Come on Balance. At least lay blame for this one where it lies - with the Greens.

Labour chose to get into bed with them. Lay down with dogs, you get fleas.

Meka was a known bully and has taken flight to Te Pati Maori. Could Elizabeth Kerekere also join the fired-up Te Pati Maori ranks?

As predicted, Te Pati Maori are looking to entice Elizabeth Kerekere into their ranks.

Oh look - James throw an angry face & spit .. 
Quick Marama - throw a cushion over him and sit down on it hard - to save him hurting himself
James - were your green leprechaun "Fire Alert Squad" all away asleep off the job when this happen ?
Agree - but i'm not surprised of the stupidity of his remarks because what else would you expect coming from The Green Party? "I'm SO disgusted because this building didn't have a sprinkler system" ??? "Maybe if my strong acting response to 'show that I care' is good enough to convince voters that a James Shaw tick is a well deserved vote."
Facts of life, accidents happen. How far does the Green Party want to push regulations so that nothing get done and record numbers of occupants give up owning a home as the gov't will provide all the social housing needs for everyone?

Do you really think that the amount and quality of social housing is a significant factor determining the numbers of people planning to own a home?
Would it really be a very bad thing if we continued to increase the amount of social housing available untill everyone who wanted a place to live had one?
Would it really be a very bad thing if the place was warm, dry and safe?

If New Zealand is “one of the richest nation’s in the world” as James Shaw alleges then why is the whole country on some sort of welfare? From ‘winter energy’ payments to elderly millionaires, ‘cost of living’ payments, WFF pumped in the accounts of those that decided to have multiple kids, accomodation supplements for those who can’t pay their rent or mortgage….the list goes on and on. We are “one of the richest nation’s in the world” but we are borrowing $1 billion per week….make it make sense!!
Could Shaw also tell us what the source of this great wealth is, because as far as I know we export some milk, cheese, logs, kiwifruit, meat - and that’s about it. We don’t have the vast mineral resources of our neighbour Australia. Where does Shaw think this vast wealth is being generated? Or does he believe that someone who borrows a million dollars is “rich’(?)

Makes perfect sense to me. A pork chop, a lawnmower, i-phone, or wall insulation all represent the same amount of resources whether they are govt handouts, subsidised, or paid for in gold earned by the honest sweat of John Gaunt's brow. If you tot up the amount of pork chops etc, we have more per head of popullation than most places in the world.
Economies go in cycles. Governments borrow money to smooth those cycles. If they don't, bad things (like depressions) happen. This country has a healthy credit rating, resulting from our good debt/GDP ratio, our political stability, and probably other stuff I can't think of right now. We are able to borrow on good terms as a result, and are managing our way through some very difficult worldwide problems.

It's got nothing to do with borrowing except insofar as our ability to borrow has allowed usto keep the economy moving and growing. You have it right in terms of our exports, which largely come down to climate but it isn't the whole story. we also have a free and peaceful society with a good education system, an amazing climate and scenery. Tourism and education have been important earners. Because we are a nice safe place to live, we also compete well for skilled migrants, whos skills and education are imported free. Our well educated population aren't as productive as they should be, but that would be easily fixed by more investment in tech.
We would be a bloody sight richer but for the twin disasters of Rogernomics and Ruthenasia,
