I had an excellent piece sent to me some time ago that summed up the situation quite succinctly. "......many home owners simply bought houses they couldn't afford, some of them did so only because they were counseled to do so by mortgage brokers, lenders, ...
"This here graph, in putting the recent numbers and growth in perspective, shows those statements to be false by any reasonable analysis, unless you can conclusivly prove we need fewer public servants per capita that we did a decade ago. " One could just ...
What about funding from the unions to political parties - surely that should still be allowable.
AHHHHHHH IT'S THE APOCALYPSE The standard and Whaleoil are in agreement.
$12 grand ......... gawd if that's as serious as dodgy stuff gets in NZ methinks we are as clean as driven snow. At least the Brits can come up with a decent sex scandal every now and then.
No, not really, all it shows is numbers of public servants at certain periods - it gives no real insight into what the numbers represent (where they worked etc). The Nats could just as easily say that numbers of public servants increased by 50% under ...
You should sore up the WTF comments and post them all up in a couple of months......sometimes I can't help reading them and laughing out loud despite their complete bizarreness.
Reading O'Sullivan's article it looks that the businessman taken up with Key appear to represent most of our major existing and future interests in maximising trade under the FTA to China - seems like a fairly sensible choice to me. As an aside posts like ...
sis boom ching !
Interesting article I'm not sure why you've chosen to use it as a smear just to the Nats as "Tony Friedlander said the group had also donated $30,000 to the National Party and $20,000 to the Labour Party - making its total donations $95,000." "Fletcher ...
Thanks bystander - always interesting to see the other side of the story. I note that ..."27 workers belonging to Unite represent a small percentage of the 150 call centre part-time staff employed by Synovate." and Synovate's comments that ..... "On April ...
Weak ....the guarantee put through by the last government and strongly supported by the opposition while the legislation should have excluded the fly by night finance companies it is hardly an example of faceless bankers at the government teat. You know as...
But what do you think the maori Party have actually "gotten' out out this National/Act govt? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10566662
"I'm more worried about the faceless bankers at the teat" Eh what .......... what faceless bankers are at the government teat in NZ ? Which of the banks in NZ masterminded the property boom ? I thought you Labour party apparatchicks had given up on the Key...
In between the bombast it might be useful to consider what a reasonable level of public servants for NZ would be. I would suggest that there's probably areas that are grossly over resourced and areas that are grossly under resourced, I'm assuming the the ...
I'd suggest another more productive way would be to secure a win on the foreshore and seabed.
Even better why doesn't someone who is Maori explain from a Maori perspective why or why not the relationship with the current government is/isn't Mana enhancing.
In between your abuse of apostrophes you might like to remember that it's 2009 not 1909.
Can you name one corporate prick in NZ that created this recession .......... just one ?
Three of them are Nazis ....really ?Hhow would you know unless ..OMG Felix is a Nazi.
but they don't talk about total factor productivity, they talk about labour productivity. Anyway, just as growth sucks in lower quality workers which drags on average labour productivity growth also sucks in lower quality capital which is the first to be ...
