    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...
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    below is an interesting read
    page 13 onwards

    note it was a natonal policy in 1999 that lead to "future funding"
    and the eventual loss of the $4B

    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!

    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.
