Labour built a huge bureacracy, now it’s time to cut it back. ACC is not something that should be a government monopoly.

Why is anyone surprised? National have also cut funding to the training of workplace health and safety representatives to both business and unions, even although the role of workplace involvement in injury prevention is well established. And watch out everyone, Pansy Wong’s in charge of reviewing ACC’s Injury Prevention Strategy.

dont forget that looking after people is a social good and the basic driving psyche of right wingers and neo cons is causing anybody but themselves as much trouble as they can.
this view in this day and age about their behaviour is frowned upon even by left wingers because it opens up the can of worms about meaning in the 21st century but nevertheless it is true.
focus on this and you in the money.
the rest is just flapping the gums.

Toad, clearly it would be against the public interest for anything embarrassing to Key’s government to come public.

If it happened too often, we might have left-wing government again, and look what a disaster that was last time:
- record low unemployment, lower crime, lower debt, lower tax, higher wages, better healthcare, better education

disaster.

btw, toad. What’s up with Kevin Hague rushing to defend Key’s cycle-way? You know? Yay for cycle-ways and all that but Key’s cycle-way is a joke and an embarrassment. The Greens would be wise to keep their brand well clear of it and focus on things that actually do improve the environment, rather than projects designed to fly in more tourists from overseas on carbon-emitting jets.

Nationals theorem:

Researching why people get sick at work means that you’ll have to do something about it and that’ll cost money – money that could be used for more tax cuts for the rich and higher profits. If we ignore it, perhaps it’ll go away.

No reason given. Wonder if, when questioned, Wilkinson will tkae her lead from Key and say it is “not in the public interest” to reveal the reason?
