&quot;In 2004, the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said that as regime change was the prime aim of the Iraq War, it was illegal. With great sadness and anger, I now believe him to be right,&quot; Lord Prescott wrote in a Sunday Mirror column, the confession coming shortly after Sir John Chilcot&#039;s report into the lead-up to the war was unveiled...]]></description>

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/81959563/one-dead-after-ute-and-truck-collide-on-hauraki-plains   


WHILE &#039;Labours&#039; housing policy&#039; - it seems the whole energy of the Labour Party thrust for a &#039;game changer&#039; only seemed to deal with housing while all other issues were left unattended sadly.

It Andrew can now turn his &#039;critical applications&#039; of &quot;Game changer policy&quot; to getting labour&#039;s own &#039;Kiwirail moving the freight again&#039; we would be much more impressed as their opposition parties are advocating Greens, &#038; NZ FIRST.

As of now everyone who travels on our single lane roads today knows full well, that there is a glaring issue that confronts everyone is we have such dangerous road transport issues all over this country now that even AA&#039;s General Manager Mike Noonan on RNZ this morning is advocating for more &#039;slow bays&#039; which wont do much except speed up cars/trucks and kill even more of us!!!!

With truck gridlocked roads so dangerous that every day  a truck crashes or kills other road users, as happened again this morning again at Thames when a pick up and a truck collided on highway 2 see coverage only on  http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/81959563/one-dead-after-ute-and-truck-collide-on-hauraki-plains   http://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/fatal-crash-waikato 

KIWIRAIL RESTORATION PROJECT PLEASE ANDREW NOW!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description>
