Public sector v public service. Swat up on the difference.
Did you read the bit about Ireland, with a comparable population? Waiting for Philip to support his ludicrous claim. Thought you demanded links, even for mundane statements like parliament oral questions? [I was in town, on my phone, you numpty. Now that I...
Still waiting for the link to support your frankly ludicrous claim.
How inconvenient that you can’t read the second link. It says the complete opposite of your unlinked bullshit.
Radio nz reported today that we spend one third (per head of population) of the amount australia spends on their public service.. Without a link to support, even a basic sniff test would suggest that statistic is bullshit. A quick google search supports ...
I’m surprised that they are only looking at average cuts of around 6.5%. Maybe this is just round 1 so as not to scare the horses too much.
If you cut the hyperbole from your post @ 4.2.1 we are essentially saying the same thing, so not quite sure what your point is?
have you even studied UK politics since the GFC? Yes, extensively.
In Starmer there is an acknowledgment that in most western democracies the majority oscillate around the centre. When there is a desire for change there might be slight movement to the right (as in NZ) or a slight movement to the left (as there will be in ...
It gets worse. This from the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lancashire-68707225 Sounds like the UK Labour Party wants centralised control. Now where have we seen them try that before?
No problem. My boss said there are some very nice but expensive accessories you can get for a Tesla. He showed me a video of the techno coloured light scheme you can get for the thing. Very impressive. He certainly appreciated the tax payer subsidy.
Take your point but not exactly helpful when, for example, last year my wife's $3000 Damio breaks down and we struggle to afford a replacement while my boss on over $200000 buys at Tesla significantly subsidised on the tax payer dime. I think that is the ...
A well put together and considered response to the Op-ed. Like it or not, this is what the left is up against. Generically, the biggest difference between the left and the right at the moment is the right are listening to what the people want, the left ...
Indeed. I’d understand if the reference was to something obscure. But FCOL oral questions with a specific date reference.
Middle NZ/swing voters have a choice, and atm they're fucked off with the left in multiple ways and we still think the solution is to mock them and tell them they are wrong. That's why we are losing the culture war. Wow, so close to home, but never was a ...
Evidently not.
Oral questions are easily found. Here are yesterdays. Note 3,4, 6,8 and 9. https://bills.parliament.nz/v/11/aca78f3d-dca7-4996-3cd3-08dc4dd01dd1
On the contrary, it allows the minister to talk about whatever they want. It also does not serve the public well where question time seeks to hold the government to account by asking probing questions about government policy. It looks like a feeble fishing...
Tuesday there were four “does the minister/PM stand by all their statement and actions” type questions from the opposition at question time. Yesterday five. Today another four. These are such a free hit for the government to take the conversation where ...
I’m disappointed in this story on two levels (1) the political capital Act is trying to make and (2) the general reporting on the matter by a defunct MSM in NZ. I’m up at the university as a mature student two days per week. I’ve seen the signs. What most ...
Same question I asked not 48 hours ago. will you threaten to ban yourself too?
To carry on the analogy, watching Hipkins at question time and his speech this afternoon, he’s certainly lost his fire. Queue the leadership speculation - IMO that will be Labours headline over coming months … but who?
The fact he was about to make a speech had bigger headlines than the speech itself across all three MSM websites. Nothing new to say. Opportunity lost.
Well said alwyn.
You and me the same it would appear 😊 Not sure if that makes me cloner or clonee. if I were to have my time again, think one thing I’d ask for is a more exotic name. Been too much confusion with a common over the years 😊
Suggest you pause, engage the brain and don’t jump off the deep end with wild accusations about affairs (would link to Wekas comment on this point yesterday, but since been deleted ) and such like next time, unless you know how to swim.
... case, so much more simple. Rose / Rosemary is a very common... went by my shorten name, Rose. Didn’t occur to me...
In my experience (and based on a sample of 1), their radar is 100% wrong. And frankly, I’m the only one in a position to categorically say the accusations levelled against me are totally false. None the less SPC appears to continue to persue them without ...
continuing on with the same issue is rapidly becoming harassment yes, you’d think wouldn’t you.
To SPC at 5.1.1.1, no. I’m not going to make any such demands of the mods. I suspect they have quite enough to do without perusing you further down your rabbit hole.
