As I said this is carrying Identity politics culture war from the USA to here. NACT are doing this because they are ordered to do it by the political groups in the USA (the oligarchs basically). In this case Winston is the codpiece for the legislation. Next time it will be Seymour. They are just doing what they are told, obeying the people who pay them.
I decided that tomorrow I am going to eat some middle eastern food tomorrow and create a woke explosion so loud David Seymour will hear it and send his anti woke army after me.
I am going to eat couscous, bulgur, hummus, parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers, dates, and use all kinds of woke spices like sumac, cumin and cardamom. I am going to drink pomegranite juice, and espresso and maybe even a chai latte. I think I might even wear some middle eastern clothing if I have anything resembling that in the closet. I am hoping that’s going to be woke enough to alert him but I might have to rely on avocado toast with a poached egg and wilted spinach as additional weaponry if it doesn’t work.
More austerity for the government. Lucky for all the people who lose their jobs the government is going to make them go to seminars before they do on the benefit.
The organisation was not given a specific savings target from the government, but was asked to “deliver material savings”, so decided to cut operational costs by 6.5 percent over the next financial year.
The number of people unemployed is not as important as the number of people who are not in a union. The people being canned from government positions will be replaced with contractors who will cost more but will not be in a union.
They are mandating English first in agency names, Te Reo will still be there.
Te Reo is an official language of this country. The only reason to do is racism.
As far as it’s first reading in the house, sure.
Are you saying that the government said it will kill it after the first reading?
Labour’s approach to crime has failed spectacularly,
Only if you are daft enough to believe the hyped up stories about ram raids in the run up to the election. Also of course if you are daft enough to believe the way to end crime in this country is to build more prisons and lock up even a greater percentage of the population.
It’s not like you guys would take them seriously if they didn’t say it. You didn’t take them seriously before this statement, you won’t take them seriously after this statement. They are not talking to you. You are unreachable to them. You have already made up your mind about the Maori in this country.
Nobody is thinking the government wants to commit mass murder of Maori like Israel is doing in Gaza. What people are saying is that the government wants to erase the Maori culture and language. This is of course a huge task and they won’t be able to do it in one shot or even one term so they are doing everything they can this term and if they are given additional terms they can continue that work.
So you post lies to draw out people who will point out those lies.
You are the one that’s lying and acting as an apologist for genocide my dude.
Honestly all Jack had to do was ask really simple questions like “is it wrong to kill children” and “what should happen to people who kill children”. Simple questions like that is all it takes to make a genocide apologist duck and dive and weave trying to escape.
None of these sources support the claim that there were a large percentage of deaths from the IDF.
Straw man. Nobody said large percent were due to deaths from the IDF. The claim was that the numbers Israel published were lies.
It makes no sense for the host to push back on the claim that Hamas murdered x amount of Isrealis and say um actually there were a few cases where amongst the chaos some friendly fire happened
Why not? It shows that Israel was lying and guess what they have lied habitually during this war. Why shouldn’t their lies be pointed out?
He has likely already prepared a response to that since its the most common thing that is brought up.
We will never know since Jack was too cowardly to ask.
I think a better question would be to press him about the war goal of removing Hamas.
LOL. Everybody knows that’s never going to happen. Hamas is an ideology more than anything else. You think all the orphans Israel created will grow up loving Israel?
When Isreal pulls out of Gaza, Palestinians will return to their homes which are a pile of rubble and will be reminded every day about the war
What makes you think Israel will pull out of Gaza? What makes you think they won’t kill or at least ethnically cleanse millions of Palestinians from Gaza?
Since you refuse to believe anything negative about Israel without links here are a couple which you most definitely will not read or accept.
Oh and in case you made it this far I’ll ask you the question.
Is it wrong to kill innocent people? Is it wrong to kill children? Is it wrong to kill infants in an ICU?
If it is wrong who is worse? Somebody who kills 30 children or somebody who kills 1000 children? What kind of punishment should the world unleash on the people who kill 30 children and what kind of a punishment should the world unleash on the people who killed 1000 children?
I think it does matter. It’s illustrative of our market strategy as a nation.
But the point was you said we don’t sell premium products which isn’t true at all. And when lab milk takes over the bulk of dairy, there will still be global auctions for “real” cow milk, because there will still be a market for it.
Of course there will be a market. Just like there is a market today for V8 sedans. It’s just the market is really small.
