Recovery of Pike River remains to be abandoned.

Yet another broken promise - after spending double the original budget and making an undertaking that the recovery of the remains is the primary objective .

Should have never made the promise in the first place. Kiwibuild & CGT all over again - amateurs & incompetents spending taxpayers’ money with abandon to deliver nothing.

Add Andrew Little to the list of incompetents in the cabinet. Shouldn't surprise. He was the genius that thought doing away with Presumption of Innocence in sex crime trials was a good idea. Until the Law Society and anyone else with a brain told him to pull his head in.

Jacinda v Boris: Tony Blair's right-hand man rates the response


"Looking around the world, it is interesting how many of the leaders who score closer to 10 than zero, are women; not just Ardern but Angela Merkel in Germany, Tsai-ing Wen in Taiwan, Erna Solberg in Norway, Mette Frederikson in Denmark, 34-year-old Sanna Marin in Finland. And, although Scotland has also had too many deaths, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has seen her standing rise during the crisis, as Johnson has seen his fall."

Women on top, just for unbalanced and komRADJonu. Get polishing guys

I guess Belgium is the winner with the women PM they have too. Well done Ms Wilmes.

I would never be so blindly bigoted and sexist as to associate anyone's prowess to their gender JT. Shame on you for even alluding to one's gender having anything to do with their capabilities.

Another blow to the education sector brought about by Cindy's lot

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/edu...af-and-must-go

Cindy and her Cabinet of incompetents have actually managed to piss off teachers...normally a stronghold for Labour. Note in the article that the changes to the Teacher's Council were brought about by Cindy's mob.

Flood of redundancies post lockdown to L1 & expiry of first tranche if wage subsidy - totally expected after the callous way Comrade Cindy & her incompetents provided zero direct financial support for businesses.

There is going to be a lot of pain, hurt and despondency in the next 3 months when the unemployed finds there’s simply no jobs out there.

Iceland another one with Ms Jakobsdottir the PM. But the countries mentioned here, Germany, New Zealand, Taiwan, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Belgium, Finland are all rich law abiding societies with a strong social fabric so I don´t think gender comes into it. The Nordic countries for example have largely left politicians out of the day to day management of the virus response and left it to the professionals, unlike NZ where it has been milked for political purposes.

I watched one news tonight and see the government has given Whale Watch Kailkoura $1.5 million. Somewhat intrigued I searched the Employer wage subsidy database which disclosed a transfer of $456000. I also searched the charities register which disclosed Whale Watch Kaikoura is a Registered Charity.Which presumably means they have no tax on their profits and only tax liability of course would be GST.
Just something to ponder I guess
