He did not go for re-selection.
Seen on NBR in the comments about Richard Branson's need for a bailout: The following NZ rich listers have put in for chump change through the wage subsidy scheme.... Wyborn Management: $42,000 Cook Property Group: $21,000 Tournament Group $127,000 Bob ...
You forget that Labour, being in power, is by definition enabled by NZF. Unless you are suggesting they would be more productive in opposition (entirely possible)?
So basically a threat, to force people into low-ball "private sales".
"It’s not fair ... to those ... living next door to these drug users" - that's a fair point. Not all drug users are problem neighbours and not all problem neighbours are drug users - but it's basically impossible to get any help with problem neighbours and...
Hmm, paranoid rantings don't tell me anything about this supposed story.
Yes, well, electorate votes should be STV...
The sign your life (or at least privacy/data rights) away scheme? The one that takes months to kick in, prohibiting a first visit in the first place??
But not actually addressing the core inaccessibility of the community services card - if you don't receive any benefits now, maybe you just don't want to deal with winz or maybe you're not entitled to any but still earn under the threshold for com card, ...
A mountain. Yeah ok, election promises all done and dusted are they, we can move on to nice-to-haves? So when can I afford to see a doctor, then???
So the insult is that the person hasn't grown up = somehow sexist???
"So name calling , deflection and going off topic is part of Parliaments ” cut and thrust ” , is it?" - I don't watch parliament TV often but I can't recall seeing anything else.
Health treatment isn't remotely free??? I agree that it should be,
Intersection meshing: if all cars were automated there'd be no traffic lights, cars could mesh through intersections with almost no slow down required. All traffic would run a lot smoother with a lot less traffic jams. Also if all cars were driverless then...
"As costs for everything go up year by year then obviously you have to increase taxes (if larger tax base doesn’t produce enough funding) to maintain public services at current levels." See, if this is true, then eventually we'd have to have a 100% tax ...
They're just parroting the CTUs press release as far as I can tell. Sadly I don't expect much better from media these days.
Yeah but they're not even questions, especially with that poor grammar.
:LMAO:
Hmm why do the elderly want higher taxes? Could it be they already have wealth (house, car) and want the young to pay for their pension? And what will happen to the young when they're old, now that wealth is exponentially harder to accumulate? And what ...
In a terribly formatted slideshow that gives bugger all info.
Exactly. NZTAs fairbox requirements affect all regions and makes even bus travel unaffordable to run. Labour want to spend billions on trains and let bus service further degrade - urgh.
Ok but public transport in christchurch is fucked, and Labour haven't restored ecan to a democratic regional government nor have they restored public transport funding cut by National.
We have social workers in New Zealand?
If they couple that with continuing the farebox requirement bus lines that low income users actually use will disappear. And their definition of "low income user" will likely have so many hoops that many on low incomes will have no access, like the ...
Are they reducing the LTNZ 50% farebox requirement for public transport? If not ECAN will continue to slash and burn and public transport use will continue to decline.
I don't know what the Clinton Foundation is, but churches get automatic charity status - and I agree that they shouldn't.
Greenpeace are anti GMO and anti glyphosate, so hardly science based rational environmental advocacy in the public good. They should get whatever status cults get.
It's not a lie if you believe it, and this is a common enough speech condition that I'm perplexed the progressive left would react in such a way to disability. Disgusting really.
Lists are published prior to election, so people /are/ currently voting for the people on a parties list. Changing party vote to effectively a blank cheque of seats does fundamentally change our democracy.
And Labour isn't a a vehicle for Unions? This is MMP now anyway, no party should try to represent everyone.
So what's the difference between sanctions and boycott?
