We are talking a city of 1.5m not Te Awamutu, it needs to be of a certain standard. The fact its racing surface is ok is neither here nor there, shut it down and distribute the money to other clubs end of story.
Article on Stuff about Neve, Famous Mum? I thought Jacinda was her Mum?
She's been the toast of New York, charming world leaders and US media. Baby Neve made almost a bigger splash on the international stage than her famous mum, Jacinda Ardern.
Hesi, there is no denying she is going well, but yet again you are missing the point like you lefties often do, the rest of the mob are f--king hopeless incompetents.
Agree DB, can’t wait.
As usual though as happens every year, Farmers and those working Horses early throw up a huge moan about working in the dark, forgetting about the fact they get to enjoy drinking piss around the bbq like the rest of us.
Pete, you have hit the nail on the head about left wing political parties around the world.
Reminds me of a greenpeace supporter I know who turns up to meetings in an old wreck of a car bellowing out burnt oil. Also happily making regular trips around the world spreading the green message via a fossil burning plane.
I just re read Gavins post about Ardern and longer than 9 yrs.
Hilarious Gavin, whilst charismatic yes, unlike Key this will wane quickly as traditionally Labour voters when burnt economically dont turn up on Election day. When Labour voters realise in short time that nothing is changing for them financially then the dream run will end for Jacinda.
Labour had Clark & Cullen 2 of NZs most competent MPs and still departed them.
What you dont do is allow a party with less than 10% support to totally dominate you and punch way about it weight. Labour sold its voters down the river to NZF in order to gain power. Power which as they are discovering is at NZF discretion on every policy issue.
The trouble with everything you say Gavin is the country never gave Labour a mandate not even close, mid 30s in fact. That's a crux of it and why many are bitter, the main party couldn't even get close to 50% support. They got by with zero policy and continue today to hobble together I'll thought out ideas that will cost us well into the future.
None of the success for Labour you are predicting is coming from great governance or policy but more the failure of a National leader to undermine them.
I agree with you Hesi, a poor govt lacking in policy and ability only in place because of a weak opposition leader who will be gone in 6 months.
