Bridges is a goner, I think its despicable if Jamie Lee Ross does have a mental illness, for Bridges and the Nats to throw him under the bus, but Im waiting to see what he does reveal, the beauty of the whole thing is its going to keep National in opposition for a very long time

The farmers let NZ down not MPI farmers aided and abetted the introduction of this disease into the country, and they are the ones who should pay, MPI now have to try and pick up the pieces. Police should be involved and the original importers and purchasers of the contaminated product should spend a long time in Jail, also illegal activity should not be compensated for in any way shape of form

The writer is absolutely correct, look after your workers and they will look after you, its amazing how many businesses dont understand this, Ive worked for both, and people who didnt look after me as a worker will get nothing but bad advertising from me, All that happens is that good staff leave and so the business ends up having to employ what left. Serves them right as well, the sooner all poor employers go under the better

Correct, and theres more to come, National and their neoliberalism,aimed at keeping workers living as beggars, can only last for so long, then the workers will strike back, and its not a moment too soon either, all workers in NZ should be finding out what their union is and joining quick smart

Many medical researchers are the ones that are confused about how healthy butter is, read the ingredients on a pound of butter, then on a pot tale of margarine, then decide what you want to eat, Its a no brainer

Incorrect about Australia, cars, boats, motorcycles etc are all counted as assets all bank accounts, superannuation accounts, shares, land, houses which are not the family home are considered as assets and are incorporated in the asset test, I’m living in Australia and have only recently filled out all the forms, 40 pages of questions and all must have documented evidence as well, this also includes your spouses income and everything they own , either separately or combined

And Im willing to put money on the fact that the child grabbed the snake, or poked it or something, any pythons Ive seen have just lay there like a rope, and the 2 venomous Ive seen have taken off in the other direction at a very fast clip, they are afraid of us, it shouldnt be the other way around

Union officials are allowed access to workplaces to be able to see what is actually going on, not give the employer a chance to tidy up their act while the union reps are there, then back to the old unsafe, low pay ways, they love, they are terrified of collective bargaining because they cant bully workers when the negotiations are being done by a union

Employers are terrified of unions because it means they have to provide safe working environments, proper wages, annual leave, sick leave, etc, all of which they would dearly love to abolish, they believe they are the only people entitled to make money, they want workers as serfs to them, Kia Kaha All unions

Ive lived for 6 years in their territory dont need to watch Attenborough, the only Australian snake Ive heard of actually attacking people is what they call the fierce snake, they will come at you apparently, but as a general rule leave them alone and they will just carry on their business, they arent anything to be afraid of

There was already a huge glut of strawberries before any needles were ever found, a family of brothers who have been growing strawberries for 50 years. Were on the ABC farming hour saying they were ploughing theres in, because strawberries were selling at 69 cents a punnet in the supermarkets, and it was costing them $1 a punnet to grow, so its not all about the needles, make no mistake about that

She was on channel 9 last night, she believes there is no such thing as rape in the western world, she believes woman dont have the brains to be CEOs she is anti all Islam not just radical, she doesnt believe different races can live together in harmony, in other words shes a white supremacy advocate, she has to have bodyguards and her venues are kept secret in case protesters come, so she actually doesnt believe in free speech at all
