    Give me 1 change that happened in NZ due to the Government.
    I will give you 100,000 things that changed in spite of them.

    If the NZ Government directly dictated NZ's future - NZ would resemble a concentration camp

    Shhhhhh - they don't count in a democracy apparently.

    Ok im being silly, but seriously tho I think a dictatorship would work well in New Zealand, especially with me at the helm, imagine life with me as the dictator
    Bike only roads, no speeding fines for bikers, only one brand of leathers

    Ok Im still being silly.
    I hope you can duck fast .. I am violently opposed to dictators and would welcome the opportunity to prove just how violently opposed ...

    Gee my bad, I was under the assumption they were in control of things like national spending, law and order, education, health policy etc.

    So what violence did you partake in when Dictator Clark ran NZ with an iron man-bag?

    No, I'm sorry. Much as I may have disliked the woman, she was never a dictator .. Now Jozef Stalin, Muammar Gaddafi, Ferdinand Marcos, Adolf Hitler, Mobuto Sese Seko ... these are all dictators ...

    We didn't shoot Clarke - we voted her out - not a dictatorship ..

    No, it's quite simply really - just the dickhead professional politicians serve their own interests by makign it sound complicated - if we understood what they were doing we would vote them out - ALL of them ...

    And does he really think private enterprise can run things better than Government ???

    Air New ZEaland
    The Railways
    BNZ
    Telecoms
    The power system

    All sold by the Government - and most had to be bailed out or bought back because Private Enterprise stuffed them up ... The rest are still screwing us over and stuffing us up ...

    As I understand it, the BMWs were actually a good, no GREAT deal. Bought cheap, maintained free, and will (probably) be sold for more than they cost. Of course they want to repeat the process, who wouldn't?
    The only thing that our National-biased media can't stomach is that it was a Labour deal.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
