We are in with a slim chance to win this election. They have alread giving all they have to give. We just have to crack the right joke at the right time and J.K. is busted.
Might be afraid of people turning up with recording devices to catch what their plans really are; best keep it all behind closed doors and keeps smiling and waving from the helicopter.
That’ll be the reminder for the regional events scheduled through the national.org.nz website Events scheduler. If nothing is scheduled on the website scheduler, then it won’t come through in the email reminder.
Lax website management perhaps, but to suggest it represents the actual events going on in LNI is very naive. For example in Dunedin, there’s nothing “scheduled” for Southern Region, but in reality we’ve got a public meeting tonight in Caversham, a political party debate at Bayfield High School tomorrow night etc.
Perhaps you should spend more time being a Labour Party MP and candidate, and less time as the opposition’s attempt to counter Cameron Slater.
@ Richie
Ha ha. Year they wouldn’t want us knowing what they’re doing. I mean they are the urgent, middle of the night, government after all?
National are in the poo long term. Unfortunately the country is too while they deliberatly run the policies of stripping our wealth for selective harvesting by privateers, mainly transnationals.
The economic thinking used is our of whack with the world situation, not the world economic situation but the world situation.
Short term profit for a few demolishes our chances of sustainable existence with some sort of reduced but viable stable living standard.

The old asset sales lie of building schools was used last time but not followed through. Just lies, lies lies.
“At the launch, Mr Key announced that National would put the estimated $5 billion to $7 billion proceeds from partial asset sales into a special fund, the Future Investment Fund.”
I thought Assets sales were to pay down debt and get us back into surplus sooner? How does that happen when the sale funds get applied to projects?
@ Tracey: “I thought Assets sales were to pay down debt and get us back into surplus sooner?”
Monkey in power equals selfish intentions. Asset sales are to buy favors for himself after he leaves office and goes back into the private sector.
ed, it sounds like baubles to bribe voters, as opposed to tthe responsible debt pay down we were promised?
As for “modernising” schools, they are repairing them and bringing them up to the standard of about tenyears ago, it’s about buildings not children.
