Do you happen to be able-bodied and dont give stuff about them as well as many other things?
I am able bodied and I do give a stuff. But parity for silly things like sports is just beyond the pale. The pool they compete against is just miniscule, therefore the effort required to achieve is minuscule versus able bodied athletes. Its like comparing apples with panda's. It's not even close. It's more PC BS.
I hope that you too stay away from accidents for the rest of your life.
Yes, finally Labour announces something I can get behind 100%. I didn't read the article but I'm assuming it about scraping gender divisions in all sports and making men and women compete against each other, to give women the hard fought for equality they're after.
Thanks, so do I. If I was injured and a paraplegic, I would not expect equal funding to able bodied athletes for being top of my sport. That would just be ridiculous. As said before, the pool I am competing against is minuscule, so me being an average club level able bodied athlete, all of a sudden would be a top international athlete. Not because of effort, but just because I happen to be a para-athlete.
I welcome a probe on this supermarket duopoly. Compare the competition with the petrol companies, minimal. Look at the increasing house brands eliminating fair competition. Brands paying more for better/any shelf space. Growers put against each other and supplier prices screwed down, with threats of cancellation of contracts etc. Ive noticed the quality and freshness of produce dropping. Ive noticed the " packed on " dates have disappeared on some lines of produce. One cant tell with out opening the bag if its still fresh enough. "Use by dates" not sure atp.
"Jones has been using the protection of parliamentary privilege to accuse Countdown of blackmail and extortion against its New Zealand suppliers, and yesterday gave more details of what he claims to have been told."
Countdown "categorically" denied these accusations.
I'm very disappointed that there is no effort to address the rampant ageism in sport. For example I "compete" against 18 - 30 year olds and there is no way on earth I can beat them on mat time. Labour must bring in compulsory age based handicapping. I'm in an event this weekend and by my reckoning I should get a 1 1/2 hour head start to achieve age based parity at the start. I wonder if I should just identify myself as a woman for the purposes of that event?
This cant come quick enough , especially the loan sharks
Mobile traders who ignore 'do-not-knock' house stickers risk big fines
More detail on the loansharks controls here.
Government cracks down on predatory lenders with fines up to $600k The new law takes particular aim at loan sharks and truck shops.
"The introduction of an interest and fees cap on high-cost loans will prevent people from accumulating large debt from a single small loan. For example, if you borrow $500 you will never have to pay back more than $1,000 in total, including all fees and interest.
Not for much longer

Absolutely we do

Wow that is exciting news. So I borrow $200k for my mortgage and will never have to pay back more than $400k in total. Great stuff NZ First, Labour and Greens. Great savings to be made purchasing houses especially when interest rates get back to the 7-8% levels.
You do know you cant fix stupid? No matter what laws are in place. Did you see this bit "He told of three mums seeking the marae's help, who were all aged in their 30s, had 14 children between them and 30 debts totalling about $144,000" We don't need anti-loan shark legislation. we need compulsory contraception.
I know it has tow words and one of them has three syllables but we really need to teach and hammer home the power of and risk with "Compounding Interest" Financial literacy might be a whole lot more use as an extra subject in the curriculum rather than te reo.
I am totally on board there. I have a friend who has a degree and so does his wife from University. They are as financially illiterate as can be. He earns over 100k per annum but they are living in poverty with debts coming out of their ar se holes. I have tried to educate them and have helped consolidate their loans and it is helping but sometimes you cannot help people from themselves. They then go and borrow money for overseas travel. They had a loan from a bank which they called a low interest loan. The rate .... 15.9%. Really some people are just thick. But if they had had some financial literacy taught in schools it may have helped them. They are intelligent enough in the normal sense to be able to understand things. Just not sure if they are emotionally strong enough to say no to baubles and trinkets.
Kiwi booze will have to carry pregnancy warning labels
Another commonsense action.
More of you cant fix stupid. Women with a half functioning brain know not to drink when pregnant. The others wont be able to read the label. When you are in your 30's and you've got 5 kids to your name already and no idea about debt do you seriously think an alcohol warning label is going to make a difference?
All it means is that sensible people have to be reminded of the stupidity of others every time they pick up a bottle.
Edit: Im waiting for a label that goes on soft drink that say "You are a very bad parent if you feed this sh1t to your kids"
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
There is slick marketing that needs to countered and we need to cater for the least sophisticated and most vulnerable in society. That has been the case since the paleolithic times (yes - remains have been found of severely disabled cavepersons who must have been nurtured by the more able-bodied in their group!)

