Bloomfields expertise is in Non communicable disease, Far from Ideal in this Situation im sure. Since when has National thrown taxpayer money around like this mob , i think they may of even arrived at the bottom of the pit they percieved as bottomless

You Jacinda lovers need to give yourselves an uppercut 

Just remember, you’ve only seen the “tip” so far .. now here comes the fucking iceberg 

By September everyone will be in pain because of her naive stupidity .. then we’ll see how they vote 

Yep , people didn't like Simon and had had enough , the last poll was the last straw BUT that poll will quickly be forgotten , just go back to Feb 9 , not long ago . This poll shows racing should be communicating with National , they are in with a big chance especially when the cost of comrade cindys lock down bites .

Can anyone tell me why racing and major construction was shut down , Transmission gulley is going to cost mega $ more , the company involved is entitled to demand a huge payment  and if they choose are able walk away  because of the lock down .

National is on 43.3 per cent (down 0.6) – 56 seats.
Labour is on 42.5 per cent (up 0.9) – 55 seats
Greens 5.6 per cent ((down 0.7) – 7 seats
Act 1.8 per cent (up 0.4 ) – 2 seats assuming it keeps Epsom
NZ First 3.6 per cent (down 0.4) – 0 seats.

NZF , 2.5% seems right to me so unless he wins an electorate he's gone and it's a changing world , Jones has just announced $600 million worth of promises are in the bin and will be redistributed , Northland ? maybe . 

Projects that are slow to get going will be gone so what about all weather the tracks Awapuni and Riccarton they seem to fit the criteria , we will know in a few days .

And another unwanted issue , The New Zealand public and thoroughbred animal rights groups are disappointed at the recently announced $72.5 million payout towards animal abuse. 

.Millions of New Zealand tax-payer dollars are being used to prop-up a dying industry. Take a stand and tell the government this is unacceptable, and your tax dollars should support essential services and sustainable and innovative business models. 

This lot want 5000 signatures to present to comrade cindy and had over  3000 in 10 hours .

 

 

Where do the animal right activists get there monies from?

Are they a registered charity like UNITE union in UK who are understood to be behind much of the rubbish we find ourselves in?

Did you by chance find out to that the "Unite Covid" ads went through to Labour party websites?

Animal rights activists seem to dye their hair, often pink, and need to wake up to the fact they are responsible for putting hair dye & hand sanitiser chemicals into our waterways which is killing off animals & ecological systems

Remember Winston Peters comments a few years ago abt REID RESEARCH POLLS?

Look it up, polls are usually undertaken involving less than 2000 people & multipled hence the lunatic decisions made on many issues that have dreadful consequences.

 

Racing was dumped into the category of "Sport"  worldwide by those who do the "scientific methodology/ modelling" & those idiots all need to be held to account. Hopefully the Simon Dolan legal challenge in the UK will help change that & have positive flow on impacts.

We should never have stopped racing, or carrying on our lives as normal unless we were infected by an infectious disease.

Be aware that Christchurch's virologist Dr Lance Jennings is in the thick of things also in the UK..he's got a share in an office & company with Scientists there and his "plan template" was used for NZ.

He has much to answer for in Criminal courts.

Both he & Bloomfield have spent time at WHO.

 It's observed the most common "exercise/ sport" the average politician partakes in is cycling...perhaps we should be ensuring all politicians are asked if they have attended a race meeting, or ever patted a horse...or greyhound

& Dr Mike Bakers expertise is in lowering our World Health standards as he's had around 30 yrs as Public Health Advisor & classifies items into "health" category products that are known to cause harm without any testing or independent follow up research. 

There's more than one Bloomfield with snout in trough, his brother is Stuart who is CIO of Waitemata & Counties Manukau DHBs. Stuart's wife, Jo,  is in charge of IT and another Bloomfield is Max who works for Labtests in Wellington.

They can all do with a wage cut.

I live in Tauranga and have spoken to Todd Muller a number of times. Don’t think he is au fait with racing but with his background in kiwifruit orcharding, Zespri and Fonterra I would imagine he would be supportive of racing’s plight. Positive that he is now the Nat spokesperson for small business.

Gubellini, we are sure you will enlighten him & tow him into line.

You have big shoes to fill been in the same location as Todd.

Did you see in an older article his wife, Michelle, used to live in Meadowbank, Auckland and worked as an Environmental officer ?

She appears to be full time mother of their 3 children, all have ginger hair.

Maybe we can find them all a horse to race...

Mike28 think you will find the Nat's have done more positive things for racing than Labour who have done zilch, bar Sue Moroney.

Helen Clark screwed up the industry.

Come on in Sue, here's your chance to work together for the betterment of racing with the Nats.

