    They are burning through it pretty quickly.

    Its no mistake Govt announcing end of MP payrises and CEO bonuses. Its a very clear message the economy is tightening and we cannot afford sch things. It is softening us up for the inevitable tanked economy and increase in govt spending message on the back of the virtuous (we are doing our bit by having no pay rise - so no pay rises for everyone else"

    Actually - while they stop the CEO bonuses, they are not really reducing the average CEO income, given that they are strengthening instead various other salary package components (sort of compensation for losing the bonus). More leave entitlements and more frequent salary reviews are just some of them.

    The outcome: High performers lose their bonus and are indeed worse off. Low performers who never would have got their bonus in the first place however are rewarded - they get all the goodies without the need to work for them.

    True Labor: Punish the performers and reward the non-performers!

    I guess all these special enquiries, commissions etc have to be paid for!

    Intrigue surrounds who leaked that info about Bridges

    Think it’s cool that many people are calling the person who sent the text a Textor

    Bit rough that Kris Faafoi made reference to a Nat MP’s (named) mental health in Parliament this week.

    As JT keeps reminding us ...join the dots ..or something like that

    I agree about gambling ,hate it , note how they changed it to Gaming? Note how before a sports game now the TAB has its 30secs to give the odds., thats wrong to me promoting/mixing gambling with sport etc but not to many who enjoy it. So , there area lot of people who enjoy a controlled dabble be it at the races or elsewhere, and who are not addicts. And the facts here support it

    "I don't see racing as a rich man's sport. It's a sport that employs directly and indirectly more than 50,000 people, it has an economic impact of $1.6 billion a year and it has a major reach right across the North and South Island - and the export opportunity not only for horses but for people to go and explore the world.''

    How is it that TVNZ staff are getting a bonus. If they are working in a corporate world then Put it on the block, sell to highest bidder and let it operate like any other privately held business.

    Pointless having a discussion about whether this (racing industry announcement) is sensible Government expenditure or not. We all know this is part of the price Labour pays to get to Govern alongside Winnie. He did the same for this industry when he was in with Helen. Large players in this and the bloodstock industry are very large NZ First donors. In most countries this would be called corruption
