It wouldn't matter who was governing NZ at the moment as we would be in the same situation. Most western countries are hurting at the moment. :) I agree that some of the problems are due to global problems, however not all countries are having the same problems NZ is having. To blame NZs problems on petrol and food prices is too easy, and taking into account inflation, we are paying less now for petrol than we were in the 80's. I blame the government for not encouraging and having protection systems in place for investors, both in the sharemarket, and in finance companies. Some of these finance companies that have failed, were due to incorrect information in the prospectus's, which is the publics main information when deciding to invest. The public can only trust these documents, so if they are wrong and there wasn't regulation in place to check these companies, there is no protection. They should be setting up systems to encourage us to invest our money in other NZ companies and to protect us, rather than putting our money into property, which now as we can see is facing a major bust, where prices could fall more than 30%. Our companies are also not attractive to global investors, especially when the government makes vital decisions about companies for political reasons, like they did with Auckland airport. Financial advisor Brain Gaynor is very critical of some of this governments policies.	robbyp (2751)

685849	2008-07-23 04:48:00	Because they have put a big shop in Levin and are boosting the size of Palmerston North's store by quite a bit. Ah,so you are saying they are moving shops north?	Cicero (40)
685850	2008-07-23 05:32:00	Rangiora...LMAO, I had a house down there about 10 yrs ago, christ, what a hole that place was....the locals were snobs?....	SolMiester (139)
685851	2008-07-23 08:12:00	Let there be no doubt,most of the ills that beset us are as a result of Cullen and co. And now Hanover Finance has collapsed. It just keeps getting worse. Property prices dropping 30-40%, here we come.	robbyp (2751)
685852	2008-07-23 10:28:00	Ah greed, it goes a long way...... Too much loaned with not enough kept in reserve, to people trying to buy a property who could only just afford it yesterday. Needs everybody in place to keep the house of cards from collapsing. Keep borrowing to build something in the hope that the upward price spiral will continue..... now where have I heard that before??? But... back on topic.... The problem I've had with CGA is determining what is a reasonable amount of time that something should last without fault, its very open ended. It basically comes down to what a reasonable person would consider a reasonable time frame with regard given to price paid and quality. Most might consider that a TV or stove should last for quite some period of time given past experience but the importers don't, or at least not in my own case. Plus as just mentioned (with regard given to price paid and quality) you wouldn't expect say an DSE TV to last as long as a top of the line Sony. Whether the same can be said for an Acer??? After all some have had long runs from them as they have with DSE TV's. But if those who repair them say they get "proportionally' more of them back then that would definitely make me seek a refund if it's been repaired several times in only a few months already.

685854	2008-07-23 13:53:00	I suggest that you accept the offer to repair, but tell the manager in writing that if it fails again you will want a full refund, not repair or replacement. It would be reasonable to assume that you will have lost all faith in the product/brand by that time. DSE are not often hard to deal with. Cheers Billy 8-{) Werd.	rob_on_guitar (4196)
