Haha solar panels would be fine if the powers that be acknowledged the inherent risks and built the grid around massive swings of intermittent energy. Alas they haven't and now Australia is staring at a Feed-in-charge for solar

Once again, look at the empirical evidence in Australia. Libertarianism only works if you are able to comprehend the concept
Once you comprehend science and climate change, and cut out the conspiracist fascism let's talk then

Wasn't the SmokeFree legislation doing precisely that by saying people form a certain age could never buy cigarettes? Really good then, in your eyes, that the Atlas run ACT Party got rid of it?

No. Smoking, vaping is vile - I'd love to see it gone. Also not good is the corruption driven by Big Tobacco and enabled by this government through NZ First and Casey Costello.
But of course the wider issue is being utterly spiteful and punitive on the poor yet again, while extracting wealth upwards at a rate of knots. It's a war on the poor, which will ultimately extend to all of us.
Those preaching less government are forcing authoritarian diktats on the poor. Yet again.
Of course that’s the side you take. Others would say that certain demographics need more of a helping hand to make good decisions. They’re a caring bunch this coalition.
Of course that's the side you take.
There's a certain demographic that needs a good taxing that's for sure

Once again zero original thought displayed.
Utter economic mismanagement apart from, of course, enriching the elite few

Excellent self reflection Mr Brownstone, nice to see.
The unofficial committee is rounded out with former MPs Jackie Blue, Jo Hayes and Belinda Vernon from National, Nanaia Mahuta, Lianne Dalziel, Steve Chadwick and Lynne Pillay from Labour, Ria Bond from New Zealand First and Sue Bradford from the Greens. All are working on a 'pro bono' - unpaid - basis.

Intergenerational welfare dependence is vile.
This isn’t going to affect people on welfare looking for a job, it’s a last resort punitive approach for those not interested in contributing to society while they live off it.
This isn’t the poor or disadvantaged. This is the losers.
That’s exactly the effect excess tax does. It limits what I can and can’t buy to pay for the people that I support but don’t want any consequences…

I know I'm old and it takes time for things to filter through but am I wrong in assuming that there are men paid more than women doing the same thing? I though that was illegal in NZ?
So, if men and women doing the same thing are paid equally where is the issue?
Is it because the public service unions have figured out a way to grift more dosh by saying a primary teacher is at the same level as an airline pilot (both have responsibility for their passengers) and once entrenched there (and costing $12b a year) it can then be unionised into the private sector?
Methinks the proletariat are being misled. Don't hear anyone from the nurses for example wanting to be compared to a Thoracic surgeon. Go figure. Just another grift. As Mark Knopfler would say, Money for nothing and the votes are free.
