So did I. The Labour candidate seems to me like a snake oil merchant. The National guy a stand up dude. This is a non-reactive informed comment. There you go JT, FIFY.

More of a tit for tat unoriginal and disingenuous post is what i see. Try responding rather than low quality reacting.Like a real opinion.
This ad has been running for weeks on H/C. Either JK is involved or he would have had his profile advertising it shut down by now surely.?

I think posters are rather restrained reacting to your posts JT. I would think they would be a bit like me and start typing a reply and then trashing it because they are wasting their time. I doubt very much that your first sentence in post 1171 is the truth as you are so biased towards Labour that you wouldn't bother to listen to anything a National candidate would say.

Ok... 666, minime77, and microme 7., ever diminishing seatbelts:eek2:. Seatbelts have their place though, in a pileup:). Hope you take your helmet off sometimes and do silly dances to get the blood flowing:).
This interview showed a candidate with a generalist knowledge and a slick selling approach, and big ego, with a candidate with an authentic thorough, informed local knowledge and an honesty you cant fake. The difference stark to me in this sniff test despite my bias. I warmed to one and not to the other, thats my experience of the two personalities
Watch: Northcote by-election - Bidois v Halbert
[QUOTE=Joshuatree;717892]JT, don't worry - everybody makes mistakes - even you :p; though calling Halbert "honest" appears to be somewhat Trumpesk :P:

Just wondering - is it common practice in your nick of the woods to make up degrees if you don't manage to earn them?
I think the sooner you allow this candidate to get out of everybody's mind, the better it would be for Labor and for you. I guess - just imagine, people might start questioning your judgement :D;
So - lets keep talking about this honest candidate of high integrity (your words, not mine) ...
So the soon to be acting PM is taking large Government departments and their heads to court. They can apply to the Cabinet he will be chairing, to have their fees paid, even though surely that should be automatic in this case.
Should this silly man not stand down as acting PM while he continues this witch hunt, all because he was found out to be taking Government money he was not entitled to and he knew he was ?
Surely this is a new low, even for Winston Peters. Interestingly he has not renewed his misdirected attacks against National Party people except Paula Bennett as a minister for the department he holds the grudge against. This grumpy old man is totally unfit to hold the office of PM

Lets keep questioning each others judgement for sure , we will seldom agree in this political arena . Hey if you have very 2nd day off , i will too:t_up:
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.

I offered my opponents a deal: “if they stop telling lies about me,
I will stop telling the truth about them”.

Any more fave political jokes.?
Great to hear that Nicky Hager has a full apology from the police over the 2014 raid on his home. And probably a not insubstantial payment as well.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...-of-settlement
The police searched Nicky's home for 10 hours while he wasn't there, after the first hour he claimed journalistic priviledge. But the police didn't find hidden documents, some of the Snowden Papers he was working on. Nicky has protected his Rawshark source and produced a great book in Dirty Politics. Of course the Nats haven't given up on these techniques, trying to smear the PM's partner, until the police were obliged to step in and debunk the situation more recently.
Every day now, we're seeing positive progress towards a more positive political arena. Gerry Brownlee's been caught playing solitaire in question time, he says that's Ok, Simon says it's Ok. Yeah right. If Gerry doesn't find being in opposition interesting enough, he should resign.
I agree EZ - a good outcome
Yes quite amazing isn't it how far they went to try and stop the truth then and in the future.Who would then take the risk of blowing a whistle on an injustice or deceit?. Im getting a copy of that book now. Sad to see national carrying on this way. Dig them out Nicky , expose them for all to see.
its not a new low, its a no

Mr Peters is nearly everything I detest about politics.
But he's not really PM even though technically he is. He couldn't make some outlandish ruling without being over-ruled , Jacinda is pregnant not comatose.
