Except Act is their excuse for privatising schooling and Seymour is their boy for that.
Those people are as entitled to be as ignorant of labour's policy as any others. Those people are entitled to be brainwashed by the media perpetuating National lies and repeating the material in their scare tactics as others.
Yes.
English says you cannot shop with values? Even when talking about values he shows how poor his are.
The poll must've gone well for National. It's on Kiwiblog within an hour of being broadcast. The Great Informer has been nowhere near as quick when the story hasn't suited him.
At some stage more people have to realise that lying works. Being honest and truthful are old fashioned notions. Unless being sprawled on the road with the boots of liars stomping in your face is still seen as a noble position to be in. How did Turei's ...
Is there as much chance of that as there is of Bill English turning into a teller of the truth?
At least it shows Farrar and Hooton are modern and all that - you know, tweeting and all. Bit sad though, symptomatic of our society that a couple of kids in a sandpit don't actually put the electronics down and just talk to each other.
tracey @ 5:34 pm said that Tracy Watkins says the source of the leak doesn't matter. I just found out that Tracy Watkins works for Stuff. She is described on Linked in as "Political Editor and Parliamentary Bureau Chief, Fairfax Media NZ." If Tracy Watkins...
Things have been quiet on the Paula Bennett front.
Do we have a CEO for NZ, a President or is it a dictatorship? I heard in the background P Gower ask "What is Arden's agenda?" as if she has the ideas, she makes the plans up and whatever happens is her agenda. I thought we had political parties who ...
I see Kiwiblog is not daunted with the announcement, carrying on it's business as chief publicity and propaganda machine for National. The tone is getting more acidic. Indications are that in the Farrar house when results go the right way it won't be the ...
Just listening to Matthew Hooton crapping his pants over the coverage that Jacinda Ardern has had. And at the other end spewing out crap too.
Right, I'll put it in English. (no pun intended) A lot of commenters on various sites yesterday and today went nasty, vicious and personal about Ardern's elevation. I don't know if they will be able to keep it up right up until the election, but on sites ...
Apparently there are WINZ investigators to investigate the doings of Metiria Turei. Have they got enough investigators to check out the torture of grandparents by WINZ staff? http://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/CvU74EGsp8p4dNaDv4XE/full "Experiences of ...
I admire Michelle Boag's ability to do impersonations. I particularly like the fine nuances she can bring to them. She's just been doing an impersonation of a slime-ball on RNZ and was bloody brilliant. What really took it to a higher level was the way she...
Isn't it the Bull English debacle?
Reading the latest stuff about the Barclay affair on Newsroom makes me think the Peter Goodfellow must be the least appropriately named person on the planet.
If a group intent on Dirty Politics signed up in the Labour Party determined to be wooden horses to destroy the party's election chances from the inside, they could hardly do better than the 'intern' shambles in Auckland today. In soccer they have own ...
"Can bullying behaviour be eliminated from our schools? Probably not, people being what they are. But, with the right culture, schools can make it very hard for bullying to flourish." http://www.stuff.co.nz The extent of the problem is measured by how ...
Just in case Steven Joyce is thinking of running with 'Strong and Stable' this year. The end part on here has so many elements which are ours; and his. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M91g4OlGEY
Go over to Kiwiblog - you can have that and more, and more , and more ...
If it gets to the nitty gritty and 50% of each gender is an absolute, there will be some prepared to have another three years of English/Joyce and co. for sticking to the principle. Somehow, doing a lap of honour for getting thrashed in the World Cup final...
Who knows where the problem lies. The reality though is that occasionally there are cases in the news of posties 'going rogue.' Mental health issues, laziness and plain thieving have seemed to be the reasons. google for those and write to the CEO of NZPost...
When I heard the news on the radio this morning about pay equity I knew there would be some negative reaction. I see on the Herald site, "Mike's Minute: Who pays for pay equity? Under this new regime there is simply more money going out for the same work, ...
Yep, that's it, stay on the treadmill. Just move over a bit on the Auckland one , I've got another 30,000 odd joining you.
I just heard the Prime Minister say traffic is so slow in Auckland because of the number of roading projects under way. He's allowed to be a fuckwit. Presuming us to be the same and accept such crap just doubles up his quota of that quality.
"Update: To their credit, as of 11am this piece of nonsense seems to have vanished from The Herald website." You mean they perpetrated a hit and run?
Over the top? "Under the top", well under the top, is the performance of Netsafe. I presume they understand the internet outside of Facebook and understand the Act. Would what's here be here if their performance was acceptable?
Leighton and Hosking rehearsing their act, "Blatant hostility."
"They looked at our capabilities at delivering cutting comment and insight and decided we were best suited to cutting cake and icing."
