    Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    All it means is that sensible people have to be reminded of the stupidity of others every time they pick up a bottle.

    Edit: Im waiting for a label that goes on soft drink that say "You are a very bad parent if you feed this sh1t to your kids"
    There is slick marketing that needs to countered and we need to cater for the least sophisticated and most vulnerable in society. That has been the case since the paleolithic times (yes - remains have been found of severely disabled cavepersons who must have been nurtured by the more able-bodied in their group!)

    Today I announced the Govt is partnering with Orange Sky a great Australian project that will run a mobile laundry and shower service for people who are homeless in Auckland.

    Maybe we should just have a "stupid" test and if you don't pass you don't get to buy alcohol. Double benefit. More money in Stupids Pocket, less Alcohol in Stupids foetus.

    Excellent news for all 336 of them. (I wonder how much that will cost).

    Starve the lower socio-economic schools of resources, fail to provide good affordable housing and affordable nutritious food and you will find plenty of folk to call as you say "stupid." Your "stupid" test ends up being a social test.

    I thought the decile system in NZ meant the lower socio-economic schools got more funding per student? Stupid me, must be uninformed.

    I am sure Fonterra chief executive Miles Hurrell can give Cindy a handful of tips how to accrue higher losses - and NZ Steel and Bluescope executive Gretta Stephens for sure will know what is best for her Australian mother company. Great selection!

    Ah yes - and given that SME's are the heartblood of our economy - there is clearly no need to properly represent them, isn't it?

    Best our gummit can do?
