that's not good :-( Are you able to change provider? Sometimes the smaller organisations are better than the big ones.Written By: weka - Date published: 10:13 am, August 25th, 2026
That's terrible for you Mum, and not great for you either. Do everything from now on in writing. You can still do phone calls, just keep a log and record of what is discussed. write up a synopsis of the events as you know them, and of the call/s you've ...Written By: weka - Date published: 7:16 pm, August 24th, 2026
have they said how it would be done?Written By: weka - Date published: 7:16 pm, August 24th, 2026
I understand Labour and Green die hards hate Top but at this point there's no realistic way Labour can form a government without them I'm probably a Green diehard, or at least I've only ever voted for them since the 90s. But I agree with you, TOP would be ...Written By: weka - Date published: 12:31 pm, August 24th, 2026
Which brings me back to dialectical materialism: perhaps we should pay more attention to the material conditions shaping their politics than to the politics we assume they ought to have. you can say that again. The left's biggest problem at moment imo.Written By: weka - Date published: 11:40 am, August 24th, 2026
I'd have to look up the timing, but don't opinions lag behind political events? ie they don't show up in polls taken so close to the event.Written By: weka - Date published: 11:39 am, August 24th, 2026
thanks! I think it's just as likely that there is movement between Lab and Greens, as well as the usual movement from swing voters. TOP are the wild card, and I'm more and more inclined to see their presence in the election as a good thing because it's ...Written By: weka - Date published: 9:42 am, August 24th, 2026

is anyone looking at the non-vote in currently polling?Written By: weka - Date published: 9:36 am, August 24th, 2026
is taking enough votes (mostly off the Left) We don't actually know that. I'll have a look later, but there was some polling about where TOP's vote was coming from, and it seemed to be across the political spectrum. What we really need is one of those ...Written By: weka - Date published: 3:00 pm, August 23rd, 2026
it's not like there aren't consequences to using labour saving tech.Written By: weka - Date published: 1:36 pm, August 23rd, 2026
as someone who has long argued for sustainable farming models while watching dairying trash our environment, I feel like I understand what you are saying here. But I'm more politically luddite on this. Humans don't need AI data centres. We have other ...Written By: weka - Date published: 10:51 am, August 23rd, 2026
I'd like to see Tame or similar ask Wong if she supports teh GP moratorium and how she understands it.Written By: weka - Date published: 10:50 am, August 23rd, 2026
that's like saying all dairy farms are equal in terms of impact. They're not.Written By: weka - Date published: 10:49 am, August 23rd, 2026
the land tax is regressive and penalises low income people who own their own home. The UBI has some holes in it, mostly around social security for people that can't work, or can't fine suitable work.Written By: weka - Date published: 10:48 am, August 23rd, 2026
we should ban AIDCs and let other countries pollute and destroy communities so we can carry on BAU with the brave new economy. This is why I like the GP position. Let's slow down and have a real conversation about the whole thing. Pros and cons. Might help ...Written By: weka - Date published: 10:45 am, August 23rd, 2026
we already treat out drinking water reserves in a cavalier manner. For the industrialists, this is just another small step for mankind.Written By: weka - Date published: 3:43 pm, August 19th, 2026
TOP figures are based on 2025 or 2024 MSD figures. Comparisons in teh chart. TOP is a bit higher than Super. The land tax is a shit policy for this very reason. Tax high wealth instead, and use a CGT on property when people well. Land taxes are regressive, ...Written By: weka - Date published: 3:40 pm, August 19th, 2026

counter narrative: Arday was a plagarist and fantasist (haven't seen any discrediting of the major MSM reporting on this) He was enabled to rise so far beyond his capabilities because of unrestrained left identitarianism melding with neolilberalism Earlier ...Written By: weka - Date published: 9:19 pm, August 17th, 2026
TOP constitution The board will comprise no fewer than three and no more than nine persons who are members of the Party, being: 6.4. 1 five elected board members who are elected in accordance with these rules; 6.4.2 up to three appointed board members who ...Written By: weka - Date published: 9:02 pm, August 17th, 2026
Sorry, looks like my previous comment got munched. All political parties have power structures that allow for influence. The Greens attempt to mitigate this and do so quite well, but not completely. I understand that concern about corruption. Bear in mind ...Written By: weka - Date published: 6:54 pm, August 17th, 2026
the other thing I am sitting with today is how many people now don't relate to the left/right spectrum. Hence they understand TOP in a different way than the left or the right who are running around saying TOP is right or left.Written By: weka - Date published: 6:46 pm, August 17th, 2026
Regressive here means that low income people are disproportionately affected. eg we all pay the same rate of GST on our grocery bill, but poor people can afford this less than wealthy people. Say a property as LV of $500,000. Someone on a pension and no ...Written By: weka - Date published: 6:37 pm, August 17th, 2026
agree. I think she'd be a big asset to parliament (assuming she could handle the aggro, but she's smart so must be thinking about this. I will still be voting Green this year, but I think lefties need to be careful what they wish for in terms of dissing ...Written By: weka - Date published: 6:16 pm, August 17th, 2026

is free GP care the state paying all GP costs? Or something else?Written By: weka - Date published: 3:04 pm, August 17th, 2026

It's why I prefer the GP approach. TOP policy is designed by economists, which is why they have to continually redesign to patch the holes. The Greens start from a wellbeing position, and design out from there, so vulnerable people are automatically ...Written By: weka - Date published: 11:21 am, August 17th, 2026
Yes, that's what I just said. Offset by better public services and society. I still think land taxes are regressive, for the reasons you name. But please let's look at the whole package.
