    Nope. Labour are much worse than National when it comes to this kind of crap.


    Natoinal are not really serious about governing New Zealand for New Zealanders - its all a game to them - onour money!

    Who's money? As you well know, the money is mostly taxed from National voters.


    Time for a change.

    A nice change would be for you to stop lying.

    Yeah right!

    Look the House of Representives has for decades has its members playing
    silly buggers from time to time, and yet they are allowed to do so.

    Strange how the ballot seems unable to correct this. Still the MPs do
    represent the people.

    Richee you must be at the bottom of the barrel.

    The real problem is that only those people who want to be polticians stand
    for Parliament. So how does this represent the people, which is the corner stone of democracy?

    I have often thought, a ballot would be better. We seem to agree as as
    society that this works for a jury.

    Denmark is a country with one of the higest tax rates in the world.
    The Danes have no problem with this for they believe that those

    Money is only a resource. It enables society to function and for the

    It is called democracy ? A concept that you might not

    Now go look at the long list of proposed bills
    labour submitted.
    All a load of socialistic crap.
    If pulled from the biscuit tin.

    Which makes you a hypocritical moron.

    Rubbish - can you provide any references supporting this bizarre

    You may want to look here: http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2015/09/members_bills_ballot_17_september_2015.html

    After a list of members Bills, Farrar gives stistics by political
    party and then says:
    "If the other 20 National MPs got a bill in the ballot (or could get
    agreement of the hierarchy for their bills) then the chances of a non
    hostile bill being drawn would increase from 14/71 to 34/91 or from
    20% to 37%."

    Note that bills from Opposition members are deemed to be "hostile "-
    even though one of them did manage to get majority support in
    parliament

    So this appears to be a new tactic by National, led by their
    spinmeister Farrar, to "screw the scrum" by putting forward spurious
    Bills that, in this case, could have been more simply handled by the
    Statute Revision Bill going through at present - indeed theOpposition
    have offered to support that happening, but National have refused -
    wasting the time of parliament is too important to their
    "game-playing" - the interests of New Zealand are low on their
    priorities . . .

    As I said to Tony, provide some evidence.
    Read also the Subject of the thread - this Bill of a low ranking
    National MP is "The Worst Bill ever". No wonder he is so low ranking,
    but what is appalling is that the Bill has the backing of the National
    Party.

    Other governments have actually had ideas of their own, have had a na
    agenda they are want to get through, and have used sitting time
    productively, and treated member bills with respect. This government
    is the first to deliberately use their own members bills to stack the
    ballot with time wasting bills, the first to use a financial veto to
    stop a bill which had majority support of MPs. No, not every
    government has stopped as low as this one inwasting thetime of the
    house to avoid putting up sensible bills themselves.

    Judging from the statements emanating from that 'leadership' we have

    S you think that the very author of the plan by Naitonal to stack the
    list of membrs bills with anything to prevent opposition bills is
    exactly a balanced commentator on bills by opposition parties?

    Even in the comments on the url you gave rubbished Farrar on some of
    the bills. The first of the three went through to the second reading
    (perhaps unusual for the government to have allowed that to pass?) and
    then failed the second reading with National supported by the Maori
    party and ACT, against Labour/Green/NZ First and United Future. Not
    such rubbish to have gained support from all of those . . .and
    certainly no comparison with the lost luggage advertitising silliness.

    Hint - a party hack/spin merchant like Farrar is not a credible
    commentator when talking about other parties - certainly not up to the
    likes of Andrew Geddis . . .

    The statistics you quote below merely confirm that National have
    followed through on trying to stack the list instead of putting bills
    through supported by the government - what information were you trying
    to convey?

    And on 11 August the following lists the number of bills by party
    National – 26/34

    So you think that the very author of the plan by National to stack the
    list of members bills with anything to prevent opposition bills is
    exactly a balanced commentator on bills by opposition parties?
    Yes - bothe are equally guilty as I said

    Both who? If you mean National and Labour, prove that Labour put up
    the same proportion of member bills as National when they were in
    government. Private Members bills are the _only_ way opposition
    parties can put any legislation through to the house - the government
    has an easier option, but traditionally do put some votes through the
    private member route - from memory votes on which the government as
    such does not have a view and which are essentially a coscious vote.
    The Bill from Nuc Korako does not appear to be a serious attempt to
    get soewmthing through - just an attempt to prevent opposition bills
    being drawn int eh ballot - as Farrar recommended.


