    Thinking about it FP glad to see you are concerned about inflation sadly your concern may be too late. If I read correctly house prices have been inflating by close to 10% per annum for a number of years now, also the lower yields offered by sharemarket investments would indicate quite strong inflation in share prices as well. Or are you only concerned about wage inflation not asset prices?

    He never did a thing. Sat in parliament for 20 years and said nothing - did nothing. Don't know about the Catholic thing , but this is a scottish-presbyterian town full of voters who would never consider anything but labour.

    Hlouse prices have beedn rising world wide, but now slowing. NZ will have a higher than normal inflation rate beccuse of Peters' 1960's mentality - which he'll ram down Robertson's throat. Mandated wage increases will set off price rises - always does. Remember the 60s?

    To be fair National got that ball rolling with the Pay Equity deal. A pay rise with no expectation of an increase in productivity. Go figure!

    No your team didn't win, you were just handed a get out of jail card from a Narcissist, who doesn't give a toss about your team just the long term survival of NZ First. Let the chaos begin.

    Don't be so negative. They're bound to last a good six months.
