if the proceeds from an asset sale were used to retire foreign debt
I don't see that being proposed - only to reduce future borrowing for unspecified core assets which may or may not have productive revenue streams. Of course as mentioned upthread it's all the same giant obfuscation as this government's current borrowing somehow not being for tax cuts.

Anyone exmained why not offer bonds rather than shares in these SOEs?

Some rich person probably didn't invite her to a party or something. I believe Bernard's road to Damascus was somewhat more thought out.

Sobering exploration of German memorial architecture by Chris Barton, but you may need a coffee to get through it (long).

To me, it's the notion that you can only talk about either coffee or politics, and that this site is somehow a hotbed of smug luxury lifestyle discussions.

No instant? Ouch.
Amidst making some interesting points, an agitated Gingercrush in the Standard's comments will be relieved that chardonnay socialists have finally conceded the beverage's existence, comrades:
And the left and in particular the liberal left really have no fucking clue about how society works. I was reminded of this as I read this hilarious piece at Public Address. http://publicaddress.net/hardnews/because-its-about-time-we-had-another-coffee/. 245 posts.Could the liberals be anymore pathetic. And in those 245 replies not one fucking commentator there picked up the fact that actually most New Zealanders still like their instant coffee.
And its that very attitude displayed so evident by those commentators. You’re completely out of fucking touch. That same attitude is increasingly displayed by Labour and the Greens. Sure those MPs can and do sympathise with the poor. Just as the liberals on Public Address do.But you’re not living that situation and giving 10 dollars isn’t going to make such people smile. And I’m not sure bashing the rich do you any good. The poor actually aren’t worried about the rich. You can’t bash the rich and give small pickings and expect those low income earners will be grateful.
It's a joyless world.

Fan-diddly-tastic to whichever bright spark got that into browsers.
The potential has been there for ages, just that many web designers don't bother - just like accessibility features that are often broken in implementation for no good reason.
