Southland is what they call "another country". They do things differently there ....
With you all the way on dairying. I've come to really hate what they do to cows (and have done, particularly the grotesque results of selective breeding). Oat milk, though pricey by comparison, is a pretty satisfactory substitute in drinks and pouring on ...
My bad too, Weka. I could do with more time for preliminary fact-finding, tbh.
Have the Scottish Greens been captured by GI ideologues the same way as the wider UK party apparently has? (See https://thestandard.org.nz/chris-hipkins-values-matter/#comment-1993957) If so, I think it would be unwise to take any lessons from them.
I think the question should read: what will ECAN be allowed to do? (Without being sacked and replaced by a compliant commissioner or two.)
After all that time around politics (including the "dirty" era), she ought to have been able to sense that she was being set up to fail - and turned the job down.
Sixteen years in the House, and this is all it amounted to? She'll be no loss.
Is either of them a smoker, or an ex-smoker? Just askin'.
No, he's Hypocreti.
Yeah, something in that. Attack the characteristics they can change, not the ones they're stuck with.
Obviously been taking lessons from his minister of "communications". A ratio of that adverb even higher than she usually achieves.
Real estate shouldn't be considered part of the economy at all. It doesn't generate wealth of itself; it's just a mechanism for redistributing it.
NZ Centre for Political Research The rule seems to be: the more harmless-sounding the name, the more maleficent the organisation is.
Add Marlborough DC, Nelson CC and Westland DC. Port of Tauranga and Talleys give one pause as well.
"a …. gang emerged within the state Labor Party" That already was history repeating itself (cf the NZ Labour party's nest of vipers in 1984).
Wa-hey! Next thing they'll be restoring the chocolate ration to 20 grammes.
"No parliament is bound by the prior." Is this true, though? What happens when we want to exit some onerous international treaty or contract which the previous administration has committed us to?
Yep.
I think if you take the religions out of it and substitute toxic masculinity, it all starts to make a lot more sense. The former, in all their manifestations, may have begun with benign intentions, but sooner or later they all get corrupted and turned to ...
While on the subject of site admin: in the last two days, clicking on the headline of various articles has taken me straight to the "Leave A Comment" box. No biggie (one can always scroll up), but thought I'd mention it.
I'm starting to think the real problem is not the understandable anger of the people to whom "hate speech" is allegedly directed, but the rent-a-minders who are only too eager to get angry on their behalf, and who believe they're doing something righteous,...
Sounds as though no-one should have any truck with this lot (they're operating in NZ, so be warned - not that many on this forum are likely to be clients). https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/apr/10/im-a-victim-of-scammers-but-revolut-says-no-to-a-...
Sounds as though too many people knew what was going on, and some were busy hatching plans even as those deliveries were being made.
See recent comments about that Bill in yesterday's Daily Review. The Greens were genuine, and good on them, but those other two parties were just being cynical poseurs.
"Glad to do me friends a favour, doesn't cost me to be nice. But nothing gets you nothing, everything has got a little price." I have to admit the same suspicions were aroused in me before I'd even finished reading the OP. They can pose as righteous folk ...
Unlikely to stop "Hogsbreath" doing it again some time.
Well there's one spot of good news in all this darkness: Reality Check Radio is off the air and having to rattle the old begging-bowls (you'll need to scroll down a fair bit): https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350239818/live-tvnz-officially-cancels-fair-go-...
I believe body-shape has to come into it somewhere. No-one who went through puberty as a male and/or still has functional male genitals should be allowed to colonise spaces reserved for cis-women, against the occupants' will. No male-bodied people in ...
Was the chocolate ration increased to 20 grammes, or reduced from 30 grammes to 20? Who would be able to tell?
Yes, of course we have all those possible actions, but how do you get a largely ignorant populace to see the need for them? The current socio-political climate (pun unavoidable) makes it impossible to deploy them. Measures on that scale, with the ...
They should ban protium hydroxide - it's well known to be capable of dissolving more stuff than any other solvent.
