I completely disagree gay marriage is social engineering. Quite the opposite in my opinion. Having it illegal for same gender people to live together is social engineering. In the case of gay marriage the church used it leverage on law makers to legislate ...
So, no chance you can list the sustainable socialist economies them - just take a shot at me it's easier and you don't need to admit you've got not one single example to hold up for this 'great product' you've seen fail over and over but want to believe in...
If socialism is a great product then list the sustainable economies that are proof. Perhaps use Twitter because 140 characters will still leave plenty of room for smiley faces etc.
Big state lenders are not a result of the market economy. They are an instrument of state intervention. And they failed.... Gee, wow, it's not like we've had More than a century of watching state intervention fail so we could never have know it would end ...
Of course. The state lenders having been told to lend more to low socioeconomic people then just used them as a convienant excuse..., of course there was no political pressure for the socialist lenders to be more socialist and fail like all well meaning ...
The sub prime mortgage crisis was caused by socialism. Government instructing state lenders to extend their lending to people who would not normally qualify to make social indicator stats look good. The intervention of good intentions in typically flawed ...
Labours vision for the 21st century is pretty much what failed in the late 20th century. Same tired dog shit rolled in glitter and served up as something sparkly and fresh, but it's still guaranteed to fail dog shit. Here in NZ Labour are determined to ...
It might be in the same place that David Shearer has his millions invested. Oh, hang on, that's right Shearer was entitled to his privacy wasn't he. Sorry I forgot the standard double standard.
No, after earning circa $170,000/year for ages by taking money from low paid workers you'd expect him to have more than he has declared. He must be hiding something. We are talking about Angry - right ?
I think Clark could do with some colour, she looks more and more ghostly as she ages.
There is still 28% that think unions taking money from low paid workers so highly paid Labour party politicians don't need to spend their own money campaigning. Wow, lessons from history are completely ignored by that many people ?
Your argument that internet access should be free and guaranteed because the gummit is wanting more done online is bollox. I don't recall a WINZ office being established free and always open outside every house. I don't recall 24/7 police stations at the ...
Aye but it would be even better if NZer’s were guaranteed access to the internet for free in any town or suburb in NZ up to a certain daily limit Free... Guaranteed... Mighty fine idea, let's have everything that costs money to provide being free and ...
Hiding the true state of the books. Hey umm, it's not 1990 or 2008.
At least when Clark screwed up, you could arguably see the logic for why they thought they were in the right. Yes, they only had a written warning from the Chief Electoral Officer telling them it would be viewed as a corrupt practice. Of course with a ...
I hope so. The whole thing is a disgrace.
So if using the leaders budget is against the rules I'm picking that you will be calling for him put parliament into urgency and retrospectively validate his spending. You'll be claiming it shows strong leadership and that it's the correct thing to do - ...
Expat is right, Labour are never to blame, just because the economy has gone into recession every single time they have been in government for the last 60 years - that doesn't give you the right to say they set the scene for this like they have for most ...
You seem to see government as some form of Nanny. Perhaps nanny shpuld bail them out since nanny should have taken care of the poor farmers and failed in her social engineering role of checking they weren't getting into too much nasty debt with nasty ...
You are right CV, nobody held a gun to their heads. The government didn't and neither did the banks. So you blame the banks ? I think the farmers themselves are to blame, the wanted bigger profits and wanted to ride the wave of high prices for all it was ...
Best practice for schooling should be determined by research rather than by ideological experimentation on children. Right, but schools must be state owned and zoned - wow, thank god that's not an ideological experiment on children.
Because in some areas, parents may not have any choice about sending their children to a school that delivers the best education. Are they going to introduce zoning or some other such system that arbitrarily controls the choice of schools ? I hope not, ...
Because no real steps were taken. Exactly, other than bailing out "too big to fail" corporates. Corrupt much !
Helen Clark who has performed outstandingly in her role as head of the United Nations Development Programme is said to be sounding out support for a campaign to secure the role. You guys also said she performed outstandingly while PM in NZ. Of course to ...
Haha good one dv.
RedLogix If the National party need to kill off a court case to keep their leader in parliament - I'll be back onto that line of dissent against them too. But I suspect you'd be defending them and claiming it's ok like you did with Labour. It's not like ...
Pravda
There is a reason why no opposition fully rogers bias reporting and that's because when they are government they use it themselves. Be careful what you ask for kicking bias out of the media. It wasn't that long ago that virtually all governments completely...
That thing Cullen couldn't bring himself to do. Adjust tax thresholds so the the stated policy intention of 1999 to make the top 5% of earners pay more tax was kept rather than just fleecing as much as possible from as many as possible.
I'm flattered it's all about me. This mild little seasonal recession we had, I think you're rewriting history calling it that. Perhaps, since I didn't use any bold or italics or block quoting, you could respond to that ?
Linda That's all quite valid, but you seem to be ignoring the root cause issue here; Why do you think your key government needed to borrow $88b ?
