  2. All Labour governments build homes, that’s what Labour does. Labour had another big build in Hobsonville set to go, but the Nats came into power and wiped it. John key wouldnt have any of that in his electorate. Judging by the announcements thus far, Andrew Little’s Labour is following in the proud tradition.

    I think Helen Clark deserved a lot of kudos for refusing to support America, Britain and Australia going to war against Iraq Simon Prast was the only one that said NZ didn’t last time, but not one person said Helen Clark’s name and gave credit where credit is due, that she kept us out of it and sent in a team of New Zealand Defence Force personnel, including 35 New Zealand Army engineers, to undertake humanitarian and reconstruction work after the warmongers had reeked their damage. Helen Clark has been vindicated for her stance, John key has not. I just felt sad that no one on the panel recognized her for that.

    Bush, Blair and Howard should be charged with war crimes. there’s no question about that. But it’s not going to happen, they are protected and they know it.

    More work on the Homosexual law needs and must be done, so all rights are covered and it is fairer for everyone, and what’s long overdue, is a clean slate for ridiculous historic charges.
