Ignore the actual point of my comment if you wish. Not my problem. It's yours.
Yeah... 38% voted National 62% didn't. But that's not the point! They are, in actual fact, doing the opposite to what they said they would do. They claimed they were going to solve the health crisis, the education crisis, the economic crisis... military ...
oops... as each agency falls apart,...
" Are NactF the real enemy within?" I believe so. You only have to look at what the individual public service entities are doing across the board. Its a slash and smash exercise doomed to bring about ultimate failure. You can't cut the heart out of a body ...
Its all in the questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLm2X6sFa48&list=RD1EvBS_sbPbc&start_radio=1&rv=1EvBS_sbPbc First 3 mins.
Precisely my response Anne, ideological.
Isn't the exponential increase in Public Service numbers in part at least caused by the exponential increase in immigration numbers over the past decade? In other words, it has been gathering momentum under both National and Labour governments, eventually ...
Anne Salmond: NZ is a democracy, ...
weka @ 1.1 Ideological. Small Government Syndrome. Getting the country ready for privatisation. Greedy, shallow, small minded, stupid, uncaring. No grasp of the consequences, or if they do they don't care.
Yes. A feeble excuse used by certain politicos and tabloid news outlets.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350249067/man-misidentified-bondi-junction-killer-hires-lawyers-sue-seven Good to hear! There's too much of this kind of crap going down and innocent people having their lives and reputations screwed up.
Regularly, Anne, but only so I can see what's going on above the fray :-)
Stuck your head to far above the parapet? :)
It goes back decades Kay and wasn't confined to beneficiaries and low paid/casual workers. Individuals were also preyed upon. Especially if you were a member of the Labour Party and dared to express anti-nuclear sentiments and didn't join the 'Down with ...
Anne have you been looking at Big Hairy News from Dunedin? Not boring.
Boring, boring boring.
RNZ Concert might be 'niche' but it's practically all that's left, and must be saved. As a supporter and listener I wholeheartedly agree. It keeps me sane in Auckland's traffic woes for starters.
Absolutely Anne. Netanyahu understands that what he ...
Thanks to Ad, Stephen D and David for enlightening me.
Shit! I feel for him. Had something similar happen to me, but not over a crime of such a serious nature and it didn't play out in public. It is not only deeply distressing and hurtful, the consequences can play out for years afterwards. He should sue the ...
This attack was in retaliation for the Israeli bombing of the Iranian consulate annexe building adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, killing 16 people. This was part of Israel’s broader campaign to target Hezbollah assets in Syria since ...
Grey Area @10 Have to admit that was my reaction to the latest development too. Israel attacks an Iranian embassy with missiles - or something along those lines - and then loses it when Iran responds in kind. Ya know, if someone came along and punched me ...
Ditto. It took longer for those of us on the outside to recignise what was being done to Clare Curran. She was gaslighted to the point she could no longer function as the able person she had previously been. It is a well known mode of operation among ...
Iran has launched a wave of ballistic missiles towards Israel. A significant rise in tension for the entire Middle East? https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-68737710?src_origin=BBCS_BBC
I love an expert - a real expert - who has the guts to tell it like it really is. That interview should be mandatory listening on every media outlet in the country. And I can just imagine the adjectives he would liked to have used to describe that slime-...
I'm cynical enough to believe you CharlieB. :)
Hi Anne. IMHO, doing nothing is entirely ...
I agree. This situation suits NAct very well. Pretty much no competition any more. TVNZ journalists/reporters will know if they run stories which do not present the govt. in a good light they are likely to be dumped on by this govt., which has demonstrated...
Incog. @12.1 beats lprent on that one.
.... it seemed to me at the time that Southern and Molyneux received more attention by being cancelled than they ever would have by being allowed to speak. There is truth in what you say. Thank-you for the reminder. However some of that attention was the ...
