You what? Every NZer is entitled to ACC. Both for part of medical costs and for lost salary/wages. However, you obviously have never been self-employed and tried to claim ACC...

If you all read the news paper you would realize that the labour goverment takes all the money from tax and put it back into the comunity where national is keeping it for themselves.


For example would national have bought back a asset like the rail system . NO

I aware of that i forgot to put the "?" after my sentence

Erm, one of the first things the Labour Government did in 1999 was to repeal the ECA and replace it with the Employment Relations Act.

Doh! I knew we still had some sort of legislation...


I'll go sit in the corner with the pointy hat on...

I doubt there's many here that will want some of what you're smoking.
Did you bring that belief with you from Safaland?

Yep, it's a no-brainer, isn't it? I'm also sick of social engineering, and the government's "when I want your opinion, I'll give it to you" attitude

I thought it was "we are happy to hear your opinion and want to give you the opportunity to let us know. But really we don't give a toss and are going to dowhateverthefuckwewant"!!!

If anyone thinks that having one Govt over the other is likely to help the country, then your delusional. Same with with them all, make lots of noise about what they are going to do and what they are going to give. But at the end of the day they are more likely to take and screw things up. The whole time Ive been watching politics its the same. One govt is elected and its just a matter of time until the public has had a gutsfull of their incompitence and farck ups, then just elect the opposition to repeat the whole process again. I cannot be bothered voting again and see it just as a failed social experiment.

If you've been paying attention you'd have seen me say many times that i don't vote Labour.

And you've consistently failed to say which party you do support, or even come up with a list of policies that you'd like to see enacted. As usual, you just dance around that question.

However, under Labour the economy has grown and the dole queue has shrunk. Could do better for sure but I've lived under antionals lies before. I know they're even worse.

Mainly thanks to a global economic boom, none of which had anything to do with Labour.

you don't seem to even understand what a fascist is. even franco, hitler and mussolini helped some people

the label 'fascist' is assigned based on the supported policies and government actions advocated. You fit the bill particularly with your recent call for totalitarianism; that most fascist of all policies

Well, looky here. III changes his tune. Not so long ago, you claimed that my understanding of the word 'fascist' was incorrect, despite the fact thatevery dictionary agreed with me. That, according to you, was a conspiracy by te right-wing coorporations who owned the publishing houses who wrote the dictionaries. Now, your tune has changed a bit.

But totaliarianism historically has been practiced by extreme policitcal movements on both sides of the spectrum. It's not a policy favoured only by fascists. Or wasn't Russia under Stalin a totalitarian state, and aren't China, Burma and Cuba still totalitarian? Fascist does not equal totalitarianism. Just the same as right-wing doesn't equal christian. Or left-wing doesn't necessarily equal complete fucking idiot.

The 4th Labour govt is a big reason I don't vote for Labour. We need something more socialist than the 'middle wing' labour just in case it decides to go fascist again as with Douglas.

We need something more socialist than Labour like we need a hole in the head. Or you need encouragement to come out and put forth your modest liberal views...

Nope there we just shoot the dumb fuckers and put the others in chains

Any one see the news last night about j'burg fucking mint!

Only for accidents, if your disability is a result of a medical issue(s) then you will be getting nothing at all. I talked to a few in burwood spinal unit in the same boat up shit creek, with no paddle and a bad leak in the hull. ACC is an interesting organisation if you take the time to try to understand it. Ive studied the legislation they work on and its both confusing and makes the organisation work in some really unusual way. They are independant from the govt Ive been lead to believe and the preformers bitching about ACC are usually the ones who are not entitled. Its not ideally set up for some but excellent for many like me or the individuals who are far worse. Before my accident I had never been given anything for free and worked hard for what I had. The thing I appreciate about ACC is they clearly explain who and why the entitlements work for and exactly where "the line in the sand" is when entitlement stops. I know my situation is different than others, but even when I had a month and a half on ACC because a twat smashed me off my bike, ACC still looked after me extremely well and payed for all of my bills related to the accident. ACC is much like the govt really, working for some, but an utter frustration for many. If anyone wants full entitlement from ACC I'm happy to swap bodies, the true problem in there are many out there that want to live off ACC handouts. Its ruined it for the ones who honestly need the help. I was told that I'm the first client to decline a new cellphone and laptop from ACC. I did that because I allready had both. I also saw a few others get them then hock them off, then wonder/complain when ACC was not so forth coming the next time they needed something. If it was not for ACC I would be dead, its something that I will allways appreciate and never abuse.

Dead right dude...

Are you defining rich like Cullen does? Anyone earning over $60k?

The average wage in Aus is now $58,250! Rich is now, defacto,a family income of over $150K or individual over $100K - but pensioners still get $238/week!!

Trainset for $600M?

I'm just pissed off they had to buy back, something that should never have been hocked off, to start with!
Never mind though, National will find some mates to flog it off to at mates rates!

[Robert Taylor]

Yet the Looney Labourite Sect has had how many years to repeal or modify that ECA legislation, yet has done NOTHING?

I guess their backhanders from business, has guaranteed their complicity.

And they have done precious little to sort out our capacity to generate electricity so that we dont suffer shortages.

But now that they have Kevin Ruddiculous aka ''The Milky Bar Kid'' running the show over there they will stuff it up over time, mark my words.Hes got the same basic mentality as the Labour people here.

By the way, if all the posts today have not been in agreeance with a prolific contributor to these political threads expect a lecture akin to a teacher telling off some naughty children. Shame on anyone who doesnt agree!
