If National wins ...

I note Winston is pronouncing gloom and doom this morning about the coming financial slump, and slamming the reserve bank governor who obviously doesn't know as much as Winston does. Must have been polishing his crystal ball, and lining himself up as treasurer again - a position created to feed his ego before, so why not again.

Good Point FP.

Sheep/Beef farmers are less optimistic than before, dairy farmers only slightly so.



If they paid a sensible salary, they could afford some more research into mitigation of waterways damage.

Landowners selling water ,what a farce

"$1 a cubic metre I think personally undervalues what the water can produce. If you look at what each cubic metre "

We have seen English was prepared to sell his soul to the devil to win the election with his unethical tactics so there will more of the same to become the Govt; he will do anything to get back in power. This is the new Bill unfortunately.

Gosh - you must be desperate. Better wait for the outcome before you are accusing people to sell their soul - at the end it might be Jacinda and James being more desperate. But wait ... do they have a soul they can sell?

Im hoping for a good outcome. A lot of tetchy grumpy nationalists around atm
Any comment on the price irrigators are prepared to pay BP.? $1-$1.50 a cubic metre. So why are they bleating about 1 to 2 c, laughable and farcical imo.

They say that every 10 years or so, NZ has to experience a real economic downturn so whoever becomes the gov't might just have to deal about that for that cycle is about now or next year. Thinking positively still but preparing for the worst.
What was the reasoning again about the Greens not wanting to be in gov't with National?

Just for interest.

Don't think so. Jacinda will do anything to make Winston happy - even offer him a shared PM position. And the irrelevant Greenies will only ask "how high" when Winston asks them to jump. Lets prepare for a short, entertaining but destructive left wing interlude - shall we?

Might be a good time to move towards a strong cash position in some foreign currency.

Both National and Labour leaders have ruled out offering NZF PM or Finance roles. The Greens are far more relevant than ACT and as National has become more centre than right things won't change too much.

Is it my head or are the topics political being totally ignored by posters? Two whole days? Must be something in the water.

No. We're all just waiting for Winston first to announce his decision - and try and scrape eZ off the ceiling when he explodes with delight.
