Blue is a note ;-)

Hard News: The Public Address Word of…, in reply to Glen Wright,
As in the Two-Johnnies (see what I did there ;-) had a man date?

Sadly, not how our Govt.(tm) now works.

Hard News: The Next Labour Leader, in reply to Sacha,
But but their leader says they have a clear mandate...personal responsibility, Gerry? I'll believe that when I see all those politicians give up their pay-rise for the common good this Christmas.
Dynamic! (plugging my Word Of The Year ;-) -
"Twentyeleven", because it's used as one word (the rules!) and the start of using "twenty" to describe the millenium instead of twothousand.

OnPoint: Spending "Cap" is Fiscal Anorexia, in reply to Sacha,
I see the two issues as linked, I am like that. We could call it Govt. cherrypicker funding.
1. insurance, ACC, sell the profitable stuff, taxpayer funds the rest
2. health, as above
3. public transport, as above
4. roading, as above
5. education, as above
6. cargo, as above
7. energy...
8. telecoms...
9. mining...
Labour were the same. There's no business like Govt. business.
