Then the Left will be in charge and the country will be rooted, but it won't matter because they can go "na na, na na na - told you so"
Yawn - you're getting really boring - nothing intelligent to say about the subject - Air NZ? No? Thought not.
When Labour took over Air NZ, they owned 82%. But by around 2007 that dropped to 76% and sometime between 2007 and now has dropped a further 3% to 73%.
Someone else without the ability to debate at a higher level than "lair liar liar lair liar lair" Do you have anything intelligent to debate?
I'm happy to debate facts and figures. But not if you can't do any better than a kindergarten kid going "liar liar liar liar liar".
Trustpower have been investing in building power stations in NZ for a hundred years. Over the last 14 years Contact has also invested billions of new money on capital projects. Colonial Viper says "These people aren’t “investing” in NZ" Maybe not on ...
If that were the case, you might be able to specify something that is wrong. But since you can't, you chicken out with a meaningless generalisation.
Knuckwelhead says "as “strategic” that will simply be returned to their rightful owners without compensation if they are ever sold. " As I said - You want to campaign with a slogan ”If you invest in NZ, we’re going to screw you”. And if you want to place ...
Labour have already shown their intention to screw investors in Meridian, Mighty River Power, Contact Energy, Vector, Trustpower, and by extention, their 51% shareholder Infratil. They've signaled the same for anyone whose put their saving into building NZ...
Greywarbler says " In that case Little Things Mean a Lot." Only to the financially ignorant.
You really think Labour campaining on a slogan of ...."If you invest in NZ, we're going to screw you".... will work for them?
So much ignorance in one set of comments - 1/ A 51% shareholder loses control of a company. Rubbish. Contact Energy is an example that with 51% ownership (and therefore 51% of votes) you can do pretty much anything you want short of regulations that stop ...
So you've added and extra $20 billion spending from SOEs etc for your 2009 figure, but then omitted it for some reason in your 2013 figure If you use the SAME method - core crown expenditure, you'll get $72 billion in 2013 and $57 billion in Labour's last ...
So you're only asking the govt pay 7% of the $3.19m, or $223,000. That seems reasonable. Although on the other side of the coin they are being very generous with millions of taxpayer dollars trying to recover the bodies, which they don't have to do. ...
Mickey - if their total direct and indirect ownership of Pike River was around 7%, then they should pay 7% of the ordered compensation. But it would be wrong to fork out taxpayers dollars to pay they share of private companies and other shareholders. If ...
I had a relative just across the road right when CTV came down and you try to shift the blame from a crooked engineer to politicians on one side of the spectrum. That's pretty sick You're using dead people to try to score political points.
By your logic you're also responsible for your flatmates uncles second cousins default on a car loan. Funny that you can rule out what happened in the mine when not even the experts know. Perhaps you should ring them up and lend them your expertise about ...
McFlock says "they’re the ones who cut the spending on those things" Here's govt spending from Labour in 2008, and National in 2013, from Treasury Health Labour $11,297m, National $14,526m Education Labour $9,551, National $12,355 Housing Labour $260m, ...
Mickey Savage says "I have been reading your comments for a while and I see no understanding of what was happening or an appreciation of the deep financial hole the country currently is in." Our govt debt to GDP is half the OECD average - HALF! Our ...
1/ There's no point keeping the power companies when the Green/Labour power plan is to kill off the returns and decimate their value. 2/ The previous Labour govt closed hundreds more schools than National has.
.... [You are right but wrong photonz. ACC and Cullen Fund have...
So you've gone all anal and pedantic on a minor point, drawing attention to the much bigger issue that Labour pushed through the anti smacking law when poll after poll showed 80-90% of the population were against it. Keep digging. Dig dig dig.
Draco says "There wasn’t an anti-smacking bill." Yes - and the earth is flat. Keep it up - you look more and more delusional.
Ooohh! Some mindless abuse from a mindless abuser - so hurtful. Wake me up from your tedious abuse if/when you've ever got something intelligent to say. The reason you want to keep to the topic at hand is because it's irrelevant minutiae, and you don't ...
I'll happily vote Labour if they can get their act together. Right now they're pushing a referendum that says "Do you think NZ should retain our assets so we can destroy both their value and income with the Labour Greens power plan?"
karol - if you pull your blinkers in tightly enough, you'll be able to keep the subject about an irrelevant point. Then you won't have to look at the big picture at all. Like Labour and Greens pushed through the anti smacking bill against overwhelming ...
Which has virtually no relevance to the public compared to who was driving the bill. Only to anal pedantic people on the extreme left.
I didn't think it wasn't possible to get more anal. I was wrong.
Helen Clark. Knuckelhead says "you’re a fool, a liar, and a turncoat." Better a "turncoats" making an intelligent decision than mindlessly switching off your brain and cultishly following the same crowd whether they deserve your support or not. That's ...
framu says "how could labour and greens pass a law when they werent even the fucking govt! fucks sake – the greens have never been in govt! fuck off shill" Hilarious - abuse from someone because they think Labour wasn't in power in 2007.
"they werent in opposition – they were the govt at the time – why the fuck do you keep avoiding that rather undebateable fact?": The bill was passed against overwhelming public opposition in 2007. DUH!!!
