• So does James Shaw actually have any degree or not?

    From JohnO@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 19 16:31:32 2023
    Mr Shaw could clear this up pretty quickly but won't provide a waiver. Take from that what you will:

    https://ianwishart.com/2023/09/james-shaws-ex-boss-justifiable-public-interest-to-probe-your-msc-degree/

    So... a government minister may be a fraud. You'd think the government would want this cleared up.

    And that is the important point, their record. Personally I care not whether
    or not James Shaw has a degree, but like many his actions fall into the
    neither confirm or deny basket, which a penny to a pound he has not got a degree.

    The court of public opinion will rule Okay.

    You have previously demonstrated that you are capable of at least

    deliberate misunderstanding or just yet another attempt to slur
    someone that has never done you any harm? I do expect more from you

    School and Victoria University of Wellington.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_reliable_source

    It is not an official University of Bath website.

    Shaw allow UoB to supply his application and degree details. He's hiding something.
    *won't* allow

    Are you so stupid, so ignorant that you don't understand that wikipedia is not authoritative and that anyone can put anything there? Even wikipedia itself clearly states this:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_reliable_source

    It is not an official University of Bath website.

    Shaw allow UoB to supply his application and degree details. He's hiding something.

    That "fact check" is a joke as it accepts political claims at face value rather than actually checking them. It says: "False: No fruit and veg GST savings will be passed on to customers (Luxon) - Grocery Commissioner will monitor pricing to prevent this."
    - which simply believes a political statement from Labour.

    However even the Ministry of Health says GST will not be saved by the consumer: https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/off-the-shelf/story/2018907819/ministers-were-advised-taking-gst-off-fruit-and-vege-would-not-lower-prices

    Labour as per usual ignored that official advice, along with the universal advice of independent economists to the same effect. All Labour are interested in is getting the votes of stupid people who believe their BS.

    "20 September, 06:32 pm
    Worst result for Labour in 1News polls in six years
    According to 1News, it was the worst result for Labour in their polls
    in six years. Then, Andrew Little was the leader and the party had
    plummeted to 24 per cent.

    Labour leader Chris Hipkins tried to put a positive spin on the
    numbers, telling 1News National appeared to have peaked and they would
    look to attract those voters.

    National's Christopher Luxon meanwhile told 1News he was not fazed by
    the dip, stating MMP elections were always close. He said he didnt
    think the dip was down to concerns over the partys tax plan including
    allowing foreigners to buy properties with a specific tax.

    Act leader David Seymour said the party had gone from one to 10 MPs in
    2020 fantastically well and he would be delighted to increase
    another 50 per cent.

    Green Party co-leader James Shaw said 15 MPs would be their highest
    ever result, the previous best being 14.

    NZ First leader Winston Peters meanwhile told 1News he believed the
    results to be an undercount. Peters has stated he would not work with
    Labour again, while Luxon has not ruled out working with NZ First,
    even though Seymour has indicated he would have difficulty working
    with Peters.

    There was 12 per cent of respondents undecided. The poll canvassed
    1001 eligible voters between September 16 and 19."

    "20 September, 06:32 pm
    Worst result for Labour in 1News polls in six years
    According to 1News, it was the worst result for Labour in their polls
    in six years. Then, Andrew Little was the leader and the party had
    plummeted to 24 per cent.

    Labour leader Chris Hipkins tried to put a positive spin on the
    numbers, telling 1News National appeared to have peaked and they would
    look to attract those voters.

    National's Christopher Luxon meanwhile told 1News he was not fazed by
    the dip, stating MMP elections were always close. He said he didnt
    think the dip was down to concerns over the partys tax plan including >allowing foreigners to buy properties with a specific tax.

    Act leader David Seymour said the party had gone from one to 10 MPs in
    2020 fantastically well and he would be delighted to increase
    another 50 per cent.

    Green Party co-leader James Shaw said 15 MPs would be their highest
    ever result, the previous best being 14.

    NZ First leader Winston Peters meanwhile told 1News he believed the
    results to be an undercount. Peters has stated he would not work with
    Labour again, while Luxon has not ruled out working with NZ First,
    even though Seymour has indicated he would have difficulty working
    with Peters.

