183051 2003-10-14 05:31:00 Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the creeping republicanism of government? No more Privy Council now despite the absence of compelling arguments or public support.
Helen for President?
Winston001 (3612)
183052 2003-10-14 05:41:00 Noted Winston. Maybe Southland will secede....... TonyF (246)
183053 2003-10-14 05:50:00 It's not creeping, its been coming quite quickly, and not quietly either. Helen is quite openly republican, and wouldn't mind it in the slightest.

It's sad really :(

183056 2003-10-14 05:57:00 I just hope that Labour don't win the next election. I can't stand this rubbish. segfault (655)
183057 2003-10-14 05:59:00 Who cares.
Unless you are a Maori, Criminal or Lawyer it will have no effect.
Why do we want some court in Britain to judge us anyway. Aren't we capable of making our own decisions in this country?

183058 2003-10-14 06:03:00 labour is basically crap for sure...

thought they werent gonna increase student fees...they did...
and they even promised the deaf people a relay service 2 elections ago, and have it in action..and still hasnt happened..
and the so called fart tax....

and the ge..they wont even listen to the public...
have noticed that each month on the poll for 1 news clark is losing 1-2 %...hope it drops worse..


i dont actually care where the privy council is...but it was kind of good in britian coz then its netural...far away from the media here who could biased them...however u say it...
and in this case they didnt listen to the country....we wanted a refrendum..didnt get it...

and i wonder whats gonna happen when clark meets bush....are they gonna approve nuclear ships just so we get back into US good books...

I wish i was in the welly uni when the students wouldnt let the US Ambassor speak...good job...go after clark next

why do we even vote when we dont get listened to...

183060 2003-10-14 06:29:00 Now now..
That's not nice.. Just because we're turning into a republic, and the Beehive is getting a $54million dollar refurbishment, or doesn't mean we have to start calling her Mrs President... :-D
Because she has her own plane (NZ1 - which is quite nice.. Been through it myself, not the exclusive thing you'd expect.. must be due for an upgrade then :p), has the SAS, GSAC and whatever other "national security" agency exists to protect her and keep NZ safe and has the right to monitor our lives without our knowledge of it, or the fact that she doesn't listen to the opinions of others doesn't mean anything... (Sounds like we're turning into the US! - woops.. that's me blacklisted on the NSA supercomputers)...
We'll know problems are occuring when guys in black suits and dark sunglasses start knocking on your door demanding to see your encryption key and asking that you keep secured transactions below 128bit so they can break them easier...

P.S: Just showing my ignorance here, but what did the Privy Council actually do?
