So how do you guys explain the movement often referenced in the NZ news media to close the gender pay gap then? Even though it is illegal in NZ and every Western country to pay men and woman differently for the same work. If that is not about equity (or 'all animals are equal, but some animals are m...

On advise from his lawyer. They wanted to make sure they would have grounds for a mistrial based on him not being able to receive a fair trail due to the car chase causing prejudice amongst potential juries (it certainly worked on you).

I don’t live in Merivale , I live in the central city. And hypocritically* I prefer a level of comfort compared to when I did live in Linwood let alone when was homeless whilst in Sydney .

On International Woman's Day two years ago me and my work mates got shown that cartoon by our Health and Safety, Manager, Inventory Manager and Payroll Administer. So I think you will find it is not just on me.

Certainly its ideology is more ‘caring’ and was intended by Christian capitalists to be a more ‘realistic’ attempt at socialism. I do active works - that what makes me more ‘caring’ whatever the hell that means , that satisfies what passes as my personal ideology. 10’s of thousands are far more ded...

I caught up with an old friend at a rugby game yesterday. His university studies were in commerce, and he used to strongly favour equality versus equity. After raising his son for 20+ years who has severe autism, including his experiences of navigating the disability support system and dealing with...

In regards to where I've been positioned on the political spectrum throughout my life, I most certainly grew up in the Left household, slowly transitioned to the right when I studied economics, and have wavered back and forth across the center area for most of my life. I have two political values (...

Lots of people change their political views either through a new focus or influence of changing values and priorities . I’m not sure University study had much to do with it . The worse Righties in my family were my uncle Alan ( BNZ ) and now brother in law . Ghastly unfeeling dishonest and complete...

That was a good game. Tough and well fought. The Canes bench was too strong for the Chiefs bench. Canes were relentless. A couple of dodgy contacts were concerning. I feel like we haven't learnt a lot after lax officiating in last year's Super Rugby - ultimately leading to one player being yellowed...

I don't think this is true. I've seen interviewers with jurors in which they showed an impressive grasp of the details of the case, and appeared to have taken their job very seriously. It's probably fair to say that the jurors (all black if I remember rightly) would have looked at the case through ...

I never thought Muttonmong would have competition for worst kiwi. I like to think he's someone's alt and he's doing this for shits and giggles. But a good chunk of me understands that although Kiwi fans on here are mostly gracious and will congratulate the opposition after a win this guy is literal...

^^^Frustrating for a team to be the Crusaders bridesmaids for so long and just when the Chiefs finally look to have a clear path to the altar up springs bridezilla in the form of the Hurricanes. Poor old Chiefs fans.

Fair play though well done to the Tahs and all the Aussie Fans deserved win in the end. In recent times you always seem to get up and play way better against us than any other team. Wasn't the cripple fight some are making out. Both teams produced some sparkling attacking play and were strong in som...

Who won? The Aussies. Every Aussie poster has assembled to celebrate like a deprived dog given a bowl of food for the first time in months, like the Irish used to do before they actually became consistently good. This thread would be 2 pages if the Crusaders won it is pages of grizzled Aussie battl...

Jesus that was pea brain for the Crusaders. Rehiana should have just not taken the conversion let them charge it down and the game was over,

So long you narcissistic piece of sh!t. Once you've seen photos of the crime scene, what can be seen can not be unseen.

I reckon Xavier Numia and Billy Procter have also put themselves in contention with some good early season form.

Jacomb?

Selby-Rickit?
They're almost straight out bolters Grandpa - rather than contenders.

I would say Ratima and Love are nailed on debuts this season if they stay uninjured.

The 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season will be Fergus Burke's last with the Crusaders. The 24-year-old has signed a three-year deal with London-based club Saracens. He will play out the rest of the Super Rugby Pacific season for the Crusaders, and the NPC season for Canterbury. We wish him all the bes...

Really is a shame as he had superstar potential was robbed of making a big impact last season by idiot Foster preferring the ginger and this year by injury. As Eminem says you do only tend to get one shot so I doubt we will see him reach superstar heights now.

FFS dick Hurricanes overplaying the great All Black hope to he gets injured. Roigard should come to the Crusaders next season where we will look after him better and manage his workload.

Very well ! He wasn’t the reason his team lost . I think Sotutu has been a stand out myself . And I reckon Razor will pick him allowing him to shine at international level finally . The way Christie played last night must have given him a decent sniff at the greater squad surely ? I prefer Reihana ...

Aumua should have been carded for that shot to Saunders head. Ref was quick to card the Highlanders and the TMO wanted to do Hicks as well but they don't seem to see the Hurricanes. Ultimately this will undo the Hurricanes either later in the season or next as the officials are not always going to b...

Hannah looked good at lock. Paired with Scott Barret they could be a good pair if Strange keeps getting injured. Was pleased Hotham went well after a couple of awful earlier displays in tandem with Kemara. I think David Havili may be finished as a 12 and should consider moving back to fullback. I gu...

Get that up you Chiefs. Next time bring Damien Mackenzie if you want to win in Christchurch.

Gutsy display by the Crusaders. Nothing like a coach resting their best player to fire the home team up.

Okay lets look at the figures. Average house price in NZ $930,495 with a 20% deposits $186,099 and mortgage of $744,396. Cost of Mortgage 7% interest = $52,107.72 Average rent 3/4 bedrooms $720 x 52 = $37,440 Tax of 30% on the rent is $11,323 so a net income from rental of $26,117 with no interest d...

Well Fonterra is yet to pay that profit to farmers but even still Grant Robertson printed so much money that we didn't earn that it caused massive inflation that the reserve bank was slow to react to and now we have been subjected to massive interest rate rises that has left everyone with a mortgage...

Every time I have seen Chloe Swarbrick debate David Seymour she gets destroyed. Her advisers between then give her a rebuttal for next time but once he destroys this she can't think on her feet she just goes quiet and repeats slogans. A good example of it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgJ0ud...

It is not a huge change I just thought you knew how the economy works but if you find Chloe makes sense I can see you don't and it is probably a waste of time replying to you. You might as well just sit here nodding in agreement with Eug who can't wait to everyone is on a benefit so they have more t...
