    No, just busy tidying up lately, got a bit behind.

    I'm not worried about Labour's progress, the budget is coming up too. I am very disturbed/horrified by the new "Coalition Party" if it ever gets onto the voting forms. I heard this RNZ interview with Hannah Tamaki live but it's even more weird on video. Watch out around the thirteenth minute onwards. Puts things into perspective doesn't it?

    Well, yes - somewhat bizarre - is this hysterical laughter?

    Not sure though, why you are horrified by them. Are you expecting that Labour needs to get together with them to stay in power after Winstons likely departure next election?

    I see - this would be a real worry, wouldn't it?

    These people are horrifying even without their proposed political party. Watching that video made me cringe.

    I thought it was Simon who was lining up with the religous conservatives? His only political ally
    Act can aso be a bit weird at times.

    Not necessarily. Hannah could take over from Twyford. There's one improvement for a kick-off.

    Good point ... didn't thought about that. Must be a win-win, then.

    I'm not sure why he's worried eitherit dramatic if you ask me. They will be lucky to get 3% - guess they need to burn some of that "hard earned".

    I like your comment about Labour needing them though :-) it's funny how you think though.
    Both National and Labour would jump into bed with them if it meant wining the next election.

    In spite of successive governments saying we must improve our productivity to make NZ a better country little has changed

    Our country’s productivity is deplorable and the current government seems he’ll bent in under mining business.

    Obviously all to hard to talk about and address because ‘productivity’ wont’ be mentioned much in tomorrow’s budget

    All being well, the 'Well Being" budget will be what it will be, set in stone now regardless of what we or anyone thinks. My presumption is that so many snouts are in the trough, or expect to be, that the "Well Being" budget will disenfranchise more snouts than it will encourage. Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Socialist budgets forsake the many for the few and meet no one's expectations, ultimately annoying almost everyone.
