    So that’s why we are hemorrhaging cash.
    They can’t / wont look for themselves because they need scapegoats to blame.

    Hungry schoolkids don’t vote and their parents probably won’t vote National, so why bother?

      Sack between four and ten consultants and theirs the money!
      Not likely Nationals trougher couldn’t afford their luxury lifstylea that would be to hard!

    They need to consult us as to what the hell they are doing in government.

      I wonder if they even check the consultants credentials.
      They wouldn’t know what to check is my guess.

    …yep… the amount of time this government spends fixating on welfare would be better spent working on how to increase jobs/opportunities for people.

    Closing the disparity on income would be a good start.

    Dear Nact,

    Stop fixating on the unemployed and start showing us the jobs.

    I’m sure I could do a much better job, and I’d do it for $50k a year
