Does anyone know why? I can't work it out.
Hope they paid the publisher the appropriate fee for use of the song at a fundraiser...
1. I do wonder what effect the trend for people giving up landlines has on these polls. Landlines are something of an option, now, and maybe there is a disproportionate chance of Roy Morgan hitting a wealthy right-winger when calling. 2. I think the Rosill...
Yes, I thought that, too. Christchurch airport security was supposedly sufficient to cope with world-class security risks, but they've had to add an extra door lock (alarm?) and a turnstile, to protect the country from its own government!
What is there left for ISIS? - Wreck our education system? - Trigger a borrowing programme so vast it will take a generation to pay off? - Force a large proportion of kiwis and kiwi families to live on the street, or in cars? - Deprive the country's ...
Well, Anthony, I certainly dont want to disagree with the points you made, but for the gist of what your article is about, I dont think all the blame can be put to Key, McCully & whomever is involved in whichever conspiracy is of the moment. The sad fact ...
"Sieben Scharf" mit mike hoskins und Toni Strasse And in each episode they could play a viewer's request for a clip from their favourite Wagner opera (or the Horst Wessell song)
Key had the wrong person doing his spin for him. I would have hurredly set up a meeting for Key with the Mayor of Townsville and got a free trade agreement between NZ & Townsville (possibly with Townsville taking a maintenance contract on our air force ...
And yet we read that Christchurch airport, which had all the security it thought it needed, has had to put in an extra turnstile at the koru club door, to protect itself from Gerry Brownlee storming the airport again...
All we need now is for the government to bring in a mandatory death sentence for people convicted of attempting euthenasia, and NZ will truly be the laughing stock of the rest of the world. Seriously, when the police can target and detain people for having...
1. Now would be a good time to hold Bill English to account for declaring the extra parental leave bill unaffordable, back in June. If he had to use his power of veto then, how can he talk about affordable tax cuts now? Or did this surplus suddenly appear ...
Our biology teacher at school taught us how to distil our own urine into fresh water using a large pan, a smaller pan, a plastic sheet and a rock. Never thought I'd need to use the knowledge until this article. He also said there is food value in ...
Worse. Douglas made it mandatory public policy. Remember TINA?
Little or Turei (or both) should engage her to teach them how to use social media in an election campaign. If her campaign budget was $9k and she got third from nowhere, she must know something useful.
Siobhan, Kind of what I'm thinking, too. More campaigning will help, obviously, but the key will be what the party is campaigning about. Labour has a history of being innovative in the issues it stands for - things like our nuclear-free stand, equal pay/...
If it's legal for spies to break the law, they wouldn't be breaking the law, but I think I get your sentiment...
It would be a good question for the house in 6 months time: has the police attended every single burglary since the government made its promise to do so in an open letter in the Chinese media?
Clarification: 1. Dont you mean AUCKLAND average income? But, this is still great news for JAFAs - especially those who fancy dipping their toes in the dirt south of the Bombay Hills, where the house-price to income multiplier would have created quite ...
Thanks, I did. Here's a good article from the site: http://keenomics.s3.amazonaws.com/debtdeflation_media/2012/01/TheDebtwatchManifesto.pdf
I'm part-way through a 1932 book by an economist, Irving Fisher, called 'Booms and Depressions'. Too much to summarise, but pdfs of the book are free to download if you search for them. Three points the book makes are very interesting for our current times...
I think I fell in love with Helen Kelly, albeit in a platonic sense, while first watching "Someone Else's Country". Watched clip after clip of suited intellectuals arguing over which economic model was best to subject New Zealand's silent majority to. It ...
Ditto, Bill I struggle to see this as a victory for NZ. 30 or so years ago, the US would neither confirm nor deny nukes on any ships visiting New Zealand. So we said keep away. And we paid a hefty price for our stand. Today, the US isn't saying they won't ...
Who will fill in for the police, while the police are filling in at the airport?
Now, if the government proposes new spending of the same or greater amount (could happen) the opposition can point to this veto and raise a question in the house.
So, if the people at the bottom are getting plenty of help from the people at the top, that must imply two things (at least): First, that the gap between the top and bottom is sufficiently large that those at the top feel moved to do something to help, in ...
"...maybe for plastic buckets at the warehouse it works, but that's about it." What about the USA in the 1920s/30s? Mobsters selling 'green beer' to grocery stores in a truly unregulated market.
Well, can't we all remember the MSM when National would set up those nudge/wink cups of tea with ACT, just before each election? "Oh", the articles would say, "what a risky thing to do. Maybe National just handed the election to the left." No, I don't ...
Glad to sign. During the GFC we didn't make the bailed-out corporates owe back what we gave them. At least, I don't think so.
1. Bill's setting of a difficult (100%) goal probably puts it in the unachievable box, and less likely than a lesser target that is more realistic and worth trying for. 2. Be careful to go to the source of energy to make your assumptions. For example: ...
"...people who rubbish his comments without looking at the evidence". Or, we might add, who don't look at the evidence closely... From the hyperlinked report you provided here: First, have a look at the Important Disclaimer. "No person should rely on the ...
I'm surprised no-one else has objected to the phrase 'shitty little call centre prole'. I know plenty of call centre workers and most are hard workers who put up with a lot of abuse for not a lot of pay - probably from the kind of people who refer to them ...