I am sure Fonterra chief executive Miles Hurrell can give Cindy a handful of tips how to accrue higher losses - and NZ Steel and Bluescope executive Gretta Stephens for sure will know what is best for her Australian mother company. Great selection!
Ah yes - and given that SME's are the heartblood of our economy - there is clearly no need to properly represent them, isn't it?

"To do that we need to work closely with business leaders, share ideas and consider solutions to overcoming barriers together."
A mix of six women and seven men with small to large business experience, from across New Zealand, were selected to provide advice,

Heavy hitters on PM's council
The govt has been listening, thats good.
Another bullsh1t advisory group.
Adern and co have no interest at all in advice from business. Take for example the proposed industrial relations changes. Virtually every business (large and small) said keep the 90 day trial provisions and giving Unions great right to property access (greater even than Police) was wrong. The draft bill went through Select COmmittee and virtually no change whatsoever - none!.
And then you have Labours wage inflation without a tie to productivity. Living Wage and Increased minimum wages will do nothing but shift the burden of Working For Families from taxpayer to business - the SME's eventually giving up because they cant turn a profit.
And what about those in poverdy - wouldn't you let them try to shop in the cheapest market? Oh no says Labour. We are going to tax your overseas purchases.
Yeah pretty much assuming they are self-centered. But even if not, large corporates and SME's operate totally differently. Vastly different markets and vastly different skill sets required. I'm not saying the names are necessarily bad or inept, just wish there was a more diverse representation of the NZ business scene.
They've covered things well. But hey you could do it better ay lol.
"The Government also recently established a 13-member Small Business Council which reports to Minister of Small Business Stuart Nash."
JT - it just confirms Labour sat on their arsis for 9 years doing nothing except pulling in parliamentary pay; entered Government clueless and consequently had set up all these advisory policy groups. Adern says ""I will also be asking the council to gather advice from their peers in the domestic and international business community on some of the most important issues facing New Zealand including how we best grow and share our prosperity, support regional development, and transition to a clean, green New Zealand," . So she doesnt know how to grow and share prosperity (taxing people who do for the benefit of those who dont) will be their plan). I thought Shane Jones had been given a pot load of loot for regional development

