No, not more champers, cashing in discounts on international flights for a chunky payrise on top of the 1.5%

If it builds some better roads 3c a litre is chump change. Then 6c and 9c...
They could cut welfare by 3 c per person per day...

Cut ones champes and one will get miffed , and slap a ttax or two on beer , or Acc ,
One has an image to up hold and cannot do it on ( a common vulgar vernacular , ) chump change
fill up those tanks , for get about the roads and starving children
and have a merry xmas
I of course will , The wife and I are going to Monte , for spot of R and R
Remember , you may be struggling but every penny of your hard won taxes will be gratefully if not expectedly tken and spend in a fasshion I know you all would approve in this festive season

Like any other fucking government wouldn't put the price up, if the greens were in charge they'd put it up and say it's for the buses instead.

Same result, different excuse.

Roads, pah. Best use the money building shit to alleviate the need to shuffle more people to the same old bottlenecks only slightly quicker.

If twats had more sense than to drive past their own neighbours in 5 and 7 seat cars and get all bumper to bumper driving to the same destination...no sympathy for retards sorry.

Enjoy that Toll road they gonna build...They should be tolling empty seats.

Agreed... but I'd rather not pay for that where there are alternatives.

I most certainly won't use it as there's feck all wrong with the current one other than it's a little bit slower. Agreed on the empty seats.

:2thumbsup Step hen. Saw the three headline nicely positioned to give a biased impression. Slap another 9c on petrol, excuse roads. Dear John reckons he is still on target to balance the books, bet that 9c per litre will help, and the MPs look like they will get a pay rise :woohoo:

What does the MPs pay rise really tell me, that the "higher salaries" in NZ have gone up so the MPs salary has to go up to keep pace. So where has the extra money from low wages and employment subsides gone? not to the people who need it but to those that already have it and now the MPs get their reward. :brick:

Vote Green and they will put up tax on petrol even more but by hell they will shake up the "system" at the same time.:shifty:

Not to forget the new road will not be to free up traffic flow for the plebs but to allow the trucking companies to run more and bigger trucks, this is what the road of national significances is about.

1.5% ?? Must have been a pretty crap performance appraisal.

Wonder what a politicians performance even appraisal looks like?

heheee student loans, one dreamed that one up, when one hit the gin

Do you honestly believe that the greens would go anything different?
As has been said before, they are all basically the same, a political party trying to stay in power. yes they change a few things but someone will pay more, someone less and the gruberment will still get their pay rises every year.

In the end most vote for the party that costs them less.

There you ask a complicated question. With their current policies I don't believe they will get in power because the policies are that little bit too different. But if they did then it would mean the way to stay there was their different policies so to answer your question at the level it is asked, rather than take all the other variables into account, yes. Oh and I neither said someone wouldn't pay more and some one less or that the MPs wouldn't get their pay rises, the difference would be in who does what paying and why. Middle ground tax payers will always pay more, just differently.

it all comes down to the fact that there is only so much money to go around. Law and order, health, welfare, education, they all want/need more...... $0.03 a litre each year is going to add $0.51 per tank for me. A grand total of $26.52/year. One less lotto ticket or whatever. Big deal. The funding has to come from somewhere.

And really it wont change as most have to bastardize their manifesto to get support so it all ends up so watered down as to mean nothing.

Almost nothing. Most of what the gruberment does is oversea influenced however each party brings their own flavour. A little more welfare for Labour, a little more farm and business for National and I would expect a little more anti-industry (including farming) pro whatever the current environmental band wagon is for Greens. A reshuffle of the pigs at the trough, enough to make it amusing.

On balance, I'll suck up the petrol tax increase in preference to the "set printing presses to infinity" economic policy proposed by the Greens and about to be implemented in Japan...

There is certainly no evidence to support that proposition.
Perhaps they could start by using soap?

:rofl:@printing presses... coz QE or CE or whatever mechanism is used to currently allow money to be printed without economic turmoil is oh so different. We can print money because govts have printed some bonds/assets. So, we print money from thin air because the bonds/assets that have also been "printed" from thin air have a value that negates/offsets the thin air money printing economic turmoil trap. A rose by any other name would be just as stupid.
