Go Labour!!!

And the mistaken (although he's certainly not alone in that) belief that KB is a democracy.

And the irony that the only person on the site who uses the term ad hominem (abuse) and who allegedly abhors its practice is its greatest practitioner.

More details of the rip-off to the taxpayer. Cullen, you need to go.

What gets me is the smarmy git's responses when he's questioned about these monumental cock-ups that he presided over.

one solution to the problem....although I myself would not condone the action....

It is very nice to see the continuing ignorance of public opinion. The gubbinment is there to serve the people, not ignore any suggestion made.
The emissions trading scheme will be forced ahead despite public opinion.


I thought liebour was "there for the people"?

I just finished reading Ian Wisharts latest book, Absolute Power and am seriously pissed off about this "Gubmint" now.

Before the "usual suspects" start in on me, I did approach this book with a little trepidation, given Mr Wisharts track record, but hell if he's only half right on the events in the book, Helen and co should still be put up against the wall with blindfolds.

I for one did not agree for NZ to become a Socialist Republic with a strong feminist/lesbian agenda that has publicly denounced the concept of the traditional family unit in favour of State based child rearing. Also, a government that states "we will not recognise public referendums as we are always right" cannot represent the will or best interests of the people.

EFA be damned, I'll shout it from the rooftops if it would do any good, but as the majority of NZers are "sheeple" and will "vote for Labour 'cos my dad did", I still reckon we're f**ked.

Mr Key has promised to allow the referendum on MMP that this government denied us in 2002. On the basis, of course, that his party occupies the treasury benches at the end of this year.

Yup :(

No matter which flavour of politiscum wins

...me neither...on the basis that it would be a waste of a perfectly good bullet

Good. They are already talking of rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
Goff admits prospect of Labour defeat - report

There was 'never' any agreement for a follow up referendum. That is a myth that the anti MMP lobby has perpetrated ever since they lost the FPP. All that was 'promised' was a review by a Parlimentry select committee. This was carried out.

The review was flawed as some of those that sat on the committee owed their places to the MMP system and as such could not be impartial.

The simple fact that a second referendum 'was never denied,' as one was not promised in the first place.

Fuck Helen Clark and her 'working for families' scheme - I'm self-employed, my husband works fulltime and we have no kids, so we get absolutely no fucking help at all. No community services card, no cheap anything.

If they halved the tax on bloody petrol it would be a big help for all of us - transport costs are probably one of the highest components in anything we buy now. And gst should be removed on all unprocessed foods - and alcohol!

[jim.cox]

- and alcohol!

There's no GST on home brew

And its better than half the crap pushed by the big business breweries

[Timber020]

At least Clark has a pair of balls, Key has yet to put his own line in the sand, hes just been reactive to whatever labour does. to me he seems weak.

I think its a case of to many terms in office, we want labour out, but I wonder do we really want national in? Im not happy with labour, but I dont think national has what it takes, I own a business and although they tend to be more business friendly, its normally at the cost of everyone else.

Might start my own party, but first I need to set up my own secret police and make a few lists.........you'll all be against the wall when the revolution comes, but do vote for me.....or else

[brendonjw]

I dont know how anyone can stand up for a party whose
Leader knowing and actively committed Fraud - Paintergate
Ministers - Physically assault people (Mallard)
Instigate illegal imgration (ok granted its still going through the courts but its not looking the best)
What was bensin pope accused of again??

Oh well, no wonder crimes are going up, our govt is encouraging and setting a great example......
