Stop quoting me this Labour/Greens claptrap.

I'm not a Greens supporter (nor, obviously a Labour supporter) but I do want to know when the Greens pass Labour relegating them to a minor party. Just send me a telegram when that happens so I can throw a God Almighty party for all my friends, relatives, neighbours.....

One at a time,Westerly, one at a time, and there is no neighbour in sight, just lots of Kanuka and blackberry, hills and trees. And sometimes a signal to my wife that I'm still alive.(This was meant to be posted before I went out to lunch and a movie - Dough - without a chainsaw.

Meanwhile back in a fully clothed reality, NZ housing affordability tops the IMFs unaffordability list.

Another thing that is up is crime, again the government is reactive rather than proactive.
Has anyone noticed the amount of serious crimes involving guns lately?
Seems like an almost daily event!

Why do you always have to spoil the fun by dragging politics into everything? I drink rainwater and its very hard to get cow dung into the tank. Every time get a cattle beast up on the roof it falls off and then craps.

It won't happen until after the next election. But I think Winston first will beat them both to become the main opposition party.

I'll nominate that for best contribution to this thread in 2016! Beats all the others' attempts to explain the political environment!

A few years ago I used to frequently stay in a tramping hut where the possums made a game of jumping on the roof and sliding into the water tank. Quite a few drowned. The water tasted fine - until we worked out what was happening. Don't recall cows on the roof though.
