Good Find, pity it wasn't in a national news Paper.

[Naki Rat]

Well written and laterally thought out article. Pity the one person who should read it probably won't :angry2:

[knuckles24]

that was well written, well done to the author of the article :woohoo:

[Flip]

Well good on Paul Owen...

[bogan]

oh noes, the article seems to have found its way into my very anti-biker bosses inbox:whistle:

A copy should be sent to that dick head from the herald!
A lesson for him, in what a real journo can write.

we need lots of copies to find its way plastered all over the place. Even if its only pointing out the obvious.

Superb article.

Paste them just above the toilet roll holder in all public toilets... they have time to read it too... plus when they've read the contents and shit themselves, there'll also be no mess...

So from what I gather from all this evidence about how these people are that have the honour of representing us, and deciding how to law our great society, has given me the impression they are all quite fucking hopeless at their jobs, and if I was this useless at any of the jobs I've ever worked, I would have been shown the door, and given a good beating on the way out.
National and Maori party imparticular.
I say we fund a referendum that votes on whether "If a minister of parliament fails to perform their duty to their represented members of society, they MUST do the honourable action of resigning from said posting in government altogether".
The fucking end.
This would weed out the fucktards.
And give us taxpayers value for money, with good leaders rising to become the cream of the crop.
Lets not procrastinate, LETS DO THIS THING!:angry:

here's another article, this ones from NZ Classic Car from February 2003. Another interesting read, with all points still valid now. Same argument really from 6 years ago.

Read through this, understood some of it, alot of it political and legal gobil D gook, Though it would be good if one of our bright young things could trans late it into Englanderish, but my understanding is ACC has been mismanaged for some time.

Make's sense for Paul to write something since he is a hard-core rider and so is his son. People that read Autocar are generally the types of people that understand why we ride and that all this is crap.

I did enjoy reading it and was gonna scan it as well (since subscribers get it about 10 days before everyone else).

Completely forgot that nick the dick is also the environmental minister. mmmm he obviously doesn't give a shit about the environment :)
