    Indeed. But perhaps for a second we ponder for a second why we have what we have in NZ. What if it wasn't the big bad american machine? What if that was a big fat scapegoat for a the little bald man with a vendetta.

    I would really like to know how KDC pissed off John Key enough for him to get federal on his arse. Considering we have some of the best cyber-criminals on the planet in NZ and they barely get touched by NZ Cops.

    I would really like to know how a reporter in Afghanistan pissed of the Chief of NZDF. Enough to go black ops on his ass.

    There are probably countless other accounts of little people with vendettas whom use the American Machine to their advantage, or scapegoat.

    There is some string pulling happening with exports right now. If I recall the last 12 months - Zespri, Fonterra, Manuka Honey........que the failure of the lamb and beef market in 3, 2, 1......

    Young people 'should be told to cast vote or pay a fine'

    "With Labour committed to lowering the voting age from 18 to 16, the thinktank said compulsory first-time voting was necessary to ensure that the wide gap in turnout between young and old did not get worse. First-time voters would face a small fine if they refused to participate in an election. They would have the option of voting for "none of the above".

    Guy Lodge, one of the authors of the report, said: "Unequal turnout matters because it gives older and more affluent voters disproportionate influence at the ballot box. Turnout rates among the young have fallen significantly which means there is less incentive for politicians to pay attention to them."

    So not voting will be against the law? and all because some ignorant fuckwits are worried about how it reflects on their policy setting. Likely the same fuckers who believe that they only represent the people that voted for them. You are not paid to represent only those who have voted for you. The true colours of politicians starting to show through... blame and punish the people for making politicians look bad.

    Meh.

    If they need to be compelled to find out what it's about and then to do something about it what does that tell you about the likely quantity of research they'll do and the quality of their subsequent voting decision?

    Most of 'em seem to think complaining about it after the fact is more important.

    Yep, your right.....most of 'em'll be retards, children of lower socio economic parents who've been disenfranchised by successive Govts & failed by an under funded education system & raised on media drivel & an excess of drugs & bling driven culture surrounded by a society thats too worried about their own problems to give a fuck any more.
    Kind of like me.



    Its up to the individual init.

    I need to setup a political party called 'non filled out' ... but if it is on the ballot, I will cast my vote. I'd prefer 'No Confidence' though. Even at that, I still don't think that compulsory voting is the way to go.

    Me too - but you'll be lucky to get support from the Right to do that .. a high voter turnout has always favoured Labour and the left and a high voter turn out has usually led to a Labour Government

    Making voting compulsory wil gaurantee a high voter turnout and probably give us a Labour/left Government again.

    (it's the poor and disaffected who don't always vote - and vote Labour/left when they do)

    Didn't they re-name themselves and are currently lead by Peter Dunne?
