With the COL in power at present, I think we need a Minister of Transparency.First customer Cindy since she has conveniently forgotten her election pledge.Second Customer Winston First since he is playing the victim instead of the culprit with his latest legal action.Third Customer - take your choice of Phil or Angry Andrew. Both have major issues with fronting up with the facts.
If I had a woman ask this of me I would pack her bags and send her off down the road...â¦and think how lucky I was to dodge a bullet !!Not going to happen !!!
I see you have no interest in living in a democracy where your opinion is sought on matters such as our National flag. You will be right at home then with a dictatorial PM that doesnt even consult her own cabinet. Enjoy - its not going to last.
Funny reading the Leftie commentators on here flat out trying to justify Littles shambles and how it is MMP at work..... Keep going lads. Its entertaining !!!
What ????This tragedy happened only a matter of hours ago and Matt starts talking about whether this is a speed limit issue before the day is even closed....Back off media !!!!
This whole shambles of a COL is due to transparent Cindy who didnt want to be PM suddenly deciding that she would put herself before NZ and run for PM. The only way she could do that was to promise other minor parties that they would be represented in parliament and that they would receive what ever funding / agreement they needed for the crackpot policies. eg Oil decision, Winston Firsts rural Billion, another Billion to the Pac Islands etc etcThen transparent Cindy tells us that we cant actually know what was agreed to...¦.. what a joke !! Its our country and our money !!!
Nope. Just some weird promise to the crazy Greens in order to get into power..... of course we will know this since Cindy has been sooooo very transparent and made the COL agreement available to the public.
And who couldnt see this happening. Next issue for people not in Akl is not only are they about to get a new fuel tax, but they will also end up paying most Akls fuel tax.....Thanks COL for your lack of foresight with your knee jerk policies.. .
Change Tax Working Group to Cullens Tax Implementation Group. Clearly they have a pre-meditated plan to introduce a full blown CGT. So transparent......
Well done COL. Seems like one failure after another since the election.You were warned about business confidence. Guess what - if you stuff the economy, none of your ideological claptrap will even be possible. All part of the developing fiscal hole...¦...
Que the Leftie flip flops - we are getting used to them.They were warned BEFORE the election that there was not enough builders , sparkies etc for the Socialist dream that is Kiwibuild.Guess who was proved right ?
Good concise opinion piece. No wonder we have a shambles ¦¦.. Greens, Labour and Winston First all come from very different angles on each issue.They can prattle on about the MMP environment until the cows come home but in reality the decision making process with the COL is flawed and onerous. I would prefer any government regardless of whether they are Blue or Red to just get on with what they said they would do - if the voters like it they will be back. If they dont , they are gone.....Wait - wasnt that FPP ?
Labour is effectively toothless.... how about calling a snap election and see if you get a mandate for some of your whacky ideas ? Once you are gone we can get back to building another prison or 2 and drilling for oil again....
In the mean time the COL bumbles along with the Deputy PM suing his own govt even when he is the one responsible for the double dipping.Then the joke that is Kelvin sleep on mattresses Davis, the incoherent Greens and Twitford stumbling along with his 18 houses.What a shambles !!
The bumbling COL is letting you down sport. You wonder why you get so many down votes all the time..... its because most people see right through transparent Cindy and her cronies.
same. His solution for possible overcrowding given that projections are this new prison will be too small, is for mattresses on the floor... What a cop out !!!!
its getting harder and harder to just the incompetence shown by the COL ministers isnt it.....good luck with that.you can only try blaming previous govts for do long. Gets ridiculous after a while.
Incorrect. The reason they are poor is they are Socialists lead by a dictator. Plain and simple. Sort of similar to what we now have here actually...¦...
