I am a supporter of the coalition government. However its time for Claire Curran to go. Not only has Curran proven herself to be an incompetent, irresponsible and untrustworthy minister, but also with this latest issue, shes becoming a security risk now. Curran has been in Parliament long enough to know the rules, which she is habitually challenging. For what reason? Is she unwell? Does she have undisclosed issues, which are affecting her ability to work as an MP? Or is she just plain stupid? Who knows? But she cant remain in Parliament. Shes a liability. The PM has to sack her. .
Maureen Pugh needs to stand up, show some self respect and challenge Simon Bridges about his comment. Now she knows what Bridges thinks of her, how on earth can she possibly support him?
Little Mia is her own person obviously. A nonconformist perhaps? Love the way she is sitting for the official wedding photos ... doing it her way. And the handbag pic ... OMG, a cute little gem. Certainly a scene stealer.
Depending on lifestyle, genetics, age, health, physical and mental abilities etc, metabolism also differs from person to person as well, suggesting varied individual nutritional requirements will be needed.
With the help of Mother Nature, the Southern Alps fault line, when it begins to stir, should give a good strong message to these super wealthy man made apocalypse dodging idiots and their bunkers! Sorry guys, but nature always deals the ace hand.
When theres this diet, that diet and another diet in your face through media, of course people are going to try them over time, more often than not with negative outcomes, because most of these diets are not sustainable. Sustainability of good meals over the long term is the answer, to fit comfortably into an individuals life style. Good food should be a persons choice of what they eat and when they consume it, without guilt, or remorse, for allowing a treat on the odd occasion, Another point is the weight loss industry which has risen enormously over the past forty years or more. In my opinion, these profit driven industries could well be part of the cause of the spike in obesity, focusing mainly on weight loss and not individual personal needs, losing sight of one size does not fit all!
Well like its said, you spend a lot of time with someone, you begin to look alike and take on the characteristics of the other! Lets face it with this situation, Paula has been spending an awful lot of time with Simon, both wearing their smacked bum faces!
Absolutely. As parents/grandparents its our job to protect our children and grandchildren from bullies.Bullies young or adult are basically cowards. A good dose by someone closely connected/related to the victim(s), of non violent fear, intimidation and embarrassment is what they need, giving them the opportunity to experience harassment and hurt. Preferably done in the presence of their peers.
If JLR has more tapes recording National MPs as well as Bridges, then there will be some sleepless nights for some coming up, as more skeletons begin to rattle in the cupboards! Could be more resignations in the pipeline. I watched a video of Finlayson being interviewed after the audio tape release yesterday. Although he announced his resignation, he sounded very bitter in the process.
Its possible the police confirmed to Mallard that the leak came from National. Realising National will have to deal with its own internal matter, Mallard therefore stopped the original enquiry from going ahead. A logical move to make, given the circumstances.
The food police will condemn this method of sleep induction, even though its effective.Try one small square of 70 - 72% cocoa dark chocolate, about an hour or two before bedtime. Works for me and my other half all the time. Something to do with the cocoa I guess. Perhaps a cup of warm cocoa before bedtime might work as well.Noticed on the nights we dont have the chocolate, we have trouble falling sleep and then when we do, its hard to stay asleep. We swear by it for getting a great nights sleep. If you arent allergic to chocolate or a diabetic, its worth a try if nothing else.
In the right circumstances and environment, yoga can be a calming influence, not only on the physical body, but on the mind and spirit also.Gaining the power of concentration is a direct positive of regular yoga practice, something which has to be a plus for young people in learning situations.Well done Warren Owen. Refreshing to see a progressive educator, giving his pupils the opportunity to learn a thorough mental, spiritual and physical workout, enabling them to cope with daily challenges and tasks with a clearer mind.
Another point if I may. Great to see the children in the pics and video laughing and enjoying themselves as they do their yoga practice, while attempting different positions. They seem so happy and vibrant. Cant see the harm in that.
Maybe Simon Bridges should look at who wasnt part of the big guns standing behind him, for answers.Notably absent were deputy leader of National Paula Bennett and Judith Collins!
In my younger days I was an active rider and general horsey person. I love them. Even now, despite not riding any more due to the ageing process, when Im around horses, I feel spiritually enlightened by their presence. Animals in general are good therapy for the human heart and soul. Cant imagine life without an animal to share it with.
Or Cromwell, which doesnt get much snow at ground level, so unlikely to get snowed out, causing aircraft traffic problems. Also its in between Queenstown and Wanaka, as well as having main road access to both Christchurch and Dunedin.
Cant see why a member of the coalition would want to leak the information, then text the leader of the opposition, as well as the Speaker, claiming responsibility. Nothing to gain doing that. Besides, how would someone from the coalition have close working details of the National caucus, which the leak has claimed to have knowledge of?

Government freezes MPs pay amid multiple pay negotiations with educators, police
This is better than an outrageous pay rise for MPs.

This is nothing to do with the government. Its the opposition thats having problems.

About time too. Excellent move.

Ditto to that.

How so?
Medicinal cannabis drugs should be in doctors' toolbox
Monitored cannabis use for pain is the way to go, when traditional medicine has failed. Lets do it.

And why not if its for personal use only?