    Even in the comments on the url you gave rubbished Farrar on some of
    the bills. The first of the three went through to the second reading >>(perhaps unusual for the government to have allowed that to pass?) and
    then failed the second reading with National supported by the Maori
    party and ACT, against Labour/Green/NZ First and United Future. Not
    such rubbish to have gained support from all of those . . .and
    certainly no comparison with the lost luggage advertitising silliness.
    I don't particularly like Farrar but he is no worse than your left of centre >blogs

    Hint - a party hack/spin merchant like Farrar is not a credible
    commentator when talking about other parties - certainly not up to the >>likes of Andrew Geddis . . .
    In your totally biased opinion but nor are the blogs you drool over.

    Do you disagree with the conclusions of Andrew Geddis on this bill
    then? What bias do you think he shows? Pundit draws posters from both
    sides of parliament and others without any evident political bias. You
    are allowing your own prejudices to twist your perception, Tony.


    The statistics you quote below merely confirm that National have
    followed through on trying to stack the list instead of putting bills >>through supported by the government - what information were you trying
    to convey?
    No that is rubbish, they convey a very similar intent by both major parties >which is what I said in the beginning when responding to your really silly post.
    As I explanied above the intent of oposition bills is to get
    legislation before the house - and yes that is usually because they
    cannot get the government of the day to share their view. There has
    been one that wouldhave passed had National not cynically ignored the
    majority of parliament and vetoed it - a rule that badly needs to be
    changed but htat is another story. In other cases the government has
    been forced by publicity to address issues themselves that they would
    rather have left alone.
    The governments motivation for putting private membrs bills forward is
    nothing like any of that, which I am sure you are capable of working
    out for yourself. As I said, all your figures show is that the cynical game-playing promoted by Farrar is alive and well in National. .


    And on 11 August the following lists the number of bills by party >>>National – 26/34
    Labour – 26/32
    Greens – 13/14
    NZ First -12/12
    Maori – 1/1
    ACT – 1/1
    Total – 79/94

    And on 7 April the following
    National – 23/34
    Labour – 29/32
    Greens – 14/14
    NZ First -12/12
    Maori – 1/1
    ACT – 1/1
    Total – 80/94

    Wow fancy that - it is you that's spouting rubbish - again!

    20% to 37%."

    Note that bills from Opposition members are deemed to be "hostile "-
    even though one of them did manage to get majority support in
    parliament

    So this appears to be a new tactic by National, led by their
    spinmeister Farrar, to "screw the scrum" by putting forward spurious
    Bills that, in this case, could have been more simply handled by the
    Statute Revision Bill going through at present - indeed theOpposition
    have offered to support that happening, but National have refused -
    wasting the time of parliament is too important to their
    "game-playing" - the interests of New Zealand are low on their
    priorities . . .


    Time for a change of Labour and Green leadership so we can have an effective
    opposition.
    If I was to follow your usual path I would be asking you to provide proof that
    I am wrong but I have taken you to task about that idiocy before (as have >> >others) so will not stoop to your level.
    Try this http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2015/03/three_silly_bills.html ut took two
    minutes to find it and none of the bills are by the current government - fancy
    that!

    S you think that the very author of the plan by Naitonal to stack the
    list of membrs bills with anything to prevent opposition bills is
    exactly a balanced commentator on bills by opposition parties?

    Even in the comments on the url you gave rubbished Farrar on some of
    the bills. The first of the three went through to the second reading
    (perhaps unusual for the government to have allowed that to pass?) and
    then failed the second reading with National supported by the Maori
    party and ACT, against Labour/Green/NZ First and United Future. Not
    such rubbish to have gained support from all of those . . .and
    certainly no comparison with the lost luggage advertitising silliness.

