Japan has shown the way. Nutrition education is very important.

This is something covid highlighted and also with all of the current health system discussions.

The health system should be the end part of the treatment for issues that need medication or are terminal. A lot of the western health systems are clogged up with issues that are preventable by diet.

The push for health during covid should have pushed diet as well as exercise. The exercise was more to get out and get fresh air.

Recall when trump was voted in they were saying he was taking note of country leaders congratulating him. Perhaps Canada, Mexico and China’s message wasn’t congratulatory enough? Think the days of sitting on the fence are over for the likes of countries like us, who knows how we juggle that with our biggest trading partner?

We could promise to stop the harassment of Israeli tourists that no one is actually doing except John Minto, and just call off the tarrifs? Sounds like a win/win deal. Unless you live in Gaza.

Think NZ seeing a two state solution as the way forward could be an issue in their eyes?

Suppose that's a possibility, Trump and Bibi seem pretty tight. Hope not, because of the power and means they have to bully us into changing our position.

Winston Peters says Gaza 'a wasteland', criticises UN Security Council in speech

Use of the veto has seen the Security Council fail in its responsibility to maintain peace, the foreign minister says.

I wonder if in speeches like this that America thinks NZ sees Palestine with more rights than it deserves?

Actually crazy to even propose this. This isn't a primary school, it's a sports stadium.

No wonder no one wants to live in Palmy. Run by morons.

And it's a pretty ordinary venue to attract anyone to (both crowds and performers).

A good example of the council forgetting what they are elected to do

His opinion is generally informed, data driven, well researched and sensible.

I think getting private companies to build roads we don’t have and can’t afford to move more, faster (while there’s still slower existing roads) is not privatisation.

I think that private companies owning roads is exactly privatisation.

 

[Lord Gnome of Mooloolaba]

Mate, give it up... @MaybeTop8 has seen the briefing papers... plus stuff, Chlöe and Hipkins have said it's happening so it must be!!!

I've seen tbe papers mate

 

[miket12]

I've seen tbe papers mate

I was referring to briefing papers for these existing assets being sold in this post. I'd assume that, with your consultancy role, the papers you have seen were for new assets such as roading infrastructure and not these listed.

You’ve moved to Mooolaba? Well done mate.

Awesome motorway systems up that way.

 

[MaybeTop8]

Act, National don't care about New Zealand. They care about wealth extraction, profit, greed and privatisation. This is who they are.

Lest we forget.

How a failure of the imagination opens the door to privatisation

When public services are failing, it's easy to look to privatisation. But that doesn't mean we should.

What is that road kill and potatoes?

It looks like a huge meal. To be honest even if it was appealing I'm not sure I could eat all of that.