Slightly better although how many in that group have actually developed a small business, or grown a small high growth start up, or shown leadership in an area or actually in the VC space, perhaps developed from small a larger sustainable business, then gone on an advise or take private equity positions as investor/mentor...
There is plenty of people out there in this space...
LOL - looks like Fonterror is everywhere - what exactly is a Fonterror GM (and worse - from the shareholders council - this must be the fund fleezing NZ) doing in a SME advisory committee?
Only thing they can do is screw SME (e.g. by forcing them to accept terrible condiitons of payment or go bust), fleezing shareholdes and making losses, and this are the people Labour chooses to represent SME?
I knew that Labour is clueless, but didn't realise it is that bad. JT - just tell us more ;p;
Tell us what you stand for again lol
What do you mean? I assume you refer to my post in the Trump thread, do you?
I agree that the current NZ First (populist) led Labour government in NZ is much better than the current populist Trump government in the US. But liking one more than the other does not mean that I need to like any of them ...
I agree that Cindy & Co are probably well meaning (something I never would assume in the case of Trump and the current sad state of the GoP), but they are unfortunately quite good in hiding that they have any clues how to achieve perhaps good or at least acceptable goals and they are heavily ideological blind sided.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a government with good values as well as the competence to achieve with these values compatible goals?
Like National? As far as I am concerned they are all just as corrupt as each other. But in a NZ context I would support National over Labour as I favour their policies. Not that I think they are any better or less corrupt. That doubles as an answer on the Trump thread.
Ditto blackcap. If anybody thinks the setup taped conversation is a sign of bad politics in NZ, they are naive. What did they think politics was like, whatever party. ? Politics, after all, is all about pushing ones agenda and influence.
I'm always in favour of looking at donations regulations. For example, I don't think its fair that my household pays much more towards Labour (involuntary) than we do towards National, through teacher union fees, without having a say in it.
Teacher Union fees paid from the salary of teachers? Teachers can vote in their union representatives. Business donors pay their donations out of profits derived from selling product and services to the public. The general public pay for all donations in one way or another.
Time to look at a formula and system of spending limits and public financing for political parties set by an independent body? Time to stop the system of private individuals, corporate and union donors buying influence in exchange for donations?
Did you hear me saying that?
I absolutely agree that there are corrupt and crooked politicians in all political parties - at the end they are just a cross section of the general population with all its strengths and weaknesses - aren't they?
Using however the general level of human weaknesses in all systems to excuse the organised and fascistoid crookedness in the GoP and Trumps government is like excusing the unspeakable crimes and murders of the Russian (or Chinese, or Italian) Mafia with the existance of pickpockets in an Italian country fair.
Time to look for the moral compass and / or some calibration ...?
So far I have not seen anything in the current saga that is not matched, or exceeded, in the large end of the private sector, in my experience. And that includes 'inappropriate behaviour' of various types and the language used behind closed doors. Doesn't stop the rumours and gossip though.
Private sector is better at keeping it under wraps, quietly exiting lemons. Unless a PG reaches the employment court. Politicians and senior public servants are always under scrutiny. Managing in a fish bowl.
Jacinda said “The Council will report to me on opportunities it sees and identify emerging challenges. It will bring new ideas to the table on how we can scale up New Zealand businesses and grow our export led wealth.”
Those big hitters might be good at running their own businesses but heck they’ve collectively been at for years but in that time they havent been able to help build a “productive, sustainable and inclusive economy that improves the wellbeing of New Zealanders.” have they.
Maybe these big hitters are part of the problem .....and we look to them to create change.
Maybe Jacinda just buying time ...but seen to be doing something.
Q&A last night had (worrying) interview with Prof Brady re Chinese influence on our politics
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/q-and-a...ne-marie-brady
Answer to last question quite telling - seems quite brave in speaking out.
Cameron Bagrie on the ball with the madness that is interest free student loans. This Clark/Cullen desperate election bribe is costing us dearly https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12149524
Not sure it's that easy. Sure - a student benefits from his/her education and should therefore contribute to its cost. However - a country benefits as well from having well educated physicians, teachers, researchers, engineers, lawyers and so on. This means that part of the burden of education should as well be carried by the country.
Obviously - how much on the country and how much on the individual is a pure political question ... as well as in which form the country contributes. Paying part of the tuition? Paying all of the tuition? Paying the tuition plus maintenance? Paying a percentage of all of above?
Personally - I did enjoy "free" tertiary education (though not in this country) and I suppose you did that as well (though probably not in this country?). I did study a subject which I could immediately use in the workforce and gave my tuition costs (in form of taxes) back to the society.
I think this is a fair schema.
More concerned about the society subsidizing courses which are highly likely to not contribute afterwards to society (because there are not enough relevant jobs). I guess nothing wrong with archeologists, scuba divers, musicians, art historians, psychologists and similar - and if they work in their profession afterwards and pay taxes - good on them. Question is more - is it sensible that society funds many more students in these fields than it is afterwards able of usefully employing? I'd call it madness to subsidize somebody to study something which will send them after completing their degrees on the doll.
Not too concerned about interest free student loans per se as long as students study something useful and sought after in society. But as indicated before - this is more a question of where you stand in the political spectrum, I would not consider a different view as madness - just different.
I agree however that we fund too many students to study things the society does not need afterwards. And we don't motivate capable students to study subjects we need. We fund them all irrespective of usefulness of their studies to society. This is dumb.
First KiwiBuild families welcomed to new Papakura homes
We are off.:t_up:
The demand is such that those wanting to buy the homes had to have a pre-approved mortgage and then enter a ballot.
The musician, Dave Dobbyn, sang 'Welcome Home' to the families while neighbours and representatives from local and central government looked on
I think they did something similar in former socialist East Germany when people received 10 to 12 years after placing their orders their new car (or washing machine).
Isn't it great to experience socialism? A small number of lucky punters migh get a subsidized home ... and the rest stays out there in the rain. I am sure this will motivate voters.
So - they delivered 18 houses - is this right? Where are the other 9,982 houses Labour promised to build more every year?
https://cdn.thestandard.org.nz/wp-co...eet.pdf?x35462
The problem with this policy is that is not at all targeted and over 50% of borrowers move overseas after their education with no intention of repaying the loan. It is very costly for the country and in my view, the money should be put to much better use.
You're right about my education, same situation as yours. We were very lucky.
I guess the issue with people moving overseas would be easy to fix ... just introduce a bond for people asking for a interest free student loan and require them to work for a certain number of years within NZ or pay a penalty (like repaying the forgone interest).
On the other hand - NZ did benefit from my education and didn't pay for it (I worked in my job here for 2 decades or so) and same with the education of say in average 20k other highly qualified immigrants per year who bring their degrees to NZ without NZ having to pay for it.
Why should we not give as well something back to the other countries who educated the immigrants?
The trick would be to make life in NZ more desirable for the right people so that we have a net gain of well educated people (actually - I think we have that anyway) - though admittedly - the current government does whatever they can to get rid of well educated foreigners (applying populist sentiments and policies), but as well getting rid of well educated Kiwis (just watch the falling net immigration numbers - this is immigrants minus emigrants).
Just the beginning my friend. Momentum will build from here.
Read the interview in todays herald "Builder feels right at home"
It states " an ex state house kid is now working with HNZ on a 10 year $30 billion plan to deliver more than 30,000 houses across auckland.Chris Aiken heads the business chosen to manage one of Australsias biggest urban regeneration projects working with HNZC to transform homes on about 1000 ha of state owned auckland land.
The right man for this job.