    Hint - a party hack/spin merchant like Farrar is not a credible
    commentator when talking about other parties - certainly not up to the
    likes of Andrew Geddis . . .

    Yet you yourself routinely post comment from left wing blogs and commentators,
    you hypocritical little wanker.
    I am sorry that you cannot disciminate between hard facts and opinion
    expressed on political blogs such as Kiwiblog and others. Farrar is of
    course skilled in selected facts that in themselves are intended to
    lead to a biassed conclusion, but I am not aware of any policital bias
    in any of these:
    http://pundit.co.nz/content/worst-members-bill-ever http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/83065781/mps-to-debate-lost-luggage--is-this-a-waste-of-time
    and
    http://pundit.co.nz/content/cest-pire-quun-crime-cest-une-faute

    Since those are the references I have provided in this thread, and
    Tony was the one to post a political blog in defence of the members
    bill, just what left wing bias are you accusing me of?



    The statistics you quote below merely confirm that National have
    followed through on trying to stack the list instead of putting bills
    through supported by the government - what information were you trying
    to convey?

    And on 11 August the following lists the number of bills by party
    National – 26/34
    Labour – 26/32
    Greens – 13/14
    NZ First -12/12
    Maori – 1/1
    ACT – 1/1
    Total – 79/94

    And on 7 April the following
    National – 23/34
    Labour – 29/32
    Greens – 14/14
    NZ First -12/12
    Maori – 1/1
    ACT – 1/1
    Total – 80/94

    Wow fancy that - it is you that's spouting rubbish - again!

    Ironically it might just be "the" issue. You are convinced, it would appear, that this government is pretty poor. You spend your time trying to dig up reasons why they should go.
    I on the other hand believe the real issue is the lack of credible opposition, something you appear to not accept.
    The government is less than perfect and absolutely no-one is holding them to account because the oppositiion is woeful - time for the opposition to find real leadership and some real intellect.
    I am not a supporter of any political party, I never have been and it is most unlikely that will change. But if I was a supporter of any political party I cannot imagine being so blind to the shortcomings of that party as you are to the appalling incompetence of Labour in opposition - shame really because there were times during the last Labour government when they looked reasonably good under strong leadership.
    So it is time for who to go?

    When has that issue been raised? Opinion polls sugges that they are
    about as credible as the government - but then we are not expecting an
    election for over a year from now. What we do have now is a government
    that is not performing. Many of the shortcomings are identified by
    opposition parties - often before mainstream media, but you cannot
    expect the media to acknowledge that they are not the first to a
    story! Opposition parties cannot of course get legislation through as
    easily as the government, but there have been some credible attempts
    recently as National loses the invariable support of its "support
    partners" Yes of course it is disappointing that the opposition only
    has the support of roughly half New Zealanders - just as it must be disappointing for the government parties to only have a similar level
    of support.


    The government is less than perfect and absolutely no-one is holding them to >account because the oppositiion is woeful - time for the opposition to find >real leadership and some real intellect.
    So you dont think that the 'various commentators have held Nuk Korako
    to account - what more were you expecting?

    Tony

    If someone has to go at an election that is normally the government,
    Tony - most people elect a new government both because they are sick
    of the old government, and because they think the new government will
    do a better job - how well they have performed at being in opposition
    is not really terribly relevant. Some expect an opposition party to
    object to everything - Labour and the Greens do not do that, but that
    does not mean that they will be a weak opposition. What terrible
    things has the government done that you think should have been beterr
    brought to the attention of the public, Tony?

    Rich before going of on your usual tangent.
    Read Tony post again.
    and he is correct
    "Every government and opposition party has done this for decades. "
    As I said to Tony, provide some evidence.
    Read also the Subject of the thread - this Bill of a low ranking
    National MP is "The Worst Bill ever". No wonder he is so low ranking,
    but what is appalling is that the Bill has the backing of the National
    Party.

    Other governments have actually had ideas of their own, have had a na
    agenda they are want to get through, and have used sitting time
    productively, and treated member bills with respect. This government
    is the first to deliberately use their own members bills to stack the
    ballot with time wasting bills, the first to use a financial veto to
    stop a bill which had majority support of MPs. No, not every
    government has stopped as low as this one inwasting thetime of the
    house to avoid putting up sensible bills themselves.


