Politicians with integrity & moral fortitude...

[Oscar]

Wasn't Kiwibank his baby?

Yes it was.

But I'm not sure it's a notable achievement for all those years on the public teat.
Kiwibank was/is more a political statement about sovereignty (or xenophobia depending on your side of the argument) than it was a necessity in banking terms.

The irony was that it is the Aussie Banks we have to thank for our relatively stable banking sector through this recession...

So no, I don't think Kiwibank qualifies Jim as a Politician with integrity and moral fortitude.

Yep

Shouldn't this be in jokes and humour?

Exactly what I thought. I thought it was going to be a joke so came on in for a look. What a disappointment. The whole lot of them are a pack of lying, self serving, cunts.

Do you vote?

Yes, I do. I believe you don't have the right to complain about their actions if you don't participate in the process. I assume this is what you were getting at? It's a matter of picking the ones I think are lying less than the others.

Who's "us"?

What a fuggin' achievement

What about the other end of the scale, MP's like Chris Carter. He is a westie I suppose, should write him in to Outrages Fortune.

He could play someone's prison "girlfriend"

Must be a reflection on society I reckon, maybe its because the voters often lack in integrity & moral fortitude which requires strength of character & a willingnes to look into oneself.....much easir to remain indifferent & ignorant & get all wound up & whinge about some minor topic that the medias wound up all out of proportion.


FQ...the "us "comment was a tongue in cheek thing,a little like "he who has not sinned, cast the first stone"
I must thank the Rev. Storkey for the seeming impact he made to my tender adolescent ....MIND lol
He got across the Morals of religion, minus the dogma & schism.
I'll Never forget morning prayers, he leading us in a spray of spittle.....

ahhh, that'll be my problem then ... I got sent to Sunday School with money for the donation plate but went to the dairy instead and spent the money on a 50c mixture and then went home at the appropriate time. It was a good scheme until I got found out and then never got sent to Sunday School again. Bugger, I used to look forward to it!

Ah yes, the 'Brian Tamaki' model.
