Dear Liz

I understand you have considerable life experience by virtue of your many marriages, and thus I seek advice.

I'm a 37 year old dentally challenged single female, although I'm partnered up with a Class A wide boy from Ponce-on-by

My real partner though is a fat middle aged homo from Wellington named Grant.

I'm having a bit on the side with little Jimmy from the green side too, but he's into recycling his own dung and he doesn't like horses, or cows, so I'm not a great fit there.

Anyway I've just had an old grey haired fella have a crack at me, a sugar daddy type. He smells of whiskey a bit, well a lot actually, and his dementia is troubling, plus he doesn't like Maoris, or immigrants, or capitalists, or private enterprise. He doesn't even own his own home but he wants to be my life partner and spoil me rotten.

Should I make him use protection and plenty of lube because I've got an awful feeling he's going to do to me what your mates have done to the WRC.

What should I do Liz, can I make this love quadrangle work and will you trust me and invest in me ?

BTW have you got Vern Trillo's number please ?

The weather has been overcast and dismal up here since Friday....another shite day today. Any poor bastard that drove up for a nice weekend wasted their time and petrol........and a lovely traffic jam awaits on the way home....it's all turning to crap I tell ya....:rolleyes:

Not down here in the “seat of power”, it’s beautiful. I have just come in from the garden to catch up on what the grizzling buttercups have got to say since I was on a couple of hours age. 

Some of my old favourites from up north have  really been pounding away on the keyboard, poundforpound, teddy etc so it must be crap up there after all, otherwise they would have been parked up at a sidewalk cafe sipping their lattes.

p.s. If I didn’t mention your name please don’t take offence as since Thursday I don’t know who my friends are anymore!

now what a post i am actually involved in the tourism industry and  get to meet plenty of different people from overseas now to answer part of your question   a  local vegie grower who pays $17 per hour cant get kiwis to work so he is forced into into employing people with work visas from overseas and where do those people spend there money guess what travelling round nz heres another one for you a local doc office looking for 2 people to work had to  get 2 young blokes guess where from nederlands and france i wonder why

Well in the industry I work in I hear many,many references to wages stagnating and being driven down because good hard working kiwis  can easily be replaced by outsiders willing to work for cheaper wages.  Add to that I know of several instances where I have been told by some very hard working people on working visas,that they feel they are being taken advantage of by local employers. Keeping a supply of cheaper labor coming in not only effects locals wages,it also effects those from overseas already here. 

Hard work used to be a way to get ahead in nz,now for many its just a way of treading water financially .   Sure there are jobs which cant be filled by locals,sure there needs to be an attitude change by some younger kiwis in so far as work ethic and expectations ,sure we need proper govt. policy to produce workers with the skills needed,  but focusing on those points as the only issues avoids addressing  whats currently going on in the real world.

From what I'm told by those from overseas,not the backpackers you refer to,i mean those working in the rest homes,the freezing works,the fish processing plant,the juice factory,the onion factory,the apple pickers, etc etc ,is they focus on sending any spare money they have back home. It does not get circulated anywhere to the same extent in the local economy as it does with locals. I even had the local national mp tell me one time it was a form of foreign aid. Maybe it is,however its being done at the expense of local kiwis.

I think everyone should visit the salvation army and just see some of the backgrounds of those they are helping out. Lifes a genuine struggle for many.Thats why change was needed,and why Winston went with labour.

You should use your time on the benefit to rebalance your understanding of history.  When Douglas took over the Finance portfolio the country was essentially bankrupt.  Bankrupt through the interventionist policies of Muldoon following a period of rampant largesse under a Labour Government.

We have a double whammy with the last living Muldoon relic in power Winnie talking intervention and isolationism along with an inexperienced raving socialist who just wants to spend more by giving to the unproductive Jacinda.

 

 

actually I have a very good knowledge of political history (I feel) having grown up in a true red (labour) family, which I resented, because our mp at that time was one aurther Faulkner. of mt roskill . I personally did not like him, think it was because one of my sisters had the misfortune of dating  one of his sons (Rodney), he was a total wanker, so I against family voted values, as I wouldn't vote labour, couldn't vote national . and yes I've met the likes of Muldoon, mike moore,and even norm kirk, who compared to todays politcians, were just that, true politcians, that at least you could count on being somewhat honest and deleiver policies ., this lot today promise the world, deliever sweet fuck all.

and as I may spend my time on the benefit is frankly none or your fuckin business, but I do spend it looking over history, that is why I have a good understanding of politics. although you may think differently , that's your opinion, not that , that counts much by me.i welcome the coalition with open arms and treat it like  a breath of fresh air...9 years of national  followed 2 terms of helen clark, the people on benefits,low income earners and the poor of this country can now foucus on their future, those living in cars in Auckland may just find a house they can afford to rent, to get the family unit up and running again, happy, and the children, feed and warm, we need to think of our own people not those poor, poor people immigrating to buy our land and houses from, poor old china.but hey, I stand for everything your against, so I really understand  your stand on this, and more than likely your biased approach.

