| 558747 | 2007-06-13 10:41:00 | Very nicely done I must say. But then again, when did Helen Clark and her populist policies ever have any teeth or guts. There are probably one of the most reactive rather than proactive govt's I've ever seen. Plus she wants a Free Trade Agreement with China before any other country and completely destroy the manufacturing industry left in NZ so saying bad things to China wouldn't be the best way to do it. |

There are aspects of Australia that leave a lot to be desired, but on the overall balance, Australia wins out over New Zealand under its current administration. | KenESmith (6287) | ||

| 558754 | 2007-06-14 02:24:00 | Perhaps Somebody and others would care to apologise after reading the latest news........ www.stuff.co.nz I stand by my comments 100% based on the other actions the Clark-led government have shown in the past, and have continued doing this year. A "chance", informal, and unofficial meeting doesn't count. |