    Rich you are a lying little shit.
    I did not quote you. I quoted Tony.
    And you went of on your usual tangent talking shit.
    The fact remains the opposition have used private member bill
    to promote their socialist agenda for years.

    Sue Morons parental leave is classic example.

    Natoinal are not really serious about governing New Zealand for New

    Time for a change.
    Every government and opposition party has done this for decades.
    Rubbish - can you provide any references supporting this bizarre
    assertion?

    You may want to look here:
    http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2015/09/members_bills_ballot_17_september_2015.html

    After a list of members Bills, Farrar gives stistics by political
    party and then says:
    "If the other 20 National MPs got a bill in the ballot (or could get
    agreement of the hierarchy for their bills) then the chances of a non
    hostile bill being drawn would increase from 14/71 to 34/91 or from
    20% to 37%."

    Note that bills from Opposition members are deemed to be "hostile "-
    even though one of them did manage to get majority support in

    is the first to deliberately use their own members bills to stack the >>ballot with time wasting bills, the first to use a financial veto to
    stop a bill which had majority support of MPs. No, not every
    government has stopped as low as this one inwasting thetime of the
    house to avoid putting up sensible bills themselves.


    Rich you are a lying little shit.
    I did not quote you. I quoted Tony.

    So provide some evidence of the assertion if you support it . . .
    waiting . . .

    And you went of on your usual tangent talking shit.
    The fact remains the opposition have used private member bill
    to promote their socialist agenda for years.

    Putting private members bills forward is what successive opposition
    parties have done, endeavoured to get legislation through that they
    believe may have the support of a majority of parliament, when the
    government does not want to give it the same priority.

    That is quite different from a government deliberately stacking the
    list of private member bills with rubbish bills by their own members
    purely to make opposition bills less likely to be drawn - in the case
    of this Bill it achieves nothing, could have been included in the
    Statutes Revision bill already before the house, and is merely a
    deliberate waste of time for partisan political purposes by the
    government. Such a level of cynicism and lack of interests in the good
    of the country is indeed a new "innovation" by the current government.
    See the difference?

    I said the government has done nothing "terrible", why did you change

    And I said that the oppositiion is woeful and I believe it is because >>>they have poor leadership, why did you change the sense of what I

    Tony

    Can you point to anything in particular that makes the opposition >>incompetent or their leadership woeful, or the opposition less credible >>than the government?
    Nothing in particular but just about everything in general. They cannot choose and keep a leader, they are full of personal attacks and they
    have little or no policies.

    Does any of that excuse the deliberate stacking of the list of members >>bills by National with stupid bills such as that referred to in the
    Subject of ths thread?
    As you very well know I have stated that all parties have done this for decades and provided evidence of that. You have not demonstrated that it
    was deliberate stacking of the list of members bills by National with
    stupid bills So your question is incompetent.

    Obviously he has no recourse to the Internet where he can peruse

    Tony




    And you went of on your usual tangent talking shit.
    The fact remains the opposition have used private member bill
    to promote their socialist agenda for years.

    Putting private members bills forward is what successive opposition
    parties have done, endeavoured to get legislation through that they
    believe may have the support of a majority of parliament, when the >>government does not want to give it the same priority.

    That is quite different from a government deliberately stacking the
    list of private member bills with rubbish bills

    In your uniformed opinon.
    It is a fact that a government stacking the system when its MPs have
    other ways of getting bils through is quite different from Opposition
    MPs using the only way of getting Bill considered.

    Do you agree?




    by their own members
    purely to make opposition bills less likely to be drawn
    So what's the problem.
    The opposition were only pushing their socialist barrow.
    Government Back benchers have every right to submit bills
    Then again according to Rich
    Every MP is equal.
    Coalition of loses MPs are more equal.

    "Coalition of loses" what is that?


