When we've used property managers the bigger companies have been on the most part fine, the issue comes in when it's the sole operators who say they're property managers but only know how to collect rent. We had issues where they had no ideas around the requirements for insulation sign off etc, we ...

Thoughts on the Havili experiment? Didn't get to see much of the game Actually I thought he was OK. Kicked well and directed the backline well. Hes a 12 thats decent at 10. Good man to have on the bench for the ABs or starting at 12 and a backup 10. If tours were still a thing he could be worth a s...

I 100% agree with the one New Zealand player on that list SBW. Massively overrated player. A slow, lumbering one trick pony who stymied our midfield play for years but received all the plaudits and accolades for his occasionally brilliant offloads. Otherwise it was like having a lock or blindside fl...

What an odd refereeing performance. "You're on a warning" "....except for high tackles for some reason." "And now it's been a while so you're on a warning again." Warning at 50:50. Second warning at 64:15. So does a warning have a 10 minute expiry? Since when? Clear as mud. Apparently "release" mea...

Everyone knows he isn't a 10's ringpiece and looked it.

Chris Bishop seems to have a severe antipathy to regulation and regulators. Maybe it's bir out of his time as a tobacco spin doctor. What prompted the above is Bishop killing off any regulation of Property Managers. His stated reasoning is so far off it couldn't be described as disingenuous, I thin...

Didn't get to see the game, but had score updates coming in while I was umpiring my boys cricket. No idea if it was a good win or not , but happy regardless, we don't get many across the ditch. How did Creighton go at 10, not the disaster we were all expecting? It was an excellent win for the Reds.

Grabbing my popcorn as the Julie Anne Genter show continues to roll on. What's the latest? I saw some headline about further allegations of intimidation.

Property managers still have to comply with the tenancy act and associated regulations when dealing with the tenancies do they not? Surely they wouldn't somehow get a free reign because they operating on behalf of the property owner. So what exactly are the issues that needed regulating? Genuine qu...

You would hope this is relatively hypocrisy free, given that Tim Van De Whatsisname precedent. She should be referred to the privileges committee and, if also found in contempt of Parliament, be censured. The Greens leadership can then remove her from her portfolios, as Luxon did. Looks all very st...

Their support base are obviously as deranged as their MP's.

It's becoming a bit of a trend. As a previous green voter it's sad to watch and I don't know that Norman, Fitzsimons, Donald et al would recognise what they've become. Even Nandos Taco was pretty chill. He showed an ability to work collaboratively across party lines. The current approach seemed to ...

Just asking , why not a fan if he were so reasonable ? I like James Shaw. He was a very smart, reasonable operator in a party full of deranged extremists. But I didn't agree with his climate change policies and also didn't like his hypocrisy in telling us all to reduce our carbon emissions by flyin...

I did like James Shaw's valedictory though. Confessing that he must have a thing for bald conservative men was definitely a funny moment in there (given his friendships with Todd Muller and Christopher Luxon). Definitely a calming voice that's leaving - and he also emphasised the need for collabora...

From a historical ray of hope the Greens have turned into a rabid pack of feral animals pumped up by an inflated sense of self worth and certainty.

Just another batshit crazy female Green MP.

Move along, nothing to see here.

It was fun listening to ZB during my walk this morning. Boy, were they attacking the poll (and the media reporting it). I chuckled when I thought of what they would do if NActNZF rose in the polls. There would be cum all over the place. I watched the news coverage on TV One and didn't think it was ...

Why ? Perceptions are everything . Certainly the government will be taking notice of these results . Hopefully it’ll inspire them to get their shit together and at least communicate better . Luxon really has to stop repeating himself, its robotic and not going to endear him. I love you Eugenius, bu...

I wouldn't read too much into it, I'd say an election campaign would see NZF go up at least 1%, and if they get back the government stays . Especially as the greens would also usually drop a couple % compared to the polls Possibly. NZF, and Winston in particular, usually campaign well at election t...

I'm surprised by that polling. Based on history, I expect this National-led government to be a minimum two-term government (from memory, the last 1 term government in NZ was in the 50s?). However, I'd like to see the results of the next couple of polls before concluding whether public mood has tren...

In fact it was the right decision and decisive. The explanation however was very muddled. Why you think your post clever is a little confusing, I never argued that it was a weak action . It was just a bit of a wind up targeting you as you have been quite unrelenting in your criticism of Luxon's 'pa...

Booji: At least they brought Dames and Knighthoods back. https://i.postimg.cc/rFLbYLGd/IMG-2934.jpg :lol: That was a statement not a fishing expedition. I thought my earlier comment about strong, decisive leadership from Luxon was being ignored until Eugenius took the bait. He rarely disappoints.

Disappointing loss obviously. Not surprising to see fans of other teams piling in on us and Rob Penney. F**k you guys and the nothing-teams you support.
