I did not call anyone an offensive name, and I am not an acolyte to or of National or any other political party.

Taxinda is offensive, was hoping we could lift the bar of decency a bit.
Don't be silly. I'm sure she doesn't find it offensive. I don't find it offensive either. What about being called Jakinda suprise, as she told a bunch of schoolkids? Is that:
(1) As offensive
(2) Less offensive
(3) Not offensive
(4) More offensive.
Full marks if you picked 3.
Anyone who can't see a bit of humour in their nick-name is too thin skinned for politics. I'm quite sure she's got a sense of humour.
Yeah, Recinda after the backflip on CGT.
Ok I've tried .Mods its your call from here on because there are no standards here for anyone to meet. But that is consistent for the national party and its acolytes on here.
Whatever happened to honest Bill; corrupted by power.
But what is National saying to its rural support base? It’s not just that Labour is a tax and spend party, or that Labour’s water tax will cripple good honest farmers. Bill English told the nation on TVNZ’s Q&A yesterday morning that the consequence of the water policies of the “opposition parties” was to “slaughter the dairy herd”. He then said, “The next thing they’ll be talking about: depopulate the cities, because they cause water pollution too.”
This, by the way, was shortly after he’d denied he was leading a campaign of lies and scaremongering. Whatever happened to Honest Bill?
New Zealand doesn't have an urban-rural divide – but National's trying its hardest to create one
Howabout JacInda - with a capital I
Puttig the emphasis where she would like it
On sunday, will it be Jacintarella?
Or Joshcindatree? Is she he, or he she, maybe?
:eek2:
Just to change the attack. " Bill delivering for all New Zealanders " He will give you a tax cut but only by reducing Govt. funded services. Waikato hospital as with all hospitals in NZ severely under staffed and under funded. Police struggling to cope with crime. Again under funded. As for housing -its really too hard for National to cope with the problems so we will buy a couple of motels and that will solve it.
Immigration, carry on we need lots of low paid workers and plenty of multi millionaires.
As for jet fuel, tell Govt. workers to can their travel arrangements and our MPs can stay at home and campaign in their electorates. That will solve that one.
Bills out on his delivery bike for all NZers.

So in your view, there is nothing useful to put those taxes into? So what if a few extra staff are employed in the public sector. They pay taxes, they buy stuff, they have a dignity not seen in the dole queue. That's how Labour grew the economy so well last time. Bring it on.
Locally, a farming protest in Morrinsville managed to get on TV last night. Winston sort of derailed it, probably just to coat-tail on the publicity. Why not?
These are the same farmers who say that cows only live for five-seven years, so therefore they don't pollute more than humans in their lifetimes. Except they're outdoors and uncontrolled, and always get replaced with more cows.

If you want to hear what one farmer thinks, a farmer who appears to have been chosen as a spokesperson by the Waikato rural community, it's a bit of an eyeopener. Put a mic in front of this guy and it's quite an education.

Now I'm really worried. I thought it was just one rogue farmer talking around the facts.:(
Just to be clear. Are you saying that the Morrinsville farmer is being fully honest about the situation that average Waikato farmers could face under a Labour Government? What are they afraid of, again?
Anyway, I thought farmers like to minimise taxes, and improve local waterways. Sounds like a win-win.
Despite Bill saying at every opportunity that farmers are working tirelessly on improving our waterways and runoff (or words carefully chosen to that effect) Mike Joy reports that the waterways are getting worse.
We have to act now.
