My wife and I worked our arses off for Labour this last election. None of the present candidates look to unite the Labour Party of old. We might go fishing instead. Head office has much to answer for. When local candidates in the Christchurch area spend ...
Key's mike was definitely up. That is bias. Overall, I don't think too many opinions would have changed tonight. Not a win for Cunliffe, but Key I find awful!!!!
Has push polling started yet? If you get called as to political preferences, sound a little ambivalent... not sure.. etc. You may get a followup call with "Are you sure? " "Really? I'm surprised!" when you mention parties not to their liking. The Brethren ...
For the disallusioned Nats in Kaikoura there is a simple solution: party vote Nat, and local vote to the very able and competent Janette Walker. Her pedigree of 17 years as nurse, and then long farming experience is compelling. Her success at mediation is ...
I remember Sir Edmund Hilary and various other respected Kiwis came out against Muldoon in favour of Bill Rowling. Sadly the RSA, the golf club and rugby bozos were offended and Muldoon got in and wrecked NZ for at least a generation. I only ever argued ...
I wish I was wrong but there are some people in our political universe who fulfil the requirements of being a psychopath. The cartoon characters probably don't relate but the symptoms are very relevant. http://www.wikihow.com/Identify-a-Psychopath
Calm, understated, positive. Excellent.
The drip, drip, drip of parcels of emails confirming Hager's credibility will be a death by a thousand cuts. It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch!
I can't believe TV3's Paddy Gower deeming Hager's revelations of the Whaleoil-Ede-Key trifecta is not as damaging as the Snowden leaks might have been. The lies and slime that Key has made out he is not involved in will resonate amongst many Nats who ...
Brilliant song and compilation!
We've had a few problems with the AI on this one: the eyes go strange; he can't shake hands and he lies all the time. I'll just fiddle with the energiser battery!
How is that Steven Joyce gets to comment on everything? I have given up watching TV1 news for its bias and TV3 is not much better. Somehow Joyce gets to comment on everything, especially new announcements by Labour. The guy is a cretin who has been trained...
Thank you Joe90. My search for Key + lies highlighted just how far the NZ public has been deceived by his blatant lying. Cunliffe is hammered for a series of minor transgressions, but Smile and Wave and Lie thrives on them. Team Key is the ultimate set up ...
Some time back, someone documented Key's lies. It was an impressive list, and clearly lots more could be added from over recent times. I have searched archived files but cannot find the link. Could some kind person give me the link.
The latest wisdom from the Ministry provides one football field for 1000 boys. In a sports mad, catch all provincial school, the proposal to merge the two Blenheim Colleges on the one MGC site leaves very little space for 12- 18 year olds. Education is not...
Go Rachel. Your background experience and potential for NZ's future is great. I am so sorry that Janette Walker, the Kaikoura Labour candidate is not with you. NZ needs strong women and strong rural representatives. The list process has major weakneesses. ...
Interesting call from Hilary Clinton today giving Australia a slap for expecting the US to defend it but at the same time giving China considerable preferences. Any simularities to NZ??!! Key has the same feet on separating icebergs. What happens on D-Day...
Sue them all: Key, National Party, NZ Herald, Whaleoil. It might even pay for Labour's election campaign. The 150,000 may not have been dollars?? Yuan perhaps!!! I feel a new film coming on, starring Jonkey in "Lost in Translation"!
Is it Hon or Con? When will the NZ electorate wake up to the rip off that the NACT has enacted?
Fis, if national standards are so good, how come private schools and charter schools do not have to do them? The insanity is they are neither national nor standard, and have nothing to do with excellence. If you are talking about union mafia bosses you ...
No development of story on Campbell tonight. Fascinating! Who is setting up who?
Look to Kaikoura as well for another outstanding Labour candidate, Janette Walker, who has led the charge, very successfully nationally, against the banking rort of swaps that has affected so many rural folk. The local Nats, especially in North Canterbury,...
How is it that TV3 has Campbell positively pushing for answers in areas that concern the average Kiwi, and at the same time they employ an egocentric nutcase who failed as a National party candidate, was dropped from TV1, failed as a personality in ...
While the mud flies at Key and Collins concerning the Oravida dinner, etc, I received a note from a friend in China which puts an important perspective: ' I'm aware there has been a lot of publicity about the trade with China, especially in the areas of ...
Their first response is to lie. Their eyes change: how dare they question my version of reality! He is another psychopath like his leader. Cleckley's symptoms follow: Superficial charm and good "intelligence" Absence of delusions and other signs of ...
Sorry to see Stefan Browning possibly demoted. Always speaks sense; he gives crediblity to Greens philosophy.
Fear and loathing in New York City.
Key's "Can't remember what he thought about the Springboks tour in '81" completely destroyed any credibility or integrity re South Africa and Mandela. However, as PM he received his invite, and proceeded to milk it Don Brash style, refusing to add Minto or...
Fascinating how the MSM have little to say about the result. It is as if there was no byelection. If the trend had slightly favoured the Nacts, it would have been headlines.
Factor in many of the priviledged hide their family incomes behind trust accounts, etc, and so qualify for student allowances at uni. My lads ended up with $60,000 loans!
Fascinating fight for NACT party nomination in Kaikoura. Incumbent Colin King is a nice enough guy but seen to be ineffectual on local issues. He does what Head office says. Missing in action on issues such as the local hospital worries. Sat with Aaron ...
