Just to change the attack. " Bill delivering for all New Zealanders " He will give you a tax cut but only by reducing Govt. funded services. Waikato hospital as with all hospitals in NZ severely under staffed and under funded. Police struggling to cope with crime. Again under funded. As for housing -its really too hard for National to cope with the problems so we will buy a couple of motels and that will solve it.
Immigration, carry on we need lots of low paid workers and plenty of multi millionaires.
As for jet fuel, tell Govt. workers to can their travel arrangements and our MPs can stay at home and campaign in their electorates. That will solve that one.
Bills out on his delivery bike for all NZers.

If thats your best shot Gus - its pathetic.

No. She's with National. Just tick that.

[tim23]

Gus your memory is failing you - you've called me plenty of offensive names...

I did not call anyone an offensive name, and I am not an acolyte to or of National or any other political party.

Nobody gives tax cuts. They are not a gift. What governments can do is help themselves to less.

So in your view, there is nothing useful to put those taxes into? So what if a few extra staff are employed in the public sector. They pay taxes, they buy stuff, they have a dignity not seen in the dole queue. That's how Labour grew the economy so well last time. Bring it on.

Locally, a farming protest in Morrinsville managed to get on TV last night. Winston sort of derailed it, probably just to coat-tail on the publicity. Why not?

These are the same farmers who say that cows only live for five-seven years, so therefore they don't pollute more than humans in their lifetimes. Except they're outdoors and uncontrolled, and always get replaced with more cows.

If you want to hear what one farmer thinks, a farmer who appears to have been chosen as a spokesperson by the Waikato rural community, it's a bit of an eyeopener. Put a mic in front of this guy and it's quite an education.

Had a listen and he makes some very good points. The guy advocating the Labour side sounds like a sneaky weasel. The farmer is just saying it how it is.

This is why things like Working For Families works so well. It lulls everyone into the idea that the money is a gift from government and makes nearly every one a beneficiary. Ignoring the simple fact it was someone elses money in the first place.

Now I'm really worried. I thought it was just one rogue farmer talking around the facts.

Just to be clear. Are you saying that the Morrinsville farmer is being fully honest about the situation that average Waikato farmers could face under a Labour Government? What are they afraid of, again?

Anyway, I thought farmers like to minimise taxes, and improve local waterways. Sounds like a win-win.

Despite Bill saying at every opportunity that farmers are working tirelessly on improving our waterways and runoff (or words carefully chosen to that effect) Mike Joy reports that the waterways are getting worse.

We have to act now.
