I think Craig might have meant District Health Board. Or CHEs.
Oh no, not the block of CHE's argument again. Can't these apologists for National think of anything else, like policy for instance.

Hence emoticons :D :-}

And then came Heineken Premium Light. Chris says that made the decision to turn down Tegel a whole lot easier.
Brings a whole new light to the beer Vs food decision.

No offence taken Bob. Like I said, this isn'tKiwiblog, we don't do offence here :-)

Thanx Bob, you could have just said I was wrong but then this isn't Kiwiblog. :-)
"In the hood, there is comfort for all." -
BTW
I thought the term "Hoodie" was a corruption of "Neighbourhood"
as in "in the hood" in which case is National saying "we are going to ban people from your neighbourhood fro going to shopping malls"?
Maybe not but then they won't tell us what they do stand for, will they? -
Interesting backgound document on Government Accountability to the House

Sigh.
There you go. The thread goes full circle. I'm off. -
Rankin was appointed under National when State house rentals were at market values. So. Dot would now be paying about $400 a week under that regime and the amount of rent that $65000 would pay for her is about three Years.

Lockwood Smith seems to be suggesting we shift our focus on skilled immigration to migrant labour status. He says.
Common sense suggests the seasonal work permit – that has for years provided much of the seasonal labour required for our vital horticulture industries
Significant concern is growing right now around New Zealand's fruit-growing regions
Having said this, earlier in his speech;
if the applicant has a partner and two children, for example, only one of the four immigrants arriving may be bringing in needed skills,
From that I gather Nationals policy on immigration will, "You can come here and work cheap for our mates but leave the wife and kids at home"
Not a good look in my books.
