Exactly how far out of touch...

If anyone steps back and takes an overview of this thread, it explains the current situation in NZ and indeed the world. Imagine if everyone on KB was like-minded and shared the same views.

You're never going to see everyone agreeing on the right way to solve the issues in front of us and KB is a prime example of why.

Are we reading the same thread?

I was about to suggest we (as in KB'er) all storm parliament, Take over the running of the country, outlaw cars, make registration of motorcycles free, and get in some dancing girls.

If you repeat things often enough, it becomes fact!

Are you studying political science?

I could be tempted , i'll check the diary

Wasn't that around the middle of 2009?

I think so. Pretty recent.

God I love National/Act. They really are the best.

Mid 2009 that the Green party were caught double-dipping on a place in Thorndon (two MP's both claiming the rent)...that's not to mention the super scheme that is "all within the rules"...

I am not in a position to study, I am a conglomerate that came together to subversively influence the thoughts and opinions of internet users.

Our tendrils run deep through every community, we have many faces,many names,our power is unlimited, till this point you have never heard of us, and you never will again.

But we are here, and we control the moods of the populace.

When the walls crumble, it will be us who pressed the button.

yes, that happened. The difference it was a genuine mistake and was identified and revealed by the Greens, as opposed to Bill English's little scheme which had been cleverly set up using trusts etc, and as I recall he initially tried to deny it and justify it before giving up under media pressure.

And the place was being rented at below market rates and they were claiming less than they could have if the Green party had chosen to claim market rates (which they would be entitled to do). Bill charged market rates too.

That's what they claimed anyway...would have made a good Tui ad at the time.

Of course. Why let the facts get in the way of a good prejudice, hey?

[MisterD]

My prejudice is that they're all politicians and that there's nothing different or special about the Greens. Their super arrangements are carefully structured to maximise the taxpayer funding, they all hang on in parliament just long enough to maximise their perks afterwards...this whole "Party of Principle" schtick is bollocks.

F'rinstance Jeanette...really good of her to push the insulation scheme for us and it did her Pink Batts shares no harm at all eh?

Try this:

Ring up your local authorised trust board rep to get a price on having insulation installed under the scheme.

Then ring up your local hardware store and price up the required quantity of insulation.

Work out what you think would be a fair price for labour to install the insulation.

Try and work out where the subsidy money might have gone.