Good onya Labour. Just what we need as a migrant - a drug smuggling, kick boxer, lying, Hells angel associate.

Shared equity or Co Ownership sounds like a great idea too. With Govt ; and other partners already operating.

Difficult.
I guess if we assume for a moment that we can trust the people who made the decision, than I could think as well about some bona fide reasons for allowing him to stay here. And if there are, it might not be too helpful speculating about them in public.
Question is just - does the current bunch of ministers deserve this trust to make the right decision? Best course of action might be to get a respected retired judge or similar to review and confirm or otherwise the ministers decision.
I'm not going to argue it seems liek a good idea but I look at teh numbers on that first website and cringe. eg
Example of 3-Bedroom House at Tapuwae Way, Mangere Bridge
Asking Price $760,000
- First Home Buyer’s Deposit: $38,000
- Co-Ownership Investment: $190,000
- First Home Buyer’s Mortgage: $532,000
Really - is home ownership a dream we should be spruiking if a person is up for a $532,000 mortgage for a 75% stake in a property. Seriously - I couldn't sleep at night with that kind of debt on that kind of equity. For a start its about $500 a week in interest payments. Then there is rates and insurance and maintenance on top.
Then there's the issue of risk. Why should the NZ tax payer, via the govt, expose themselves to a $190,000 risk that a private individual isn't prepared to carry themselves. That risk is enhanced because I doubt the maintenance part will be done on the property thus it becomes a depreciating asset.
(And thats comments from me without me doing any due diligence on the First Home Buyers Club - which has a few of my red flag of warning sensors tingling))
I can't imagine the reasons for giving this criminal residency should or are "top secret". This most transparent Government in NZ's history (according to the PM) recently criticised the Australian Immigration Minister for keeping secret the reasons for deporting criminals, but here we are using the same tactics to give a criminal residency.
Surely the public has a right to know the reasons for this unbelievable decision.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...ectid=12150741
Apart from risk in shared equity schemes, the money has to come from somewhere and somebody has to pay for the use of it. In the buyers club mentioned, that appears to be the home owner via an unspecified monthly payment. If the government aka taxpayer, who knows?
Rent to buy (lease option) schemes are less common now. Some made a truckload of money from them simply because some lost same. The latter when the lease options were cancelled due to non payment or other breach. They walked away with nothing. For the other party rinse and repeat. I would be wary of the buyers club approach without looking very very carefully into default provisions in the contract.
He is a known associate of Hells Angels, Those guys will be trying to figure out the following trail of questions.
Why did the Govermant give this guy residency?
Did he trade it for something?
What has he got to trade?
Has he traded information about us?
Together with the lenient sentence handed down for previous offending the Tony Soprano of Hells Angels will be wondering if Jan Antolik is his Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero.

