    Auditor needs to be a CA. We can work round that.

    ACT wants no increase just a better deal, i am tableing a proposal to levy fuel only, pay as you go as it were. the more you use the more you pay, i spent several years scraping friends,dickheads, and locals off of the road as a voli firefighter, and you know the worst crashes bike or otherwise were caused by non-registered or warranted vehicles, and those drivers pay no fees at all but use the most of the dollars in mt experience, so a fuel levy will catch them too, and the lower rego will engender more warrant compliance.

    I would have thought ACT would be against rampant inflation as well.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    ACC via an increased levy on fuel has been BRONZ policy for many years.

    I almost got converted, this chick I was keen on went head and heels into it, saffron robes and all, so I said I'd be one too. But then I found that part of the deal was she wasn't supposed to let me screw her, which was the whole point of the exercise (so to speak, so to speak) . So I called it off. Dunno what hapened to her.

    But I don't think the Krishnas classed as a political party.

    I can't be a member of a politcal party cos I used to be a member of a political party which disappeared. So now none of them will have me.
    I think your so called defunct party just changed it's colours from red to green!

    I do not belong to any political party but do have leanings toward some of the Libertarianz (freedom of the individual) points of view!

    I voted National last election, hoping for some change towards "Law and order" but can not see any change yet nor any on the horizon!

    I am deeply pissed off with this current attack on motorcyclists!

    Even more so with the AA interference and attack on our means of transport and the enjoyment we derive from it!

    No, I just ate their food. I was broke, and the Krishnas' gave you cheap (or free ) food. Hey, and a young guy will agree to a great deal for a root.

    You didn't have to agree with them . They fed you anyway (actually, that sort of puts them into the Christ space) .

    I hate the AA because they have no justification to attack us. The ACC , it's just money - we cost them money, they want us to pay more. I can understand that . National party, they get upset because we don't conform to the lord and peon version of society.

    But AA - they attack us from pure malevolence.

    I had dinner with John Key once, very nice man and very intelligent. This was prior to him becoming PM though.

    Corrected for accuracy.

    John Key is very talented at saying what he knows people want to hear. I have had the pleasure of his company on several occasions and depending what group I am in (eg bikers old ladies, students) I have heard him say very very different things on the same subject.

    You should have heard what he said about motorcyclists behind closed doors at the National Party policy conference while we were protesting outside.

    He can't keep this up for much longer without getting caught out, but it's a shame he has so many people believing he's the 'good guy' at the moment.

    Well I have feeling that a few uni guys may be on the list for the Bill and Ben party, courtesy of the sign up sheet circulating around Shadows in April last year after the chiller... ><

    I was at the Auckland version of Backbenchers (the political panel discussion thingy on TV). They held a special one in Mt Albert during the by-election. The rep from the Bill & Ben party showed up late and the bouncers wouldn't let him in because the venue was full. He did everything to persuade them that he should be allowed in, but they said he could only go in if someone else came out.

    Poor guy phoned all his friends who were already in there, and not a single one would come out so he could go in.

    Who needs enemies when you have friends like that?!

    No - I don't usually subscribe to the whole damned manifesto of any one party in particular so they don't get my cash.
