Nationals plans for education to immediately rollout the vaccine are stupid we need to do the Medsafe checks first actually any of Nationals plans are plain stupid and wishful thinking cause they are not in power and got voted out in big number losing seats they held for decades. And to make matter worse National have a shite leader and despite appearances are still very much a divided party.

Is it good for us to sell off everything of value that we devise? By trying to run it ourselves and develop it with NZ brights plus some overseas input we might develop some substance behind the scenic shopfront we set up; sort of a western stage set with us lining up for gigs as local yokels. With occasional hits like Blazing Saddles moments.

Martyn, I think you get your title things wrong. So, there is strange man Trotter and neoliberal The Standard, and you in between. Hard to take any of you entirely seriously. No worries, we’re all human, but I wish.
I think ‘we’ ‘re fucked. And so do all the thinkers.

Hard work no picnic: And it is hard work. Contrary to the suggestion that Shaw will be holidaying in Europe, the COP summits involve two straight weeks of at least 16-hour days.

When Treasury stepped forward in 1984 with a plan to encourage our supposed NZ Finance Minister to overturn our form of economics and politics that was all right.
Now the Reserve Bank has upset the right wing think tank NZ Initiative (far too many i’s in this word) that seems to think that its way is ‘the’ way we should be acting.

I note my entry to tdb through Google is being filled by the Tonga Development Bank which has apparently registered a blog which came up when I entered ‘tdb blog’. Cunning these advantage seekers, in elbowing everyone to the side.
