Opening boarders, now that will get you in trouble. We paid for our own sewerage plant, collect our own water, pay for rubbish removal per bag, have no inorg collection, few footpaths, a 2 hour commute because there's no public transport, no broadband, cellphones only just started reaching us and so on. Quite frankly I think we should be upfront and tell whoever wants to take a look here what they're up for.

Infrastructure, we should let them in.

I'm not and I didn't (senior G person and more money).
Real question, what does it take to be considered Maori? Is it an electoral role thing? A census thing? And is there a percentage thing? A marriage thing? Is the maternal line considered stronger than the paternal? A rohi (area born) thing? -

You don't get the visions that way...

Excellent, if we crush the coal really really hard we can make diamonds like Superman!
How much coal do we send to China each year? -
I'm live blogging 10 Reasons on C4, Top Ten Love Power Ballads, November Rain playing right now, number 4, I'm scared that this means, outthere, there are 30, 40, 50, somethings loading up themselves and their iPods going into 2nd life porn tristes with cats, (the Slash lead break is cutting in now...), jaysus it cut out, too much, number 3, Aerosmith, we had Nazareth before, Love Hurts, oh God no.
Brazil (the movie) has become real, has anyone else noticed that the American Chopper family is call Tuttle?But interesting in a so-not-interested-in-playing-Second-Life way ...
Careful, that's how they get you, vulcan mind meld.

Precisely, and a great big melting pot. Actually The Thorium-Wotanium Casino Melting Pot will be the clarion call to all great exiles of the last great leap forward. I for one, will find my old red socks! We will need a ballad, Call Me Boiled Half Way Down Dominion Road. I'm phoning Kevin right now! I can see JK in the teeshirt now!
NB: always be wary of the exclamation mark factor, but don't be fooled!!! This is bigger than Telethon and could attract Holmes out of retirement. -

Not if the All Blacks built it mate. Seriously though, the taxpayer could fund it, then it could be sold to a couple of merchant bankers who invite competitor suppliers into the market, who then realize they must buy their wotanium from the bankers at wholesale first, who then charge the taxpayer huge sums in a monopolistic duopolistic kind of way and to keep everyone quiet we'll sponser a big boat race or something...
Then the bankers leave the country to avoid paying tax and we are left with a dangerously active pile of wotanium that needs billions to be upgraded to safe levels.
Trev Mallard says we can safely house it on the waterfront.
