Do you trust the Govt. to do you right?

I was watching the news last night, and they had a story on oil/petrol being found in the South Island somewhere... And right now on the Radio news they said if all goes well that oil/petrol can supply up to 15%+ of NZ petrol/oil demands by 2009.

Do you think they'll really lower the prices or go...

well it costs us (I dunno) 20c per leter (sp). The current price (in 2009) is say $2 a leter. So we'll charge $2 instead of 20c because thats what the public are paying anyway...

I don't trust them to do us right

No.

They get too much tax off it and while the punters (you and I) are used to paying too much tax,they'll shut and and keep taking it.

Opposition parties are supposed to keep ther govt honest but our opposition is currently pathetic... so... no

No, you cannot trust the govt as far as you can throw them

Nah they will definitely keep putting the price up, they will have to pay for the $10m they just spent on the indoor heated pool and gym complex in the beehive somehow.

The current government are lying thieving scumbags with their own private agendas and I trust them not at all.

I think any wish to become a politician should automatically bar you from being one. Some may go into politics with good intentions but it does'nt seem to last

And by 2009, jails will have to have a jacuzzi in every cell cos prisoners' rights must be respected eh!!
No trust here...

**frogfeaturesFZR** · 29th June 2006, 11:19

Mate there must still be some people around with an ounce of common sense and the guts to take responsibility for their own actions. Reasure me please !

Yeah, maybe you should have posted this one in jokes and humour.

They found petrol in the south island? Did BP build a service station down there?

PF, I have decided that you need to get a roadworthy bike ASAP, it is evident that you have had waaay to much time to think lately!

And NO you cant trust them. At all.

lol

Now if the NZ govt. was smart at all (which we all know they are most certainly not). They would tell the overseas oil/petrol companys to fuck off... and leave the petrol/oil underground (or where ever) and wait until the middle east runs out... then they will be creaming in the money...

But then again the US might come over to help "liberate" the maoris and "secure" the oil...

Can't really win can you
