I read that as Corprolitic converter, National, shifting wealth since ages ago.

Well at least now we know what was on the table at the tea party,
JB; the Don has called in his favour.
JK; ffs does he ever sleep?
JB; You know what you gotta do JK...
JK; /whines/ but, but...
JB; JK, don't ever show your emotions in front of the Family. -
Asset testing? I just wish they tested out what has gone on before so we can stop pretending that everything is new.

Seems to be a whole pile of relevant u-turns and lessons here regarding Govt. vs private spending. -
Hard News: The Next Labour Leader, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Perhaps the Herald Style Book could become equally mindful that being an obnoxious twatcock and on the autistic spectrum are not synonyms.
Damn right.

Hard News: The Next Labour Leader, in reply to Euan Mason,
I agree that our western malaise is to crave government services but be unwilling to front up with taxes to pay for them, but this isn't what neoliberals are about.
I think we will be best served by those who make clear their intentions. I am all for any party in NZ that tries to alleviate the major swings we have had to suffer from successive Govts.
Labour never signaled their asset sale agenda pre-election, National have and they got the vote. Let's see what they do now because there's not much else we voters can do other than that.
My 2 cents for Labour, keep it simple, keep it honest, and if they were really smart they will try be seen as constructive, not wreckers and haters. -
For me it's just too much of a leap to forget that Labour started the selling to fund welfare, National is just going to finish it.
-
If he says he will buy back the assets wouldn't that totally queer the deal?
-
Just who does ECan really serve?
-
Finally the bare truth of it,
ECan said identifying land as liquefaction-prone "only serves to add potential for angst and cost in ... development". The report characterised this as a "dubious approach".
Auckland Council denote your at risk buildings now. -
Hard News: How long the leash on the…, in reply to Sacha,
My recall was that he, Key, was too untested for being leader, the same thing the Herald Farrar accuse Shearer of,
"I do think David Shearer would be a better choice for Labour Leader, albeit a more risky choice as Shearer has not proven himself in Parliament."
I'm getting too freaked out now about how tight the media and the Govt. are today in framing their P.O.V.
I need a rest. It was my intention to try to discover a few things this election, having teens at or near voting age.
But the abyss is staring back.