    - in the case
    of this Bill it achieves nothing, could have been included in the
    Statutes Revision bill already before the house, and is merely a
    deliberate waste of time for partisan political purposes by the
    government. Such a level of cynicism and lack of interests in the good
    of the country is indeed a new "innovation" by the current government.
    See the difference?
    No talking twaddle.

    Talking to yourself? What did you not understand?




    Sue Morons parental leave is classic example.

    And the saga continues - but now with the Gerry Brownlee defence!
    Pundit

    AUGUST 16, 2016
    POLITICS

    mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa

    by Andrew Geddis

    Gerry Brownlee has made me see the error of my ways. Two plus two
    equals five, and Nuk Korako's #noluggageleftbehind bill is a sterling contribution to the very fabric of New Zealand's democracy.

    As some of you may have noticed, I put up a couple of blog posts last
    week in which I said some less than charitable things about
    Tutehounuku (Nuk) Korako's members bill, the Airport Authorities
    (Publicising Lost Property Sales) Amendment Bill.

    I called it "abysmal". I said it will "literally achieve nothing at
    all." I suggested that Mr Korako "doesn't seem to understand what it
    is his proposed bill will even do." For heaven's sake, I even
    described his proposal as the "Worst Members Bill Ever"!

    The real reason for this bill was, I suggested, to act as stuffing for
    the members ballot so as to reduce the chances of one of the
    opposition members' bills being drawn and debated. Then, feeling
    pretty good about myself and my political perspicuity, I sat back and
    waited for the plaudits to flow.

    But I began to become a bit nervous about my position when it found
    echoes of support from both Matthew Hooton and Mike Williams on
    Monday's RNZ National's 9-to-noon show. On the usually reliable
    assumption that if both of these gentlemen agree with something, it
    most likely must be wrong, I wondered whether I had made some sort of
    ghastly mistake.

    And then on today's NBR website came confirmation of my fears. In a
    story by Jason Walls hidden behind their paywall, Gerry Brownlee
    (National's leader of the House), let it be known in no uncertain
    terms that I had completely overstepped my place and taken on airs
    that weren't for the likes of the little people.

    When asked about Prof Geddis¹s comments, Mr Brownlee said it was
    ³quite sad.²

    ³Professor Geddis is demonstrating a degree of arrogance that can only
    come from academics,² he says.

    ³Ultimately, if you took that to its nth degree, it¹s an attack on
    democracy. For him to pontificate this is a bill unworthy of
    Parliament is just completely inappropriate,² Mr Brownlee says.

    And so, to the people of New Zealand - but more importantly, to the
    institution of Parliament and the very concept of democracy itself - I apologise. I have seen the error of my ways. I shall no longer make
    the arrogant assumption that the statutory requirement that my
    University "accept a role as critic and conscience of society"
    requires me to speak out if I see foolish or wrongheaded lawmaking.
    Instead, I will do my duty to democracy and assume that whatever MPs
    (at least, government MPs) do is completely fine and not to be
    questioned in any way, shape or form.

    So, having noted my error and repented of it, future blog posts will
    consist entirely of paeans to how well the Government is managing the
    rebuild of Christchurch and stern injunctions to readers to simply let Parliament get on with whatever it wants because it knows best.

    Whoeda thunk that Tony is Gerry Brownlee!

    What evidence was that? If you have evidence it should be easy for yu
    to give an example of a politician under the Labour-led government
    doing what National have done?
    Once more you are expecting others to disprove something you have made up. What
    evidence do you have that National have behved anyworse than any previous >government. You are making stuff up.

    http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2015/09/members_bills_ballot_17_september_2015.html

    There is no evidence that any previous government did this. If you
    think there is, show it. Farrar has clearly discovered a new way to
    give a one-finger salute to democracy and use the "bad drives out
    good" principle - his call "If the other 20 National MPs got a bill in
    the ballot (or could get agreement of the hierarchy for their bills)
    then the chances of a non hostile bill being drawn would increase from
    14/71 to 34/91 or from 20% to 37%." was a plea for Naitional to do
    just what they have done!

    You have not demonstrated that it was deliberate
    stacking of the list of members
    bills by National with stupid bills So your question is incompetent.

