This is truely frightening for New Zealand, well beyond the impact on workers. I bought a tin of Woolworths peas last week. They were from France. I wonder how many are being shipped here this week?
If we get anything! Six ships to Australia already diverted to other customers and South Korea, a key NZ supplier, is restricting fuel at home. But don't worry, Nikki Noboats knows what she is doing.
So we're flying two planes to somewhere other than Iran, to collect New Zealanders stuck in Iran, and then we're going to fly them to somewhere that's not New Zealand? The government is certainly working hard on this one.
I wonder if their investigation will find, as in the White Island investigation, that lives could have been saved if Worksafe had been doing its job?
And we paid them millions to do it.
Depend on which translation you read.
And John Key made the same promise when he sold off our generation assets. National have a consistent track record of long term damage to a strategic industry.
Every time Destiny hits the headlines I am reminded of the parallels between Brian Tamaki and Jim Jones, . Both started out introducing effective community programmes. But both became increasingly paranoid and convinced the state was against them. We know where Jim's followers ended up.
I wonder how he is going to represent his city, when he is so selective about who is a worthy person and who is not.
And you can guarantee it will quickly ditch New Zealand, to manufacture in the UK.
Things are desperate when Winston is the answer.
They'd have to pay me a lot more than that to visit America. And I couldn't take my phone.
Has anyone heard from our Prime Minister? He promised he would be back at work days ago but seems to have disappeared. Hope he is OK - but at least we have Winston to lead the country in his absence. Doesn't that give you comfort.
But he is still the President of the United States of America. Stop posting and do something before he ends the world with WW3.
As a MMH user, I have not been advised by the company of ANYTHING! The website has been updated with lots of weasel words about communication priorities - but they have my email address and could have emailed me days ago.
Was certainly true when I lived in Dunedin. 25 minute bike ride and I could easily spend that driving in circles trying to find a park near the University.
If they are grown in New Zealand they are worth every cent. Getting enough hobbits to pick them is very expensive. And remember, we have to fund bolt holes for your billionaires like Peter Thiel to escape to tax-free - and that means more hobbits to dig the holes.
Fake news. Trump ended that war weeks ago, along with 8 others.
Didn't you know there are special rules for black SUVs in New Zealand? They can park anywhere they like because they're special.
Beautiful, sunny morning here in Pegasus. At 8.30, its 23degrees.
We dont want her.
Why hasnt the Labour Party done anything new?
I didn't know that you had tried my mother's cooking.
In the 60s i went to Totara School in North Otago. Us of European descent were in the minority then to local Maori and kids from Chinese market garden families. It was great!
Be fair. At least they didn't shift it 30cm to the left so as to totally block the view and the footpath. Let's be thankful for that at least.
Specially with the quality of ministers in New Zealand. Who would trust Simeon Brown, Mark Michell, David Seymour (or any of them)?
That was one of the most embarrassing things I've seen for a long time. The cabinet of New Zealand's government lined up for a photo op, hustling for a business which is going to kill locally made competitors. Do they have any idea of the damage they are doing?
That's not my experience. We love them in this house. All plastic storage seems to discolour with some food stuff. We line the Sistema with a freezer bag when freezing stew and bolognaise. Once frozen, can lift the bag out and keep using the unstained container.
Shame they didn't listen to submission concerns relating to the Regulatory Standards Bill.
Dunedin's stadium has almost bankrupt the city, syphoning money from basic services to meet the debt repayments and subsidies for running costs. The stadium can't even afford to pay its rates, and no money is being put aside for depreciation.
