I know a guy who knew Muldoon very well and said he could never quite reconcile the pugnacious politician and the rather sweet man who was his friend.
My Irish nana loved Muldoon. She lived in G.I which was part of his electorate and he was very helpful to her in dealing with her IHC son.Muldoon was very popular for a while when I was a kid but of course now he has been written out of National Party history that's something we don't talk about.

even if Leighton Smith made his preference clear yesterday morning (I'll let you guess) -- right after he compared Parker to Churchill and John F. Kennedy.
Newstalk ZB = Fox News Wannabees. Leighton is such a simple man

So I guess the new question for the new economic dawn is how to get investment productive.How do we get investment in to the kind of national expansion that the next generation can enjoy also.
Because this investment system is a donkey. If its attributes were crossed over to the public service it would be called a disgrace.

Hence my asking about the average
All I know is the air stinks in the city. I worked for 3 years in Penrose. A 8.00 a.m meeting would involve getting out of your driveway by 7.00 a.m out East, 6.45 a.m out West and I have heard insane stories from across the bridge if you hit peak traffic. Of course Peak Traffic is just everyone going to work late.

South Canterbury Finance (SCF) ramped up its risky real estate loans after it signed up to the Government's scheme that protected its investors' money, the company's chief executive Sandy Maier said tonight.
"Ramped up" , I mean where's the logic to abuse a scheme that was built to keep you afloat. Going for the gold, the only reason?

I'm sick of going into Auckland offices we're everyone gets to work and has breakfast. Some of them might as well still be in their pyjamas given the trancelike way the first hour of business seems to flow.

What's the average commute for a car driver? Half an hour? Less
Only if you live in a suburb that has quick access to another one, plenty of people cross all over town for work and then during the day a bunch of them drive all over town in search of the elusive dollar.
Earlybirders do well but they have to go to bed real early.

Look fuck it we're New Zealanders , let's just tell the Aussie banks to fuck off, we're scrubbing debt because of historical injustices , they'll love it, Aussies just love that kind of stuff from us.

It's got a bloody motorway right through the middle of it.
Which gets locked up twice a day , 5 times a week and then some. One of my jobs was driving around Auckland roads.They just stop all the time, sometimes almost illogically and one accident can stop the southern motorway for an hour.On Fridays everyone starts driving around frantically about 1.00 in the afternoon till about 7.00.
And if you don't hit the motorways early enough the traffic lights lock you in your suburb for a while.

The mind boogles the morning the independent auditor or whatever finds the amount of debt at these places.
" Ah, Alan can I have a word to you after morning tea."