That's why I think you should pin the Labour and NZ First Racing policies, so posters can easily keep an eye on what they are and what is being delivered.

One of note, was from NZ First, concerning an urgent review of the costs and operation of the NZ Racing Board

Presumably Labour provided a bloody great jar of lube as well.....:rolleyes:

The Kermadecs sanctuary is understood to have been a deal-breaker for NZ First. Other areas in which Labour is understood to have agreed to Winston Peters' demands while National refused to concede ground were:

* Cutting property sales to foreigners: National said no, warning that it would send an unfortunate message to our neighbours and be in breach of trade agreements, but Labour was happy to agree.

* Immigration: National would accept only continued incremental reductions, concerned about creating a labour shortage for business, but Labour agreed to slash about 30,000 off the numbers of arrivals coming through the international airports each year;

* Northland railways and port: Labour has agreed to a $500 million rail upgrade to kick off an investigation into moving the Auckland port to Whangarei;

* Reserve Bank Act: Labour's David Parker and Grant Robertson were willing to shift the measure from inflation to include foreign exchange rates and protecting jobs.

Its unbelievable some people can't see how much worse off even the poor people will be under this new motley lot. I can only put it down to some inherited bias - and thus stupidity.

P for P, Hesi is offering 100 bucks they get a second term!!!!!!!!!

Never said they were earning below minimum wage. The wage just comes with conditions attached sometimes.They are often  willing to work for wages below what the locals were paid,who had previously  been employed in the same jobs. Some employers deliberately targetI them,those who run business do so to make as big a profit as they can,wages are part of the equation. They will never complain. Many are seasonal workers who come here knowing the minimum wage here is the equivalent of 6 or 7 times what they could earn back home.

Look,you should know the remittance business is big. For example in 2015 the wellington based company Orbit Remit stated they were handling $25 million a month in money transfers(remittances),the money being sent from NZ back to countries like the phillipines ,india,etc .  . That's just the monthly figure for just one nz company,and of course that would have increased significantly in the last 2 years.  Its an expected practice, Irrespective of whether they are struggling to get by here.

Becoming very arrogant and sanctimonious in your old age Neil.

The wager offer was to Dave(Ohoka) only by the way

Where is the arrogance and sanctimony on what I wrote? The silly old crooked dwarf says harder times are coming and thats honest for once. 

For starters fuel prices will rise with the devalued dollar putting up all transport costs. Then anything exported in a world currency like Dairy products and meat will rise. Benefits will have to go up needing more tax on the productive sector who will raise prices to compensate. So away goes inflation.  And thats just for starters.

Now the Union paymasters get their industrial Fair pay bargaining and employers are enforced to comply.So here comes robots to do the work and unemployment rises.

The saddest thing is the pledge to close down the charter schools that are doing a great social good.

The robots are already here Nerula. Automation is everywhere. Orchards are now been planted to pick the Apples and Kiwi Fruit. Freezing Works, Food Manufacturing and Warehousing have all list thousands of jobs in the last decade. Would you begrudge anyone a living wage trying to feed their family etc.

Leaving aside the debate about the Kermadecs for a moment, isn’t this what MMP is all about? 

“Good governance is when the majority want and vote for something!”

If it happens, (the Kermadecs) so be it, the majority will have spoken, just like they did a few weeks ago.

Getting very tired of the cliches of "feeding the family, putting food on the table and children living in poverty" MOST( but not all) of the suspects are overweight or obese and suffer poverty of intellect, poverty of family planning, poverty of spirit, poverty of life skills but not poverty of materialism, much stolen. The millions of truly poor in the world would laugh in our faces!

Time to stop pandering to these imbeciles and call them out on personal responsibility. Michael Laws suggested offering $5K to the many dead-beat sperm receptacles, breeding condemned losers, to get themselves sterilised--I'd bump that to $50K and that would be money well spent.
