And don’t forget the Bro’s down the road.

I love the “Spin”:

“Today’s settlement is about mending a broken relation and moving towards a better future for all.
“It will also provide opportunities for economic development in the Tauranga region.” :lol:

Now get back to work, there’s further settlements pending.

The Govt effectively killed SCF when it put it under statutory management and we will never truly know why as the process is secret and JK was conveniently out of the country when it happened. There is something fishy and political that went on there. Years ago some wanted to change it so that the courts only could put a company under statutory management but of course the pollies didn't want that as they wanted to play god.

Your dead right Kahawai Chaser, what the hell is the government doing bailing out Finance Companies?

Even if the Government were debt free, it is wrong to waste billions of Tax Payers money in such a way .

I’ll bet if you held a referendum on the matter it wouldn’t be the wishes of the people . (Not that the Government takes a blind bit of notice of referendums)

And as Mike points out, there are more questions than answers on the SCF matter . I too am sure there are some things we haven’t been told about this matter .

However, two wrongs don’t make a right, so now we have two classic examples of the Government wasting our money . :rolleyes:

Good to know you don't mind having your money go endlessly in that direction.

Then we must assume you do not pay any tax, and therfore what you have to say is of no value.

1268684 2012-04-07 20:02:00 If the government elect was by majority, therefore the decisions they make regarding expenditure is on behalf of the majority, I'm ok with the decision. BTW, I did not vote for the current government - did you? sam m (517)
1268685 2012-04-07 20:26:00 If the goverment said one thing and did another, how did anybody vote for that.

They are beyond accountability and need to be reigned in.

And you too, as you voted for the commos.