I know Nikki well....and talk to her often.....she keenly interested in racing, but more as a functioning part of the economy that as a sport to participate in.

Nikki is the opposition spokesperson on sports, and racing falls into that category ( Ian McKelvie is opposition racing spokesperson though )

If you wanted to ask Nikki one question, what would it be ? 

 

 

Does she have shares in a racehorse or greyhound?

If so which one, if not why not and when is she going to?

When was the last time she went to racing prior to Covid19 shut downs of our industry?

All this talk about consulting with the National party. We should be concentrating on establishing a rapport with the Labour party. With a 30% lead in the polls there is a very strong chance that they will be governing alone after the next election. Winston Peters will not be there to represent racing

Stables, check topic name & opening post sunshine.

There's plenty more on the others in here.

REID RESEARCH polls are unreliable as like most surveys only question around 2,000 people if that, hardly anything to go by.

Time pple woke up to that instead of taking notice of sensationalism in media , social media.

[meomy 971]

Judith Collins knows she will never be leader or deputy, heard her a few times on radio & don't think she's interested in such a role.

Seems to be in cruise mode & got ties to Cameron Slater which doesn't help her. Too much baggage there.

Luxton is not an MP yet but should get in and will have support with his international connections to get borders back open.

People still want to travel and will travel internationally despite scaremongering & silliness going on in the world.

Sometimes one has to look outside the square what those in wider world & international arena also want & need as in a situation like we have found ourselves, read up on what's happening in Europe.

Europeans are already talking how they should be working in solidarity together with other European countries and further afield.

Labour don't think or act like that unfortunately, nor do they seem to be very worldly.

meomy I can do better than arranging  for Todd Muller to race a horse. One of my pleasures is to give free shares to friends in horses I have shares in. These friends are keen on racing but can’t afford to get into ownership. I pay all the bills and they get a share of the stakes won. One of the horses has won just under $100,000. If Todd wants to have a share in a horse I will do the same for him. Four of the horses are trained within walking distance of where he lives. Would be great to chew the fat with him at early morning workouts!

Just to back up why racing should be talking to National , here's the Feb Colmar Brunton poll. It will be interesting to see if the all weather tracks at Awapuni and Riccarton are still going to be funded , last nights news suggest they may be in trouble .

National Party - 46 percent (Steady)

Labour Party - 41 percent (Up 2 percent)

Green Party - 5 percent (Down 2 percent)

New Zealand First - 3 percent (Down 1 percent)

ACT - 2 percent (Steady)

Māori Party - 1 percent (Steady)

New Conservative - 1 percent (Steady)

Don't know or refused - 17 percent

It's the third 1 News Colmar Brunton poll to show National in the drivers seat.

And last Thursday that trend was stopped with National on 29% and Labour on 59% with the latest Colmar Brunton Poll

WTF !!

I clearly said she was interested in the prosperity of the industry as a business rather than any interest in it as a sport 

hey p4p, the angle we were leaning towards in those comments was to get her involved in a hands on attendee and owner of a horse/ greyhound in racing together with her positive involvement from a business angle.

Women in racing have been of benefit, generally, to the industry.

When was the last time those operating Racing clubs, & those who work in Head offices running our business, personally picked up the phone to invite ALL individual politicians to the races?

Might be a good way to see their stance towards us and who not to vote for...

Correct Stables and what a great oncer that was , cindy will be regretting it , look what it's achieved , National has restructured and produced a very electable group of politicians .

The front bench will be very powerful making those behind comrade cindy and robertson look totally useless which they are .

Cool, Get some photos and put them online with his family looking on as your horses eat in their front garden having a yarn about racing!! 

Their children are of age where they are impressionable to take an interest and share the positives amongst school friends, we need young people interested in and attending racing.

You need to look at the sides and compare whose done what. Would you like a Union Rep/student activist or someone who has actually achieved. Say the bloke below. 
Folks the countries in trouble. What are you going to do? We need men and women of ABILITY to lead.

We don't need right wing Boris Johnson and Donald Trump lookalikes. These people couldn't give a stuff about the small business man or the workers laid off and now on the dole queue. We need people with compassion and understanding who will provide funding and support where necessary. The National party has a long history of reducing benefits and subsidies and if re-elected I have no doubt they will continue to do the same. We need a leg up, not the carpet whipped out from underneath us

Ok how about you put up a bio of one of your team and i will do the same. Never mind Bayly. Lets go man for man and woman for woman.

Never mind your benefits and subsidies. Thats just dopy stuff. A cost to the only thing that can get us out of trouble, that is the productive sector. Yes we look after the unfortunates but spraying money around is stupid.
