Hey Jacinda, how come petrol is so much more in the South Island than in your wet hole you call home? Its about 6 cents per litre more. If you calculate in the 11.5c tax that you are supposedly paying, that makes it about 17c more expensive. Please explain why your incompetent government treats the South Island people with so much disrespect.
National won the election, but the losers got in - and Labour supporters still think that is okay. UNBELIEVABLE. Enjoy your handouts. Theyll stop in a couple of years.
Parents like this are probably half the reason teachers are going on strike. This child (like many others) is likely to be a real challenge at school. Teachers get blamed for a pupils poor academic achievement - but the reality is they are expected (by many) to fix issues the parents have created. This kid is probably a self-entitled little brat, disrespectful and a real baby when told he cannot have something.
And wait for it . . . . . they also wont enter the mine because it is not safe . . . . . . but they will waste a lot of money deciding that . . . . . . and that will be the South Island regional budget spent.
This should never have been allowed to happen. The political parties dont care because its a South Island thing and there are many more votes in the NI. Another reason the petrol prices are so high down here. Then there is the NZ First regional fund - if you are a region of the NI.
Maybe she could get a committee together to advise her on how to be a leader? If she cant decide who should be on the committee, perhaps a focus group could make that decision for her?
Yes. Now we can pay even more for petrol than Auckland. Thanks Jacinda for making our dollar bad and letting the Auckland regional petrol tax spread to the South Island. Maybe that is the stupid governments regional contribution to the South Island.
Yep, lets have a regional tax like the petrol one where Auckland is supposed to pay 10c per litre more, but that has been passed to the South Island and Wellington who are paying about 5c per litre more than those Aucklanders! How about a big story on that on STUFF and the national news!
Dalziel would have loved this as an emotional manipulator out east when Bob was major. In fact, just like Winston, she is very quiet when she actually has some responsibility.
If the miscarriage of an 11 week old foetus constitutes bereavement leave, then should an abortion of an 11 week foetus constitute murder? Its a hard one, because 1/4 of all pregnancies fail in the first trimester. Unfortunately there are people who will milk a failed 6 weeks pregnancy for all they can get. And there are others who have had to hold their still born children with every right to grieve and feel terrible.
The job would be a lot easier, I suggest, if many parents did a better job raising their genetic legacies. Based on some of the comments I can only imagine the values and low IQ they are sending their kids to school with - for the poor teachers to try and fix up.
Great to see the jealous people having their say. Unlike them, Crockett has been selected by many different coaches for a very long time at the top level. He is also a top bloke. So I can see why these people want to try and put down his achievements. They no doubt looked in the mirror and saw something they didnt like.
Meanwhile, Labour expects young people (who were too lazy to last week) to now get jobs at the minimum wage because Jacinda and her crew were on TV wearing fluro vests!
If Labour and the Greens were not part of the government (which they shouldnt be as most people didnt vote for them) they would be all over this for a bit of attention!
This is all very nice, but when will Stuff do a story on why the South Island and Wellington is paying more for petrol than Auckland?! That is where the real robbery is happening - the price in Auckland should be about 10 cents more than us. Ask Jacinda why this is happening and what she is going to do about it - and demand some action for New Zealanders!!
Mounga has done nothing wrong (other than out play Barrett in Super Rugby which annoyed the Hurricanes fans) and doesnt deserve the BS coming to him from precious Barrett fans. Barrett is great first five and played awesome last night and fully deserves to remain the starting 10. Mounga is also deserving an opportunity to show what he can do behind an ABs pack in a test match. Hopefully the precious Canes fan will calm down now that Barrett has had a great game.
Dear Canes fans. No fog. No rain. Fast track. Dodgy ref call for your try. Near sell-out. Any other fantasies as to why your team if gonna smash mine for me to burst?
But, but, but the Canes have a game in hand against the Crusaders! Oh, they just lost that and are now nine points behind. At least the Hurricanes fans have stopped telling us they are going to smash each team by 40+ points.
I think it is sad you wanted a really good player and nice bloke to fail. He did alright for his first game in a month. Barrett is the better test player at the moment. I also bet you are not as nasty about Barretts bad moments in his test career. You have set the standard for the precious type of people the Hurricanes have as fans. Barrett deserves a better class of fan than people like you. Which is why I, as a Crusaders fan, support BB and love the way he plays. I also thought he was outplayed by Mounga in Super Rugby - but dont let that get to you too much.
Queenstown is the South Islands eyesore. It is probably the only part of the South Island I dislike and will likely avoid in the near future. The natural beauty is being ruined and it is nothing like I remember 20+ years ago. Unfortunately Wanaka is going the same way and the disease is spreading north to Tekapo.
I thought the Hurricanes had more points than the Crusaders and a game in hand? Or was that back in April when the Hurricanes fans awarded themselves the trophy?
