I have to sit thru 63 seconds of Jim Anderton ? ......... I'd rather apologise profusely , and get Mrs T. to whump me with her handbag ! ........... I'll give you gummy bears , if I can wiggle out of Jimbo's oratory .
Get into power and do
Get into power and do the opposite to you said during your election campaign, thats now just accepted Kiwi culture isn't it?

Iain,
John Howard introduced the concept of "Core" and "non-Core" promises. I'm surprised that Key hasn't latched on to that concept and given it a run.

Like the link Alex.
There is an old joke that I have changed that can be used for a lot of different VESTED INTERESTS......like about Lawyers and Car Salesmen, that now runs...
"How can you tell when a Politician is lying".
The answer....
"You can see their lips moving".
What Key and/or any World Politician has not done is TELL THE TRUTH about the real situation facing New Zealand and the World, Socially and Fine-ancially.
It is no different to that facing the World for the past years.
Someone is going to pay......and it will NEVER be them....in their Ivory Towers.
Then collectively we may be able to mitigate most of the problems, they CONTINUE to create and perpetuate.
No HONE-STY......see how apt that is.....a bit like....SHON-KEY.....
Tinkering with an economy, does not an economy make, nor does being economic with the TRUTH.
Spin and Bull-crap does not engender a feeling of TRUST, nor does pandering.
Tell it like it is....PISS or get off the POT.
Hard times for some...always meant HARD LABOUR for others until last year.
Now un-fortune-ately.... it will be more of the same.....only now it will be NATIONAL interests....but only for THEM.
The SHAKY ISLES may become more SHAKY, when the real flight of Wealth really starts.
The margins are tight..for some........but they are NOT...with your money........go figure.
Scamming is not a good LOOK.
I have had enough....have you.
It pays to be LIQUID....and FAST.....as the PONZI scheme finally runs its course.
As a wee aside.....did anyone see the SIDE-SWIPE in the Herald yesterday.
Americas biggest rip-offs...where the margins are not so tight.
Text-messages 6500% mark-ups.
Hotel Mini-bars 1300%
Movie Theatre popcorn 900%
Wine in restaurants 500%.
Well we can surely better that in NZ.....give it a thought as I leave for a MONTH away from the rigours of this site.....
Out of sight....out of mind. (In more ways than one)
Mind over matter......You don't mind....and I don't matter.
HO HUM......SHEEPLES.
Wakey Wakey New Zealand.....
