Hard News: We interrupt this broadcast ..., in reply to Heather Gaye,
I think between their three policy points
Similar to Labour's, so they'll get along then. Which is a good thing yes?

(Ian could try harder in maths, etc)
You were lucky, I got, Sofie is doing well in Math but could do better if she came to class.

They’re basically saying they’ll implement their three policy points no matter what.
Or, that they are happy to be bribed?:)

This government reminds me of Muldoon’s era. It really does. But that’s just me, I am sure.
Nope, you are not alone. But that's just me.;)

Hard News: Occupy: Don't call it a protest, in reply to DCBCauchi,
Nowhere really any more are there small family-owned farms where cows wander round in open fields crapping all over the place. Instead, there are massive factory farms.
Many in the Far North. 3 in the street we are in with 3 behind the back of us. One admittedly being grazing for 'off to market, one last graze annat' but the rest are fairly small family owned farms. I know cos they have even wandered through my patch crapping all over the place. Way to meet the neighbours but.

OnPoint: PREFU 2011: "What credit downgrade?", in reply to Ian Dalziel,
As an aside – this gas leak thing is a worry, it is showing up our infrastructure problems again
I rather liked the farmers assessment of the whole gas leak of which he did complain about on the Friday and again on Monday after ( the RWC finished) the assessment of there being "nothing to see here move along " The pipes could have leaked for weeks and only been noticeable when the farmer did a drive by. He is correct. The cliffs are eroding, the pipes are moving. See, trouble with the insurance is, being partially owned by Shell, there could be other private contingencies. (Underwriters etc) but I do think this is a perfect example of trying to figure out who is responsible for what. Not Vector Pipes but they are contracted to maintain and that is privatisation. Pass the buck when the shit hits the fan as such.
Oh and Key, ugh Who took down the handshake Mr Key? -

They’re very much on the “do-nothing government” line now.

As for hoping things get better … well I hope somehow this paper will magically get written and appear on my computer … dammit
Bill has promised more public servants on the dole queue and as Duncan Garner mentioned on te News last night. 2000 jobs gone already ,ain't seen nothing yet. I think the Rena is a great ad for cutbacks to the outback. Shouldn't the campaign slogan be "more of the same" for Nactional.
Give me a Don!
Give me a Key!
Oh it's a Donkey.
Coat getting, places to go. :)
