Did we really vote 80:20 to remove MMP?

That's the only bit of your post I understood.

So the good guys voted to remove MMP did they? Good. Those pesty MMP things. Nothing but trouble. So I heard.

Am I warm?


What's an MMP?

Good ole NZ ,,, Still mustn't grumble , mustn't grumble ,.... i dont like it when they grumble

The last good Idea the bench sitters has was ,,,hey , lets make education accessable to all ...I know they can borrow the money , and when they get a Job pay it back ,,,

and we have a skill shortage , so everyone will be winners ......


What Frosty maybe saying is , I am working my arse off just to stay afloat. and there seems to be a few on the gravy train paid for by my taxes and I dont like it.

I cannot see why it takes so many chief for so few Indians ... simplifications here but lets use Fulton Hogan

Do you know how local council officials get a promotion/better pay-By proving themselves INCOMPETENT. That way they have staff allocated to them -More staff means more pay

Three-zip. Not a bad strike rate for an essentially bogus piece of legislation that deludes voters into thinking they can actually do something too change their nation, other than through the ballot box. It should repealed immediately.

How does it work again? We have to have at least 200,000 signatures on a petition before parliament will consider it important, but they don't actually have to do anything about it?
But that's in line with other things. You can make submissions to any bill put before the Gubmint, but they don't have to do anything about it if they don't feel like it.

How does it work again?

Electors can force a non-binding referendum be held on a particular question if they collect signatures of at least 10% of all enrolled electors on a petition. Citizens' Initiated Referendum questions may only have two possible answers, such as "yes" and "no". The promoters of the CIR must first get their proposed referendum question and petition form approved, and then collect the required signatures within 12 months. There is a $50,000 spending limit on promoting a petition, as well as a $50,000 spending limit on campaigning for any particular result if a referendum is called. A new electoral roll will be produced prior to the referendum and voting will be either in person as for a parliamentary election, or by postal ballot.

How does it work again?

The statisticians are concerned that once the boomers start to drop off, that considered with our migration and birth rates, and we'll actually have a lack of population problem. If we can support those that stay home and breed so that they produce decent stock, then that's money well spent. Big if though.

what in fucks name have you been smoking mate!

the oens that are paid to stay at home and bread create the south auckland gang problem.

I asked my 9 year old daughter what she was most afraid of the other day, her reply was not expected. Teenagers she said. She sees them doing stupid things, driving too fast, smoking around schools, and hassling younger kids, and even taunting adults, with language normally reserved for brothels and army training camps.

My daughter is afraid of your kids NZ, not dragons, or werewolves, or monsters hiding in the closet, or under her bed, but of the fruits of your over permissive soft cock, undisciplined parenting.

Now that makes me sad

And I'm old enough (36) to remember that before the various changes to laws which stripped police powers to prosecute minors, it wasn't as bad.

Must be turning into an old curmudgeon.

It's not as bad here in Aus, it is quite noticeable. (Yes, they do have similar problems, just not such a high proportion). I think it's because most kids, especially young males, are in an apprenticeship or some other work . . .
