NEW TYPE OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS FIRM TO SET UP IN NEW ZEALAND.

This is a firm that supports the Right of the Political spectrum.

Just wait for the Transparency and Anti-Corruption Watchdog (Bwahaha) Ms Bright to comment that it’s all a conspiracy to keep the Nats in power!

Andrei,
Perhaps I was imprecise with my words but Dividends are profit. Which he paid Tax on. And if Cameron didn’t have to pay Tax when he sold the Shares then there wasn’t any evasion. He also sold them in 2010 which differs from Pennys claim he still had them in 2013 when he voted to still maintain secrecy for Trusts.
Still, he has mishandled the issue. Instead of messing about he should have come clean right at the start.

Maggy is not a Global Warming denier. She, like most of us, is a Lukewarmer. Not like some who think the temp will rise 6C by 2100- which is an extreme view. But you probably know that but still resort to the scum tactic of the Left anyway and try to use labels to smear people.

Freedom of expression Chinese-style:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/09/world/asia/china-blocks-economist-time.html

The Economist and Time have joined the list of foreign news websites currently blocked in mainland China. The sites appear to have been censored as a result of recently published cover articles in the magazines critical of the growing power of China’s president, Xi Jinping.

Oh dear Kiwibloggers – whatever next?

The ‘unelectable’ Leader of the UK Labour Party – Jeremy Corbyn – now has higher approval ratings than (current) UK Prime Minister David Cameron?!

On top of everything else – surely David Cameron’s position as Prime Minister is now simply untenable?

So – how long before PM David Cameron resigns – or will he be rolled?

(Remember – there is a protest outside Downing St against David Cameron at 11am 9 April 2016 (UK time).

https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/659400/David-Cameron-approval-ratings-Jeremy-Corbyn-offshore-tax-EU-leaflet-petition-row

“DAVE’S DARKEST DAY: Tax scandal, EU leaflet row…now public like Cameron LESS than CORBYN
DAVID Cameron has endured his darkest day in Downing Street as his approval ratings slumped LOWER than Jeremy Corbyn’s for the first time. ….”

Boris Johnson for PM? Closely followed by Brexit- that would be good.

Penny, why have you earlier in the day (11:36am), copied NBR PAY-WALLED material and pasted it here on a free blog when the terms and conditions you agree to at NBR to gain access, expressly forbid such a breach of copyright
… not to mention any complications for kiwiblog host DPF?

Penny, perhaps you should be a little more concerned about your impropriety regarding NBR PAY-WALLED material, before busy-bodying about the British Prime Minister’s problems.

Or perhaps Cameron just has your problem: decided you’re must be right, because you always are
but didn’t read the small print.

Or, Penny, thinking about why you might be ignorant of the NBR terms and conditions, is it even your subscription you are using?
Now that would be a little naughty for a self proclaimed so-called public watchdog 🙂

So Hillary Clinton didn’t get an invite to the Vatican?

(Neither did Donald Trump or Ted Cruz – as it happens).

Bernie Sanders did …..

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-04-08/sanders-moved-by-invitation-to-visit-the-vatican-next-week

“Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders will travel to the Vatican later this month, a visit that would provide images of the candidate at a major international venue as his foreign policy qualifications are under attack by rival Hillary Clinton.

Sanders’ visit to attend an April 15 conference on economic and environmental issues hosted by a pontifical academy will put him at the seat of the Roman Catholic Church just four days before the New York primary.

The visit also potentially injects into the Democratic nominating contest the agenda of Pope Francis, one of the most popular world leaders whose leadership of the Catholic church is especially admired by the political progressives who play an outsized role in Democratic primaries.
……”

@Penny Bright

I am an atheist (or an agnostic if UT is about), so have always ignored Religious leaders when voting.
Have I been wrong? Should I fall in with the papists now?

Maggy vs mikey – I like it. Catfight – reow – reeeeow reooooow RE-OOOOOOOOOOOW !! EeEe-EeEeEEEEeeeee

Does anyone else hate all these useful shithead higher-ups and others on telly that nod their head ceaselessly when giving an answer ? I’m nodding – so – I’m right – and you must agree with me and be happy with my answer if I’m nodding like a drug addict. I’m nodding away – nodding, nodding – that solves everything then. So we’re going to respond by putting in a programme of nodding, and then there will be a robust nodding process, with a back-up nodding system, and then over time we will eventually nod even more than now – nodding more is the long-term solution to current levels of nodding. It’s weird media-training nonsense. No-one nods their head like someone furiously getting off.

Penny you are a poor excuse for a human being

I gave this a nothing tick.
I will say what she’s looking for is italics rather than SCREAMING to add emphasis. What a **DICK** !!
To me it sums up a lot of leftie lunatics. Of course the code for italics requires time and effort – and PB is spread thin trying to spam as much of planet earth with her stupidity as possible.