    I showe that the idea came from David Farrar - intentionally reducing
    the chance of an opposition MPs' bill being drawn by adding a lot of >>National MP private member bills. Did you miss that?
    The increase in
    Another piece of sarcastic crap from you - please improve your ability to >debate without sarcasm.

    Better to find fault with my returning your snide remarks back to
    yourself than actually debate the issue, Tony?

    National MPs putting private members bills forward is evidence that >>Farrar's game-pying struck a chord with National, and led directly to
    this stupiod bill.
    Don't be silly, of course it didn't because there is no evidence of game >playing - just your opinion.
    I have posted the article for you again.

    It is your reading of posts that appears to be
    incompetent.
    Well it would appear so to you, after all you cannot see how attrociously your >party is led.
    Tony
    Again your pathetic attempt to change the subject shows though. Try
    again, Tony!

    It is a fact that a government stacking the system when its MPs have

    MPs using the only way of getting Bill considered.

    Do you agree?




    by their own members
    purely to make opposition bills less likely to be drawn
    So what's the problem.
    The opposition were only pushing their socialist barrow.
    Government Back benchers have every right to submit bills

    Coalition of loses MPs are more equal.

    "Coalition of loses" what is that?

    And the saga continues - but now with the Gerry Brownlee defence!
    Pundit

    AUGUST 16, 2016
    POLITICS

    mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa

    by Andrew Geddis

    Gerry Brownlee has made me see the error of my ways. Two plus two
    equals five, and Nuk Korako's #noluggageleftbehind bill is a sterling >contribution to the very fabric of New Zealand's democracy.

    As some of you may have noticed, I put up a couple of blog posts last
    week in which I said some less than charitable things about
    Tutehounuku (Nuk) Korako's members bill, the Airport Authorities
    (Publicising Lost Property Sales) Amendment Bill.

    I called it "abysmal". I said it will "literally achieve nothing at
    all." I suggested that Mr Korako "doesn't seem to understand what it
    is his proposed bill will even do." For heaven's sake, I even
    described his proposal as the "Worst Members Bill Ever"!

    The real reason for this bill was, I suggested, to act as stuffing for
    the members ballot so as to reduce the chances of one of the
    opposition members' bills being drawn and debated. Then, feeling
    pretty good about myself and my political perspicuity, I sat back and
    waited for the plaudits to flow.

    But I began to become a bit nervous about my position when it found
    echoes of support from both Matthew Hooton and Mike Williams on
    Monday's RNZ National's 9-to-noon show. On the usually reliable
    assumption that if both of these gentlemen agree with something, it
    most likely must be wrong, I wondered whether I had made some sort of
    ghastly mistake.

    And then on today's NBR website came confirmation of my fears. In a
    story by Jason Walls hidden behind their paywall, Gerry Brownlee
    (National's leader of the House), let it be known in no uncertain
    terms that I had completely overstepped my place and taken on airs
    that weren't for the likes of the little people.

    When asked about Prof Geddis¹s comments, Mr Brownlee said it was
    ³quite sad.²

    ³Professor Geddis is demonstrating a degree of arrogance that can only
    come from academics,² he says.

    ³Ultimately, if you took that to its nth degree, it¹s an attack on
    democracy. For him to pontificate this is a bill unworthy of
    Parliament is just completely inappropriate,² Mr Brownlee says.

    And so, to the people of New Zealand - but more importantly, to the >institution of Parliament and the very concept of democracy itself - I >apologise. I have seen the error of my ways. I shall no longer make
    the arrogant assumption that the statutory requirement that my
    University "accept a role as critic and conscience of society"
    requires me to speak out if I see foolish or wrongheaded lawmaking.
    Instead, I will do my duty to democracy and assume that whatever MPs
    (at least, government MPs) do is completely fine and not to be
    questioned in any way, shape or form.

    So, having noted my error and repented of it, future blog posts will
    consist entirely of paeans to how well the Government is managing the
    rebuild of Christchurch and stern injunctions to readers to simply let >Parliament get on with whatever it wants because it knows best.

    http://pundit.co.nz/content/mea-culpa-mea-culpa-mea-m%C3%A1xima-culpa

    Whoeda thunk that Tony is Gerry Brownlee!
    Wow so you like really big men do you?
    I respect your sexual honesty even if it is bizarre.

