| 436958 | 2006-03-10 01:14:00 | So that's why they are making new bylaws to "stop" (showing touching faith in the power of laws to make people good ;) )the violent behaviour of gangs. Metla is a one person gang. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 436959 | 2006-03-10 01:38:00 | Don't think it is a pitence now. It's close that on NZ plus local call charges.. Hmm...The other issue is that between my wife and I we were bringing in near $1800 a week wages. So everything was a pittance :cool: |

| 436961 | 2006-03-10 01:41:00 | Logical nonsense,a contradiction in terms,001 will back me up on this. Logically speaking from a formal logic point of view or definition, you are probably correct. But I was using the word in the laymans sense, where one man's logic is another man's folly. I have no doubt that Rodney Hide thinks ACT's policies are very logical indeed, but only about 1 or 2% of the population on present polling would agree. :) |

| 436962 | 2006-03-10 01:52:00 | Logical nonsense? reductio ad absurdum is a common tool of logical argument. It could also be a description of the process used to making an political/economic "theory", taking a series of plausible assertions to make a final conclusion (which in the real world is complete nonsense). oxymoron: A politician using a respirator. |

Can we assume Met is back on the dozers with that kind of money? |

| 436964 | 2006-03-10 05:30:00 | That sort of money was a few years ago, and was the going rate on a union controlled constuction site, with a couple hours overtime a day and half a day Saturday I would bring home a grand in the hand. Mrs Metla was being paid $200 a day doing quality control in a drug factory. She worked 4 days on 4 days off. Pretty much just watched the product go by and selected a few from every run to be tested. Though, Our PM will tell you the grass isn't greener..... |

What I also enjoyed about Aussie was I could go visit the Doc at any time and it was covered, rather then like here where only those who refuse to work get the perks. Redundency was also paid by my employer, everytime I quit a job I got an instant cash payment, usually a few grand at a time.Freakin awesome. |

Worth pointing out,12.5% of NZ live in OZ and increasing,yet T still thinks it's the way to go. |
