Oh good one Key: saving jobs - Bullshit

[firefighter]

Yep if his financial managment of his NZ rail shares are an example.

Is Mr Key not one of the richest men in N.Z? Just thought i'd point that out. I wonder how that is, he must be a bad businessman.

Personally due to this on it's own, I think he's certainly fit to lead this country with the current economic crisis going on.......

[MisterD]

As for comparing himself to Obama - okay... what'd he say? And why is that a bad thing?

Here you go:

"I'm a bit like (Barack) Obama," Mr Key, 47, told the Financial Times in an interview published today. "I am not institutionalised in Wellington".

"I had 18 years in the commercial world and I will be quite pragmatic," the old former Merrill Lynch investment banker said.

He obviously wasn't meaning that he was a corrupt lightweight that could only speak with an autocue.

And he made his money how... oh that's right... managing foreign exchange!

What would he know about international business?

with me or against - just to be clear?

i dunno but after 3 beers i wont care anymore

I think the issue with N.Z suppliers, is that they rip off the NZDF ten-fold.

A funny little oganisation who they buy just about everything through,(from pens through to standpipes/chairs/whathaveyou) whom you must order everything through (I didn't leave too long ago and it's till the same, I think it's a contractual thing)
They charge, up to......ready for it? Five times and in some cases more, than you can pay for things retail, for EVERYTHING you order, I mean fucken everything.......I won't get into specifics, but it's absurd.....
This on top of my previous post (which does come with insider knowledge BTW) may just be another of contributing factors towards their seeking business from China.....
Ask anyone in the defence force whos ever had to order anything from the company starting with the word "Black" and they will tell you how disgustingly obtuse their pricing is......it's absolutely fucked. In fact I struggle to know how it's even legal.

cough*blackwoodspaykle*cough, and they are often late or out of stock a=or send the wrong item. they are absolute arse!

Anyone would think you've dealt with them before?

It's beyond me how they get away with it....imagine the savings if they dealt with an "honest" company? (seriously)

Oh Sweet Jesus - he's bringing real world experience into parliament???

Correct. Having a person in charge of the country who is financially capable, is a fabulous change.

The retarded monkey-brained incompetents that we have had to endure for the last nine years, have happily emptied the bank accounts with their money-for-votes attempt. mr cullen (note deliberate non capitalisation) has provided the incoming government with a real problem to deal with.

i'll make it two beers.

Make it a dozen

As for the initial post that started this thread I won't waste my breath

[oldrider]

Red Labour Government, Blue Labour Government, what's the difference?

Blue Labour (aka National) seem like nicer people so far!

I certainly don't want the red ones back. (Helen and Michael)

So I will stick with blue Labour (Key) in the mean time.

Hobson's Choice realy! John.

Exactly. If we were still under the jackboot of the inept, lying, arrogant social engineers, the first post would read something like "Isn't it wonderful how our beloved government are saving the country all that money".
Instead, we are treated to a pathetic dig at a capable man.

9 years? More like 34 with a brief interregnum of 3 years while we figured out how fix Muldoon's wild borrowing prior to launching into 20 years of rabid speculation and borrowing.

The chickens, people. They want their roost back.

The Chinese made wet weather gear is heaps better than the Swazi/Yakka ones we've had for the last 10 years.
Not only does the DPM pattern match the rest of our uniform now, the chinese gear is lighter, less bulkier and makes less noise as well.
It would've been nice to keep the contract in NZ but the Swazi gear is just plain inferior. If they could've come up with a comparable product then that's all good but I guess they couldn't.

yeah but unfortunately Key is one of (many) "financial wizards" that helped drop the world into its current shithole.

Key, like almost every political figure other than Ghandi, looks out for himself first.