In fact – when you think about it – she does very well with her level of typing coherence. Considering she’s flying through the daily spray like a 1960s breakneck pace typing pool in her full-time quest to eliminate all the wrongdoing of The Man – the quality is probably in all fairness remarkable. I’m just guessing. Maybe she has an actual typing pool of geniuses that have been lured over to the dark side. That would rule out a lot of protesters with their primary age reading and comprehension level. Who knows ? (Sean Connery voice) ‘Fashinating’.

I work on an ‘issue by issue’ basis Maggy.

In my view, people should ‘seek truth from facts’, think for themselves, and act accordingly, as informed individuals – not
unthinking ‘follower the leader’ SHEEP.

It seems that Bernie Sanders shares SOME views with the Pope, particularly on global inequality.

What I found interesting was the claim that Bernie Sanders wasn’t ‘qualified’ for the job of US President because he lacked global ‘leadership’ experience – sort of thing – next minute he’s invited to a significant international conference at the Vatican?

I’m sure Hillary Clinton will be thrilled with this development – NOT.

Cheers!

Thank you Kiwibloggers for helpfully alerting me to my mistake, of quoting on Kiwiblog excerpts from a ‘subscriber only’ article.

(I am actually an NBR subscriber).

So – this is what I’ve just posted to NBR:

“REALLY sorry.

I quoted excerpts from this very helpful article on Kiwiblog to help encourage ‘informed debate’ on the NZ ‘tax haven’ issue not realising it was ‘subscriber only’.

My fault – I should have checked more carefully.

I love Bernie Sanders. The more States he wins, the more split the Democrats become. The more likely his supporters are going to stay home when the corrupt Democrats fuck him over and pick Hillary anyway. Bless him Popey, Bless him.

There … even the greatest of us can make mistakes … and admit it
I guess with David Cameron too, he just didn’t realise it was “tax haven only”
REALLY sorry – simple fault – I so should have just checked more carefully.

10 upticks – that must be near a record

I used to enjoy internet porn often but then a feminist friend of mine said, “Seriously go look at the way they’re manipulated into performing. The way they’re mistreated is repulsive”.

So I did my own research & was horrified. I can’t even get turned on by it any more.

I just can’t bring myself to support an industry where men get paid so much less.

Your ‘issue by issue’ Penny is very selective against the Nats, JK and anyone else from the right of politics.
As stigie says; “Are you fit to be MARE of Auckland Council”?

Interesting who is on the Panama list.

Many readers will know the feeling of being silently, financially assaulted when parking in the city or at the airport, getting to the boom gate only to find the two-hour threshold has just passed and the fee is a cool $66.

Parking charges are eye-watering, but you may be surprised to hear that car-parking companies toil for paper-thin profit margins.

Mysteriously thin even.

Take Wilson Parking for instance, the company recently embroiled in the Panama Papers imbroglio and whose shareholders include Hong Kong’s prominent Kwok brothers. Wilson Security, a subsidiary, also does the guarding at the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres.

In the wake of the Panama Papers, Fairfax Media and University of NSW accounting academic Jeff Knapp looked into Wilson Parking and found that, like its multinational peers, it enjoys billion dollar revenue but alas makes a lamentably small profit, on which it is subsequently taxed.

Agree DH. But who gives a damn what they say. Along with StephieTV, and dim penny they are only commenting on KB for their own agenda and mischief. Directed by the confused gender affiliate of Iprent and micky from the standard. No money to follow as with the greens , but follow the posts. Simple and easy if you can actually read the shit the standard produces.

The direction is to bring KB down to a leftist intellect.

Do we allow them to?

A hardline Christian sect has told its worldwide following to “pray for the Inland Revenue Department” after a breakthrough settlement in a tax dispute.

The church last hit the headlines in New Zealand when it funded a secret smear campaign against the Green Party – a dirty politics revelation that cost their chosen candidate Don Brash the 2005 election win.

================================
Now fairfucked have an article about the Brethern which starts with this information.
Anyone and I mean anyone who reads and retains the news information would know that Don Brash was Leader of the National Party when the The Brethern Helped to fund the Nats.

Still never look forthe Truth at fairfa.

They go on about the Brethern.
I deal with them and I will say they are good to deal with, pay their bills promptly which is more than we can say for many other religious outfits and members, they grow their wealth (which is what the Govt. and the RBNZ et al are failing NZer’s on), and they are deep into personal responsibility and looking after themselves and their families.
Kinda right wing.

They have been slow to take up the technology but that has changed.

Poor marks for a scummy reporter today.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/78694811/exclusive-brethrens-told-to-pray-for-the-ird-after-favourable-settlement

The article at Fairfucked is about their win against the IRD and about a business conference.
Given a chance I would attend their conference.
