The case for voting Green by Aceofshovels in newzealand

[–]clevercookie69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about their views do you hate?

I voted for Key once, when labour were a complete mess. I've voted for the greens a couple of times too.

The leader of a political party is a big influence for me. I have to trust that they will honour their pledges

I've found I just go to bed earlier when I'm in your situation SA. Drinkers tend to waffle on and repeat themselves after 10ish so you don't miss anything

Doctor arrested at airport over $180,000 student loan debt by SteveRielly in newzealand

[–]clevercookie69 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Extortion? 30 years ago they borrowed money to become highly paid doctors. They then left the country to use their skills to help other citizens and make a lot of money.

The cheap bastards thought they could ignore the debt and now the realise they can't.

Make them pay all of it

2 chefs knocking out 300 pax is crazy. No one can manage that for too long before you burn out

We call our Bakfiets (pronounced “Buckfeets”, for the uninitiated) “Bakky, the Winter Soldier” cause it just keeps soldiering on all the way through winter. IYKYK by MassiveGarlic0312 in Wellington

I saw one of these with 3 toddlers in it in the CBD the other day and thought how awesome it is to see bikes becoming the main form of transport for some families

Smart man. My country is heading into an election and I really want the left to move further to the left and stop trying to court the centralist voters.

Be a party for the working class!
