1301179	2012-09-16 22:48:00	I seem to remember it was Clark and co who ignore the referendum.. Google is your friend. ;) "A total of 1,622,150 votes were cast with 87.6 percent in favour of repealing the controversial new law". "Prime Minister John Key said he had listened to the result of the referendum and plans to take some proposals to Cabinet on Monday. Mr Key refused to tell reporters in Australia what those initiatives were but said they fell short of a law change". And we all know he declared the referendum “Non Binding”. How he could just ignore the numbers to facilitate deals with the opposition eludes me, especially given that in New Zealand he’s a Servant not a Dictator. (I think?)	B.M. (505)

1301181	2012-09-16 23:33:00	To address the tile of this thread, I doubt it. The world has many more problems to occupy itself with than taking time out to laugh at us. Yeeeeee gods they don’t believe in underselling themselves do they. :lol: Seems to me a darn good look at their past activities would be in order. ;) But only if we learn from it and make damn sure any financial impropriety doesn't happen again. Iwi should be accountable to the taxpayer for what they do with our (the public) money. In the process, everyone will know where their handouts are going, the performance of their "investments" from Casinos, to dodgy pubs in West Sydney, to 2 Degrees. And further down the road, if this public money is imprudently "invested" or otherwise wasted, we need to make it very very clear that it's the end of the handouts. There's no more coming, and they're on their own. :mad:	WalOne (4202)

1301184	2012-09-17 00:43:00	And Fair Crack of the Whip, take a look at THIS. (www.hawkesbaytoday.co.nz) This quote in the article, from Mr Henare, struck me as funny ... "I don't have a problem with Mrs Awatere-Huata but it is the process which was used, it wasn't kosher," he said. So here's an expert on Jewish Halakhic law? Could this possibly lead to claims Maori originally arrived on the Ark, and preceded the canoes by many thousands of years? :rolleyes:	WalOne (4202)

Like she is a convicted criminal and dyes her hair blonde like a White woman, she shouldn't charge much anyway.	prefect (6291)
1301187	2012-09-17 02:02:00	Could say the same for these power companies who need water to get / provide power. And the councils who charge water rates. If noone owns water, why should people pay for these?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
