah or she's Undead. Pretty sure she's not the Messiah...
Interesting percentage and not a coincidence, methinks. The other 99% are probably too busy trying to make ends meet each day.
It started in 1825 under the New Zealand Company and has never stopped. The only material difference between then and today is that the country of origin of the corporate colonisation is no longer just Britain and the natives of New Zealand getting shafted...
Isn't denying the contractors/workers to get their tools effectively theft?
