Hard News: Spring Timing, in reply to bmk,
but I certainly hope Labour or the Greens can offer me something that actually makes me feel enthusiastic about voting.
I'm pretty sure it can be as little as $5 a week and the legislation will take a while so you can anticipate some time until that happens and if they reverse National's changes then your employer will match it. I'm amazed how I can do it and it is satisfying to save.
Good luck bmk. Imagine your pay rate goes up as well which Labour are behind also along with the Greens.Maybe go straight past any emotion and think strategically. As Sacha said please don't stay home, we need your input. -
Really good ponder Gio.
I guess ,to choose one, came down to this photo of me at 3 and a 1/2. It would be the easiest to have because all others tend to have others in it and then all the memories cross paths with those people and places and I cant choose so by process of elimination this photo in Orakei for me shows I've always been pretty casual, I've always had a place to sleep and always been pretty independent. Thus happy today as I was back then. 'Twas and is a good life. -

the PDP/11 was apparently capable of continued operation when almost full of coal dust.
Ha! sounds like what t'others looks like now!
Yes I'm being figurative a bit here. I'll shuddup now. Can you tell I'm convalescing :) -

Not all services are as valuable.
Perhaps that's why people stick to and protect what they do do well. They feel valuable, no matter what industry they are in, and no matter what living they eke out. To be told you are now unemployed ,you are now redundant because your field of work is worthless must feel deflating. Of course some handle it, have to handle it and move on, and then some cant. Takes all sorts to do all sorts. Everyone should be able to feel valuable no matter what service.

The Greens seem to have a decent grasp of the IT industry’s potential, for instance.
True, but whats a miner gonna do in the IT Industry, not meaning to be stereotypical clothcap tofu eater of which, hmmmmm....

I think that’s probably more typical than the idea of a tightly knit community of tenth generation miners.
Yes there are those guys and so be it. However Pike River showed a community, family, with intergenerational miners. that's what NZers see. Interestingly Denniston is hugely important to the Greens now whereas in the past only Miners were there and pretty much no one is there now but Greens see it as really important. If viable options rather than just unemployment was offered in these places ,I'm sure the shift across to those would occur naturally but until then people hold onto what they have got.

solar panels aren’t at the top of that list. Better subsidization for heat pumps is probably next,
How about both, choice of one or the other, I mean I want more panels but can understand how others would want heat pumps for convenience.

That pointless arguing is why the swinging voters refuse to vote for Labour and to let a Labour-Green coalition into power.
So why on earth, Planet earth we all live on,do we let the swinging voter make up our minds?
The mining thing, Miners don't just see it as mining for mess and money. They see family ties, community, place of birth, job,history, much as Labour supports and stemming from way back in Waihi I imagine.The Greens don't see that in mining I suspect, much the same as many people don't understand why Cantabrians still want to stay in a CHCh after it's problems, the argument I hear is, swamp still sinking, will happen again, but I see family ties,community,place of birth,job,history etc. the mining situation is a bone of contention because Jones has a loud voice, the media love him, the Greens dont. Labour know they can work with Greens Greens know they can work with Labour. It's the voters who need to get past the fact that not everything they like about their respective Parties will make policy.That some parties need to join and compromise to form a government most of us can enjoy most of the time,not all of it. -

As I facilitated the donation in question, I can report - for the first time - that Peters was in fact telling the strict truth.
