  1. Get Chippy on (a REAL politician) and make Damien warm up the sausage rolls as punishment.

  2. lol – get some people from down the pub. they’ll tells ya.. energy surplus is effed mate. anything else is sophistry. dense fuels are replete-ing. -it’s backwards from here until… the neo-liberal economy is secondary. get some real lefties on.

  3. Ruth Richardson!!! Brings back 90s nostalgia for this Gen Xer – the Mother Of All Budgets! Gen X grew up during the nadir of trust in social institutions -I found it hard, it was hard to find. Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

  4. We are still yet to recover from the fallout of Richardsons mother of all budgets that mutilated living standards in NZ and brought poverty levels so high in this country that ever since we’ve been seeing poverty related illness in children that we hadn’t seen since the great depression.

    Rheumatic fever, is wiped out in most western nations but came back to NZ with a vengeance in NZ.

    It’s amazing that the left only focus on Douglas, perhaps for the betrayal, but Richardson and the 4th National government deserve as much, if not more contempt from the left.

    It was that govts mother of all budgets and union obliterating and obsession with user pays in healthcare and education that cemented the downward spiral of NZ that no government has ever had the guts to rectify.

  5. I can’t wait to analyze those interactions.
    But you never know it could be a surprising interesting outcome perhaps.
    Time will tell no doubt.
