Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to Jack Harrison,
All you talk about is keeping an economic status quo,
Was that addressed to me Jack?
If so, I’ll say that the status quo is not an option in my book. NZ was lucky that the Chinese suddenly wanted a whole lot of milk powder. That’s all over now.
We are back where we started ; deep in debt as nation, and running deficits.
If it was your business doing that , what would you do? -

Except that Betham never got to do half the damage that Muldoon did.

Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to BenWilson,
No . From recall , it was something to do with a farmer meeting about the sales tax on three-wheelers , which were a new tool. It might have been during the Muldoon era Ben.
I've always wondered whether I should have just let him go :-) -

I think that you're right. If you asked me what National was seeking a mandate to do, I wouldn't be sure.
Maybe shift the tax brackets . . MAYBE.
Reform the RMA . . . some vague noises in that direction.
Can't think of anything else. -

That doesn't sound like the Tariana Turia that I know.
Too much testosterone in the new leadership? -
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to BenWilson,
No Ben, but I did save his life one day when he was rolling backwards down a a bloody near vertical slope on a three-wheeler. I was lower down, so I rammed him from below and brought him to a stop.
And you know what.. he was pissed about the grease that had ruined his suit trousers. -
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to Jack Harrison,
jack and mark , if you are trying to tell me that politics are dirtier today than they have ever been, then I'll just say that it has never been so easy to play that game. I don't believe that anything has changed except for the means to play in the dirt.

Jack I said at the outset that I don't belong here.
If you think that policy was not a big factor in the routing of the left, then just say that. -
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to Pete,
Haven't heard of it Pete. But I'm in the Rangitikei electorate , and I never heard of Deborah Russell until I read this thread.

Well . . no actually.
Maybe I got it wrong. I expected that the paranoid Yanks were spying on everybody. Was that not the only established fact?
