Ryan Ward explains our precarious position that we find ourselves in with the ruthless new Government. Luxon uses Reagan’s playbook in blaming welfare recipients The National Party has a useful bogeyman to blame for the failures of a political and economic...
Cunning but probably legal -just. Big coal company bought West Coast election campaign Unhappy with a policy banning more mining of conservation land, Bathurst Resources paid $32,600 for a candidate who knocked out the veteran Labour MP Damien O’Connor by ...
Kat Ha! If only.
Who has shares in Bluebridge? Willis? Luxon?
But this Government hates Centralisation. They are turning water control back to each council. Or was that just to oppose the previous governments plan? Ad your exposure of just how much we have lost from Local Government is eye opening. Never thought of ...
Yes Patricia. Saw that. Facts? Data? Not from the Government. Just Outcomes.
The Morgan Poll? Roy Morgan’s New Zealand Poll for January 2024 shows the new National-led Government (National, ACT & NZ First) with a majority of 51.5% (unchanged from December) with a large lead over the Labour-Greens-Maori Party Parliamentary ...
There is a rumour going around that Luxon's sister in law works for American Tobacco. Don't know how to link to Instagram but she is Barbara Luxon and is their Marketing Manager living in Christchurch. Remembering the anger poured on the Maori Minister for...
Well done Micky.
Trump may get back in because of the divisions that he created. (Polls indicate this.) Luxon may get back in because of the division that he helped create
A funny story from Newsroom by Margaret Mills. Sounds to be true but??? One morning during the weekend the line for coffee was out on the street and not very fast moving. Part way down the line stood our local bald-headed politician (the same one who has a...
Golriz, the book by Steve Braunias.The best coverage of a woman in distress. A great read. https://newsroom.co.nz/2024/01/24/golriz-the-book/?utm_source=Newsroom&utm_campaign=96e5c2bcbf-Daily_Briefing+24.01.2024&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_71de5c4b35-...
No Right Turn has an alarming message re taxes on E-cars: ....EVs pay road-user charges. "But they're making the e-cars pay tax at twice the amount an equivalent modern vehicle would pay in petrol excise tax: https://norightturn.blogspot.com/2024/01/from-...
No Right Turn has strong words for Willis claiming that the previous government had cooked the books and left the new government with a financial mess to clean up. It was a serious allegation from Willis but ... https://norightturn.blogspot.com/2024/01/...
No-Skates. You describe the realities of being human so well. Thankyou.
A terrible consequence from this may be that the miserable bastards who attacked her might feel emboldened so turn will turn to - who next? I think also that some MPs don't give a toss about what people think of them because they are un-empathetic people. ...
Saddened for Golriz. People like her are needed to help reform our world. Best wishes for her recovery.
Wonder where they had their meeting?
Sweden, and Norway also has a great response: Sweden:"Sweden's non-punitive sentencing model must be working because the overall reoffending rate in Sweden is only 10-40%. Post-prison support is another strong reinforcement for keeping ex-offenders from ...
One of the Western European countries developed a deal with MSM that they would cease catastofreonising (?) the bad news. They also set about increasing rehabilitation in prisons and reducing the punishments in prisons. The prison population halved and the...
Nicola Willis. Show Me The Money!! Show Me The Money!! Show Me The Money!! That cost Labour an election it was said, so what about you?
OOps. copy lost its alignment. Someone fix? Surely National didn't leave 155 fiscal cliffs behind in 2017 - did they? A selection of "Fiscal Cliffs" left by National in Budget 2017 by Thomas Coughlin Table with 3 columns and 12 rows. 2017/18 Budget $'000 ...
Thomas Coughlin has done a great job of analysing the "fiscal cliffs" which Willis will hammer today to justify her claims. Thomas has gone through the last Budget line by line and comes up with no support for her claims. Nick Rockwell quoted Thomas: “I’ve...
True BG. But I suspect that Luxon calculates that if he wafts pro climate change rhetoric, he can go ahead and do the opposite and no one would notice. He has a belief in just how clever he is compared to we peasants and anyway he has a supportive god in ...
Marlborough used to be Leftish but the boundary was shifted down to just north of Rangiora and now known as the Kaikoura Electorate, even dopey Stuart Smith wanders in with an 11,000 majority, just like FPP.
The maximum speed on that road is 90k. Parts are less than that. Yes to the hugely reduced accident rate. I travel the Blenheim Nelson road each week and reckon the traffic flow is much smoother and cars seldom overtake each other. Wonder why.
Thats odd. Just watched Parliament on Demand. Government had at least 4 Patsy questions and "Sorry this does not exist" for 3 questions. Chris Hipkins, Camilla Bellich and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer from the Opposition did not replay yet their questions had ...
And their huge skill in managing things and getting outcomes.
Yes thanks Ed. Verity sums it all up so well.
Well said SPC. I think I can hear Ruth Richardson cackling.
Thanks Ad. A clear credible study on pros and cons. It seems even more surprising that Luxon doesn't seem able to see the consequences of his actions. Perhaps his god is guiding him?