Well Jacinda wants us to read between the lines as per her interview this morning. If I read between the "lines" pardon the pun, I infer that this dude may have sold some of the white powder to a certain partner of our leader, and therefore he used the threat of exposure and that is why they allowed him to stay. That is pure speculation on my part but we are told to read between the lines by her Cindy herself, so those are my tea leaves readings :)
Hmm interesting. Its not what I read between the lines. My reading was he supplied labour party events and they need to buy his silence. Its a strategy that worked well with the person who supplied the labour sex camp with alcohol we still don't know who that was despite this being the most open and transparent government in the whole of NZ history.
Take your pick n mix.My guess is he was blackmailing a top allback after providing him with white powder and then photographing said allblack in the snorting act on a bible on the hotel bed with a wanna be senior national female MP.
Be as creative as you want to be, next please.:D
Electric Trains saved after all
Excellent, common sense EV all the way on the main trunk line. Also with Maersk soon to be delivering its cargo for wellington, to tauranga instead, then railed to welly there will be plenty of xtra freight wagons using this carbon reducing service..
No question we will see more of transport, both public and private using electricity which is good news. I just hope, with the upcoming and crazy demise of our natural gas industry, that it doesn't mean we will be importing more coal to keep our power stations going ! That wouldn't be very clean and green.
Even with all the natural gas we currently have, even a 10% increase in the demand for electricity would put our security of supply under some serious pressure. Electric is good, but we need to transition properly and not the way the current COL think we can. They have no idea.
Which have a limited lifespan .. I drive past two dams on the way to work >>
The Roxburgh dam will probably be the first large concrete gravity dam to be decommissioned in New Zealand. The obvious question is, when In 2007, Contact Energy was granted consents to continue operating its dams on the Clutha River for another 35 years. It seems highly unlikely that the reservoir will remain viable until 2042. The most likely scenario is that another major flood will prompt an investigation into the decommissioning issue, but probably only after further significant damage occurs. A major earthquake could also hasten this process.
Decommissioning a large dam is a complex and expensive process that can take decades to complete. The costs involved are significant, and have been estimated at 35-150% in proportion to the cost of dam construction at current values.
Wellington to Tauranga — But electric trains from Tauranga will only be able to go to Waikanae (some way out of Wellington) as Wellington rail network is incompatible with main trunk network.
And doesn’t it seem strange Kiwirail just ordered another 20 diesel locomotives from China
Got operating deficit wider than expected in Q2 ....but like many company announcementsvit will be all honky dory over the rest of the year

Latest ANZ one out today not so good either
https://www.interest.co.nz/business/...ins-low-levels
The Immigration Minister has just told Parliament that he has today been made aware of information that could possibly contradict the information he was given in order to make his decision to give the Czech criminal residency. He is now seeking advice and clarification on this new information !!!
Will the loco upgrade mean they will be able to work under the Auckland area overhead?
Some dude on the internet claimed if the locos in their existing configuration connected to the Auckland overhead they would weld themselves to the rail.
Boop boop de do
Marilyn
I hear that they are reviewing the Sroubek case, it seems he may have been back to the Czech republic and lived to tell the tale
Classic.....pretty scary...https://www.scribd.com/document/3918...-Lees-Galloway
"Although I am satisfied you meet the criteria for deportation from New Zealand" says the Minister. What the heck !
About 62.5% of main trunk line is currently electrified including the approved Pukekohe line.
Short stretches to join still.
Waikanae to P/N , about 1 hour travelling time.
Te Rapa to pukekohe re 1 hour 20 min.
Auckland to Tauranga the most profitable route will be in the mix for consideration. Review to consider more/complete electrification.
Its easy to adjust electric trains to run on different voltages etc.
Simon Bridges signed the order for the Electric trains to be decommissioned, up to 10-15 mothballed. This guy keeps making the wrong decisions!. He and kiwi rail went for standardisation with all diesel and ordered and received cheaper but poor performing chinese locos!.
Electric trainscare cheaper then any other locomotives to run and maintain.
Scrapping electric meant 8.000,000 lites a year of diesel use and 12,000 tonnes of C02.
Kiwis want more freight off roads and on rail.enough of a reason in itself, to reduce our carbon footprint and be responsible and lead by example.
Momentum in Porirua, $1.5 Billion over 25 years
"Ms Adern said the "hugely significant announcements" was expected to see 2900 state homes in Porirua be made "warmer, drier and safer", and there would be an additional 2000 homes - a mix of affordable, KiwiBuild and market properties.
The Government intends to work alongside the Council, community and Ngāti Toa." TV ONE news now
I guess with a 25 years time frame they will be safe. Looking at their current record I doubt this government will survive this term ;);
But seriously - you are talking about warm fuzzy words. Lots of that from the current government. However - given that they are now more than a year in the job, it just would be nice to see some meaningful results instead of promises they never will be hold to account for.
Just curious - are at least the first 18 homes (of the 10.000 every year - LOL) already released? According to the information at the celebration the lottery winners (new owners) still need to wait for a month or so to be able to move in ...
Facts my friend facts, you dont even have conjecture there lol.
Interesting - so you are calling what is at best a political motivated promise a "fact"? This certainly adds a new dimension to using "alternative facts".
Ahh - I got it, you mean it is a fact that she made the promise.
Problem is just - even Cindy's truth record is not anymore impeccable (remember the Clare Curren story?) - and talking about breaking promises, ah well - lets not go there, shall we?
Do you know what a hammer is?
