First thing on the list is get some dough together and hire a decent speech writer.

Hard News: News media meets new media:…, in reply to nzlemming,
What I find personally insulting is that I'm sure everyone concerned is reading every word, including dot points.
Classic lines,But Joyce will not be able to create a new New Zealand Story on his own. It is important that Key lends his political leadership to the drive to enhance domestic and international business growth, increase the capabilities of New Zealanders and inspire more Kiwis to build careers from here.
Joyce's own billing is as a "fix-it man" and politician that likes to quickly cut through the bureaucratic undergrowth so that business and deals get done. By injecting him into the economic space Key has signalled he is determined to "move at pace" in his second term as Prime Minister.
Even before the election Joyce was mustering information from the private sector so he could hit the ground running in his new portfolios. He is not a novice to the innovation space having led successful ICT missions offshore where he was a ready hit with the accompanying business people.
Getting a stronger focus on what makes the boat go faster is hugely important.
The signals from Government and business are encouraging.
Like a Stalin era powerpoint presentation, every dot point must be included and read aloud! -
Poverty, no problem, sell assets, http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/6137368/PMs-house-for-sale-in-bogus-ad
Climate change, no problem, change RMA
What Labour might want to focus on is how our rights get trampled on every 3 years. Or, if this is what NZ wants then I better just STFU I guess. -
New media accountabilities,

And so it begins again, subtle as a Woman's Day expose. -

Now VW wipers were simply irrelevant, I had a '63, then a '66 beetle, I just hardened up and realised things like wipers and lights for were for the unadventurous, 6 volt system and all, I only drove off the road once in a torrential downpour on the Coro road, into a field, 100 yards further along and I would have cliffed it. Lights and wipers pah.
Mind you my current VW turns the lights and wipers on automagically, D chose this car for me. -
Man you’re harsh Joe. This was good in the day. Ute based on thread, just.

That's choice. I deviated from the family when I bought a Holden, so did my bro, see back then you were either a Falcon or a Holden family, could depend on what type of farmer you were or townie. I worked on the Ford account for a bit both cars had their merits but they were made for us, that's pretty special I reckon. As for utes, XA Falcon was the best (another bro's), mind my mates 5.0 litre V8 kept going for 3 engines and crikey it was great to drive.
Love utes and we had the best of them. My bro also had a Sundowner (bronze)...Dad had a Falcon XB, it was red, nickname, The Red Baron, learned to drive in that thing.
They don't make ads like this anymore. -
