Shop Trading Hours Act 1990 Repeal (Easter Sunday Local Choice) Amendment Bill (Todd McClay)
Could have been worse.
They all look interesting, though the Easter Sunday one looks grim – imagine having to choose between your family and much needed extra cash, grrr.
Spud: welcome to a National government.
But Adams’ bill is actually rather good. But I’m horrified at Quinn’s and Woodhouse’s.
Horrified yes, but unsurprised I’m sure.
The Easter trading issue is an interesting one – kind of like advertising on TV on Sunday mornings – it’s an issue that tends to divide the right wing into the capitalists and those with a religious right wing outlook. Should make for interesting debate.
imagine having to choose between your family and much needed extra cash, grrr.
Yes, and imagine all those people that aren’t religous – they have tp take a day off for a holiday they have no interest in, when many of them would probably far rather work for the extra cash.
when many of them would probably far rather work for the extra cash.
Doesn’t that make them protestants?
(Damn protestant work ethic is a plague on humanity. Can’t we have an atheist leisure ethic instead?)
“But Adams’ bill is actually rather good. But I’m horrified at Quinn’s and Woodhouse’s.” – Why is it good?
I’m sure there are some atheists who would like to spend Easter drinking up and who are grateful to the religious for giving them a day off.
The shop trading hours issue should really be put to a binding referendum.
This could be the National government’s Section 59.
Adams’ bill requires that when a company is gathering funds on behalf of a charity it has to tell people, when asking for donations or whatever, if the company will be keeping more than 50% of the money they raise for themselves. I believe it is known as the Dancing With The Stars Amendment Bill
Anyone know what Hayes’ is about?
Thanks.
@Spud – I sense a problem – 0800 787 797
Roger Douglas’ bill makes me laugh, a few friends of mine in Customs will be hoping it doesn’t get pulled they’ll be out of a job…
Quinn’s bill is [deleted, abusive, play the ball not the man - Chris]
@idiot/savant – what change is Woddhouses bill looking to make..?
Anyone know what Hayes’ is about?
Not yet, but I’m working on it. If only the Table Office publicised bills ather than treating them as private documents (effectively meaning an increasingly important part of parliament’s business happens in secret)
@Jeremy Harris LOL
Rest assured that I’m too poor to be an alcoholic, unless I start making my own. 
But yes I do like my drink, can’t wait for new years eve…
what change is Woddhouses bill looking to make..?
Replace STV with FPP in DHB elections. This won’t solve the problem of “voter confusion” Woodhouse claims to be trying to solve; it will just make those elections less fair.
(The problem isn’t the electoral system – its at large election. Firstly, this means you have to pick seven names, which is too many already. Secondly, it means you get a lot of candidates. The result totally saturates the decision space. Switching to FPP doesn’t change that at all. If we want better DHB elections, we need to use wards to reduce the decision-space to a manageable level).
It will assist with lowering voter confusion. It is less confusing having to determine which 7 candidates to vote for than it is which order to rank 35 candidates.
How about SNTV?
How about we allocate each candidate a ball and spin them all together in a lotto machine and the first 120 balls get a seat in parliament. Majority gets government.
It will assist with lowering voter confusion. It is less confusing having to determine which 7 candidates to vote for than it is which order to rank 35 candidates.
Firstly, you don’t need to rank all 35 candidates. Our system of STV is non-exhaustive. Secondly, regardless of which system you are using, you still need to pick 7 people you like from 35. Which is simply too many.
