The National Government doesn’t care about jobs in Southland.
But the people of Otatara do – and so does Labour.

The Dipton Dipstick has disappeared to his mansion in Karori so he’ll never see this poster.
I feel sorry for them
!!!!!!!!!
In 2007, when Labour was in government, Rio Tinto threatened to close the smelter if the Emissions Trading Scheme went ahead. Did you care then?
So they threatened to close down did they? How did that go then? Has anyone turned blue, and fallen over yet?
I won’t bother to point out just how shallow, and childish the contributions are starting to become from our “incurable” tory brethren… that has been obvious for a while now…And has been a useful boost for those that actually care about how our country progresses….knowing just how bereft of serious argument the tories have become that they are reduced to childish, and bitchy attempts at denigration…
It gives us confidence in our direction to know that we have reduced our “incurables” to irrelevant, inaccurate, and childish whining…. GO TEAM!!!!!
Another misguided Nat supporter. Waste of time voting Lab as integrity and values are still worth something down here not the moral vaccum that the left are promoting. If it is a protest vote, go Conservative.
Advice on dealing with Rio Tinto.

Particularly important advice, if ones goal is to reduce power prices to New Zealand households and build a second transmission line to distribute the available cheaper power to businesses around the country – helping to sustain firms under pressure because of the high dollar. Sure the uncertaintly of surplus supply as line after line is closed till only one remains (the smelter uses 15% of our power) would undermine the sale of the power companies … but I am sure there is an alternative economic plan that does not require this.
Why is subsidy of a foreign owned company – and a project that inspired think big – that extorts lower and lower power prices so we guarantee profits a good idea? Does Labour support Key selling labour law and copyright law to Hollywood corporate interest and the related TPP sell outs as well?
New Zealand only uses 8% of the total production of aluminium… A real cost to New Zealanders, not a benefit.
