    ‘A marine sanctuary in the Kermadec Islands could be back on the table – but not in its original form.

    Labour and NZ First are working on an alternative proposal for an ocean sanctuary in the region which allows some fishing to take place.’

    Say what you like about Winston but he delivers for his donors 🙂

      And the usual tumbleweed response from the Green caucus.

      Thank goodness the toxic dwarf will be gone after the next election.

          1. 1.1.1.1.1

            Cinny, help out an aging sister here and explain to me why Barfly’s comment is so funny.

            Seriously…I don’t get it.

            Farrar is a pathetic apology of a political commenter, what has that to do with someone posting links to articles about the Pretty Pony Tax Rebate and the ‘Oh my goodness the Fishing Barons are threatening legal action so we’ll back off’ scandal.

            Because that’s what it is…a scandal, when so much work has gone into it.

            There’s political compromise, and then there’s being compromised.

            1. 1.1.1.1.1.1

              🙂 Rosemary 🙂 Hugs 🙂

              Stunned Mullet said…. “Thank goodness the toxic dwarf will be gone after the next election”

              Then Barfly… “Is Farrar retiring?”

              That made me laugh big time because farrar is the only toxic dwarf I’m aware of in NZ. I can’t stand farrar.

              Hope that makes sense, I’ve a funny way of looking at things sometimes 🙂

    2. 1.2

      “Say what you like about Winston but he delivers for his donors 🙂”

      Diplomatically put, Sir.

      1. 1.2.1

        Thank you, there were some other words I was thinking of using but I thought i’d go with being subtle

    Thrilled after watching a live stream from the Hague last night….where’s Ed this morning??? Ed…… if you haven’t heard the news yet…..

    “For the first time, the Palestinian government has submitted a referral to the International Criminal Court (ICC) calling on prosecutors to open an immediate investigation into what it called Israeli crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories.”

    This bit explains the situation…..

    “The State of Palestine formally became a member of the ICC in April 2015, giving the court jurisdiction over crimes committed in the territory since June 13, 2014 – including the 2014 Israeli assault on Gaza. ”

    So seeing as chunky bans on about failed states in south america. Here a right wing one.

    Argentina. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/article-argentina-in-crisis-again-and-that-could-spell-trouble-for-emerging/

    Funny how the election in 2015 and so called reforms have led to a screaming pile of dog crap for the people of Argentina. But hey just another right wing government using austerity to screw over the population.

    Anyone recognise the reform spin? Or the old chestnut B.S. line “of a bit of pain for a better future.” Richard Prebble eat you heart out, well he ate poor people hearts at least.

    How many times are these Liberals going to tell these lies? How many times are you going to believe it?

    1. 4.1

      How many times are these Liberals going to tell these lies?

      As long as they work to get them elected into power so that they can continue to screw over poor people.
