The fascist regime that made you a moron: Thanks dJonkey

[mashman]

Having re-read your original post, which seemed to infer that Treasury was writing the policy of the major parties, I see that it is so badly written that it could mean anything. I guess deniability one of the benefits of posting borderline gibberish.

I understood it. Seems like you're too dumb to be able to reason outwith your own terms of reference.

[Brian d marge]

Nah.
Why don't you read the new Labour/Green Electricity policy and tell me how that fits in the centre.
http://www.labour.org.nz/nzpower

• A new agency called NZ Power will act as a single buyer of wholesale electricity. It will also have the power to set prices.
• NZ Power will introduce a fairer pricing system where electricity companies get a fair return and consumers finally get a fair go.
• These measures will also encourage more competition among retailers.

so there will be more than one then ,,, hmm that sounds just like the old electricity board ... oh yes i can see how I missed that

Also while you’re being so helpful , the NZ treasury statement of intent , was for 2014 to 2017 ,

couple of questions , IF a labour/ green win the next election will they re-write the statement of intent , ? and IF its is for 2014 , i,e the NEXT government , who is calling the shots here? treasury of the government

Just some small minor point s that’s all

Why are you all arguing about the "centre" ... nothing ever changes from the centre ... and bugger all gets done there either ... change and action comes from the margins ...

[HenryDorsetCase]

No it wasn't and your not funny.

How do you get "wasn't" correct and "your" wrong in a seven word sentence? Wake up, son.

Maybe you wear the same brand of tinfoil cap that he does.
I'm not dumb enough to use a word like "outwith", though.

You're not wrong - you do make small points.
And if you're suggesting that the Treasury makes Govt. policy, do you have any proof of this insult to democracy outside a statement of intent?

My point exactly.
Whilst these conspiracy wonks are raving about the treasury controlling the Govt., they missed the biggest sea-change in NZ politics for two decades.

No, I prefer my explanation.
But you are dumb enough to refer to a tinfoil (2 words) cap (usually hat, but I'll let that slide).

[Zedder]

No it wasn't and your not funny.

I dunno BtB, the fact that his user name (and hero apparently) is a character from a book who's a druggie computer hacker is funny.

Tinfoil hat:

And if you were paying attention, you'll see I've previously substituted chapeau and bonnet as well as cap for hat.

Never seen you use any of them there foreign versions... irrespective, you should know better.

The fkin thing is called statement of intent 2012 to 2017, ie what they are going to do
The election is next year ...so
They are; A going to do what they say they will
Or B completely rewrite their statement of intent
This of course is independent of whoever wins the next election because it has already been written;
snip ( page22)

The immediate priority is the proposed Initial Public Offering (IPO) of up to 49% of Mighty River Power in
2012/13. Thereafter, our main priority is to apply the mixed ownership model to Genesis Power Ltd,
Meridian Energy Ltd and Solid Energy NZ Ltd.

now this is from the treasury NOT national or labour .............( so I say again WHO is calling the shots here?)


If these are "small points" I would hate to see your major areas of concern

Er, why is that funny?

My hero is more William Gibson than Henry Dorsett Case though

Years of practice.
I just wanted Hitcher to join the thread.
