After that idiot Leadbetter gave her a Jim Furyk golf swing, the new yappie coach has made it worse. Co-incidentally he has also destroyed the form of the hottest player on tour, Ariya Jutarnigan. Impressive effort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Report post Posted September 3, 2017 You guys are getting a bit mercenary, with more people having to rent, the situation had to be addressed. Normal family people living their lives totally at the beck and call of a landlord, need more surety in their lives We rented for a while when we sold the family home Got moved out, 42 days notice because the landlord wanted to move back in, all had to happen the week before Xmas, not much fun Then in the next property, got 90 days notice, because the property manager took a dislike to us, because we insisted that a very badly leaking roof in the garage was fixed. No recourse for us, just 90 days. As it happens we took them to the Tenancy Tribunal, and got several thousand dollars comp, but still had to move on. Sure, a lot of dodgy tenants, but many more responsible ones, who just want some certainty in their lives Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy86 2,710 Report post Posted September 3, 2017 Hesi and Uber--have a read of Paul Little's piece about Election debates on the last page of North and South. The debate 42 years ago between Muldoon and Rowling had issues of the day 1. Rising house prices--doubled in 3 years 2. Young not being able to afford a house 3. Flood of immigrants need to be stopped 4. Reign in house speculation. Sound familiar. Except that 42 years ago there were no bleating millenials, interest rates were 15% and boomers lived within their means , ate at home, drank less grog and had no expensive "toys".The immigrants are only doing the jobs that 150,000 so-called unemployed will NOT do. barryb, Pam Robson, dock leaf and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohokaman 5,843 Report post Posted September 3, 2017 Must be a Labourite Hesi, look at the drivel about Ardern... On Labour's Jacinda Ardern he was fulsome. "Well it appears she's got youth and she's got energy, and she's almost - without blaspheming - she's the John Key effect for the Labour Party." No experience, policies or new ideas though...airy fairy values will do eh Bruce....? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all I've actually voted for the Nats for all of my voting life, but I don't like the way the senior Nats have become so smug. If you recall, Clark and Cullen also had become very smug, before they got ejected. Seems to be a malaise with pollies that have been on the Treasury benches for too long Apologies, just realised you were talking about Braid. You cant level flaky and lefty at Fran O'Sullivan either, probably the most objective and hard hitting journo in NZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crustyngrizzly 1,702 Report post Posted September 3, 2017 It always amazes me when successful business people are trotted out to give their political view. I wonder how many of them would be successful if it wasn't for tax loop holes etc. Woodrow Wilson in 1812 said ''Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because it's bigness is created by priveleges and exemptions'' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
