Why are you bothering to reply to me with your rubbish Wiz? Who are you hoping to convince? At least try and address the actual issue, factually provided.

You put it out there so people reply.

Don’t like facts and context that get in the way of your one sided posting?

The ironic thing as that Willis wanted four groups excluded.... with three being right wing. How funny..... @MaybeTop8 worried that the Business New Zealand, the New Zealand Initiative and the Taxpayers’ Union wouldn't be there.

Well yes of course No, it was more around the ineptness of National and Willis, and her behaviour.

Eric Crampton to his credit pushed for the inclusion of all parties.

Monbiot on point as always

How does the right tear down progressive societies? It starts with a joke | George Monbiot

Whether it’s bloodshed at Glastonbury or starving people on benefits, their ‘irony poisoning’ seeps obscene ideas into the range of the possible, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

On Why The Regulatory Standards Bill Is A Hot Mess

When the politician pushing a controversial piece of legislation starts accusing his critics of “derangement syndrome” – as David Seymour has done this week – then any chance of a rational debate on the Regulatory Standards Bill has gone

Rates rises are due to people voting against rates rises

Buckle up, it’s time to ignore our crumbling infrastructure for another generation.<br />

Here’s the real solution: countries and councils can only live by what the country and economy can produce and support.

Look at Australia - higher GDP - better assets and infrastructure. Look at third world countries - lower GDP and worse infrastructure.

We will be as rich as we are productive. Many councils are simply living beyond their means as the ratepayers (economy) doesn’t make us rich enough to pay for everything.

No underinvestment in infrastructure; it’s a lack of growth in GDP to pay for it.

While we run a banana republic economy, where no one is able to produce anything game changing, councils need to live within their means.

Simple really.

No, that was your mum.
