what a bunch of pessimists you guys are :D

Helen accomplished much
that is why National has adopted many of her policies.

it is repetitive mind rape
by the likes of David Farrar and co
which has numbed you
and dumbed you down
to ever lower expectations.

as an optimist, my expectations remain high:
i expect whatever government we have
to make NZ a better place

its time national got started

...and IT'S GONE.

Apparently the House voted 112 for repeal, 9 against. Given that the Greens are divorced from reality, that's effectively a unanimous vote.

You have no idea how relieved I am that that steaming turd has been removed from the laws of NZ. When it passed I said to myself "I'm never moving back to NZ while that law remains in place".

Hey Simon: Are you moving back to NZ yet? :p

One fewer things stopping me.

Like a better life.

It's really not so clear cut things are better in Oz for me.

I'd pay more income tax in Oz, but likely I'd have a higher nominal income paid in a more valuable currency.

Against this, I'd have to compete against hundreds in my niche field, verus about 20 here. And, in fact as one of the first in, there's not so much competition here really.

Australia is FULL of Australians.

Australian women are better looking, slimmer, more agreaable, and certainly dress more appropriately (on the 40C days). Circual Quay on a warm day is something special.

Lets see, thats 1 - 1 - 1 + 1 = 0. Looks like either country will do...

No it's 1 - 1 -1 + 5 = 4. I think I should move.

Govt supports Electoral Finance Bill changes

Also DPF is pretty pissed LOL

Anyone looking at America has to be retarded to not realise that election spending alone can destroy a country. Our voters are not a single bit smarter than theirs, it really is a matter of how much shit you're exposed too.

This is a really serious issue that got caught up in the mass ignorance of society collective (and extraordinarily immature) political consciousness.

Anyhow, good on National for doing something, better than nothing.

Politics is like the crowning jewel on humans smug self defeating ignorance.

But does this mean Ab can never come back to NZ :D
*runs & hides under bed*

I LOLed :D

Yeah, I'm pretty fucking furious about this. But let's be honest - noone my age is going to be moving to NZ, that's crazy talk. Hell, I can't understand why people are STAYING in NZ.

Where else is there to go? Australia? Pffft.
