    Maybe doing a 'Hillary' and setting up for a court case if she loses.

    Slightly more seriously, Mr Edgeler was on the wireless today saying he saw no problem with the practice as there were several safeguards in place. Which the Electoral Commission also stated.

    [QUOTE=Jay;685067]Hasn't every government since I don't know when, nearly always have increased funding for health services in each budget, and especially near an election. As MM said I think we do pretty well given our smallish population.
    That along with more police officers seems to stick out each budget, not sure where they all go, must just as many exiting thru the out door

    The silent minority of ignored , sick and dying people disagree with you. Thousand s still waiting for eye ops for example. Many with what will be come irreversible glaucoma, macula degeneration sight loss.Not valued, not cared for.You may here about a very few who still have the strength to fight the system and manage to get some media interest.Tip of the very uncaring iceberg national imo. no care no values if one is uninsured you are a disposable statistic.

    It seems to me that education is where things need a sharp boost, or was your schooling during a Labour govt?

    Yes the farmer is just saying how it is esp on canterbury plains where most of the irrigating is done because they converted so much unsuitable land to dairying and intensified; got cheap phillipino labour and are destroying the environment and creaming it literally. We are the upset ones about this in reality with those select few who are greedy and uncaring and polluting. Did they also drain the aquifers or is that in progress?

    Are you and EZ eating the fruit off the same Garbage Tree. If National was so uncaring they would have stripped DHB's of their budgets. Not increased health spending in areas such as pay for carers.

    Simple fact is - no matter who is in government someone will miss out.

    Enough of the hate toward farmers! Its the city slickers causing much more of the problem. They are the ones pouring rubbish into their water ways, drive more cars and trucks per cubic meter of atmosphere, sucking more life out of the national grid and not paying for the water they use. It wasn't farmers who did this to the Ophihi River

    Joshuatree impression:
    I am sure that all that rubbish dead cars & such was dumped by naughty National nobs and cleaned up by life long Labour lovers.
