When I heard Helen on the news talking about "having a whip-round" and reading out the 0900 number, I had one of those moments when the blood pounds in my ears, vision greys out a bit, and i feel dizzy. It's just unbelieveable.

From the Labour party page:

New Zealand Labour message

’The Labour Party stands for the ordinary hard working family. Our party has a strong commitment to policies promoting social justice and security and equality of opportunity. Labour cares for the well-being of all New Zealanders. New Zealand had become increasingly divided and the gap between rich and poor was getting wider after a decade of ideological "free-market" economic policies had hit many people hard. Labour is implementing policies aimed at addressing these issues as it recognises that New Zealand needs a skilled, confident and employed population to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. We are restoring a sense of balance in our society.’

I like the last line... a sense of balance... yes - we're all given the choice to assist them out of their predicament

They were confused by the rules and now they're asking for a hand out???

Soooooooo - A lot of people are confused by the bus lane usage rules, and if anyone gets a ticket the done thing is to set up an 0900 number???

With respect - WHAT THE FUCK?

Ahhhh my children. I'm so proud of you all.

I have two questions.

1) Whay aren't they charged use of money interest? If I was late paying tax I would be charged.

2) This corrupt use of our money to over advertise Labours bullshit surely questions the results of last election.

Come on...fair's fair. If you overspent your credit card limit, the card company doesn't care where it comes from, they just want it paid back....:devil2:

It's another dubious action from the most corrupt government this country has ever seen.
I would 'accept' that 'twould be OK as long as all monies collected were counted against their spending limit for the next election.

They got that idea from the Simpsons episode where Homer gets in trouble for annoying the whole town with an auto dialer,begging for money.
The court orders him to appologise to everyone he called.
The final scene is the auto dialer calling every phone in Springfeild to appologise...
..and asking for the person called to send a buck to Homer to make him feel, better

Labour seems to love the term 'whip round', I remember last time they had a whip around for the police officers who were charged with dangerous driving, whilst under orders to get the manlady to the airport for a fucking rugby game. No wonder Australia is laughing at NZ, we put monkeys in the driving seat.

The whip around for the police drivers was the right thing to do. Their job is to do what their boss said, their boss said to drive fast so they did. When somone is following direct orders the legality of such is placed directly on the person who made the orders. Or thats how it should be.

This whip around is pure evil. stealing the money twice, at least im only directly paying once. YOU LABOUR BASTERDS Note to everyone who i advised to not vote labour last election - I TOLD YOU SO.

I agree, but my point was just illustrating another one of Labours highlighted moments since their last election to leadership (if it can be called that), its a fucking joke to call any of them a political party, a pill party maybe but that's about it.

there should have been no need for a whip round for the police men as it should never have been a case against them in the first place, it should have been a case against the govt.

Just as I predicted in another thread. This is not about paying the money back. It's politicks. As Don Brash has 'correctly said, Llabour has tried all the tricks under the sun to keep this from the public eye. Labour has to some extent been succesfull in this for reasons that I have previoulsly mentioned. Yes they have copped some bad press but that was going to happen anway. They have exposed Brash as a womaniser and the man who can not be trusted. That has yet to hit the public psych but it will in the right environment. No one likes cheats. All the parties with the exception of Jum Andertons' Progressive's have been found to be in breach of the funding guidlines. Yes Labour are in the shit for the biggest amount but they will still be standing on the moral high ground the longest paying this large sum back, while National and the minor parties will already have done so and slipped back into the valley of medocrity. Now think about this. Just for a moment put you political views to one side and look at the ramifications of what Helen Clark has done.

It's politicly very astute. At present there is no one who can even get close to her in the art of Real politik.

Now will Labour win in two years time?? Shit I don't know. History says no. Sometimes just sometimes a new event occurs; one that has never happened before.

And Cullen has a lot of money too.

And what is in it for me?

Besides a phone bill, well, NOTHING of course!

Besides, I won't ring that number even if I voted for Labour and everything else to do with Labour because after all, every single politician is filthy rich earning big dollars and therefore can easily afford to repay it over night.

Only in the military. Clark maybe the Prime Minister but she is a civilian. I doubt if she said more than a hello and goodby to the driver.

I still rankle at the overturning of convictions with the Motorcade. Suppose there had been an accident and someone killed or injured. Where is driver responsibility. No point in saying it's in the back seat with the PM.

No note quite... there many reasons why you can disobey a direct order and be in the right and clear... especially in peace time.... (in time of war that it does changea little some what)

ie putting your live or any member of your team crew, and or civilain in danger for no apparent reason blah blah blah... This i know from experience... :cool:

If the order seems reckless question it?

Politics: From the Latin word, poli, meaning many; and tics, meaning small irritating insects.

The lot of them should be shot. Politicians don't seem to get that we, as citizens of this country are the leaders. We should have the power, all they should do is put out views into action.

Billie-Joe Armstrong from Greenday has it right: "And remember one thing. Regardless of who the powers that be are, the people that you elect, that I elect into office, remember, you have the fucking power! We're the fucking leaders! Don't let these bastards dictate your life or try to tell you what to do!"

It pisses me off something chronic to know that the country I live in, along with many others in the world are being fucked over by pen-pushing pricks who think they know best. I have a quote, "Anarchy is true peace; those that are pathetic enough to abuse it, don't deserve it." That basically means that anarchy and the ideas it holds, are the only way we can achieve peace as a person. But people that abuse the right of doing what you want, by killing etc, don't deserve that peace. Democracy, communism, facism etc etc will never work, because that's how society is. People will always break rules set by the powers, and people will always rebel against them. But anarchy will never work in the way it was designed to, so we have politicians, unfortunately.

Politics are bastards. Nobody should be 'in charge' of a country. A country should be 'in charge' of itself.

With any luck, Labour will get to realise (due to the lack of calls to said number) that the vast majority of their supporters are the no-hopers who live off the state and who won't understand the concept of giving to the government. Their role, as they have been well taught by Uncle Helen, is to RECEIVE government donations.

This in a nutshell is the problem with politics in this dumbarse country, them or us! Look outside the square people, there's more than two party's out there, turn national and labour into minor party's with your vote and make some real changes.