I am sure the Labour supporters will by fine if their party emails are stolen. After-all, they didnt mind when the emails of the last Government were stolen.
Only saw the last 10 minutes, so I am not qualified to comment as much as those moaning about the ref because the team they wanted to see lose didnt. However I am sad to see Tasman miss out again - even if it was nice to have Canterbury win.
My suggestion is you should qualify and work as a teacher for a few years and then tell us what it is like. Can a non-teacher actually explain to me what it is like?
All the comments saying that Mounga isnt that good because he hasnt performed in the ABs are funny as. He hasnt really played for them and the debate is that he should because he has been in such great form!! I understand you people dont like him because his Crusaders team is better than your team - but grow up.
Wow, why are Hurricanes fans so bitter? I just dont get it. I am a Crusaders fan and love the way Barrett plays for the ABs. Is it really that bad being a Canes fan that you cant stand to see any Crusaders players doing well?
Wow, that coach is still moaning about the rain and now moaning that the Crusaders have a bye! His team get 3 breaks in the competition to try and develop some backbone in their forwards. The Crusaders only got 2 breaks to recover from dominating teams like his. He seems like a pretty bad loser. Goodbye old man.
Ryan Crotty is a very, very good player and will be in the squad (despite your petty dislike of him). Laumape has really impressed me this year and I think he deserves a place ahead of SBW.
I love how you have knowledge of everybody and how hard they work. Pure genius. Please tell us what will happen if all the teachers leave? Not a stupid answer please, but a logical and well though out response.
Is that you Chris? Even if the Crusaders go out early, their coach will still be so much happier and cooler than grumpy Boyd. He is such a bad loser, probably means he is an even worse winner.
The trouble is many players cant handle the truth. The truth is he just isnt good enough in their eyes and probably lazy. But if you tell most players that, they have a cry and run off overseas!
People could just drive slower and stop breaking the law. But at least it will help us pay for the boy racer damage, because as we know, that unfortunate part of our population doesnt take responsibility for their inadequacies.
Oh wow, ANOTHER advisory group! This bunch of people most voters clearly didnt want, have created a legacy of groups and committees as the fluffiest Government the world has seen in a very long time (that last bit was a bit sensationalist and not backed up with facts which the Labour supporters will appreciate and understand).
Id have to say the semi was a bit flat. The Crusaders obviously had to work hard, but they always seemed in control. I was worried about the Hurricanes backs (primarily because every commentator was telling me they are so good) but they werent up to much. And to be fair, 10, 12 and 13 for the Crusaders were very, very good.
Well that wont happen. Every low IQ driver knows the closer they are to the car in front, the faster it will go! It also makes them feel powerful as they like the bully nature of aggressive driving. Another solution is to ban boy racers from the roads - they should just keep riding scooters at the skate parks to feel cool and thuggish instead.
Grow up. Mounga outplayed Barrett in the highest level he has had the opportunity to do - Super Rugby. Barrett is clearly out best number 10 at test level at the moment. But Mounga has done nothing wrong - apart from win another Super Rugby title which people like you just cant get over.
Sadly there are many parents who have not taught their kids much before they go to school. Unless you count bad language, disrespect, how to steel, how to cry and get what you want, how to be self-entitled, how to numb their brains on a device, etc.
The Auckland price appears about 6c cheaper than the cost around the South Island and Wellington! That is with the petrol tax! What a joke. If the national media wasnt so Auckland biased and centric, that would be quite a news story. No wonder New Zealand has a huge dislike for Auckland and the current government.
There have been a lot of highs over the years. Although the 2 semi-final losses to the Chiefs still irk. The 2011 final loss was also hard to take after the journey they had to make that year. But regardless, Id be really annoyed if the Crusaders had only one or two titles and some other team had 8!
English fans are like Hurricanes fans - they awarded themselves the trophy far, far too early. At least the Canes still have a chance this year to add to their one title.
Well I am sure the Labour supporters wont be anywhere as nasty to her as they were to John Key and his family. Just like they have stopped protesting TPPA. You can also assume theyd support Jacinda if she wanted a flag referendum!
Lets put a litter tax on cigarettes. Those dirty people throw their butts everywhere without a second thought and chances are they litter many other things as well because of their core values. Then we can pay these good people for being so nice.
This just doesnt seem to make sense. I dont have a solution for the issue myself, but this just seems a little odd with the numbers being thrown around.
Mmmm, the disease that is Auckland keeps growing. Meanwhile, the South Island pays more for petrol than the average Aucklander even those it should be about 10c less! And I though Jacinda was all about the people . . . . . she cares not for the South Island.
You should be grateful for the people of the Crusaders region (including Canterbury) for developing so many fine rugby players and coaches that have a huge part in keeping your All Blacks at the top of world rugby. Imagine if the Blues or Hurricanes with their success were the best regions in the country! Wed be going downhill like the netballers. So be thankful and show some respect young man!! :)