    There was 12 per cent of respondents undecided. The poll canvassed
    1001 eligible voters between September 16 and 19."
    Undecided voptes can go several ways. There is no scientific method for determining what they will do.
    So the debate is fatuous.

    They may have questioned other than on a strictly random basis, thus

    "20 September, 06:32 pm
    Worst result for Labour in 1News polls in six years
    According to 1News, it was the worst result for Labour in their polls
    in six years. Then, Andrew Little was the leader and the party had
    plummeted to 24 per cent.

    Labour leader Chris Hipkins tried to put a positive spin on the
    numbers, telling 1News National appeared to have peaked and they would
    look to attract those voters.

    National's Christopher Luxon meanwhile told 1News he was not fazed by
    the dip, stating MMP elections were always close. He said he didnt
    think the dip was down to concerns over the partys tax plan including
    allowing foreigners to buy properties with a specific tax.

    Act leader David Seymour said the party had gone from one to 10 MPs in
    2020 fantastically well and he would be delighted to increase
    another 50 per cent.

    Green Party co-leader James Shaw said 15 MPs would be their highest
    ever result, the previous best being 14.

    NZ First leader Winston Peters meanwhile told 1News he believed the
    results to be an undercount. Peters has stated he would not work with
    Labour again, while Luxon has not ruled out working with NZ First,
    even though Seymour has indicated he would have difficulty working
    with Peters.

    There was 12 per cent of respondents undecided. The poll canvassed
    1001 eligible voters between September 16 and 19."
    So you live in hope that 12% will vote Labour?
    1001 eligible voters? Why such a pissant number?

    That is the number of people surveyed - it balances cost against
    greater accuracy.

    Undecided voptes can go several ways. There is no scientific method for
    determining what they will do.
    So the debate is fatuous.

    My bet is that Labour get less than 25% in the election. Despondent lefties will be too apathetic and discouraged to bother voting so their polling will be overstated.

    Your muddled thinking still points out that the polls may be
    unreliable.

    think the dip was down to concerns over the partys tax plan including
    allowing foreigners to buy properties with a specific tax.

    Act leader David Seymour said the party had gone from one to 10 MPs in
    2020 fantastically well and he would be delighted to increase
    another 50 per cent.

    Green Party co-leader James Shaw said 15 MPs would be their highest
    ever result, the previous best being 14.

    NZ First leader Winston Peters meanwhile told 1News he believed the
    results to be an undercount. Peters has stated he would not work with
    Labour again, while Luxon has not ruled out working with NZ First,
    even though Seymour has indicated he would have difficulty working
    with Peters.

    There was 12 per cent of respondents undecided. The poll canvassed
    1001 eligible voters between September 16 and 19."
    Undecided voptes can go several ways. There is no scientific method for
    determining what they will do.
    So the debate is fatuous.

    My bet is that Labour get less than 25% in the election. Despondent lefties >>will be too apathetic and discouraged to bother voting so their polling will be
    overstated.

    Your muddled thinking still points out that the polls may be
    unreliable.
    Of course they are unreliable, but you continue to mention them. The undecided mean nothing and the polls mean nothing. In a very short time there will be a very meaningful poll - till then indulge your fantasies.

    They may have questioned other than on a strictly random basis, thus >>>skewing the results. It is why all poll results are irrelevant once
    the actual election results are available.
    So why are you focussing on undecided voters - what a waste of your limited >>ability.

    Clearly the whole discussion was beyond your limited mental faculties.
    This was an unusual report in that it gave the level of undecided -
    usually they just assume that undecided will vote in the same
    proportions as those that have decided. Yes it makes the results less >meaningful - but still well above the level of meaning in your posts .
    . .
    More abuse from you and a stupid bit of illogical nonsense.
    The entire converstaion is fatuous. you made absolutely no valid point but persist with your Goebbels imitation.

    So... a government minister may be a fraud. You'd think the government would want this cleared up.

    James Shaw is as phony as the man made climate change he deperately
    wants to happen.

    Bill.

    Well we don't know whether Shaw has a degree or not but Mr Brooks is absolutely correct. We should be able to check whether people in positions of trust and authority are as qualified as they say.
    Having a degree proves very little about a persons ability. But claiming incorrectly to have one tells us volumes about a persons integrity. So the issue matters.
