  • Island Life: Don't need no steenkin' lockup,

    I don't see why anyone is surprised that the government is paying such attention to S&P.

    What exactly did people think they were getting when they voted in a foreign exchange trader?

    Exactly.

  • Speaker: Grand Theft Auckland,

    But that's all supposition as it hasn't been mooted at all.

    But Gareth, we are already heading down that slippery slope. I recall recently "no thanks John Banks" saying public private partnership or a BOOT for the Art Gallery, parks, swimming pools. Was that subliminal?

  • Hard News: Stop the Enabling,

    If one then considered football. Say Man U plays Arsenal. Have you seen what is involved in first getting to the game, let alone watching it and then getting out alive? Police are handy in some situations.

  • Hard News: Stop the Enabling,

    Sports people - especially rugby players - get into fights all the time, often in front of large crowds and tv cameras.

    Now excuse my ignorance of the game with balls but as I understand it, if a fight is deemed against the rules, there is disciplinary action, which, is dealt with pretty quickly by the appropriate authority. If it is considered a scuffle of less significance do they not sit on the Bench or get to the showers sooner?Either way this is not considered acceptable behaviour.Also parents who partake in sideline brutish activity is not allowed, At the bigger games, Police are on patrol.

  • Hard News: Two very different topics,

    At present on the Parliament TV, a discussion is getting louder with regards to Mental Health because it just been declared no longer a priority by Minister for Health Ryall who isn't even at the Financial Review, Mental Health Commission.

  • Speaker: Grand Theft Auckland,

    Maybe I'm being naive but I really see the case for privatising water very very hard to make and given the natural public emotional reaction would be helllllll no I just can't see it happening.

    So maybe I was just ahead of the times accusing our newbie king council transition man of privatisation .:)
    Maybe I was thinking of Argentina's water supply.

  • Island Life: Credit where it's due,

    Why not throw the super city in too.

  • Island Life: Don't need no steenkin' lockup,

    From what I've heard on Good Morning this morning it seems like Standard and Poors have had played a large part in the make up of this weeks budget. They even get a look at the final draft before anyone else.

    Why am I not surprised? Actually wouldn't be surprised if they are behind other solutions for this government seeing as their credit rating must be excellent.

  • Speaker: Grand Theft Auckland,

    Why does Auckland City buy the water from Watercare at 'Wholesale' prices, and then mark it up to a 'retail' price before providing it to me?

    Plus put the price up if you don't use enough.That's just been announced. I guess timing is everything.

    And under the new Supercity structure will I be able to 'buy' it from Waitakere if their price is cheaper?

    I think Waitakere wont exist.
