The Kiwibank ads have style. The money is also staying here.
I suggest Craig Ranapia hates the ads because Jim Anderton pushed to start up Kiwibank with Labour's support. It has proved to be a winner with ENZeds.
ENZeds need to be able to reach out to something and say "I own that". Surely if money stays in New Zealand it is not adding to our balance of payments deficit. I doubt that National will be able to keep their paws off selling it, given the chance, though.
It is bad enough already with no accountability from firms with call centres overseas so that you can't complain in person, and then all the profits sent overseas, instead of being ploughed back into infrastructure.

I thought we had to use our real names to post on your blog. Would International Observer have sent this drivel if his/her real name was printed?
My thinking Christian friends are embarrassed by the 'International Obervers' of this world and I'd sooner stay with this Government than be subjected to a government comprising the likes of Family First, Destiny/Family church/party who are too scared to look at themselves and their need for power over children.
The hissing behaviour towards Tom Semmens makes me ashamed. So much for the conservative elements extending freedom of speech to people who disagree with them. (Makes a mockery of their support for National's screaming about loss of freedom of speech.) They want to get back behind closed doors, where might equals right. I say shine the light on our dark side and there is no doubt that we have one. It's the only way we will progress.
It seems too many New Zealanders are afraid to even consider that some physical actions they take in their family environments can actually harm their children rather than enhance their children's futures. No parent, wanting to be the best parent they can be, should ever ignore alternative methods of raising children.
