So far looks like a reasonable arrangement with the three heads compromising on what will become policy, and what will be ditched…….the next 100 days will be interesting….just wonder what new changes there will be to gun laws when I heard Peewee mention he wants a safer New Zealand……and will be inte...

From what I've just read online......tax definitely.....Nats had this as their flagship policy.....the other two are cooler on the idea along with 62% of electorate.....and the Referendum re Treaty would be ACTs bottom line......which Nats and NZF? are cooler on along witha fair chunk of most electo...

…….which is why the electoral system is doomed to fail…..there is too much “package deal” policy enactment in NZ through the political party system. In a true democracy, policies for every function of government should be defined on a continuum, and the electorate determine what the balance should b...

Only in America……….. Just read this in an online news article…… What if Donald Trump goes to prison?

The maximum potential sentences amount to hundreds of years beh...

The Chimera of legend.......the New Coalition.....

Interesting times ahead. The political Chimera created by this election will have either its three heads making an effort to govern without ego by agreeing on blended key policies of their parties…….or the three heads biting each other when they clash philosophically or drag the chain supporting cla...

Onya Ardie.....Congratulations.....always leadng by example and putting in big shifts....

Onya SA……accurate kicking…..rock solid defence…….onya ABs……big tickers to fight on for 70% of game with 14……nice try…….a knife edge game. Congrats SA on the win and 4th World Cup…..1 was enough…….three times! Celebrate well!

Congratulations South Africa......took all your chances at goal.....and defended like demons possessed. Well done on attaining your 4th World Cup. PS.....no hassles with refingf....he did well and the big decisions made were "as the rule book states". Celebrate well!

C'mon guys .....it was a riviting match......and the end result was decided by the width of a players leg. From what I saw and heard 12,500 miles away, EVERYONE was roaring creating the atmosphere. As for attendance, was probably the reverse in numbers when held in NZ. ......but I know how you irish...

Tehui......A backline always looks better behind a good forward pack. :lol: Very good.......... I had been calling the "cost of living crisis" of the last year, Backline Economics. It seemed to me, when the Consumer item was picked up by the economic system halfback, he would up the price, reduce th...

I know the Irish are hurting, but their effort in that QF matched the ABs and the whole game result came down to one action in the 83 minutes…….Geordie Barrett’s leg preventing the ball being touched down over the line. But for that, Ireland were through. It was like that when La Rochelle beat Leins...

terangi48

Congratulations Ireland and ABs for the great game today…..tense…..superb physical contest…..great tickers. For all the action, one side came out of the contest with four points more, though could have been reversed but for the width of leg. Thanks for the entertainment and display of quality rugby.

How dumb are the NZ media ..............sports jocks after headlines......Kiwi version of the mad englishman Stephen Jones!

Go the AB's....discipline, big D and take the points when offered.....best wishes......

Was thinking of using these before the quarter final game coming up........but may inadvertently improve the paddy power.....

Booji - I find it very interesting that you all think Winston First is a freakshow these days but you had no problem with him putting a Labour Greens coalition into power in 2017. Oh no, that was just fine and dandy. But putting a National ACT coalition into power in 2023 will be a disaster. Yeah .....

Only one thing to do for this game.......put $100 on the Paddies.....there's someting good either way it goes!

Was in London three months ago......atmosphere seemed alright to me. In saying that, I'm looking through aged eyes, and wasn't seeking the fast life.

If we have a current housing crisis, and a net immigration gain of 86,000 in the last 12 months, how the hell are people being housed here at the moment?

Onya ABs…..11 tries in the wet……a decent result. Good to see Roigard give some variation to halfback position……congrats Sam on reaching an AB milestone.

Congratulations France……well played…….played in the ABs D zone and put the pressure on them……pressure penalties win big games……best wishes for future games.

Kicking points today, France took six opportunities from nine - 17 points, and NZ one from three chances - 3 points. NZ poor in discipline today defending in own half through better French tactics in playing in kiwi half. Too many kiwi territorial kicks went to French hands who held and ran ball bac...

About time the disappearing red returned……if nothing had been done prior to the WC, world rugby may as well have got rid of the card system, burnt down the bunker, cancelled all disciplinary committees and shredded the rule book. It is of concern that 2 of the 3 who allowed this fiasco to occur are ...

Interesting reading comments from afar……currently in the UK. I hear the advertising on NZ TV extolling NZ as clean green. Since looking around England for the last month, I’m of the opinion that England is a better example of clean and green, while coping with a population of 60 million. In NZ, I li...

Taxation improvement…….

Best idea I’ve heard yet……

Politics has always been arse about face. What i’d love to see in nz is more focus on individual policies being being the main purpose of the electorate( taxation, housing, education, justice etc) rather than the two bundled package we currently have presented to us every three years. Once decided, ...

Boojis - The gist of the Greens tax proposal is to reduce inequality by taxing the rich more and handing it out to low income earners and beneficiaries? i.e. turning NZ into even more of a welfare state then we already are? Or are they planning to use the extra revenue to build more hospitals, schoo...

"Back of the envelope calculation says it would see lower income earners taking home another $30 a week. You think $15 a week is 'bugger all'. So is an extra $15 worthwhile?"
