Wrong call from Jacinda.

It's a stain on her reputation.

New Zealand was conspicuously absent from a statement issued by the other Five Eyes countries — Australia, the US, the UK and Canada — condemning the arrest of democracy advocates in Hong Kong, although Ms Mahuta did issue a separate statement on social media.

All I need to do is respect him more and life will be grand! Perhaps this is why women should not lead countries.

The premium Italian tinned tomatoes are the best and I can't imagine theyd be anthing but Italian grown. I buy Aussie most of the time, but good EyTie tomatoes kill Australian.

The Italian tomatoes have a stronger flavor.
I prefer them.

I grow my own Romas - much better.... when I put a knife to their throat I say - "Arrivederci, Roma!"....

"Respect China," is Leftist Speak, for their turning a blind eye to the Communist Party's control of government by appealing to multicultural sensibilities. Although they will cite democracy when it suits them, Leftists have always sympathised with communist regimes, because they centralise the economy, even though they need to hold power with police and the army. Mao Zedong said, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." The NZ PM is a hypocrite, she was elected in a free Westminster System.

Wealthy Chinese love to load up on Japanese-made food and products because their own are contaminated: last time I was in Osaka I hardly saw a Japanese person in the tourist district and the Chinese were muscling each other out of the way in the chemists to load up on products to take back home. It was horrifying.

As someone that has lived here all their lives that video is kinda misleading. Austalia's mining wealth is relatively new, Australia rode on the sheep's back for a long time for eg. It's a snapshot of the last 1/4 century not it's history. It's not a complete or accurate history. Australia was not settled from the east and moved west, there were settlement points all around. It's a history that some Yank wants to be true.
