2020/09/23

Well, I don't know about you but last night it was appointment viewing for the first time in a long while with the first Leader's Debate. I know it's not a blood sport as the Prime Minister said, and that was a good thing. I thought there was a degree of civility. There was no shouting over each other. It was more a challenge of policies and plans and ideasBut I was hoping for a bit of spark and feistiness. And eventually it came but not for some time. For the first half of the show, I heard

Just when you thought it was safe to begin moving out of Lockdown 2.5, New Zealand's most populous city moves into Gridlock 1.0. I have mercifully been spared the horrors of trying to move around Auckland, which is congested at the best of times. With the Harbour Bridge out of action - at least, extremely limited in its function – travelling around the city is an absolute nightmare from the stories I've been hearing. An hour and ten to travel two kilometres in the inner city. I can't even begin to

This Mt Roskill Evangelical Church needs to be taken metaphorically speaking by the scruff of the neck and have its nose rubbed into the mess it’s made. The church, which has now been linked with 43 Covid 19 cases, including all six reported yesterday, has been unhelpful, resistant and downright defiant in the face of edicts from the Director General of Health. While people are in hospital, while businesses are going under, while febrile souls are living in fear that the Covid will get them, while

Kerre McIvor: Student loans defaulters are thieves

2020/09/09

More than 5500 overseas based student loan borrowers have returned to NZ since April - nau mai, haere mai. Welcome home. But now you're here, if - and this won't apply to all of you - but if you're one of the bludgers who have refused to pay back your student loan, time to cough up, kids. The arrogance of particularly overseas based student loan defaulters is legendary. I've been banging on about this for years. In 2010, overdue repayments from overseas students rose 111 per cent last year and

We were talking on Friday about the shocking UNICEF report that showed how poorly our children are doing on so many many markers. I'm sure you'll have seen the results by now - we were failing on just about every measure except air quality and water pollution. And then as if to prove the point, a 10 month old baby dies in Starship Hospital over the weekend from injuries inflicted in the home. A child is killed every five weeks in this country and there are 14,000 substantiated cases of child abuse

Yet more inconsistency and fluffiness from the government around rules for Aucklanders. Aucklanders are being encouraged to travel to prop up the terminally ill travel industry, and yet at the same time, they're being told that they shouldn't be attending conferences out of the city. What on earth is the difference between eating in a Queenstown restaurant and sitting in a Queenstown conference room, both in a socially distanced, safe kind of way? Apparently, according to the government, the alert

Normally when somebody apologises, that's it, it's over. If you do it properly, there's an admission of guilt, acknowledgement of suffering, a promise to never do it again, and an explanation of the lessons learned. However, the apology from embattled Greens co leader James Shaw has done nothing to quell the outrage over his decision to hand over nearly $12 million dollars to an alternative learning campus in Taranaki. He is reported to have held up the allocation of $3 billion dollars worth of

In the past, I have been all for easing border restrictions, letting in foreign students, opening up travel corridors with safe countries. That's because I assumed that what was happening WAS actually happening. That border staff were being tested, that new arrivals were being kept apart from those who'd been quarantined longer and that they were being tested for Covid before being allowed back into the community, that Ministry of Health officials were on top of contact tracing, and that there was
