    Meanwhile...

    It hardly boded well for the Commonwealth's future when the New Zealand Prime Minister decided it was unnecessary for him to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth.

    So what is he actually doing?.
    Oh that's right, he's playing Hobitses and Town Halls 'n' stuff.

  • Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Islander,

    O squee! He has a wee RWCup on his lapel!Isnt that adorable? Eh?

    Reminds me of George Bush with his little American flag. Next we will be hearing that Goff doesn't have a lapel badge because he hates the All Blacks.
    I noticed that no ties were worn by the entourage of the beloved one, are they all Brethren now?

    Prime Minister John Key's opening address of the National Party election campaign was disrupted by chanting protesters shouting "stop the war on the poor."

    About four protesters chanted as they were escorted out of Auckland's Sky City Convention Centre by police.

    Grrrrrr

  • OnPoint: If Wishes Were Horses..., in reply to Sacha,

    Worse, they’re overwhelmingly prioritisng last century’s assets – roads.

    I don’t see them actively selling roads to foreign owners, not that we need many more roads let alone vast stretches of eight lane tarmac through our, some would say greatest asset, our “pristine” countryside. The problem I see is National wanting to sell the means of production. Maybe the workers should seize them, eh?.

  • OnPoint: If Wishes Were Horses..., in reply to BenWilson,

    I thought Key made the point clearly enough, that the sales would be to fund purchases of new assets.

    And some may see that as a good business decision, however. We are talking infrastructure assets here, power and water, transport and, god help us, our national asset that is the envy of the rest of the world ACC.
    Key's assumption that all assets are equal is a crock of shit, we need those infrastructural assets to be owned and controlled for the county by the country otherwise we allow ourselves to be put over a barrel and you know what happens next in that scenario.

    And another thing...
    The Herald Votey thing:

    Which political party had the best TV opening election broadcast?
    National (34%)
    Labour (23%)
    Greens (6%)
    Don't know, don't care (37%)

    So, does that mean that National voters have not seen the Labour offering or that National voters are blind, or what?.