    Tony

    This may be pertinent:

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11694247

    Quite a different issue - unles you are referring to National trying
    to divert from its own problems by attacking the Opposition? The
    stacking of private members bills came about because Labour was
    putting up Bills that United Future and the Maori Party wanted to
    support - all a consequnce of the poll-driven Nats feeling threatened
    and out of ideas . . .
    Of course it isn't a different isuue - only a retarded 5 year old would think so.

    So a lesser intellect such as Dickbot would think what, then?

    The person operating the Dickbot account today has on several occasions pointed
    out obvious typos.

    This is amusing given that the usual Dickbot operators are among the worst fat fingered or drunk typists ever. Remember when Dickbot just couldn't type "the" and always left "teh" instead?

    Just more rank PKB hypocrisy from Dickbot. Ho hum.

    Saying "The Danes have no problem with this" is a very sweeping statement.
    Are you saying there are no Danes that lobby for lower taxation and less government spending?

    Money is only a resource. It enables society to function and for the Government to provide goods and services to the people of the country.

    Money is private property. No third party should have the power to
    confiscate it, no matter how many people thing they should. Democracy
    shouldn't allow the few to harm the many.

    Time for a change.

    There's no credible alternative.

    You must have a very limited vision, and limited hope.

    I see the current NZ political landscape clearly. My vision isn't at fault,
    the vision and aptitude of Labour and the Green's is. Government needs a
    strong opposition to function well. Labour are letting the country down in
    this regard.

    Given the rank hopeless incompetence of "Double Dipton" Blinglish,
    Shon-key and the rest of the Nasty Nat mob, Labour/Green will
    continue to work hard towards victory in 2017. That's what you get due
    to the lack of credible government.

    There has never been a "Double Dipton" Blinglish, Shon-key

    Basically Rich if you are going to be moralistic wordsmith
    you have to be squeaky clean.
    You are not squeaky clean. you are covered in turds.


    Nope. The turds objected to the stench and moved south of Hastings

    I guess you are ccalling JohnO a turd as well then - my comment was
    merely a 180 degree reversal of his.

    We should be sorry for those affected by the water problems in
    Havelock - and the same for others subject to toxic affects : http://www.nzherald.co.nz/news-cartoons/news/article.cfm?c_id=500814&objectid=11695119

    And why are we paying for this?
    from the second url above:
    "It has become a tactic for the Government to flood the ballot with
    bills to limit the chances of an Opposition bill being drawn. But is
    this taking the mickey?"

    Natoinal are not really serious about governing New Zealand for New
    Zealanders - its all a game to them - onour money!

    Yet you support more of our money being taken from us. Hypocrisy?

    Denmark is a country with one of the higest tax rates in the world.
    The Danes have no problem with this for they believe that those
    taxes are spent wisely.

    I would take that statement with a grain of salt.
    The country is a socialist cesspit. >http://www.snopes.com/denmark-socialism-brutal-meme/

    The ful report is interesting - it points out that both the original
    article and the analysis are both full of distortions of the truth -
    why are we not surprised?

    The Government moved to put the Bill in its proper place by dealing with
    it quickly, on the spot and in one session. Winston Peters the King-
    maker blocked that in its tracks and ensured that "Parliament will now
    have four debates and a full public consultation process on the weighty >>subject of lost property at airports."

    Who's being irresponsible now?

    Winston learned all he needs about campaigning (and its finances) and
    shallow posturing from his long membership of the National Party

    And you have the gall to accuse others of changing the subject?

    It is an extension of the subject - to waste time on such a puerile
    bill is undoubtedly a political decision; I have little time for
    Winston's policies, but he learned his trade from an earlier time with National, and presumably thinks it points out the stupidity of
    National in allowing the bill to be put into the ballot int he first
    place. Shallow posturing is pertinent to the actions of both National
    and NZ First - but National started the process by their attempt to
    restrict the number of opposiotion member bills.
