Citizens keep voting them back in. That's all the encouragement they need.
no one voted for SOLGM.
from the press release:a range of controversial miscellaneous amendments on the Local Government act 2002, proposed by SOLGM (New Zealand Society of Local Government Managers). SOLGM is the professional organisation for Chief Executives and senior managers in local government.

aaah, i reckon if Mr. Hatoyama had ever heard of the export trade of used Japanese vehicles to nz, he would probably say that it was a numb-skulled thing for an OECD coutry to be doing. y'know, turning a low-population density country into a giant carpark for Japanese clunkers. but he would have to be a bit more tactful than that in his public utterances...
nevermind...

i totally forgot!
killing in the name of-----it's just politics, nothing to do with morality.
how could i have been so dumb!?!
[note to self------must go home and re-learn these category thingies] -
did they ask a question about whether or not it is moral to support the illegal invasion of a central asian country and the subsequent bombing of families from several thousand metres above?

no, Y. Hatoyama is a fan of "leading by example".

just in case you hadn't noticed, the "rich" western countries have transferred most of the polluting industrial activity to the "poor" developing countries.

more specious arguments, then?
y'know, 'cause being a driver is just like going to a university.
y'know, 'cause ya have ta have a licence, y'know, just like NCEA level 3, eh?
y'kow, 'cause ya have ta sit some tests, just like exams, eh.
and it's not like drivers' money isn't going to be paid to the AA by the gummint for a whole lot of services for everyone, even people who aren't AA members, nah.
y'know, a bit like them "voluntary" student associations getting our hard-earned student loan money through the back door of "university fees"! bloody outrage, i say.so, when da ya reckon my human rights will stop being violated by that Key bloke, who says i have to pay taxes to his "IRD". i dont wanna be associated with those, people! it could lead to socialism, or war, or something.

i had the pleasure of going to the Lyttleton Farmers' Market at the end of January last year. I have to say that it was the best i've been to. a really nice community feel but also welcoming for people from outside the area. the two markets i've been to in AKL and the Matakana market are all ok with some nice stuff, but for loads of fresh produce and locals cooking up a storm, Lyttleton sets a high benchmark, imho.

Procreating in your early forties feels a bit old. In your fifties is ok if you're an active guy but anything over 40 seems a bit old for a woman.
ooh, ooh, does this mean i get to be the second stephen to tell someone to stuff their stereotyping bullshit up their jumper?
