    No it's not. Look at the competition. It's not surprising at all that
    National are still doing well.

    So how do you feel about them selling off housing built for emergency occupation at the same time as there are people depserately needing
    such housing?

    How do you feel about such an avoidance of any goal setting in
    relation to the increase in suicide by young people?

    Is a lack of responsibility by government OK so long as those ppolled
    don't notice?

    It' snot surprising at all. Why would people want those that commit benefit fraud in charge of things?

    I have no opinion of this as I don't know enough about it.

    The government doesn't exist to ensure people don't commit suicide. That's
    not their purpose. Suicide prevention needs to come from the community, not
    the state.

    Is a lack of responsibility by government OK so long as those ppolled
    don't notice?

    It's not irresponsible just because you assert it is.

    New Zealand is of course a community. Suicide prevention in part
    depends on the availiability of psych counselling services - who due
    to cost cutting by the government on mental health are one of the most
    stressed and overworked parts of our whole health system - it is very
    difficult to get an appointment with a psychiastrist or psychologist -
    they are just too busy. Parents concerned about their children are
    not able to get help. Of course stress is a contributor to suicide =
    the stress of poverty (increased under National), unemployment (youth unemplopyment has increased significantly under the current
    government), family breakdown (also increased, in part due to low
    wages and multiple jobs ot being enough to avoid poverty), housing
    difficulties (people in Dargaville are having problems finding
    anywhere to rent - and of course isf someone is working WINZ don;t
    want to know . . . No wonder Coleman doesn't want to have his poor
    record measured - he'd rather ignore the problems.

    It's not irresponsible just because you assert it is.
    You have not shown that there are very many people at all that
    deliberately have children knowing they are not able to afford to look
    after them - and using your argument it would not be irresponsible
    anyway just because you say it is.

    Well reading the article it looks like as usual Labour are playing with
    a stacked deck. Hell demand fell off for the houses so the government is passing them on to people who need them.

    It is no wonder that National has stopped a lot of measurements - they
    are now very aware that they will be held accountable unless they have stopped measurements - but now they are goinfg a step further to be

    No it isn't Rich. They're doing MUCH better than Labour because more and
    more are realising that a vote for Labour is a vote for a union goon as
    PM and the government being run by union decree. BTW Roy Morgan tens to
    favour Labour when compared to all the other polls except for Labours in
    house one which appears to be showing Labour in a worse light than Roy
    Morgan.

    so youth suicide rates dropped while Labour where government? If you

    It' snot surprising at all. Why would people want those that commit
    benefit fraud in charge of things?

    Do you think an admitted benefit fraudster should be in parliament?

    So how do you feel about them selling off housing built for emergency
    occupation at the same time as there are people depserately needing
    such housing?

    I have no opinion of this as I don't know enough about it.

    How very convenient for you . . . - did you read the article?

    How convenient of me? What a puerile comment. No, I did not read the
    article.

    How do you feel about such an avoidance of any goal setting in

    to cost cutting by the government on mental health are one of the most stressed and overworked parts of our whole health system - it is very difficult to get an appointment with a psychiastrist or psychologist -
    they are just too busy.

    These are mostly private businesses. No state involvement required.

    Parents concerned about their children are
    not able to get help.

    Because they don't want to pay?

    Of course stress is a contributor to suicide =
    the stress of poverty (increased under National),

    You'll have to back that up with hard data. And also define what you mean by "poverty".

    unemployment (youth
    unemplopyment has increased significantly under the current
    government), family breakdown (also increased, in part due to low
    wages and multiple jobs ot being enough to avoid poverty),

    The government isn't responsible for wages (other than of those that are employed by the state).

    housing

    I've not said that there are "very many" people in this situation.

    - and using your argument it would not be irresponsible
    anyway just because you say it is.

    Do you think having children when you know you cannot afford is responsible
    or irresponsible?

    With our dole, family help, rent assistance and all those other bits as

    The fun in this is cleaning the rich insanity from the message and
