historically there has been huge migrations of people. the jews to israel being one! but india to pakistan post partition etc. The reality is this conflict is never going to end until there is a permanent long term solution. israel is not going anywhere-especially not when its backed by the west an...

The abandonment of the generational ban in favour of tax hikes is extremely regressive. But RWNJs get super aroused by regressive taxes, particularly ACT and their friends. Coupled with stopping nicotine content and retail point reduction, which is a gift to tobacco firms and dairy owners, the whole...

The 1995 Oslo II Accord established the administrative division of the Palestinian West Bank into areas A, B, and C as a transitional arrangement, pending a final status agreement. Oslo II intended for the divisions to be temporary, with full jurisdiction of all three areas gradually transferred to...

:thumbup: Back when I left school in the early 2000s the Brisbane GPS schools were hands down the best academically in terms of year 12 marks and placement into uni. Different to nsw with the selective schools. No idea if it’s changed now though. It's shifted somewhat but there are no state high sc...

Thread Irished. The arrogance to make this all about them.

One of the most alarming things to have happened in recent days is the growing support for Hamas in the illegally occupied West Bank. Hamas have given them a sense of hope. Not sure if this is a deliberate strategy by the Israeli government intended as a way to eventually begin a war with Palestine ...

It’s comforting to see Australian rugby fans flat out deny the actual issue, racism in elite schools. Its all RL's fault and the solution appears to be throw more money at rural players in the form of scholarships. But they haven’t read what Kalyan’s mum said. She’s not sending him to a private scho...

Hi Keith. Way to back up the point.

Muttonbirds

I rest my case.

Muttonbirds

Honestly, if you’re reading visegrad there’s something seriously wrong with you.

I agree , I'm no fan of the Gnat's tax cut 'carrot' nor am I opposed to 'big' government , provided there is tangible benefit. But given the bombshell revelations of ethics, or lack thereof , of PWC in Australia and some of the gobshite I've read over the past 10 years writen by the 'Big 5' consult...

An Australian teenager shares the dream of many young athletes across the Tasman Sea – to don the gold and green Wallabies jersey and make his mark on the international stage. But in order to make that dream a reality for the 16-year-old Aboriginal, his mother, who fears her son’s hopes may never b...

Nicola Willis admits scrapping smokefree laws will help fund tax cuts in Newshub Nation interview

The way it should have been from day one, I can’t believe it was ever year one. What is the 'final year' can be quite tricky to define, varies by qualification and is going to need a lot more bureaucracy to monitor at a national level due to student transfers, cross-crediting and the like. I suspec...

Oh, my mistake. To be honest, you just don’t read like a leftie.

Muttonbirds

I'm not going to lie, the last month of politicians staying largely quiet has been bliss. Reading some of the stuff today and I'm already getting wound up. Tax cuts going ahead, no recalculation on how they will be paid for. Three strikes is back after been shown to work in absolutely no jurisdicti...

The foreign buyer tax has gone so to pay for tax cuts to the wealthy, Nicola Willis is going after first year tertiary students. By scrapping fees free, she will literally have 18 year old kids who want to get ahead pay high income earners thousands of dollars (7-9 thousand each) before they even ta...

Strong Tommy Robinson vibes with message #.

Might as well say Palestine needs to be destroyed, now.

And that is what Israel is doing.

There’s no way egg head is going to keep this rabble together.

Muttonbirds

I think I’m right that Israel has killed 14000 mostly civilians in Gaza this month, including 5000 children who are by definition civilians.

Most of these people are still in the rubble.

Certainly puts things into perspective.

Muttonbirds

Lot of asterisks there for some reason.

NZ also has The Rugby Championship. Note Wayne Barnes not allowed near any games where opponents are evenly matched…

Muttonbirds

Sorry Eug.....We all know how you feel about this and your opinions regarding the poor innocent victims being bullied by big bad Israel. I get it. You need to understand that there is a massive silent majority out here in this world who are sick of the shit the Palestinians pulled on Oct 7 and sema...

Just catching up on headlines, so we're into the ministerial lolly scramble and expecting a Wednesday or Thursday government? Will be interesting to see how the issues have come through the negotiation process, personally think it would be great if nationals versions of tax cuts have been scrapped ...

I think you're imagining things. Well, i admit I'm just scanning the last 5 or 6 pages or so. Cool, quote me something unambiguously antisemitic from the last five pages.

Bryce Edwards ,IMO, is the the most level and astute of our Political commentators: Then there are the portfolios and baubles.

You would not live in an area governed by an organization ruled by Hamas, Mutton bird, so for you to make excuses for them means you are an idiot or you are just trying to get a reaction Hi TMAB.

Israel has landlord-as-victim syndrome. After being gifted a house they have treated their tenants very poorly and wonder why people are upset with them.

That's been the plan for some time, and continues to be the plan.

It's called ethnic cleansing.

Fight to the death once and for all? Not sure what this means. The Israeli people just need to vote in a government which will withdraw from the West Bank. Ball's in their court.
