Your silence reinforces my suspicion, that in essence, Labour seems to agree with the direction of the approach.

Results/can-do spirit (use these!) Not talking about being “centrist”. (i mean..could you be more cliched/’wrong’..?.. Don’t waste time on famous-last-words predictions about the Greens’ performance at the next election. Its clear that green politics has become hegemonic throughout the West, even to the point that right wing parties use the term ‘sustainability’ as much as anyone.

There is “nada” to be heard from Labour’s welfare spokespersons on Dr David Bratt, on the hideous, draconian and unjust, inhumane welfare reforms, where they now expect sick and disabled to prepare for work. ), A Wgtn Green insider once told me that he believed that at least 80% of their voters would support Labour if the Green party did not exist. She holds her head high as she prepares to address her team. I hear stupid comments from people saying, the Greens want legalisation of marihuana, want to close down all mines and industry, and that kind of stuff, which is totally twisted and untrue rubbish. Jonathon – don’t lose the faith as I will be working extremely hard for the people of Napier and this issues that you all tell me are important. Could a Labour-Green coalition be any more unstable than National’s coalition partners, John Banks and Peter Dunne – both of whom have lost their ministerial portfolios, and exist only at the pleasure of the Prime Minister?! Get alerts for free tips, key content, and other training opportunities. There are some cases that a normal GP can do (eg after an operation etc) but a lot of conditions are not straight forward. […] propagandist, recently posted a blog about Labour needing to get its language right this year (‘it’s not what you say, but what they hear’).

And even the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (and their NZ members) suck it all up what comes from Aylward at al, as if it is all undisputed science! Financial security I would have thought that when Cunliffe ascended to the leadership position through the bare knuckle support of the rank and file the first thing he would do was attempt to develop a more democratic process within the party system – serving as a means of more closely involving the membership while consolidating his position and signalling to the general public a more attentive style of governance, it does not appear to have been the case. ..and knowing that being caught out lying in a public forum would not be a good look for you.. .i/we will take yr silence as a yes..eh..? 5.

As for oil drilling and coal mining, I think the Greens are opposed to the risky drilling (deep sea) and mining (seabed and more mines on land), and to expanding it, not to stop mining full stop across the board.

Substantial information on ALL this, the medical aspects, the issues relating to Dr Bratt, the “designated doctors”, and what else ties in with it, was sent to David Cunliffe’s office, Grant Robertson’s office (during the Labour leadership contest), was pointed out to Helen Kelly (via The Standard, repeatedly), who as CTU leader even volunteered to support the “work is good for your health policy statement” that even the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, short RCAP, published a couple of years back! Your silence reinforces my suspicion, that in essence, Labour seems to agree with the direction of the approach. Yes there was a small blip of Cunliffe looking good but his inability at removing Goff, King, Mallard and the other Neo Liberal Conservatives who cannot keep themselves out of the SKY box has killed off any chance of him doing well. Yes, it is a fair issue, but hardly ever does she comment on the extremely stringent application of “work capacity testing” by WINZ, their biased “designated doctors” (paid and “trained by MSD!

All-American It seems Labour has nothing much to say on it. Aylward’s “research” on disability was “sponsored” by a US disability insurer that was convicted for fraudulent practices on a number of occasions in the US! Geraint, if that is how you read the post, then read it again. ... what I was trying to say, but came across this post (featuring a different quote in the title! ..you are seeming more and more the ilk of the captain of the titanic.. ..as you still come here to stand on the bridge.. ..and confidently urge ‘full steam ahead!’..eh..?

She holds her head high as she prepares to address her team. I hear stupid comments from people saying, the Greens want legalisation of marihuana, want to close down all mines and industry, and that kind of stuff, which is totally twisted and untrue rubbish. Jonathon – don’t lose the faith as I will be working extremely hard for the people of Napier and this issues that you all tell me are important.

And even the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (and their NZ members) suck it all up what comes from Aylward at al, as if it is all undisputed science! Financial security I would have thought that when Cunliffe ascended to the leadership position through the bare knuckle support of the rank and file the first thing he would do was attempt to develop a more democratic process within the party system – serving as a means of more closely involving the membership while consolidating his position and signalling to the general public a more attentive style of governance, it does not appear to have been the case. ..and knowing that being caught out lying in a public forum would not be a good look for you.. .i/we will take yr silence as a yes..eh..? 5.
