In reply to bert. I think if its a choice between eternal damnation and keeping the Alcohol lobby happy even English knows what side his breads buttered on. And to be fair, prohibition never solved anything.

In reply to OncewasTim. The corruption index asks business leaders whether their impression is that NZ is corrupt. "The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) ranks countries "by their perceived levels of corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys."" Remind people of this when they bring up our "high" scoring. It is an indication of how well corruption manages the media, if nothing else.

There has been corruption in NZ ever since the arrival of the Wakefield Brothers in the 1830’s and the establishment of the New Zealand Company, people are extremely naive here in New Zealand

So the same Cabinet that worked out Teina Pora should get a few dollars for each of those days locked up was the same one that gave a Saudi business man $11 million?

The claim that NZ is one of the least corrupt always amuses me….especially when I see those TI reports.
The difference here is that it’s nore covert.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s immigration consultants having an interest in recruitment/labour supply companies or acting as PTE agents, or crony appointments ( check out Frank’s ‘crony watch’, or things like ‘preferred supplier status’ for govt. Dept purchasing, or Ministerial whispers in various ears.
I actually prefer the more overtly corrupt-strangely they seem a lot more honest in that they make no pretense.

In reply to mafeking. Will lead to a constructive dismissal for some reason or reasons and then you have to think to yourself is it really worth the hassle ?
