I see Craig has beaten me to it, but it's a point worth re-stating: Why couldn't this have been done by video conference?
i get teleconferencing when it's a silly old power point, but what if it was a team building and training event?

if it was the public service got 2 days of work from their staff for free ;) -
American? In my mind the identification of the hoodie with delinquent youth is mostly a UK thing.

I've fond memories ofThe Hobbit, but I'm seeing how its going to fill two features -- especially if they're bloated out to the usual Jackson length.

that's becuase i suspect they were now under the 'all so supportive' arm of the government and on some sort of benefit. Then again somone at
Which let's not forget gets taxed.
If you want to help the less well off people in NZ why not stop income tax on government benefits?How about no income tax for people earing under X K a year, that is far more manageable than GST changes. It's just another tax rate.

while there is a wealth issue when it comes to GST
the issue when picking and choosing what is or is not cover
Why only food, what about other necessities
like electricity?
or toilet paper?
and what about the cost to companies working out the difference, they will only raise their prices to get back their cost, most probably wiping out the benefit from no GST. -
