Green-leaning and living, Rottie lover, rural dwelling Aotearoan.. ...until I left the Air Force for DOC after 28 years in the military, most if not all of my career decisions had been shaped by the Airfix and Revell catalogues from the 1970s...

I am staying in a motel without cable this, week (which is cool). But the TV ads! And the ACT one where DS is our best option because he (allegedly) built his own car... Now just counting the holes on the acoustic tiles...

The only worse thing than ACC are sons of the private companies that manage ACC for govt agencies like Police. Even more dishonest and deceitful. The ACC concept is great, the actual implementation long overdue for a brutal overhaul...

Also what evidence does Stanford have of correlation between 16 year olds and couches - or this is just something else that "someone" said to her for which there is no official record...?

This is a statement you make at the beginning of your term as govt. After almost three years, what have you done to our schools (and our country) that everyone just wants to leave...?

This mental image that cannot be unseen is offered to hopefully mark the lowest point of the luxon term of govt. Everything can only get better after this....

I know Suze and, TBF, a lot of her work this term has been on district-related issues. Unlike many of her peers, she does regularly get out into her communities. Most of the party stuff she posts is because she has been told to. There are many worse Nats, but shift to red or green would be ideal

We will. This refers to consumables like missiles and ammunition because the US oversticked on hubris and would not learn the lessons of Ukraine until it experienced them for itself...

Still no action from the same west that, in 2011, happily launched off against Libya for human rights violations, bit off way more then it could chew and had to be bailed out by the then less bad guy US... #HypocrisyMuch

A few horrible pink ACT ones along SH3 and SH4 but not nearly as many as last time. Lesser but about equal Nat/Lab/Green ones and way less NZF. I am greedy and have one each Green and Labour on our fence (no Green candidate in Whanganui)...

We rushed the buy of the navy helicopters in the hope that it would reduce the tariff. It didn't but because we were so desperate, we are paying the highest rate per aircraft of any other buyer...

While I think pay equity and social investment are more important than sucking up to the five eyes gang, the govt could invest a lot of that money domestically, create jobs and wealth and not necessarily in badda-boom items either...

Committing to an open-ended unbudgeted "emergeing" technology... Scaremongering from a defence force that's hardly in the game but wants to stay in the club... We don't need this and it's of limited if any use with our other relationships...
