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...

Mr Mike

Yeah, that would be sensible. Though from the description Van De Molen's was perhaps more intimidating. But people are talking as if she should resign from Parliament. Well given that the Van De Whatsisname‘s punishment obviously wasn’t harsh enough to stamp out this type of conduct, perhaps it is ...

The frothing on this is a bit hypocritical from Nat suppporters given Tim Van De Whatsisname 6 months ago. 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, ...

I wonder if Reeces strike rate was helped by having his entire career playing under the most dominant coach in SR history (except 2024 )? His team won a title every year he played. Likely to an extent. But so did George Bridge, and his strike rate is 37 tries in 83 games=44.5%, comparable to Clarke...

Was taken far too literally . It's a friendly comment to show respect to the opposition

Taken literally it was completely correct. The Irish team, along with millions of other spectators from around the world, did get to see the Boks in the final.

Mr Mike

Does anyone think that ACT wouldn’t be pushing exactly the same austerity measures if the economy wasn’t in this ‘ catastrophic ‘ state ? Cause I’m pretty certain that they would be , and by the looks of this dynamic National might happily enable them. It’s due to this commonality of their ideologi...

Mr Mike

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...

Despite all the negativity, there are rays of hope as a group of students banded together in what is being praised as an Iwo Jima moment and raised the US flag once more. https://preview.redd.it/unc-chapel-hill-students-surround-the-american-flag-to-v0-2tjm8q5z2sxc1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=437c82ce33473c0c...

And hot murderous babes on the ticket is never that much of a coincidence. Stormy should've kept her mouth s....eh, anyway. She'd have a pun....fisters chance at Veep herself.

Maybe if she offers to replace Roosevelt with Trump on a little known monument in the Black Hills she's got a shot. Tempted to think it'll be Tim Scott, maybe JD Vance but Scott maybe adds votes Trump wouldn't get and detracts from votes Biden could get in a way Vance just doesn't, and Scott is fel...

What the absolute fudge she shot this to death https://www.thesprucepets.com/german-wirehaired-pointer-dog-breed-profile-4780317 because she couldn't train it, you have to be some sort of psychopath to think thats a positive. She’s a lunatic. This will cost her at any poll. Perhaps Trump should pic...

South Dakota is great fun and the main towns are significantly less depressing than Charleston or Morgantown, with far fewer obviously addled addicts wandering about. That’s a hell of a tourism campaign slogan. South Dakota...boring as af, until you get to the Black Hills I'm sure I saw that on a b...

That explains why Eben was so wary of the Kiwis.

I don’t think they are talking about a sufficient enough raise to change the status quo.

Mr Mike

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...

Mr Mike

The most disturbing thing about the entire thread is the use of “wreckless”. Is that a Boardism that I have missed or is it more evidence that the decline of civilization is accelerating?

Mr Mike

Signs of green shoots?

A Christchurch couple who became first home buyers in their 50s were surprised the current market was so “affordable”.

I for one welcome our new National Stadium. Perhaps an early test for the Fast-Track Approvals Act (once enacted).

You obviously have no concept of the impenetrable bubble that surrounds the NZ Judiciary since the advent of the High Court and the removal of access to the Privvy Council. Arguments put before the bench may well be based on ,and include significant parts of the Swiss proceedings but there is no le...

Early Thursday morning, I had a mild heart attack, no massive pains or sweating or the like, but a general feeling of my chest being squeezed. So I drove to the ER and was shuffled straight into the operating room for a 2.5 hour op using catheter. They inserted three stents and I am able to sit up ...

If the issue is time-limited funding ending, then the question is isn’t the work stopping too? If funding was time-limited and agencies chose to hire permanently (as I have seen before), then they now need to manage within their allocation and have prioritisation choices. I don’t know the backgroun...

Frustrating watch but very impressed with the focus the Force showed in defense. That and there discipline made the ask just too hard for the Saders.

The big question will be whether the public is going to accept the changes. I think this lot really don't give two hoots what the public think . They're in now, therefore "have a mandate" to pretty much do as they please. Also, the damage could well and truly be done before the public get the chanc...
