Really G, if people don't have utopian ideals, how can NZers ever drag themselves up from their base instincts of personal greed. Political ideologies were probably perfect; unfortunately people got involved.
Thanks, Patricia, but it hasn't shown up for a while now, so my great care under our 'utopian freeish' health system is probably the reason why. Also, I prefer tea to coffee so G and I are never going to agree! :)
G, as for your previous posts on cancer; I've had it. 2/3 likely to get it back. Treatment taken because my children were too young. That is no longer the case. There is now no need for me to take treatment again. As the body ages, we should take the hint ...
G, you can call it utopian if you like. I just see NZ's future under privatisation as a world like below, where staff are forced to beg for an 82p pay rise. The British NHS is a public good, yet privatised parts are making high profits from the public ...
A few decades ago, I remembered a radio item about a person with altzeimers being refused kidney dialysis treatment. There ended any pretence that ethical well-being of patients was more important than money. I was appalled at the time. Now I realise that ...
Me too.
Surely, the most important next step is to seek submissions from early education centres, primary schools, secondary schools, techs and universities; they're the ones to suffer from our greed.
Just to rejig the memory on nats: 'Heck of a job Brownlee WrittenBy: EDDIE - Date published:1:22 am, April 30th, 2011 The government has spent $1 million so far on 350 campervans for Christchurch. One person stayed in them. For that money, better to put ...
Thanks for the % correction, Graeme. Much appreciated.
Rodney hide is probably behind this. Without Len Brown being Mayor, we wouldn't have our asset now. JKeyll and Hide had that sown up until Brown came in and promised not to sell it. Matt McCarten??? I deleted what I wanted to say about Matt, man of the ...
This is like watching Star Wars; NZ fighting for good and USa turning to the dark side.
Great idea Gabby, and the replacements can be from the other side.
Thank you Incognito; I should have known it would be.

Gee thanks Nacts. I'm even more likely to donate to Labour now you've shown your dirtyleaking politics of ex-ede,lusk and co cannibalising NZers is alive and well.

I hope they've got a 24/7 guard on the Pike Mine.
The Auckland Fried Chicken Festial, a hyped up profit driven use of hens, encouraging people to eat more chicken. Does anyone know if all the chicken was once from creatures living open range or open to the outside and sunshine? If not is that how New ...
If the idiots in charge of any economy can't turn a worker into an asset in the accounting system instead of an expense, they don't deserve to be in charge. Workers are the economy.
Idyits, the lotta ya; Listener's handlers are already priming up Sam Johnson as the next wonderboy for nats. He has political leanings to stand for nats and it won't be about helping people this time; it'll be about helpin' himself. That's what being a nat...

Gains from CGT are too far down the track. Transaction tax could go on paper transfer transactions by wealth, now.
Years ago, a very shy friend, a white teenager was walking down the quiet main street and was called a white honky from the other side of the street by a brown teenager. My friend just kept her head down and walked quickly on; why? The other person was ...
The only way we can get financial equity for New Zealanders is to target the asset base of those using it to make profit with no financial penalty. Also, the more assets = the more wealth, influence which enables more wealth. The cycle of wealth feeds off ...
This is so boring; in the end it's always about men wanting to control women. Get over it! They're so much better than 'you'.
Excellent points, Peterlepaysan. I also continue to rail against those that demand my individual responsibility in all matters of life, yet demand I have no individual right to determine my own demise.
Love it. Only in NZ, eh. Ohh what used to be NZ before the uglies took us over. PS I remember the episode when they decided to remove the tree stump...
I shudder to think how many interfering political think tanks are being funded in NZ by koch bros.
Thanks JessNZ (1.1) for directing to the list of recommendations accepted or rejected. No 15 is concerning. Paula Bennett rejected 'Secure storage confirmed before licence or endorsement received'. Was it in place previously? Because: about two years ago a...
