  • Hard News: Congratulations, Mr Key,

    AND I also heard Nikki Kaye say something like "I know in my heart I can do this"....

    Wasn't it that she had a good heart, and that's what swung the seat to her? Or something?

    Either way, I agree on the barf.

    National introduced the student loan scheme in 1992.

    Coincidentally, the year I started university. I particularly enjoyed the four hour wait I had in the loan queue. Efficiency in government!

    given the current exchange rate it's almost comparable

    And we don't have to pay out of pocket for our health care, either.

    I'm not so keen on ensuing everyone can live the life of Riley

    Oh yes. Poor people in NZ are just *raking* it in.

    One could be somewhat bitchy and point out that a good chunk of Labour's base couldn't afford a garden shed on the same street as Helen's "little driveway", but so what?

    That's totally true - I couldn't service a Mt Albert mortgage. But at least she isn't electric-gated off from the plebs.

    But I'm really startled by Act's behaviour in the last 36 hours. It reveals quite a lot about the personalities involved, and none of it good.

    Horror-movie chills. I really would have preferred Winston. I do not say this lightly.

    The hooting Parnell types outside Key's gate as he left for Sky City briefly made me think of a zombie flick.

    I loved the comparison of the two leaders heading off to their respective headquarters: Clark driving out of her little Mount Albert driveway past the hedges, while Key's peeps had to open his giant, sterile electric gates in Parnell.

    Actually, it wasn't me, and I'm too lazy to go back through the thread now and find out who did ask.

    You'll take the credit and like it, young lady! :)

    'Twas me, she cried. Same initial, anyway.

    So Craig, basically you want them to break all the financial promises they made? Are you *trying* to sabotage them in 2011? :)

    Douglas says review the promises

    Oh, of *course* he does. <hurl>

  • Southerly: Sir Roger Tipped As New…,

    It's funny because it's true. Sigh.

    Yeah, the US is just back from the brink of totally stupid and dangerous wingnuttery, rather than creating cooperative farms and doling out billionaires' bank accounts to the homeless. I mean, that health care system? And their employment laws? Yeesh. I'll stay here, ta.

    I still have no idea what Craig wants National to do, though...
