Come election time...

...we'll need a handy dandy reference as to which Party's understand the issue and are on our side.

Let's accumulate links to statements by the various parties that get it right vs get it wrong.

Here are some Good Sense from the Green's...

No need to debate it... just link and remember when it comes to the vote.

I'll come be your Policy Researcher or something. I've surprised myself how much I've started to enjoy policy and politics since doing the endless numbers of papers on the subjects I've had to do at Uni. Can I have a park for my bike though please?

It seemed like a good idea at the time because folk had enough of Labour and the Greens.
Well fuck me with a beehive, we voted in a pro business conservative goverment whos only interest is fucking us over and giving our assets to their bloddy business mates. What the fuck were we thinking?
I would be the first to kick the crap out of Labour but they did do what they thought was right at the time. These buggers are only doing what they think is best for their business masters. How many more years of this until the next election?

A little over 2 years. The only thing that we can do until then is keep the heat on so they do not get to damage it all too much. And then next time; out they go!

Gotta be better than God botherers though right?

I hope labour come out with somthing that says some thing like..... As soon as we are the goverment we will change back the new ACC law. Then none of Mr Keys mates will want to touch the ACC account with a 12' pole.
Thjinking about it... This is why it has to be in such a cashed up position so the cash can dissapear and we get left holding the liability for a ACC system with no cash, when Labour get back in.
Dont forget that National spent all our parents money that was in the super fund. National has done this kind of thing before.
I bet this goes on my SAS file.

Goff did within a few days of the proposal

**StoneY** · 18th November 2009, 19:20

Labour HAVE said that

Dint ya listen to Phil yesterday, and Rick?

BOTH agreed that Labour may not have managed ACC perfectly, but its a given they did better than Nat's have.
They BOTH said ACC would remain a no fault pay AS YOU GO system under Labour

Whatever anyone thought of the Red's with the cotton wool (largely to keep thier Green's onside) attitude, it sure beat being SOLD OUT

National have broken EVERY promise they campaigned on, EVRY FUCKIN ONE of them, and within 13 months of winning the vote

Took labour 9 years to get ya pissed off enough to vote blue.....
My entry speech is over, now wheres my seat on the backbench!!!!

I have always voted National I'll admit it.... While I believe what JK is trying to do (excluding the ACC debacle) is putting us as a Nation in good steed, I am becoming even more disappointed with some key (no pun intended) matters that are affecting the average bloody hard working Kiwi. - My problem is I'm in that group. I qualify for nothing but am expected to pay for everything. The nail in the coffin for me was that w@nker Nix Myth saying he only just found out about the ACC figures etc....

My reply to him is 'BULLSHIT'.

I have worked in Govt for 20 plus years and have and will always support and fight for the underdog, however life is not all about give give give and now I'm wanting to take a little ..

My rant, no doubt I'll get a bashing

for being a righty LOL

The Greens will vote with the Nats as their policy is to raise the ACC levies.
