Green MP Sue Bradford asks the Housing Minister: Does he see any opportunity to simultaneously deal with the job losses in the housing construction sector and assist the nearly 10 thousand people on the Housing New Zealand waiting list?

Sea Lion Action at Parliament - by frog
Green MP Metiria Turei addresses the action in front of parliament, hosted by the Royal Forest & Bird Protection Society on Wednesday.

Well, next week, unless the Nats eat crow as awkwardly as Labour tried to do today in the House, this humourous little video from MohawkMedia, a.k.a. the g33k [...] read moreFebruary 19, 2009 9:52 pm - 5 Comments -

I have long been a fan of Grist.org, an online portal of environmental news and humour out of the USA.

Sue Bradford on the “Fire at Will” Bill - by frog
Sue speaks in the House about the ambiguity in the new 90 day fire at will bill that may prevent fired workers from accessing the dole, despite National’s assurances that this was not their intent: It is this sort of ambiguity that would have been picked up and corrected at a select committee.
